Belgium need to employ operation 'get the ball to Doku'. Skinning his fullback every single time.

When are we signing Doku then? 

He is quality. Big money move for him incoming after this performance.

Doku know

Rennes spent 26m euro on him last year - would take a monster bid to take him off their hands

Tielemans always struggled when he has runners around him. Tough for him. On the ball he's great but I think his work off the ball will stop the biggest clubs trying to sign him hopefully.

Qualifiers always a bit dull. Then we get proper football matches like this. Total entertainment. No side to side then back passing. Just full on contesting everything

The previous 16 teams formula was awesome. The Euros couldn't get any tougher and I looked forward to it much more than the WC.

Lovely pass and move stuff from Italy

[hejammy]

Doku to Daka and goaaaaaaaallllll..... Sounds good right 

[Guest StevieLynex]

Spinnazola's a great player

[Sly]

How on Earth has Lukaku not scored.

[trabuch]

Unbelievable miss

Best game of the tournament so far.

Lacks a yard of pace to be a truly great player

What's he doing there

Can't believe how direct Italy are. Mancini has done a terrific job no matter the results. 

[Unabomber]

Italians celebrate a tackle like they’ve just become a padre

[trabuch]

Sometimes you can forget that football can be incredibly entertaining. In fact, it's supposed to be entertaining. 

[Izzy]

This Italy team are a great watch

Most entertaining Italian team I can remember watching

[StanSP]

Fancy Italy to score next. Belgium starting to tire. 

[trabuch]

Mancini is definitely my favourite manager of this competition. He's created a team that plays very watchable football.

Just love that name Spinnazola 

[Guest StevieLynex]

Insigne is what Madders has the potential to be 

[egg_fried_rice]

Italy are sick. Gotta be miles out in front as favourites for the tournament. Play with passion and pomp.

I quite lied the '94, '06 '02 and '08 ones but you're right, this one is special.
