Internationals October (World Cup Qualifiers + Nations League Finals)

[Samid]

Donnarumma is rattled

 

[Wayne's World]

That defending is outrageous from Bonucci!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Donnarumma is rattled

He might be Italy's European Championship winning goalie, but surely he realised he wouldn't get a cosy welcome in Milan.

 

[One Night Only]

Donnarumma is rattled

It's because he is a shit man.

 

[Hisha]

Terrific match so far.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Why not play advantage?

 

[United in sin]

Lovely game of football on display in this nations cup game. Both teams are moving the ball so we'll, Spain in particular

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What a miss from Insigne.

 

[Withnail]

Uh oh

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Ref saying an elbow then. Italy could be down to ten men. They are. Bonucci off.

 

[One Night Only]

Ah sweet, game over.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Bonucci looks like he has gone to sulk in the corner.

 

[Wayne's World]

That's the game ruined but I think Bonucci can have no complaints really

 

[massi83]

Ref making it all about himself. Shame, was better than anything in PL.

 

[Beachryan]

Probably fair imo. But it's on Busquets, who everyone should be allowed to elbow for all the times he's cheated.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

He had a look and had his elbow up, I know it was Busquet and it's tempting, but.

 

[One Night Only]

Probably fair imo. But it's on Busquets, who everyone should be allowed to elbow for all the times he's cheated.

Yeah, he will forever be a thundercubt and every player should get at least one free kick or elbow at him per game.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Spain with another. 2-0. Torres is on fire for Spain.

 

[Wolf1992]

Do italians even care about this match?

They are playing at home, but i mean they already won the Euro this year in Wembley.
I suppose the UEFA Nations League doesn't mean much for them.

 

[Hisha]

A very good game ruined by the referee.

 

[Withnail]

Lovely Spanish goal. 2 nil

 

[Sylar]

Italy are done

So England just needed Italy to have had a player sent off at 1-0.

 

[GifLord]

Italy crumbling

 

[Wayne's World]

Spain are going to right up there as one of the favourites to win the WC next year. Look like a improving every game under Luis Enrique

 

[AaronRedDevil]

That was a lovely bit of football.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Two players swapping shirts at half time. Naughty.

 

[Cloud7]

I really like Enrique's Spain

Young side as well.

I don't think they are happy losing at home against Spain in the Nations Cup... a 2nd rate championship but still an official competition.
Besides they are unbeaten for over 30 games... I guess they want to keep the record.

I honestly didn't expect Spain playing so well... amazing goals.
Still 45 minutes to go... never trust this Spain...

I wish we were this clinical in the Euro's...

A very good game ruined by Bonucci.

Fixed

Italy are done

So England just needed Italy to have had a player sent off at 1-0.

England needed to play some football instead of sitting back like a random relegation team.

 

[Samid]

How did England lose to this team?

 

[VanDeBank]

Fred on the bench?

 

[Withnail]

19 years since Italy last lost at home.

 

[Withnail]

How'd Jorginho get away with no yellow there?

 

[NoPace]

How did England lose to this team?

Spain has controlled the ball and the game. England didn't do that or press this well.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Spain has controlled the ball and the game. England didn't do that or press this well.

It's the fact the players are all from different clubs, he only gets to work with them now and again, yet he gets them playing. The fact they might play different systems with their own teams.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Like this Spain team, they like having the ball, but get forward with it, not just pass it around for the sake of it.

 

[Withnail]

Refs lost his cards now

 

[NoPace]

It's the fact the players are all from different clubs, he only gets to work with them now and again, yet he gets them playing. The fact they might play different systems with their own teams.

I mean it's Spain, it's a whole team of Mason Mounts who can actually link play as well.

England will never be Spain, their goal has to be becoming Germany or France.

You're right.

 

[One Night Only]

Referee is feckin weird. Not a clue how that is the first yellow of this second half.

He must be using RNG to make his decisions.
