I guess it was a complete team effort, but shaky defending in the 2nd 15 period. Kind of glad they got that goal scored against them so no thinking about not giving up one for so long.
Frankly, it must be difficult being a footballer: very hard physical work / training & fitness, torrent of abuse and threats, hounded by fans and pundits alike.
That deflection off the back of his foot, is moronic risk taking as a defender when your GK sees it all the way from that distance.
If it doesn't deflect into goal it can bounce to the opposition in a dangerous spot.
Has been good overall this tournament, but the first 3 games were in complete control and the defense didn't get tested much at all. Against Austria when the pressure was he did look a little shakey. Can't be a starter for us next season. Back up only.
Wow! I mean the long distance accurate passes he made today. Not leading directly to a goal but entire side-to-side and long distance diagonal ones keeping control. Of course not a fan but play like this please this year for Juve.

Last time he did that fairly regularly was with Max at the helm. Hopefully we see it again. His long balls relieve pressure. Especially with the duds at CM we have at the moment, it'll be very useful.
