THey need to do what they do in rugby- take the timekeeping away from the ref and have someone in the stand stopping the clock when play stops & take care of the whistle.

Teams would soon stop this if they knew that every single second was gonna be added on at the end

That's probably one of the most impressive international performances I've seen for several years when you consider the opposition.
Bossed the game for the best part of an hour , aggressive , high tempo and to top it off a big dose of gamesmanship to see off the Belgians.
The stats show Italy have made these look a level below them

Very impressive

Rubbish. Belgium missed about 3 good chances they should have scored.

The rolling about time wasting is another reason I'd rather not have to play them. Good sneaky side. Very dangerous

Pity it didn't go to extra time. Best game of the tournament until the Italian time wasting at the end

They were always going to have a couple of chances .

They were outplayed in large parts , outworked , out passed, outthought

Couldn't deal with their press for 70 , couldn't keep up with the pace of the passing , the movement .

Very impressive

To be honest the guy who jumped up fine when they scored the first should have been booked for feigning injury

There isn't a team on the planet better at shutting a game down, breaking the rhythm, getting over the line.

They see it as being smart- 'game management', we see it as cheating. I don't like it but I would be happy for us to do it if it means winning the thing

Doesn’t surprise me you don’t have a clue. You thought it was a soft penalty
