Belgium vs Italy - Euro 2016 - 13/06/16

[Akira]

His decision to play Fellaini forced KdB out to the wing and we all know KdB ain't as good on the wing. And we all know Fellaini is shite.

I thought Orighi was shite when he came on. Was surprised that the pundits thought he was played well but presumably that was compared to Lukaku who was completely useless.

 

[Burtonblue]

Wilmot is a loser
Blaming Italy for not playing real football
What a wanker!

 

[Metalartin]

Italians almost always get their tactics right we've seen how much that can do for a team with Leicester... anybody worried how well Conte is going to do with Chelsea's team? We need to send some of our young English coaches over there by the looks of it.

It works but it is fucking soul sapping stuff when Italians get an early goal. Unless defensive excellence is your god it can become a real chore to watch.

But those tactics usually rely upon strangling the life out of the game. If last night was anything to go by, and that's what Conte is all about, then the Chavs are welcome to him. He's just 'Maureen 2 - The Revenge'.

Perfect from Italy. They're such a bastard of a team that you can't help but love them.

I fucking hate them. Always have done. Very efficient, but utterly joyless football, as far as I'm concerned. Love the fact that Brazil stuffed them in 1970. Doesn't happen often, though. They'll probably win this tournament.
Kev had a quiet night, but did one or two classy things. It's not his fault that Lukaku has been playing like a donkey for about the last three months, and has decided to carry on in the Euros.
Anybody get the impression that Belgium are direly missing a certain person that we also have been direly missing?


One thing about the Italians I will concede though. Buffon just exudes calm and control — you can see the effect it has on his entire team. Certainly one of the great keepers of my lifetime.

Yep.

They looked leaderless.

Loved it!

 

[Terra Passenger]

Let's see... Kompany injured. Need a strong leader... Let's give the armband to Hazard.

Ridiculous!

Belgium is lead by idiots.
