ljkeane Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 That looks like Spinazzola’s tournament is done. That’s a real shame, he’s been fantastic. ETA: Looks like he’s realising that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Losing a legionaire is tough. The best fighters seem to always be targeted with bad luck. But we have the personell to keep soldiering on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Italy are so comfortable keeping the ball in all situations that Belgium are going to really have to start taking chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 1 minute ago, Bale's Bald Spot said: The problem Belgium have here is that Italy are having enough possession that they can rest for a bit between attacks and presses. Belgium have not been able to do what Austria did in the 2nd half i.e. up their pressing intensity and playing a more physical game which resulted in Italy getting overrun in midfield.

Witsel’s been trying but the referee wasn’t in favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Terrible for Spinazzola those tears a lot more justified than Vargas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 If you're going to grab Belgian players to foul them, there's always a chance you'll catch a flailing arm as they try to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I’d prefer Italy to win but how’s that a foul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Mostly since it involves the keeper. Which is to say not at all. I did mention we didn't buy the ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 And now Donnarumma is pretending to be hurt after colliding with his own player. Italy are the fucking worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Are we really getting a ‘think of the children’ speech over Donnarumma’s little bit of gamesmanship? eta - aimed at Keown, not Bale’s Bald Spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Goalkeepers are the most protected players on the pitch. That wasn't a foul for any other player but for a keeper the ref is always blowing the whistle there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Belgium put in a better performance in the 2nd half but Italy were the better side overall. Italy vs Spain. Hopefully a good game between the two sides with the best managers at the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Actually best game of the tournament. Would have preferred a further twist, especially when Italy started rolling around on the ground, but generally deserved win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
