Spain v Italy - Thu 20th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group D

[SebastianBlue]

Pretty much the same team. Phillips, Maguire and rashford started otherwise the rest played today.

If we put in this performance v Spain we’d never hear the end of it. They haven’t even had a chance ffs

If we put in the performance we did against Denmark this would have finished Spain 4 - 0 England.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Are we talking about in this tournament only.
Otherwise I’d like to nominate Ireland.

Euro only.

I would never take that title away from you in general debate.

I think you've done your dough there man

Yep, tenner down lol.

 

[bluemoon32]

False.

Literally no one is worse than England.

Ok but Italy are still utter dogshit

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Could they beat anyone in this tournament?

Sure.

Are they currently the worst team in the tournament from a performance and watchability perspective?

Definitely yes.

so do you think teams can actually win a trophy, based on a watchability?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Ok but Italy are still utter dogshit

Agreed.

 

[Chak19]

The most dominant 1-0 that I can remember, but if you're Spain you would be worried about the poor finishing because that's been their achilles heel the past decade, I would surprised if Italy will go far this time.

Would have been 0-0.

Spain would have dominated but what will be their undoing is they lack ruthless finishing up front. Technically they are the best team but a clinical side will make them pay for missed chances.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Well, right now England don’t look likely to win anything (again) and are nearly unwatchable (unless you are in to sadomasochism), so I would say it probably improves a team’s chances.

But what do I know?

Germany would be worse. England got a little bit lucky in the last Euros against them.
