Ouch...


"Magnifico squadra italiana umiliare inutili giocatori inglesi" could/should have been a thousand headlines; I am not going to comment of the useless bunch of hapless lazy gob-shites that were in England shirts on Sunday; what is it about multi-million pound earning footballers - the ones that earn the equivalent of a hundred season tickets every week - that consistently FAIL to perform for their country? Surely it is every players ambition to represent their patria? Maybe not. That said, some take pride and looking at the player comparison in the next link where Peerless Pirlo completely slaughters the combined efforts of TWO THREE [thanks Paul] English players: he ran and passed his heart out - you know, like you should do - and you have to admire his penalty.

What I found interesting about the stats was that Joe Hart completed more passes (45) than any other England player. No problem with 45 passes when it's Victor Valdes passing out from the back because almost every other Barcelona player will at least double that but we didn't. Pirlo completed more passes than three English players (Cole, Johnson and Gerrard) combined.

Cheers Paul, unbelievable about Hart; I have updated the post to read 3 players! :-)

Sorry, didn't mean to come over all anorak, I just happened to reading the stats before I loggedon.
