Italy rightly one of the favourites for me but also, pretty easy to defend against at the minute. With 2 right footers down the left hand side Turkey keep encouraging it out to Spinazzola & 90% of the time he has to turn back.
Italy should find a way though, plenty of magic in Insigne, Barella etc. Addition of Chiesa could cause Turkey problems.

Who is she ? Legs longer than my life expectancy

 

[wingy]

Call that a circle.
Bloke who does the white lines been on the vino.

 

[Evo1883]

That is an extraordinarily schoolboy corner by Italy

 

[Paul Anthony]

Brilliant corner kick routine.

Brilliant corner kick routine.

Why was it offside?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Why was it offside?

Have to admit, watching it back I'm not sure.

 

[Evo1883]

Why was it offside?

Because when he passed it and stopped the ball the player that was at the corner flag and offside moved towards and touched the ball

 

[Skybluefaz]

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

• a goal kick
• a throw-in
• a corner kick

 

[Paul Anthony]

Own goal

 

[Evo1883]

Good , now we might have a match

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Catalogue of misfortune

 

[LastGarrison]

Should have shot himself really.

Got lucky in the end but at least the game might open up now.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Decent header

 

[Evo1883]

Turkeys back line now

 

[Philosoraptor]

No, hit his elbow.

Would have been a bit of an extreme that mate.

Can't be offside from a corner. I still think the linesman got it wrong.

Yea fuck me I've totally misinterpreted that .

Can't understand it myself then

 

[Evo1883]

Is it because he's off the pitch and come back into play ? Otherwise I've no clue

 

[LastGarrison]

Eh?

 

[Evo1883]

Eh?

To shoot himself

 

[Sick Boy]

Reckon 3-0 Italy

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yeah that’s what I thought, once he leaves the pitch he can’t come back on until the ball is out of play

 

[Evo1883]

This is what happens to teams that try and shithouse results , they've had no flow all game and struggle to get any momentum when they go behind .

It's why man city wank all over lower half prem teams that sit 10 men behind the ball rather than have a go

 

[Frostie]

Yea fuck me I've totally misinterpreted that .

It's an illegal corner because Berardi is off the pitch but pretty certain that's not what the linesman flagged for (different gestures for offside & other infringements) he has (wrongly) given it offside.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Is it because he's off the pitch and come back into play ? Otherwise I've no clue

I thought it could be that.

But, thinking about it, If it was that, though, why not put his flag up immediately?

I don’t know. I'm confused.

 

[Evo1883]

Italy are a damn decent side .. Will give any team a game at this tournament

He done fucked up.

France on paper are excellent so can certainly see why they're favourites, Italy have a much more favourable run to the final though.

 

[Evo1883]

They look good

 

[Paul Anthony]

2-0, game over.

 

[wingy]

Get in.
No10 looks useful.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Get in.
No10 looks useful.

Worth a punt?
