To start off, this post is not about TK’s writers. It’s not about Liverpool or Scousers in general. Let’s just look at it as an anti-climactic way to spend the rest day between the end of the group stages of EURO 2012 and the beginning of the quarter finals. So let’s see how and why the eight teams that are out of contention for continental glory instead find themselves face down in elephant crap.
If you want the abridged version of the Croatia-Ireland match, this is it. Super Mario Mandzukic, who scored a brace, takes out Ireland manager Giovanni Trappatoni. Pretty much sums up Croatia’s sheer dominance over a pedestrian Irish side.
Poor Trap, no 73 year old manager deserves to take sideline hit, let alone what looks like a crotch shot. I’m sure when he’s inducted to coaching heaven, he’ll share some laughs with Tommy Lasorda and Joe Paterno.
