One of Italy’s best players in this tournament, big blow.

Oh well that settles it. Unimpeachable.
Being stretchered off in tears is a big dedication to time wasting
The 2006 WC team was class, they have quality everywhere but they were one of the teams in history to win the WC on pure defending ability. Nests, Canavarro, Matteratezzi and Buffon. They had quality in Totti, Del Piero etc but they were so good as a unit and defensively it was great to watch
If the commentator said it, it must be true, look at the man of a million facts Jermaine Jenas.
I’m not debating the injury. It’s that his team mate asked him to lie down.
That's cruel. Spinazola has been phenomenal the whole tournament.
So sad to see Spinnazola go down like that... One of the best players in this tournament
No player in right mind would do that, risking his team play with a man down!
should be close to 10min extra time.
have they even played football between the 70th and 80th minute?

Whatever the injury he could’ve gone off.
Anyone could see it! He already called for a sub and could have gone straight off but team mate had a word.
he was injured so what did you expect him to do?
He has done his ACL before and has suffered many injuries lately. I am afraid it could be serious again, judging by the reaction.
This place is so cynical, his teammate made him lie down and wait for the stretcher so he didn't do further damage. Common sense.
Big blow for Italy. He is in the form of his live and an absolute menace on the left flank for them.
They wouldn’t. He called for a sub. Could have come straight on.
Pretty sure England have been getting mocked for the failure of that Gerrard - Lampard generation due to how poor coaching fecked them up.
Ultimately if Belgium got KOed today, that means this golden generation failed to challenge for any huge tournament bar one, 2018 WC. For such amount of players you would expect them to reach a final or get closer to winning an actual huge trophy or something, you know, like how this France generation reached a Euro final and won World Cup.
His teammate said to lie down and feign death. It were clear as day!

RAWK level conspiracy theories.
Had no idea Emerson was in the squad. Assume not many options for Italy as he rarely played for Chelsea (or he was out on loan?).
The defending
Only 35 min halves and stop clock.
Sad to see any injury. Glad they didn't replay that over & over. Looked to be an ACL since he was stretchered off.
He was literally near the touch line.
Italy have been better, all over the park.
Quite comfortably
Damn, great run that.
Don't forget Gatusso as DM too
Read my post further below.
Emerson is underrated. 10 minutes ish of stoppage time incoming ?
Doku is quality, he'll become a big player
Doku has some talent.
This Doku guy is a huge talent in the making. Some more polishing and he'll be a great player.
Doku is exciting.
Anyone could see it.
He told his team mate he’s done his ACL teammates says lie down your fecked
Doku made a reverse side Robben move.
damn he's quick
This is the one and only rule football has to implement. Would solve so much.
Yeah he is. Wonder what it would be like seeing him in the same XI as Adama Traore.
