In honour of Super Mario, I have selected him as my fantasy captain. Please don't let me down.

Going to be so pissed if it comes back on and there's a goal.

Motta's injury killed this game

The decision to use the 3rd sub did. Madness. 33mins plus another 30 if they managed a comeback,without an injury. Huge gamble.

You can only say that it was madness in hindsight. At 2-0 down you have to roll the dice.

In the same way as putting a million dollars on nz to win the 2010 world cup would have been madness in hindsight.

Shame there's no 3rd/4th playoff at the Euros - Portugal v Germany with nothing important riding on it would have been good entertainment value

They used to, but from 1984 onwards they dropped it. Personally, I think it's a good call and think the World Cup should follow suit. The 3rd/4th playoff is a game no-one wants to play in. It's pure cruelty!

True, its harsh on the teams involved but they are often great matches to watch. I'm especially thinking Germany v Uruguay at the 2010 WC and South Korea vs Turkey in 2002, both of which were 3-2 games IIRC. From a purely selfish spectator's perspective I'm a fan of it!

You can include Germany v Portugal in 06 that was another good game.

Not to mention the 7 goal thriller between NZ and the Solomon Islands in the 2012 OFC Nations Cup 3rd/4th playoff
