Why didn't Wales qualify?

because gareth bale could only beat Macedonia and Scotland, not Belgium, Croatia, Serbia...

Typical awful first game performance by Italy. The De Sciglio injury proved real problematic as we had no left wing presence and Paletta was pretty crappy most of the match at CB. Why not Bonucci???

Got lots of work to do before Friday.

Why did Joel Campbell have to impress so much? West Brom looked like getting him on loan a few weeks back, but I think that chance has probably now gone

I'm not über familiar w/ Paletta, but know he was up for either Argentina NT or Italy. Anyone know more about why he chose Italy? Arg. could have used him in central defense, while Italy has bounds of skilled defenders.

Obviously Paletta is starting before many of them, but still wanted to know.

I've expected more of him.

Shaqiri is supposed to be , really good. But whatever he brings to Switzerland is negated by arsenal's ex dynamic donkey duo of Djourou and Senderos

^ Indeed. I was assuming that game was going to end as a draw, and then...

This may be my least favorite goal celebration, along w/ RVP's tongue-out and the new CR7 flex...

So undignified...
