- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Arsenaut even shushed the stands 
Yes obviously. In this case it's great use of var of course, I just like upsets.
As soon as i typed it....hahaha i was thinking more of the smaller countries
Verratti so overrated.
They need to get back to playing and not rolling on the floor appealing for everything.
overratied
Hang on I thought Italy was now the bestest team ever? Whats happening?!
Which smaller countries has a good league?
Italy have to be perfect to win. France can play at 80% and win. That’s the difference.
Sabitzer needs to stop shooting so.early when there is a break.on. Second time he's done that in this half.
5 minutes to check a 2 yard offside? Typical English VAR...
Enough with the play acting already, christ
True. What upsets me is that the Italians are a shadow of the team that won the previous few games
Pressure getting to us. Massively so. Weird
Jimmy Hill in the Italy dugout?
Get Berardi off
Yep. This so very much
I can see this game going into extra-time
That was sublime turn.
I'm pleasantly surprised with this Euros quality overall.
The gap between the teams that are supposed to be the favourites (or the stronger teams) and the "weaker" teams isn't as big this year.

How is Berardi still on?
All the pundits before the game were banging on about how Italy would walk this, it could be 3 or 4 nil etc etc.
Just goes to show that knockout phase clichet is true. There are no easy games past the group stages. Well unless you play Wales I suppose.
The alternatives aren’t great hah
Man...can't have Italy being knocked out so early. They are the only team in that half of the draw who can realistically beat France.
Austria wobbling a bit now. Been a good game this
That's the difference between having stars and not
Chiesa?
With chiesa on the bench as well
Feels like this is going to pens now
Portugal has a competitive league. Good NT
Austria now has a competitive league. Good NT
You get a pool of players you didn't usually get. For example Croatia. We rarely had players from our league in the NT, now we do. Because, our league became more competitive.
And Germany in the final
Not playing like this they can’t.
Austria are a lot better defensively than the likes of Turkey. They might have run themselves out in the group games.
Just a shame we’ve got Benny in England’s.
Chiesa or Bernardeschi are worth trying. Their attack needs an injection of pace.
That’s a pen.
tbf this is the one thing Italy didn’t face in the group, a team that can actually defend.

Chiesa is much better and has also been in this tournament
Can't be penalty that
