So, is Belgium a "big" team? Can we finally say maybe this team has talent?

No talent, but has grinta.

Is Chiello and Bonucci hugging the fans going to be an issue now? With covid n all?

With Hazard, KDB and Witsel fully fit. Yes, we're a big team. But you have to remember Eden didn't play, KDB played with torn ankle ligaments and Witsel is recovering from a torn achilles.

Italy played very well, but imo they'll likely go out against Spain.

Nightmare scenario would be losing to England in the final.

If Roberto Martinez is your coach, automatically you’re not a big team. He’s the Spanish Gigi Del Neri.

I'm glad someone other than myself recognizes how spare of an entity/coach he is

He is not even Belgian. So I dont get what currency this average coach has in keeping the job for so long.

It’s all premface hype with him, no?

From what I recall he was nothing special managing Everton

Give the guy some slack. How do you even coach Belgium? A country of different groups with different languages who have no unified national identity.

Kudos to Mancini. When he went to coach Zenit after his second Inter tenure, everyone thought his career was over.

Spain have been far inferior to Italy in this tournament. But sure, it's not like they are a crap team, and Italy could lose to a worse team than Spain. However Italy are obvious favourites.

Does Mancini start Belotti next match?

He shouldnt. No reason to change a winning starting 11 in the final two games

He has a bad reputation, dollarumma etc, but tbh i couldnt give a shit about that. Long gone are the loyal calcio days of Del Piero, Totti etc anyways. I would really like him here but in the end it wasnt to be. Maybe we can scoop him up at a later time

Spain has played against team that dont want to play football. Most team they faced played with 10 players on goal, Morara is not the best to score against such teams. It will be different game vs Italy. I expect a very open game and it could go either way.

He is like Mbappe , but just because he is goal keeper doesn't get attention he deserves .
People have no problem paying De Ligt 8/12m and pay 80m fee for him , but were mad when we wanted to pay 20m fee + 12m salary .
To bad we didn't have money for him , because he is one of the best in the world and is just 22 y old .

Agreed. Only time will tell , but for me he was the ideal replacement
