Italy v Spain

[inva]

strong start from Italy

 

[The39thStep]

very well organised and have tested DeGea . Do any other countries play with a back three?

 

[inva]

italy looking very good

 

[The39thStep]

Well deserved . Italy better organised, more astute and tactically far better at the mo.

 

[chilango]

Yay.

 

[JimW]

Yep, worried they'd not make the good start count.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Got in front of a PC just in time to see the goal

 

[inva]

Spain maybe lucky that was a goal seeing as De Gea took out that Italian player before it went in the net

Is the screen big enough for you to see how awful the Spanish kit is?

I like it

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is the sound ahead of the picture for anyone else?

No, we bought a proper telly [emoji14]

 

[JimW]

Effort. Italians have really got Spain's number

 

[inva]

yeah, now you mention it. commentary probably 2-3 seconds late on iplayer

 

[Lord Camomile]

Vialli! Well worth a listen.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm the other way round, I hear it before I see it.

 

[The39thStep]

Can't believe that Giaccherini is the same player that Sunderland have lol

 

[pocketscience]

I'm the other way round, I hear it before I see it.

sorry, that what I meant. Seems ok now since they returned to the studio

 

[The39thStep]

I think Italy's back three is all Juventus? Must say that I am looking toward to see what Conte does at Chelsea

 

[big eejit]

How is that a yella for Pelle?

 

[editor]

spicy game!

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Pelle... he's having a really good game, the Southampton striker"

Really?? All he's done so far is collect a (joke of a) yellow card and score no points for me! I mean, no goals for Italy

 

[chilango]

Enjoying this.

Italy look good.

Back four

 

[The39thStep]

In my head before the game I envisaged resolute defending by Italy against attacking pressure by Spain . How wrong can you be?

 

[alsoknownas]

Worse ref I've seen at the tourney so far.
