Belgium v Italy - 2nd July - 8pm - Munich

[Finnegan]

I know I've whinged most games they've played in the tournament but Belgium really are poor for the talent in the side.

 

So fvcking passive and negative. I'd hate to have to support a Martinez side. 

[whoareyaaa]

Italy are class until they start diving about

[StriderHiryu]

Tielemans vs Veratti is fascinating to watch! Veratti is maybe the only player in Youri’s position in world football that is better than him.

How is Chiellini the same age as me. I must've caught him up. 

 

I was chuckling away when they mentioned his age, I soon stopped when the Mrs kindly reminded me that I'm 4 years older than him... Weekend ruined

Lukaku's run to make the space was great there.

[trabuch]

Good match.

Not sure I agree he's better tbh, he just plays in a shit league. 

 

I think over the last nine to twelve months Tielemans has blossomed in to a better player than Veratti, who feels like he's going backwards if anything. 

 

Veratti is petulant, temperamental, easy to wind up and I don't think he has quite the same degree of vision that YT does to thread a pass. He's also got fvck all athleticism. 

 

Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. But I'd pick YT.

Are you watching this game or has the Welsh defeat affected you severely

The weakest part of the Belgian side is Martinez imo.  Never rated him.

Agreed mate.

He's a guy who was given a Porsche and prefers to drive it with a handbrake on. 

If Belgium win this, they'll do it in spite of Martinez.

This big lad in goal for Italy is good 

[StriderHiryu]

KDB is ridiculous isn’t he?! So good.

It's all Italy with Belgium sitting in a passive low block and occasionally trying to counter? 

 

[whoareyaaa]

end to end

[That_Dude]

Always loved how Italy combine flair going forward and street thuggery when defending (obviously toned down the last few years).

Roberto, of course, rather than Dino. Just needs to let his hair grow a bit more

[Dahnsouff]

Enjoying this. Quality, mostly from Italy at the moment tbh. Just feel Belgium’s defence is a weak point though.

[HybridFox]

Are they singing please don't take me home

 

I thought it was just an England thing
