Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

[Martin Alvito]

The amount of ball that they have they don’t do enough with it.

Possession of the ball is Spain’s defence as they can’t seem to defend very well when opponents attack them

More or less what I'm saying. My sense is that the Italians will find a way through in the second half as the Spanish get tired. I don't see Italy's back four tiring.

 

[Blue Sky]

Might as well start the penalties now .

He loves blowing right on the 45

We are essentially watching the final here aren't we @chicoazul?

What a shame they will have to face substandard dogs in the final. Bit harsh in Denmark that actually sorry Viking lads.

 

[ste d' indica]

Spain's half that.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Spain's half that.

Agreed, but at the price of energy expenditure and without a goal.

As a result, I'd hand the round to Mancini. Enrique's plan is sound. It's good management. I just don't think he has the horses up top.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Very cagey. Spain's one real chance came from the ball breaking to them. Classic Spain this really. Keeping the ball more as defense than attack and actually trying to score when they can get Italy to turn it over.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Also Immobile is utterly pointless here

 

[barneygumble]

Pens all over this.

 

[davek]

You Crusaders better hope that Spain dont get through to the final; they'll slice through your dullard team like a hot knife through butter.

 

[davek]

Spinazzola a major loss here for Italy.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Pens all over this.

It depends on how happy Italy is to keep going like thus. I think they can find ways to open this up a bit more if they want to go for it.

I’d guess Belotti will be on sooner rather than later. Same with Locatelli for Barella. Italian midfield didn’t really exist first half.

 

[TaffyToffee85]

Dont think Wales got promoted. Think they changed the format to four teams per group from three due to the covid pandemic.

We won our division B group to move up one tier. You’re getting confused with the season before in which all relegated sides were reprived of relegation, as UEFA wanted to restructure the competition.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I’d guess Belotti will be on sooner rather than later. Same with Locatelli for Barelli. Italian midfield didn’t really exist first half.

I actually think it's Jorginho that they need to take off. Find someone who can get close to Olmo once in awhile.
