mormont Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 It’s a semi final and they’re rarely classics of free flowing football, but I’m excited just the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Italy were in control at the start but Spain have come into the game now and are controlling the possession without really troubling the Italian backline. Spain's defence looks a bit vulnerable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Spain have just got control of the midfield right now. Italy are having to bypass it and all their moves break down quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 But it does feel like the Spanish defence have a mistake in them. Italy have been forced into playing long balls but Simon's decision-making does not inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacuna Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Not sure how Spain are gonna score though. (And the countdown to proving me wrong begins...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Spain need a touch more quality in attack, it’s true. Italy need to get a grip of midfield, like I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Feel like Italy are more likely to score, despite not having a shot. Weird. Italy playing so deep, which I think makes a lot of sense given their backline. But Spain don’t seem to have a way to get through it. Not a great spectacle , I miss the attacking Italian side we were all talking about before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Feels like Italy have got more scope to change things off the bench too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
