Rubbish. Belgium missed about 3 good chances they should have scored.

I don't know what game you were watching, Italy were a class above.

Classic old school Italy in last 10. They look the team to beat though

Players celebrating with the crowd, that’s their “bubble” fucked then surely.

They see it as being smart- 'game management', we see it as cheating. I don't like it but I would be happy for us to do it if it means winning the thing

That's spot on, they genuinely think the 'fair play' stuff is stupid.

Spain Croatia was better. And France Switzerland was more exciting.

They were always going to have a couple of chances .

They were outplayed in large parts , outworked , out passed, outthought

Couldn't deal with their press for 70 , couldn't keep up with the pace of the passing , the movement .

Very impressive

And then they closed the game down & Belgium couldn't do a single thing about. Italy celebrate a clearance as if they've scored a goal, they know how to win games

If we played Italy it would be first goal wins

My worry is the pace they move forward we'd have to play passive all game .
Meaning countering in less numbers

I still think that will be the final .

Italy England

They do what it takes to win

God knows what they'd do with a load of our fans harassing them for not pumping it forward at 2-1 up

I don’t know how they don’t get more of a reaction though. If I was playing my last game for Belgium and they were doing that though I’d just cave in one of their noses and take them out of the semi. Take my 10 match ban into my retirement and cheat a cheater.

Italy had more possession, more shots, they were much better and hugely deserved to win.

If you don't realise what Italy just did- 70 mins of "new Italy" then 20 mins of "old Italy" stifling the life out of Belgium, then you don't really understand the game tbh

It might not be "entertaining" but its really impressive the way Italy close out games

If I was Southgate I’d be getting the white flags ready for tomorrow. We might as well pull out of the tournament rather than face the mighty Italy.

You should try playing 5-a-side over here, I used to get sent off enough as it was playing in England

I’ve been told that it will be an Italy England final so saves us the hassle of playing more games just to get pumped by Italy

I’ll always remember Ronaldo getting Rooney sent off in ‘06, was branded a disgrace over here to do one of his club mates like that, to them second nature, anything for their country to win

Calm down and stop getting so childish

Nothing wrong with appreciating a good game and a really good team do their thing

Anything to get an edge, anything to win. We see it as a lack of class, other countries see it as winning

A lot of other countries used to laugh at our 'fair play' style, even Maradona said that the only reason he even tried scoring his famous goal against us was that he knew he knew none of our players would do what any other country's would- ie chop him down before he got anywhere near the goal

I actually think Italy England could be a worthy final for a good tournament. We need to win tomorrow and the semi though. Can’t let Italy/Spain have a walkover like France we’re given in Russia.

I want the Czechs to win tomorrow. Think Denmark will be a surprisingly tough test for us.

Bye bye mr Myth aka Roberto Martinez - he’s been overhyped for years but actually done fuck all - apart from dance like a wooden dweeb at a shitty Jason Derulo gig

Oh shit. Thought it was a pulled calf. Achilles is horrendous

He was the best player on the pitch tonight.

He’s a fantastic player but unfortunately has been plagued with injuries for a lot of his career.

To be fair to him he's a very committed player, you can see why it might happen

I heard Barnsley are playing the winner of the whole thing to see who is the best team in Europe
