When Albania don't just sit back and actually do something, they look like they can be quite dangerous.

Not sure what commentator is on about Broja being Albanias best player. I can't only assume it's more Prem bias because he definitely isn't.

Italy would be well clear if Strakosha wasn’t in goal for Albania

He's looked good, doesn't get many starts at Brentford though

Italy might end up regretting all these missed chances. 2-1 is not a safe score at all

It’d be the most Italian thing to end up drawing this.

Bit underwhelmed with this second half Italy performance. Understand taking your foot off the gas with bigger games ahead but defensively Albania were there to be had, and have offered very little going forward.

Why doesn’t VAR get into the refs ear that it’s a corner?

Pathetic isn’t it, would take a nano second for the video official to say you’ve got that wrong

Italian TV showing the pitch invader for the whole of his cameo. Love it. Albanian players embracing him like one of the family!

It could be the twenty pints of Limoncello I've had, but I really like the way this Italian team are playing. There's a sort of swagger and belief that makes you feel like they could do something exciting at any point.

It's tournament football - It brings out the best in some.

I only tuned into 2nd half as was out for dinner. Didn’t really get the love in from the pundit team and felt that had England put in a similar performance tomorrow, the mood wouldn’t be quite so cheery.

Before the tournament, I felt Italy would win their group and felt that Spain looked quite vulnerable defensively against Croatia. Again, only caught the second half and on that evidence, 3-0 seemed a generous score line.

Over to England tomorrow and after the Iceland result, a strong opener against Serbia is what the doctor ordered. I’m going to optimistic and predict a 3-0 win and hope the big calls Southgate will make pay off.

Not sure it was picked up on here. Souness throwing another wobbly after Scotland getting pumped.

Blimey, how did Croatia, with a measly 3.8 million population ever manage to get to a world cup final!?

Iceland, with a population about the size of Coventry, have reached the knockouts of a major tournament more times in the last 10 years than Scotland ever have.

I wish there was more morning coverage of the Euros. Would be great to shave a daily ‘Football Focus’ style show.

Major incident ahead of the Poland game in Hamburg, apparently police have shot a man wielding an axe.

Like the look of Holland’s lineup, even without de Jong. Xavi Simons is top class, and Gakpo had a really good World Cup in Qatar. Maatsen’s on the bench.

Lewandowski injured so not sure about Polands forwards, except for Szymanski who’s pretty decent. Zielinski probably their best player.

Fear for Poland the way this has started. Gakpo looks up for this, unlucky not to have scored already
