Love this formation Austria are trying out
8-2-0 , to be fair they simply can't play expansive they will get twatted

Austria doing ok. Never going to match the skill and flair of the Italians but they are sticking to their task. The Italians might start to push too hard and panic if they are not leading with 20 to go.
Italy lovely to watch…great energy and some wonderful balls through the defence. And when Austria do counter the Italians get players back v quickly

Since my last post they've been more adventurous

A ridiculous amount of time to give an offside

Italy continue the phase of play, no flag, Austria win the ball back and start to play out, that's offside that is lads.

Bachmann just turned around a drive.

Sorry to bugger the continuity, but I have to say, the BBC could not have been further up the backsides of that Welsh team who, and this is being relatively kind, were absolutely gutless this evening. It was all: "Ooh, they've battled, ooh they've done the nation proud..." and a myriad of further toadying plaintiffs.
They were garbage, and clueless, and I'm prepared to single out Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey who were both absent for 3/4 of Wales' tournament. There are a lot of younger players in that team, and they were not lead adequately.

Ramsey played like he genuinely forgot how to kick a ball properly, at times - it was grimly fascinating.

Incidentally, it's nice to see Austria giving it plenty. I think they'll either get edged out narrowly, or maybe even extra time if they can keep this up.

 

[Evo1883]

Good half from Austria really defensively .
They've worked hard
Can they keep it up for 90

a massive stretch to make that work but I gave you a laughing emoji for the audacity

 

[lifeskyblue]

Enjoyable half…the flair and skill of Italy and the dogged determination of Austria.

I'll take that, clint. But there's another 45 (at least) to come - You ain't seen nothing yet.

What are Austria trying to achieve here- penalties?

Italy look good alright but nothing special, they’ve got more gears to go through yet. Dunno if they’re being cautious or what but if they turn it in they’ll overrun Austria

If Austria get anything out of this, I’ll get ‘Evo’ tattooed on my shaft.

It needs to be a short word.

One for the pop-pickers mate! Bet you do a lot for charidee don't you (but obviously don't like to talk about it)

 

[Evo1883]

Good chance here for Austria

 

[wingy]

Think they're quite physical.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Italy looking a little bit like the plan isn't working, Austria defending well and starting to break.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Pitch seems a bit sticky - the ball doesn't seem to travel well over the grass. If it stays like that it might make the England game a bit slower?

 

[Evo1883]

Italy gone 442 ?

 

[Evo1883]

Wow, they've deserved it for how hard they've worked

 

[Johnnythespider]

Can't say that hasn't been coming to be fair

 

[Sick Boy]

Just hard some glass smashing at a local ultras’ bar.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Off ?

 

[lifeskyblue]

Well well well…but is it offside

[Ian1779]

Is that offside? Looks close

 

[COV]

Wow!!

Not wishing to be controversial but does this not put a bit of perspective on our games so far?

 

[Evo1883]

Might be JUST in line

 

[cc84cov]

Oh dear where are all the Italy wanking fans now

[no_loyalty]

[clint van damme]

[Evo1883]
