yep italy on pens the jammy bastards

[Leicesterpool]

This will go to pens, 1-1 draw. Likely Italy win on pens as they always do. Will be hard work for them for 120 minutes the Swiss I think will give it a go.

[SkidsFox]

Do we play the winner of these if we get past Slovakia?

Yes.

[Brizzle Fox]

One of the worst Italy teams I've ever seem and Switzerland should have won their group. 

 

Swiss win for me this one.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Yeah I think the Swiss will beat these.

 

Put your house on a comfortable Italy win.

[filbertway]

Fancy Switzerland to take the lead - then it all depends on the attitudes afterwards. If they decide to try and sit on it then you know the Italians will find a way back into it.

 

I think they should be looking to get at an Italian team that looks fairly fragile and not give them any free confidence boosters by sitting off.

 

I'm not saying pure it needs to be pure Bielsa ball, but don't just retreat into your own third and try and see it out.

 

Get me booked in for a football masterclass talk.

 

[foxy boxing]

No ones staying neutral!. 

[foxes_rule1978]

The serious stuff starts today, I feel the Swiss have a good team and could win

[Kitchandro]

With that line-up Spalletti has no one but himself to blame if they lose.

[l444ry]

We are struggling for quality up top. Have been for years. Anyone has a chance, especially the Swiss. Hope that Italian defensive organisation can solve the problem again. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Scamacca your main man upfront  

[foxy boxing]

Swiss dominating play and possession early on!.

[StanSP]

Big miss if Barella has to go off. 

[StanSP]

Naughty from Di Lorenzo. Looked like quite a high challenge. Should be a yellow. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Better from Italy 

[Raj]

Wont be a goalfest will it with Italy crap at scoring but Donna summers in goal who's the best goalie in international  footy 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Italy are crap!

[Super_horns]

Switzerland been the better team but not many clear chances .

They really are. Something not clicking for them. Quite underwhelming. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Italy are getting swamped by the Swiss 

[foxes_rule1978]

Very poor game, the Swiss just need that final ball though
