Buffon: 'Defeat changes nothing' Jun 20, 2014 Gigi Buffon insists the defeat to Costa Rica “changes nothing” for Italy’s final group match against Uruguay. “At the end of the day we hoped to do better and to do what we had prepared to make life difficult for Costa Rica,” the goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia. “Instead we had a few more problems than anticipated and after taking the lead Costa Rica controlled the situation well.” This is Buffon’s fifth World Cup campaign and it was his first appearance of the tournament, having missed the 2-1 win over England with a sprained ankle. “You get back on your feet by looking on the bright side, which is that even a draw wouldn’t have changed anything, as we still needed a draw against Uruguay,” assured the captain. “In fact, even a victory would’ve left us needing a point to be absolutely sure. Costa Rica’s qualification was a shock for those who take some things for granted and think there are still weak teams in a World Cup. “For several years now we have realised there’s no such thing as a Cinderella side in major tournaments.” Italy can still qualify with a draw against Uruguay, as they are in front on goal difference, but England have been eliminated.

Hai detto niente!

É proprio lui che mi preoccupa. Rischiamo davvero di uscire.

Quasi come Moreno infatti.

Costa Rica = Corea

Italia come la Spagna, senza fiato.

Arbitraggio insufficiente.

Cassano sfiatato

Bergomi non é da considerare.

Non ci reggiamo in piedi.

Grande Giorgio!

L'amico di Mamozio fallisce miseramente.

Lo stiamo facendo apposta per buttar fuori l'Inghilterra.

Sempre in fuorigioco.

Cassano dannoso.

Non perdere la testa Mario!

Lo conosciamo: gioca nel Copenhagen.

Siamo sempre in fuorigioco.

Colpa della panza?

Molto bravo Ruiz numero 10 e capitano del Costarica. Gioca in Olanda nel PSV Eindhoven.

Mamozio felice .... Entra Insigne!

Ovazione dello stadio per Andrea Pirlo!

Furbo Cassano. Punizione per Pirlo.
