Extra time

 

[Deleted member 9744]

To be fair, all teams underperform occasionally.
Italy have looked worse tonight than previous , but fair play Austria have stifled them

If this was England most would be lambasting Southgate on here

 

[Tommo1993]

Bring back golden goal

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Won't help either side in the next round re: legginess (unless their opponents have been through the same)

Get to bed

Can't it's Extra time , wish I could.

We played below par 3 games in a row to be fair .

That’s not relevant to what he said, which is true- if this was us then everyone would be going absolutely nuts at Southgate

Not as good as perhaps people thought, Austria have been aggressive and positive. You could see someone rapid like Mbappe scaring the life out of those centre backs.

despite what you are thinking Italy have had nearly double Austrias shots and that's them playing below par .

Id be annoyed about our lack of sharpness in front of goal and being wasteful , I'd actually be blaming the players more than Southgate tonight

Did I hear commentator right…Austria never been in penalty shoot out?

Would have thought it is quite rare for them to get to the knock out stage

 

[lifeskyblue]

Great goal…but where was the left back?

Finish

 

[clint van damme]

Class

 

[Sick Boy]

Oh dear where are all the Italy wanking fans now

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Tidy goal from Chiesa.

 

[Evo1883]

The one thing mancini got wrong was not starting chiesa

A nothing tackle

 

[oscillatewildly]

As close range finishes go, that was pretty neat.

He got pulled into the middle,poor defending though not entirely down to him

 

[Sick Boy]

Keeper had no chance

 

[Evo1883]

If history is anything to go by ..this games over at 1-0

 

[Tommo1993]

Once Chiesa got the ball on the bounce, that would’ve been a very difficult challenge to make for the defender.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Do the Italians you know fancy them to win it? Then again do Italians always have high expectations anyway?

 

[Evo1883]

Fair play though Austria have been resiliant and gave a good account of themselves ..they did against England tbh , just lacking a bit of quality in certain areas

 

[oscillatewildly]

Yep - they could have done with a third man.

Well that’s fair enough

 

[Evo1883]

Well that’s fair enough

It's also only fair to give Austria their praise on what's been a resiliant performance

 

[Evo1883]

Nice save , nice free kick

 

[no_loyalty]

All over.

 

[lifeskyblue]

That’s game over. Well taken again

There hasn’t been much pressure after the years of transition, not qualifying for the last WC seemed like a major scandal.
This time there’s been no pressure whatsoever, which I think has helped.
I’d say overall football is taken more seriously here compared to England.

 

[Evo1883]

You can see though how important it was that Austria didn't concede early , they would have been beaten soundly

 

[mark82]

Good finish that.
