It's crazy that Donnarumma is only 22, he's an excellent 'keeper.

Going to have a great career. Feels like he's been around forever already.

Any rumours where he's off to?

PSG

First goal was very O’Hare to Godden to goal.

After this tournament, I vow to eat more pasta in their honour.

I'm having more beer, chips and chocolate in honour of the Belgians!

 

[Frostie]

ITS NOT SOFT !!!!!

Haha. I don't mind it being given, no real attempt at playing the ball, but a lot of refs wouldn't & Doku makes the most of it.

 

[Evo1883]

Micah Richards , Shearer...clueless twats ..ITS NOT SOFT !!

PSG

Waste going there

They did spot the sneaky Italian feigning injury, still hoping for a VAR penalty, then getting up when he realised they'd scored

No but I've heard a rumour about his justeat order

I think the defenders been done for pace and uses his forearm to shove him over, when seen side on it's a definite penalty for me, some refs wouldn't give it but they should

I'm not sure that our side of the draw does us any favours watching this

If we got to the final then we'd have played Germany- who actually weren't that good, Ukraine & Czech/ Denmark. Not easy but not scary hard matches.

If Italy got through then they'll have had massively competitive matches against Belgium & Spain- they'll have seen it all.

Bit like fighting 2 journeymen then taking on a fully prepared & in form Tyson Fury

I go down easy.

Sorry, I'm not in to pink & spotty.

Seems to have been around a while too.

If you're writing Germany off as not that good, you can do the same to Spain too.

 

[mark82]

PSG

Such a waste.

24 hours from now we'll be...

(1) reflecting on a humdinger of a first half and watching replays of our two goals
(2) nervous as hell with it 0-0 and us struggling to break down a stubborn Ukraine & demanding Grealish comes on to avoid penalties
(3) wondering if we're gonna blow it with Ukraine 1-0 up after a terrible defensive mixup

I think (2)

hard to call- I just think that was the weakest Germany side we've played in a loooong time

All the teams in group F had massively competitive games in the group stages. Where are those teams?

None of them are anywhere near as good as Italy on this performance

Really? France are a top team.

Big difference for England over the likes of Belgium is strength in depth. Anyone think Nacer Chadli would get anywhere near our squad?

 

[Evo1883]

Italy had 8 players within 25 yards of the goal then

Yeah, I'd rather play Belgium than Italy.

This is the perfect example of a "next goal" game

People making a lot of the lack of quality in Germany's squad too. It's got world cup winners, champions league winners.

Every team has off days

Not even his club know.

He's donearunner.

Not in this tournament they weren't

Not in this tournament they weren't

They got cocky v the Swiss, but they're a brilliant team.

What about Spain? Same result against Switzerland.

It's like one of the top 4 losing in the cup to a lesser team. One bad result doesn't mean they're not a top side.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

That Doku is rapid

Playing quality so regularly will exhaust you. We should be more rested going up against whoever we're scheduled to beat in the final.
