I have a feeling looking at his cramp at the end that Berardi might start the final and Chiesa come on.

That would be my fear. Lack of quality up front for them is pretty awful without Chiesa

If Chiesa doesn't play

Whenever I watched England play in a big tournament against a team with a superior midfield, I saw the English lose. Italy's midfield lost tonight, but I expect them to completely dominate England or Denmark on Sunday.

What was their expectations in 2018 when they also reached the semis?

 

[Stevie]

Pray Chiesa is fit.

Glad you're able to find some glory somewhere.

some times you just have to hunt in the right place

Spain played brilliantly, their passing and control is too much for most teams and Italy needed penalties to win. It was a tough game and the midfield was exposed by the style, doesn't mean that Italy were bad. The backups like Toloi were lacking though, the bench does look light especially the strikers. England wouldn't touch the ball against today's Spain but at this stage mental strength and desire will have a major effect. Denmark and England is going to be really tight, too close to call.

 

[Gigiventus]

Can't see England giving us as much trouble as Spain honestly.

They way they play should suit us.

Anyway hope Denmark makes it.

Gets even more absurd if you consider that the British middle and upper classes are supposed to be these cultured understatement types and their culture is built on that british composure and restraint. Must be a big split in their society between Downton Abbey and the CAM ON SCORE SAM FACKING GOALS Shannons




I don't think so they hate us more than anybody else

Exactly.

But it seems they always had a big gap from rich to poor. England is still a class society in many ways.

Britain isn't really like Downton abbey. Of course there are some wealthy families and some people on benefits but I wouldn't imagine it is much different from other countries.

Football is increasingly a middle-class sport these days given how much it costs to follow a team. Again not that different from other counties like Italy where tickets to watch Juve can be over 100+ Euros.

So bitter.

Never thought I'd see the day, Chris Coleman sat next to the legend. I bet Alex can't understand a fucking word he is saying.

 

[Enron]

I just want to see more extra time and penalties

Their way to the final has to be the biggest joke ever.

Tell me about it. First proper team they meet is at the final where they play at home in front of their fans. Incredible.

 

[Seven]

I'm very surprised no one mentioned how Bernardeschi absolutely buried his spot kick.

To beat Croatia and be underdogs against France.

Andy is praying to all the Norse gods right now for Denmark to reach the final so it isn't Italy vs England.

 

[juventus4life]

To beat Croatia and be underdogs against France.

And then they got beaten by a frustrated Belgium.

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah but no one cares about 3rd place, or at least not in England. Maybe Spurs fans.

We didn't care either. Our players just felt like beating England.

What a fucking unbelievable night I had. I wanted a quiet day at work, go home before 20:00, grab a beer and watch the game.

Everything what possibly could’ve gone wrong, went wrong. Been stuck with gazillion documents for hours basically didn’t see much of the first half, besides the goal and I understood that we weren’t playing well. The rest of the game I could watch luckily in between doing things.

Even driving to home I received a call that I forgot something damn my head was so full with emotions.

Now I’m home, 5 hours later than I planned to be, but I’ll take it.
