Are the Italian fans satisfied with the way their team are playing?
 
Rooney & Co. are getting some stick - might fire them up for the next match

Re: WORLD CUP 2010 / Andy Murray defends Rooney

Murray quick to defend Wayne RooneyAndy Murray has leapt to the defence of under-fire England star Wayne Rooney 19 June 2010 09:34pm Andy Murray defended under-fire England striker Wayne Rooney tonight as he spoke of the pressures of carrying a nation's hopes on his shoulders.
All eyes are on Murray at Wimbledon and Rooney in South Africa in the coming weeks.
Speaking ahead of the opening matches at the All England Club on Monday, the Scot also revealed he had not decided yet whether to bow before the Queen when she comes to visit on Thursday.
Murray suggested Rooney would regret criticising fans for booing England off after the 0-0 against Algeria.
"But it is difficult," Murray added. "It's obviously a lot of pressure on England to do well at the World Cup. It's the same with the tennis players here, with a lot of sport in this country, because it gets a lot of coverage.
"Everybody loves watching sport, especially the big events. People want to see him do well. When you don't, they're not best pleased."
The 23-year-old could play in front of the Queen on Centre Court at the All England Club on Thursday, in the monarch's first visit since 1977. But Murray, who received a letter of congratulations from Buckingham Palace after his Queen's triumph last year, said he had not decided yet whether to bow.
In a press conference ahead of the start of Wimbledon, he added: "It should be personal preference. I'll have to wait and see. I'll have a chat with the guys. I don't want to be bowing and the person I'm playing with walk straight past or the other way around. You obviously need to have an agreement before you go on. I'll have to speak to the organisers about it."
He added: "It obviously would be a great honour to play in front of the Queen. I've never done that before so there would be a little bit of added pressure to play well."
Since he stormed to the final of the Australian Open at the start of the season, expectations of Murray's success at Wimbledon have been dampened by nine defeats in 20 matches.

Beckham plays down intruder clashDavid Beckham has played down an incident involving an intruder in England's dressing room after a 0-0 draw with Algeria in the World Cup David Beckham has played down an incident involving an intruder in England's dressing room after a 0-0 draw with Algeria in the World CupAn England fan sleeps during England's match against Algeria on a big screen by the waterfront in Cape Town, South AfricaFootball fans watch England vs Algeria at Alexandra Palace, London 19 June 2010 05:39pm David Beckham has played down his confrontation with an irate fan in England's changing room as supporters came to terms with the team's disappointing World Cup display against Algeria.
Beckham would not disclose what the intruder said but stressed it was not a comment on the team's performance that prompted boos from disgruntled fans after a goalless draw.
Meanwhile, there were further problems for the England camp with striker Wayne Rooney having to issue an apology today "for any offence caused" by his criticism of fans as they booed the team off the pitch at full-time.
Beckham said the dressing room incident had been "blown out of all proportion", although the Football Association (FA) made an official complaint about the incident and Fifa promised to tighten security.He spoke during an FA reception in Johannesburg attended by Princes William and Harry who were also at the game.
Beckham, who gave a joint interview with the royals, said about the incident: "Luckily it was after the princes had left - five to 10 minutes after. Obviously it's been blown out of all proportion as well.
"The actual fan literally just walked in very casually and just said something to me and then walked out - there was no scuffle, there was no aggression at all."
Asked what was said, Harry interjected, laughing: "A personal conversation," and Beckham agreed: "It was a very personal conversation."
The soccer star added: "He didn't comment on the performance, he literally walked in, said hello."
William and Harry were pictured holding their faces during last night's match, while an animated Beckham - who is a member of the team's backroom staff after injury ruled him out of contention for the squad - was seen leaping out of his dug-out seat at times.

Cup ban for dressing room rant fanA fan who walked into England's dressing room has been banned from future World Cup matches 20 June 2010 03:10pm The England fan who wandered into the team's dressing room to berate the players has been banned from attending future World Cup matches.
Pavlos Joseph, 32, from Crystal Palace, south-east London, was released on bail after appearing in court in Cape Town charged with trespassing.
Joseph told the Sunday Mirror he was looking for a toilet after the game against Algeria when a security guard sent him in the direction of the players' tunnel.
After taking a wrong turn, he found himself in the changing room where he says he told David Beckham: "David, we've spent a lot of money getting here. This is a disgrace. What are you going to do about it?"
England's poor performance on Friday saw the team draw 0-0 with Algeria at the city's Green Point Stadium.
Joseph was arrested at his hotel on Sunday morning.
South African Police Service spokeswoman Brigadier Sally de Beer said he was released on 500 rand bail and banned from future World Cup matches. He is due back in court on Monday to stand trial.
