Belgium fans singing 'Don't take me home' Lol

Don't they have songs in French/Dutch

I wonder if you're more/less likely to be a fan depending on wether you're Flemish or Wallonian

The Italian staying down in hope of a VAR penalty review, then Chiesa scores so he gets up!

 

[Evo1883]

Telling you ..these are a different Italy to what we all know

Not only good at the back , but move the ball so quick and close down so fast .

I like watching them

straight back up wasn’t he!?

 

[Sick Boy]

What a goal

 

[Liquid Gold]

Maybe this Italy team will make everybody take notice that you don't have to play fucking boring football to do well at international tournaments.

Finish

I read that in partridge's voice

Chiellini looks like the local simpleton who pushes his bike aimlessly around the village (not that I am stereotyping )

Impossible not to like him though. That smile should brighten anyone's day.

I'm saying nothing, I know what I prefer watching .

Made me chuckle. As soon as he heard the cheer.

Top defender even now at 108

Swap him with the guy who always walks up Trinity St asking everyone for 20p for the bus.

Feel England would find it harder to play Italy than Belgium

 

[Evo1883]

Thing is even if Italy lose tonight , they have a bright future , they've used 2 teams in this tournament and looked good with both

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Italy looking very good. You'd still expect De Bruyne / Lukaku to conjure p one goal. Might not be enough though!

Immobile showing Harry Kane how a number 9 should lead the line

Fecking cheats. I knew there was a reason they were doing so well.

They definitely don't look like a team that has gone through years of transition.

To be fair , Italy get the ball forward much quicker and play off him constantly.

Yeah cus he’s actually there when Kane never is for us

 

[Liquid Gold]

Kane should be doing what Lukaku does not Immobile

 

[Evo1883]

Italy also play completely different to England full stop.

 

[Philosoraptor]

It's not just about Italy's passing. They are a very spatially aware team. They use the gaps between the opponents so well. They instantly know where to pass and where to collect the ball.

Reminds me of the time I worked in the City centre. This bloke stopped me and said he was a coach driver and his coach had broken down and needed some money to get a spare part. Got really arsey when I offered to let him use a phone in my office to ring his coach firm to sort out the arrangements./payment, The moral of the story is 'never pretend to be a coach driver when you've had so much to drink you can't construct a sentence'

 

[Evo1883]

England play more like Belgium than Italy

 

[COV]

Whoever had us favourites above Italy needs their head reading

They are the best team in the tournament

We will shithouse a 1 nil win

You’re half right

They play the “English style” that we think we can play but never do.

They’re direct but not long, fast, tenacious and press all the time- they play a premier league style almost

They play the style that I'm always moaning about us not playing

 

[mark82]

Wow. Great goal.

 

[Tommo1993]

FINISH! I love this Italy team.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Beautiful goal

Mamma Mia
