Rorshach Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think that before everything starts, it's important to acknowledge the perfection of the scheduling here. First match? Italy wins Last match? Italy wins. Making sure our success bookends the tournament ensures its entertainment value and the overall aestethics of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Italy will be lucky to make it out of the group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Ah, ye of little faith! We win based on our magnificent performance! (In the back room, putting pressure on the ref.) (I totally didn't say that!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The Italy coaching team look very swish in their suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Barella continuing his great club form and is bossing the midfield. Deserved goal for Italy. Turkey decided to unpark the bus in the 2nd half and spaces have opened up for Italy to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfell is Burning Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Italy looks very good, true, but Turkey looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Italy looked great, genuinely looking better and better as it went on and not slowing down throughout the game. Turkey we’re poor, but difficult to say how bad when they were so outplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunland Lord Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Didn't see Turkey put in a single attack the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 It is a sad fact of life that to have a magnificent win, you also need a loser. Turkey, of course, could not help but play second fiddle to the wonderful team of Italy. The cool grace of Leonardo Bonucci, the control of Jorginho, the perfect hair-and-beard combo of Lorenzo Insigne - Turkey could not help but to be burned by playing so close to the sun! Mind you, something always needs to burn in Rome. Better it is Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well that score line flattered Wales. Theirs was a better goal though. Shame Gavranović can’t seem to stay onside because he looked handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Not an ideal start, but points on the board. We need to give Turkey a good stuffing on Wednesday now. Badum-tish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
