Just a fatter version of LVG, the major differences are that he inherited much better players, and that he's not flashing his bollocks in the dressing room.

Who?
More than LVG did in his two seasons here
why not?
What did Conte do?
Can't see Germany losing against Italy. Germany have to be the favourites now for me.
Italy look tired, but I think both teams are spaint
I am very sorry
I am very sorry
Operation Puerto.
Yep. One of the last classy men left in the game. A dying breed.
Pelle looks shattered
Possibly because they won't put it on TV or some other joke?
Pedro conversion.
Losing against Italy is what we do, it's our thing.
I'd say they're more like total opposites, LVG has some tactical prowess but is awful at managing top level egos, Del Bosque is clueless tactically but the players always like him
He has worked his socks off, mad so many runs back deep into his own half to help defend and then had to sprint forward on the counter. He will be knackered.
Pasta>Paella
Fabregas is crap.
I assume top managers and players will be more reluctant to come here, its going to be harder to sign them anyway and the middling clubs like Leicester Southampton wont be able to sign players like Mahrez Kante etc, once this era is over the quality will decrease. Pound being weaker to means wages wont be enough to tempt either.

Irony when Spanish players and fans are pleading that the Italians dived.
The games after Saturday have all been good to watch.
Spain supporters in the stands moaning over Italian players diving...oh, the irony.
Cesc is a nothing player these days. I don't see any stand out qualities that he has.
Motta, as ever the cnut.
Buffon 
Phew Buffon
Massive chance for Pique
Buffon is fabulous.
Buffon the legend!
Buffon
Ironing.
Crucial save from Buffon, what a player he's been.
Shakira misses a sitter. Great save Buffon.
Buffon wow
Should have been a red.
Buffon is a compete legend
Buffon you absolute beauty
Italy are amazing at what they do. Such amazing defenders.
What a save as I write this
