This Italian Side.

[mickd1961]

Unrecognisable from any previous Italian side I’ve seen.

Absolutely electrifying going forward and energy and pace all over the pitch added to the usual Italian defensive resilience regardless of the penalty.


From a purists point of view they look like the best side in the tournament to me.

That first finish was a real old fashioned finish, like from the good old days.

I hope Belgium can do us a favour and knock them out but I very much doubt it.

Scintillating football, absolutely top draw, how football should be played.

They were excellent tonight, be an interesting probably brilliant game Tuesday when they play Spain.

Italy are an excellent all round team - I fear if we meet them in the final then football will sadly not be coming home

From what I’ve seen Spain have looked pretty poor this tournament

[mickd1961]

I think they're nailed on to win this now, they'll muller Spain.

Unless it is a case of premature ejaculation and they have come too soon!

Great to watch them play isn't it, technically brilliant and right up for it.

They were far from impressive last week though against Austria, so they can be got at.
Belgium really under performed this time against them and they only have themselves to blame, another so called golden generation flopping on the big stage lol.
