Isco is quality, another finish that gave Buffon no chance, 2-0.

That should be it. No way Italy gets 2. Would take a miracle for Spain not to top the group considering. Italy facing a playoff in November

Not too sure there, I agree with Sherwood. The Buffon of yesteryear would have probably got to that. He is, quite naturally, starting to look old. Yes is was a good free kick but it wasn't unsaveable.
On a side note, good to see Jacqui Oatley presenting the game, a good old Wolvo girl

I agree that Buffon of yesteryear has a good chance at that. But Buffon of yesteryear was the best keeper in the world for a decade. I De Gea and maybe 2-3 others may have gotten to it. But average to above average keeper (which is what GiGi is at this point) don't get to it.Not too sure there, I agree with Sherwood. The Buffon of yesteryear would have probably got to that.

Ironic how De Gea saved a similar chance (open play) and smothered it like the ball had glue on it.
Gigi was the best goalkeeper and just as important, a great ambassador, sportsman, you name it.
Time to let go now.

1-0 down already.
Southgate did say he wanted a fast start

A wake up call for England, a good control and finish from Lobotka. England punished.
