I'd put this on the players more than the manager, honestly. He's looked very unhappy at how the players have played. I think when Turkey experienced the Italian press early on, they never looked comfortable.
Day 1: Turkey vs Italy
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I don't think I've seen the Italians make one bad pass. Amazing.
How's Locatelli been?
Really weird!
Turkey gave up since the kickoff
Yep, Mancini is doing a great job with the material he's got, distinctly dull apart from midfield
5 subs for this tournament
Decent. Him and Jorginho have been pretty effortlessly running it in midfield.
Probably the best manager in the tournament, when you think about it. Rest are just not good enough for top domestic teams/old
Wow, how did I miss that?
I think that dude's grabbing his belly out of nervousness. There's no way he's doing it in jest. His face screams tension.
yeah, but the level of internatiinal football is waaaay below CL level… no City, no Bayern, no Chelsea making you mad on every given ball
Jorginho is quality
This Berardi fellow.....motm today. Easy
Yes, Kenan Karaman finally comes off!
This just seems such an un-Italian Italy side.
Turkey have barely made a tackle, they've as many fouls as Italy with a fraction of the ball (and let's be honest a lot of the fouls they've commited were soft Italian dives)
Italy have been good but this is about as easy as it gets, all the time and space in the world to knock it around
Disappointed with turkey but perhaps not unexpected for such a young side

Need to see him against a good team
So it's between Turkey and Wales for third place. Disappointed with the Turks.
3-0
3 0
Insigne scores now.
Wales will be licking their lips watching this Turkey team. I expect them to beat them fairly comfortably if they play like this.
So relaxed i'm not even celebrating anymore
Pointless to play the rest of these euros, just hand us the trophy tonight

Turkey already look a strong contender for flop of the tournament. Starting out disappointingly and the falling apart..
So disappointed by the Turks. I was expecting more
Like City in the CL final?
Turkey been dreadful
The Italian commentators are going a bit bonkers, it's great.
3-0
Affraid of being found out?
Looks like the turkeys, voted for Christmas 
Get in! Turkey have been shite all night
Sky or Rai?
First time Italy score more than 2 in the Euros
Getting bummed are Turkey
Impressive showing from Italy. Have them getting to the semis but that midfield with Verratti in there will be so hard to deal with.
