Yep....that flopping was how Pirlo perfectly kicked the ball into the net.

No, but it was exactly how he had the opportunity. Hell of a strike, but stupid flop was stupid.

Italia are dominating this game. I really like how their playing 3-5-2, something different is always nice, but it's even better to see it working.
And what a free-kick!

Yeah, I mean I guess I should be used to it by now being half Italian, but everyone flops. I just find it stupid that Italy is always the team singled out the most.

And Portugal. Everyone flops. Some just do it more than others. Those teams at the top of my list. Which is why they get singled out more than others.

It also always seems that those two teams usually have the most blatant/ridiculous/unnecessary flops.
Embelishing is part of the game, but the Italian and Portuguese teams always seem to grab their face if they get kicked in the shin, or make a move and barely get touched, then fly to the ground 20 seconds later after they lose the ball. It's all perception, and you can't really deny that those two teams are worse (better?) at it than everyone else. Oh, and Mexico as well, they're just not as good at soccer so it's less irritating and more hilarious.

Nice goal for Croatia!
Didn't like the sub Italy just made. Balotelli looked a lot more of a threat than Cassano.

Meh. Define better. Last World Cup? Probably. But it's not like Mexico beats the US more often than not. Plus the US isn't good, so...
Also, Mandzukic has 4 shots in the tournament and 3 goals. Awesome.

Torres starting for Spain. Hopefully he can build some confidence against Ireland.

I always have to even tho Buffon and his singing is awesome. And Bellitoli makes me laugh....I think he might be Andrew Bynum's Italian brother....

Nice efficiency.
