Match about to start. The stadium is filled to the rafters
But some people go cry today.

Wow. Look at the passion with which the Italian team sang their national anthem!
This is what going to the WC is all about.
I actually had goosebumps watching them sing

Italy - Ventura
France - Deschamps
Belgium - Wilmots and now Martinez...

If these were African FAs, we'd swear they were corrupt and lacking foresight :lol:

I remember the last time I saw a national team sing with such passion and fury, it was a sight to behold, they were ready to murder their opponents. Such pride.

It was Brazil in WC14 just before Germany dropped seven eggs down their throats.

The atmosphere is supercharged as expected. Italian fans booed during the Swedish anthem.

By the way, Sweden got away with what should have been a PK. Not stone wall but it was a foul nonetheless.

The ref is doing his best YET he is doing a rubbish job because both teams should have had pks and Chiellini should already be off

Not if they can't keep all XI on the field, they're playing with too much emotion and little sense thus far.
