Don't they have songs in French/Dutch

I wonder if you're more/less likely to be a fan depending on wether you're Flemish or Wallonian

The Italian staying down in hope of a VAR penalty review, then Chiesa scores so he gets up!

Telling you ..these are a different Italy to what we all know

Not only good at the back , but move the ball so quick and close down so fast .

I like watching them

Maybe this Italy team will make everybody take notice that you don't have to play fucking boring football to do well at international tournaments.

Impossible not to like him though. That smile should brighten anyone's day.

Swap him with the guy who always walks up Trinity St asking everyone for 20p for the bus.

Thing is even if Italy lose tonight , they have a bright future , they've used 2 teams in this tournament and looked good with both

Italy looking very good. You'd still expect De Bruyne / Lukaku to conjure p one goal. Might not be enough though!

Immobile showing Harry Kane how a number 9 should lead the line

Fecking cheats. I knew there was a reason they were doing so well.

They definitely don't look like a team that has gone through years of transition.

To be fair , Italy get the ball forward much quicker and play off him constantly.

It's not just about Italy's passing. They are a very spatially aware team. They use the gaps between the opponents so well. They instantly know where to pass and where to collect the ball.

Reminds me of the time I worked in the City centre. This bloke stopped me and said he was a coach driver and his coach had broken down and needed some money to get a spare part. Got really arsey when I offered to let him use a phone in my office to ring his coach firm to sort out the arrangements./payment, The moral of the story is 'never pretend to be a coach driver when you've had so much to drink you can't construct a sentence'

You’re half right

They play the “English style” that we think we can play but never do.

They’re direct but not long, fast, tenacious and press all the time- they play a premier league style almost
