Official Game Thread: United States vs Italy

[ckb2001]

Did they take him out because of his leg, or because he has one yellow and another would be disasterous?

Not sure, but you almost never see subs because the player got a yellow, though it does happen. So, it was probably tactical or because of an injury.

The key from Italy is not Totti, but Pirlo!

Italy offsides, I didn't see it but i will agree.

Defense and counterattack is their game but the USA has no choice.

Italy have ten class players left on the pitch, but I could see the USA nicking this one :wink:

Both probably.The refs have a special eye out for him because he is a dirty player.
