Adem Poric Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I've seen all their games and he was their best player and main outlet in each one until the injury. Chiesa has been in and out of the side. Insigne and Immobile drift in and out of games. I've liked watching Barella but he was quiet against Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have many gamechangers coming off their bench and now they've lost their biggest attacking threat it has thinned that out even more. That being said, they have excellent organisation and are well coached. They put their bodies on the line and have unbelievable desire. My money is on extra time, I'm just hoping our fitness levels are as they were last night because I dont think Italy could live with us if we can keep that level of pressure up so late in the game. We ground Denmark down with incessant pressure in that last 50 odd minutes. It’s kind of perfect you’ve got two ‘teams’ and neither has a ronaldo or a Suarez or anything. the worst games are the star player vs star player ones. im well up for a defending masterclass from both sides. we are slightly better and at home but it’s defo a 50/50 imo. we just need to not concede silly free kicks and I think we can do it. Im so excited for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVDA Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Mebbe if the bellends stopped booing other nations' anthems, symbolic gestures to defeat racism, and flashing laser pointers at the opposition, we'd get less of this perceived hatred (which is way overblown away from the Pandora's box of SM). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just re watched the possession in added time. 2 minutes and 40 seconds, 51 passes in the semi final of the euros to kill the game. Exquisite 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them have the slightest clue about football. This might be a stupid question. But does anyone know if there are any... well... better... football subreddits? I.e ones with actual football fans who go to games on a Saturday and support Hartlepool or Swindon Town rather than just Yank Premiership fans who think the Super League was a good idea.

Chiesa is a super player, as are Insigne & Immobile Yes he was and is. Immobile is no where near the level of some of the great Italian strikers of the past. Insigne is very hit and miss. Chiesa only just got in the team, but seems to produce the odd moment in flashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exquisite That move ended up going out for a throw-in, and 30 seconds later the Danes still hadn't got around to taking it. It was like it literally forced them to tap out. I can't remember ever seeing a team needing a goal with five minutes left being so begruding to get the ball back into play, it was honestly kind of brutal. I loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete savagery. I think it was Roy Keane who nailed it at the end. The Energy within this team is frightening, at no point did we look tired. What really impressed me was the character when we went 1-0 down. We’ve seen many an England team fold at such a pivotal point in games, not this one. It spurred them on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
