[Davideeyore]

Italy take their inspiration from Gareth Southgate

 

[DualityNSNO]

Does anyone know if Bastoni is Pistone’s illegitimate son?

(Doesn’t work as well written down as it sounded in my head. Sorry all.)

Pistone means piston, Bastoni means stick (or walking stick).

 

[helpimonfire]

Tough game this, but Come On!!!!!

[Jamiednm]

The Italians will have to dramatically improve in their next game if they want to stay in the tournament.

Why do you call them 'Just Saying Lads'?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Bulgarian studio for the Germany - Denmark game has Krasimir Balakov involved.

It took him legitimately 1 sentence after saying hello to the host to somehow involve "Bulgaria at USA '94" into his expert analysis.

 

[Davideeyore]

If England get through they'll have to improve dramatically to get past the Swiss.

 

[Papa Shango]

Switzerland are fine until they make the last 8. This will only be the second time they've ever done that, so they have no big tournament experience to fall back on as a nation. They'll flatter to deceive in the next round. It'll be nosebleed time for them. Can they handle that? Let's put it this way: I'd fancy a good Italian side more than a great Swiss side in a quarter-final with England. This, of course, is a rank Italian side so better they go out now.

I'd love to be wrong, of course, and maybe I will be, but I can't see it.

It's overthinking things that.

It's just a game of football. Play your normal game and score more than your opposition. They all play for decent clubs, it's not like they are amateurs.

England will have to dramatically improve to get through Slovakia first mate.

 

[Blue83]

Italy were awful, what happened to them, how did they go from producing loads of world class players to what they have now
