Italy v Austria - 26 June - 20:00 - Wembley

[Koke]

I wrongly underestimated Austria before the tournament started. Decent team who play tidy stuff but Italy will have too much for them.

Just seen tickets are available for this on Saturday. Tempted to go just for the fact I've never been to a tournament match before.

Are they allowed 45k now for the knockout stages?

This tournament has showed about what you’d expect to see from cautious managers and players who haven’t rested in forever … in a groups round where the only teams to be eliminated, mostly shouldn’t have been there anyway.

 

Blah, cautious, energy-conserving football.  Except from Italy, who have been such a pleasure to watch!  Seeing them live, with a house half full of their fans, seems like a worthwhile ticket.

On the whole I don’t think there were any shocks in the group stages really…

 

Exactly, if the tournament was still only 16 teams only, you would expect these are the best 16 that are left, and would be the ones there. Germany almost going out and Spain not topping the group is about as exciting as it got

Austria can make a surprise to Italy.

[Guest Col city fan]

Loving that Italian midfield three. Real quality in there 

[Flamey]

First Dunnarunna ....now Donnarumma

[tom27111]

Looking forward to this.

 

Love watching Marco Veratti play, a truly exceptional footballer.

 

Disappointed he's missed the last few tournaments through injury or Italy not qualifying.

And I've lumped my 46 quid winnings from Denmark on Italy

[Gazi Giray]

Just an absolute joy to watch. He missed at least 1 game this tournament because he wasn't fully fit, but the first game he started, there was a beautiful cameo where he did some outrageous skill, beat a couple of players and picked a great pass.

 

What do you think his best position is? Lying deep, or box to box?

 

The likes of Veratti, Kante and Messi just prove you can be small and still control games.

[tom27111]

This Italian anthem is a banger!

 

Even gets me pumped up!

 

Why oh why don't we have Land of Hope and Glory?

Let me know what you think at half time 

 

More of a mini Pirlo than a Del Pierro

[Gazi Giray]

Azurri s national anthem has wonderful musicality . It is very nice to listen to . 

Lal la laaaaaa.. Lal lal la laaa  Dad da ra rat ta ra raaa rat , Dad da ra rat ta ra raaa rat...

 

Del PİERO OLE..

[Fox92]

Only the English ref books a player a minute in.

[StanSP]

Anyone else's screen just go black for a few seconds? 

[Vacamion]

 

Was that me blinking or the coverage?

 

 

[Jaspa]

Yup, 3 blinks

[tom27111]

Looks like Arsenal v Chelsea, especially at Wembley
