Paraguay couldn't ask for a better half. Italians are frustrated!

Paraguay has some nice pieces in the backline and the midfield. Forwards leave quite a bit to be desired.

They need to not get over anxious with adrenaline and push up to far and they should be able to continue this play.

Funny story...I was at a wedding reception on Sat while the US vs Eng game was on. All the pussies who played soccer in HS were gathered around the "telly" while those of us that played real sports snarked in on all their women.

So did you just "snark" or do anything worthwhile?

Also, high school is over my friend lol.

You're so cool.

I had a wedding to go to but my ankle still hurt like shit so I decided against it. I'm not 21 yet anyway so the point of going to reception was pretty moot.

If you mean did anyone get action back up in one of the suites...the answer is a big affirmative. And I mean BIG a-FIRM-ative. Someone please pass my pussy call-out along to Rock, the little weasel has me blocked out.

Cool story bro, now run along and do some more "snarking" for us all.

Buffon is hurt, according to the announcers.

Wow, I can't stand the flopping. You'd think 44 legs would start the game and the way the players react, 38 legs will be left at the end. What a joke.

Another GK mistake. Italy gets an equalizer on the whiff by the goalie.

People need to get over the flopping. There is more of it in a 48 minute NBA game than a 90 minute soccer match. Every damn pick and roll has flopping. Every drive has flopping. The diving is what is bad, not the flopping. But there havent even been many dives so far.

I don't mind the flopping/diving whatever it is you want to call it. Its faking an injury than when the foul isn't called you get up and you are totally fine. You were just acting like your leg was blown off by a land mind or something but now you can get right up? That is my complaint.

And we end in a draw, 1-1. Definitely helps Paraguay's chances if they can beat Slovakia. That Slovakia-Italy game takes on a lot more importance now though.
