Thermopylae 15,286 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's the sort of penalty even to see it in training would be great but to do it in such an important game with the whole world watching is 10 times better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 <div>It's always a sign of a truely great player of that style, when they put in a MOTM performance, yet make it look absolutely effortless. Pirlo and Riquelme are two players whom in recent years have been able to do just that.</div>Players like Pirlo and Riquelme are my favourite footballers to watch. They have an elegance about them and produce beautiful moments - as if they have all the time in the world on their hands when other, lesser mortals scurry around in their shadow.Redondo, Netzer, Cruyff, Baxter, Zidane and a few more - there's a joy in watching them that so few offer.

don logan 8,062 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 An interesting stat. He completed more passes in yesterday's game than the entire England midfield plus Rooney combined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstone 374 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The penalty is a moment of beauty, the fact that as he was taking it italy were at a disadvantage, the fact that joe hart has landed on the ground and turned his head before the ball has crossed the line but mostly the expression on pirlos face doesnt change throughout, i fucking love a bit of arrogance i do!! I was speaking to an italian guy today and they say they call pirlo teaspoon in italy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which game were you watching?Pirlo stagnated in his last few seasons at Milan. I don't think anyone denies that. On the other hand between about 2002 and 2007 he was brilliant, and was the third best player (officially, but probably more effective overall than Zidane) at the 2006 world cup. Then, at the age of 32 and "past it", he moved to Juventus and was their best player in their title-winning season. What a loser, eh?You're reading the wrong fucking newspapers. It is genuinely embarrassing to read your posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Pirlo was widely regarded as one of the outstanding players in Siere A last season and was the a key component in a team who didnt only win the league, but went undefeated, in the process.
