Hope Verratti stays injury free
Hope Verratti does his back stretching to look like the world's tallest midget stood next to Joe Allen.

The British media are really hyping up Italy. And Robbie Earnshaw just did the same thing about Wales.

I've been supporting Wales these Euro's, although not sure how I'll feel when they make it further than England into the competition again.

Well, they're not going to say much about Wales, are they? Wales could win this 12-0 and the lead story on the paper back pages tomorrow would still be about Southgate buying a new waistcoat or something.

Read my second sentence.

If Wales won, the British media would explode in tsunami of their own cum.

Rooting for brave Wales but I'm afraid there is too much quality to deal with:(. Anyway, Wales should go through regardless, no?

Only Donnarumma, jorginho and Bonucci from the first eleven, that tells me that we are happy with a draw.
Still a good team, the question is if they are playing on 100% or 80%.
Don't think we will see much attacking if it's 1-1 with 20min left.
Smells like a 1-1 game.

Hoping Immobile comes on to score a brace. Nice to see Verratti back; every time i see him-which is admittedly not that often- i'm always really impressed.

Huh? I mean they would praise them as they would if Scotland won their last game, but you're going slightly overboard there :lol:

Apparently, Italy would take Bale and Ramsey. The Welsh media are so arrogant.
Completely ignore the evidence up in lights that shows the reverse and double down on your one-eyed hot take. Am I in the Messi vs. Ronaldo thread? :lol:

Didn't see the squads. Your lot are extremely strong. Play good football to boot.

ITV just spent a good couple of minutes talking about how inspiring and powerful the Wales national anthem is. They wouldn't do that for any other country.

Do you agree with what ITV said about Italy wanting to take Ramsey and Bale?

If it was national anthem contest, Wales would walk it hands down. Cant beat their anthem when in full voice

There's bollocks like that in any 'shared XI' thing that comes out, but yeah, they'd have Bale over Berardi who hasn't looked that hot.

You trying to pretend there's any media bias in the UK to any nation at all apart from the giant, blatant, obvious bias to England is hilarious, though.

Are you pretending there isn't a bias for Wales?

Italy with three Brazilian players in the starting 11. Bit weird.

Italy making 8 changes suggests they aren't that bothered about finishing top in this group. Could backfire as finishing top in this group has an easier route to the semi finals on paper.
