I need to see the build-up to that second goal by Italy again.

They had the ball on the edge of Belgium’s box, faced by a red wall of defenders. Italy passed it from side to side, patiently trying to create an opening. Then they passed it back to midfield, then further back all the way (I think) to the keeper and started to build again.

At that point I thought ‘what a waste, to go from the edge of your opponent’s box all the way back to your own’.
Which is why I watch football rather than play or coach it.

Because Italy then worked the ball all the way back up the pitch, leading to that fabulous goal by Insigne.

I don’t think Belgium touched the ball throughout.
Incredible stuff.

Well surely Italy have breached their bubble

I was about to post that Italy will take some serious beating due to keeping it tight at the back and taking their chances, but then again (in the words of Baddiel and Newman), that's us that is.

Hopefully six of their best players will have to isolate for ten days or so.

Do Italy apply the same rules and as strict as the UK when it comes to coming into contact with another? Even if tested negative.

Denmark look the real deal so far.

Another fairy tale Euro tournament win?

They have looked very good after the first two games which were obviously marred and affected by the erikson incident.
If they won it, I would assume (maybe very wrongly tho) that they would be the first ever winners to lose their first two group games

They were the first and only ever winners without qualifying for the tournament

They are the 1st ever to get to the Qtr Finals after losing the 1st 2 group games.

Back to a back 4.

Sancho in for Saka. Must fancy that pace can undo them with JS and RS on the flanks. Still a really good bench.

Denmark haven't beaten anyone good though IMO and not threatened on tonight's showing. Italy are the team to beat and the final will be us v Italy

they are handing out face mask as the fans go in but ................

the Ukranians fans have refused to wear facemasks and are trying to intimidate the British by wearing "Balaclavas"

it helps if you know your history

Not even nearly over yet. Last 20 mins they were much the better team. Interesting second half to come.

We need another goal

IDM · « **Reply #650 on** July 03, 2021, 09:06:39 pm by IDM »

Why oh why, when we have a free kick around the half way line, do we pass back rather than delivering forward to the danger area.?

Apart from the occasional burst we’re not attacking quick enough..

Mind you, set pieces can win games.. get in.!!

I’d like to see Foden get a bit more game time..

And still no goals conceded by England in the tournament..

Bentley Bullet · « **Reply #656 on** July 03, 2021, 09:22:14 pm by Bentley Bullet »

What a brilliant performance.

IDM · « **Reply #657 on** July 03, 2021, 09:23:59 pm by IDM »

They can pass it around at the back as much as they want now.!!

MachoMadness · « **Reply #658 on** July 03, 2021, 09:33:53 pm by MachoMadness »

Wow. What a performance. Ukraine no great shakes but England sides of the past would have laboured against this sort of team.

Campsall rover · « **Reply #659 on** July 03, 2021, 09:46:42 pm by Campsall rover »

Southgate is too defensive.

Gone very quiet in that corner hasn’t it.

Think he knows how to set up a team more than any of us do.

Footballs coming home. I really am starting to believe it actually is.

Come on England our time has come. Bring on those Vikings. No not Rovers.
