It took Ivory Coast a half to get acclimated to the teams new 4-2-3-1 formation, but the change proved fruitful, as the Elephants scored 3 goals in quick succession in the 2nd half to win 3-0 over Czech Republic. Drogba's long-range effort opened the scoring before Yaya Toure found a fortunate rebound outside the box to add a 2nd. Drogba fired home a penalty for the 3rd to put the match out of reach.

Boo this man

I know it's late but if anyone's still around I'll probably be up for an hour so before the alcohol takes over. Wanna play?

M Balotelli 27' Pirlo?
I have no idea

Crazy game that was all counter-attack all the time throughout. Brazil scores a goal late (I had been up almost 22 hours so I forgot who scored like an asshole) in stoppage time to salvage a draw. shiftee is going to be fucking ridiculous with Pirlo to Balotelli over the top and in the box.

Hopping on in an hour... hoping to play my last official friendly. Open to playing some unofficial ones as well.

I have layed 3 friendlies, but Id be happy to play -

I think its weird that you cant play more than 3 that get recorded into the spreadsheet. It doesnt effect anything, so whats the big deal?

Time commitment, making sure a variety of teams are included, efficiency, easier to keep track of, TFS postponed games to make up, etc.

Balotelli's goal was assisted by Di Natale and Hulk scored your goal. I wish Hulk was Italian if only in FIFA lol

GG man that was a pure chess match trying to break down each others defense.

And yes.. me not excluding the pic of the soccer ball in the reply was intentional. It's a really nice ball.

You can play as many friendlies as you like, but only 3 will be official for the World Cup tourney. RedAL925 can confirm this though as I may have misunderstood a previous post.

Thank you... I was gassed playing that game. Fell asleep twice holding the controller.

Glad you have an appreciate of the Azzurri. Makes it much easier to stomach not running them. You gotta get Del Piero and Totti Goal on the team somehow. And I'm dead serious about Nesta... make room for him

Italy has 1 friendly left. Who wants to play?
