Don’t know how Santos has managed this terrible manager, feel a bit for Turkey.

That was an outstanding first touch for that goal.

We are awful today. Worst I seen us play at home for a long time. My brother said our midfield made Mctominay and Fred look like world class.

Isak, Kulusevski and Forsberg all really bad and we need them, but I would sub Isak. He is not scoring with his form.

Bring on Elanga now.

No team in particular.
Massive failure for Italy, this is all on the players, not on Mancini.

Jorginho missed penalty against Switzerland and Immobile missed sitters hurting them.

Unbelievable

Just need Macedonia to take care of Portugal also and we have a shot at getting top seed for the group stage draw

Jorginho missed two penalties against Switzerland (one in each game). Had he scored one, Italy would have qualified. He is lucky his miss in the Euro final was not decisive. Otherwise that would have been an even more catastrophic series of penalties.

Wow what a finish to the matches, Italy. :lol: :nervous: Even the ball boys heads at the end had completely gone.

Have to credit Macedonia, think Portugal will be a step too far but amazing achievement for them to be one match away from WC. Should get Pandev out of retirement for one more game.

Shame Turkey couldn't score the penalty as Portugal were really flagging there, why didn't Chanaloglu take it as he's a set piece specialist.

I prefer this format to two legged matches as it's all on the night compared to defensive first legs from both teams sometimes. Rare good format change here by Uefa/Fifa.

Madrid need to get their medical staff to work on him so he is ready for June, it is the least they can do after all he has done for them
Clarke was saying yesterday he thinks Scotland-Ukraine might not happen until September.

Is it true people asked Jorginho to be Ballon D'Or?
