Croatia is going to fight like crazy today, they lost one and tied. They're old but tenacious. Italy needs a tie or win to go thru.
2024 Euro
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
I don't think so. AFAIK, in both the Euro and World Cup, two yellows results in a DQ for the next game.
I started going to Italy on my own at the end of the 70's. I watched Italy vs Yugoslavia at my cousins place in 1981, I still remember it. It was physical and intense, perhaps the most competitive match between two nations. Playing against the breakaway republics is not a bowl of cherries.
As for yellow cards, correct me if I'm wrong, they are voided after the QF.
Von is correct. The accumulated yellow cards are void after the quarter-final only.
Nah! I coach youth soccer for 10 years now. In the years I had a team at 10 or below there was no offside. We lost so many games because I asked my goalie or defenders to always play from the back.
We were better then many team playing only kick and run that ended up beating us…
but a year or 2 later my kids got selected to the best team because they knew who to play from the back as a team.
I root for Italy since 1993 as i was in Munich at the same time as Champions final. The Italiens fans were far nicer than the French. They bought food and drinks for my girlfriend. They even gave us Jersey of Milan! (that I got stolen 2 weeks later in Spain
). What a great time we had!Sad to see Luka Modrić going out. One of top footballer for the past 16 years. I root for Germany in any tourney since 1966.
If you wanna see how good Italy is at pressing the ball, watch the last 20 minutes against Croatia.
Italy are brilliant when they WANT to attack!!
This is why you usually dont see it from them because they almost always play catenaccio.
Respect to Italy for coming back in dying minutes.
And respect to Croatia for almost pulling it off.
Whomever wins this Euro will DESERVE it!!
Because these games are crazy!!!

Yes he will (Leao), its only at the round of the 16 that they're cleaned. Their next game is still regular for Portugal.
They managed to turn on once they were losing. I still think they're a modest team, Donnarumma is probably the best in there.
I agree the games are very good, whoever wins it deserves it. Unless I see England turn on, I would think Spain or France may win. Germany didn't do very well against Switzerland.
No. Teams are going all out in the last minutes. Thus the goals
Actually yellow cards are not cleared for the round of 16, Calafiori got a yellow card today and he'll be missing the game against Switzerland. (round of 16)This is what the Italian sites are saying
EURO 2024 yellow card rules: Which players could be suspended in Germany?
UEFA rules state that players who accumulate a certain amount of yellow cards will miss their country's next game - so who is at risk?

every league of every level of every ages, men or women soccer, you see many late goals. The winning team is suddenly scared to make any mistakes while the losing is all in as they suddenly don't care if they get scored.
