EURO 2020

[asuran]

15 minutes past, Wales seem to be in control so far.

I place my bets on Italy.

To win it all:
I have Italy on one side, Netherlands on the otherside of the bracket.

Current game, I have Dolberg scoring a goal.

 

[asuran]

And Dolberg scores!!

 

[asuran]

Impressive win for the Danes. Wales started great for 20 minutes then went downhill.

If they keep form, they can go all the way.

Dolberg with 2 goals today... Smooth striker. He's going to score more in this tournament! And he's most-likely playing my Netherlands teams.

 

[Captain Bly]

There are 5 sides that I can name off the top of my head in this tournament that are better than England, not going to happen.

Sad but true. Good players, stubborn coach who won’t let them play expansively.

 

[The Fox]

Too bad for Wales. They started well. It was over after the Danes scored that amazing first goal. They control the game after that.

Italy hasn't had a real challenge yet.

 

[asuran]

Italy is getting sloppy late in the game....
ugh... I got $50 on them... going thru

 

[danmand]

I cannot see Italy going far, if they have that much difficulty against Austria.

Next they will meet Belgium or Portugal.

 

[asuran]

whew up 2-0 Italy
another 15 minutes to go

was getting nervous..

 

[K Douglas]

Wow Denmark 4-0 over Wales. What a turnaround from their start to the competition.
Austria played very well against Ukraine so not totally surprised that they gave Italy a run here.

 

[Captain Bly]

Italy are poor, no creativity at all. Not even good at falling over!

 

[Insidious Von]

That was not a football match, it was a war.

Unlike the Turks, the Austrians stuck to the game plan and it nearly paid off. The offside was 50/50, I would have allowed the goal to stand, Austria would have advanced. Once in extra time, the Azzurri used the strength of their midfield to decide the match. Although Locatelli missed his assignment on Kaljdzic on the Austrian goal. My respect for David Alaba has never been higher, he is a true Marichal of the pitch. The Azzurri's Euro adventure will end in the Quarters, htye wont have recovered enough.

Juve made a mistake bringing back Max Allegri, they should have waited another week and hired Franco Foda.

Seems that way, but the Austrians were very tough. You never know, Hungary brought it to France. The Italians looked very aggressive in the first period, then they died down. Berardi wasn't very good this time. Tomorrows Belgium Portugal is going tough too.

The Italian team has very good individual players, and they show excellent technique and style. They just have peculiar difficulties in scoring goals.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Sorry @Insidious Von, but Italy are not gonna win this tournament

 

[Conil]

The Italian team has very good individual players, and they show excellent technique and style. They just have peculiar difficulties in scoring goals.

They do have good players, it just seems they don't have killer strikers, this time Immobile wasn't very good and I know I can't expect him to score each time but Mancini should've put in Chiesa earlier, he's a hard worker.

In other news Hakimi (Inter) seems to be going to PSG. PSG will have one of the strongest team next season.

 

[Insidious Von]

The Austrians are a big physical club, Mancini nearly pichiatto il cane by starting with a small midfield. I like Verratti and Barella but you cant play them both.

Locatelli didn't look too good when he got in the game either.

Maybe Chiesa should be played as a striker like his legendary father. He showed real flair and composure in the first goal.

You obviously did not watch the 3 group match

Easy group. Belgium or Portugal with be a lot tougher for them.
