He's so fast.

Exactly what I was going to post. Someone will snap him up.

 

[planetgeli]

Six minutes of Italians rolling on the floor to come

 

[quiet guy]

The goalie is making a hell of a meal of that fall

 

[Hollis]

Bleedin' hell - the Italians really are the world champions of time wasting..

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Old Italy comes out in the last 10 mins.

 

[planetgeli]

Fuck! He's been shot!

 

[JTG]

Famously, nobody else in the world employs gamesmanship when winning in injury time

 

[JTG]

Get the fuck in!

Sta tornando a casa!

 

[agricola]

what a fantastic game of football

Famously, nobody else in the world employs gamesmanship when winning in injury time

this is absolutely the case in club football, as fans of the Belgium manager's previous clubs will attest

 

[littlebabyjesus]

well done Italy. Commiserations Belgium. Brilliant game, and a shame it was only a qf.

Now please beat Spain, Italy.

It still blows my mind to see such a mediocrity in charge of such good players

 

[JTG]

Belgium disappointed not to be playing the mother country in the next round

 

[Steel Icarus]

Best team won.

 

[The39thStep]

Well managed game by Italy , deffo the team team to beat imo

 

[agricola]

It still blows my mind to see such a mediocrity in charge of such good players

seemingly our club has become expert in that sort of thing, the Saturn V first stage to his and Koeman's Skylabs

 

[planetgeli]

That'll be a positive covid test for Chiellini then

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Best team won.

They're the best team in the comp. Have been from the first game tbf.

 

[magneze]

Deserved winners. Brilliant game. Hope they spank Spain.

 

[Petcha]

God the Italians are pathetic.

I can't believe the commentator at the end there - 'The Italian warriors are still standing strong' while half of them are rolling around on the ground. Depressing to think that's what it takes to win.

 

[Hollis]

I can already imagine the final if England get through..

tbf they were having a go at a player who stood up with a black eye.

No, two brilliant goals and a superb performance was what it took to win.

It may be depressing to think but fortunately the reality is that they were better in every department, including game management

 

[littlebabyjesus]

If Italy reach the final, whoever they play will be second-favourites. But Portugal were second-favourites vs France. Anything can happen in a final.

 

[JTG]

The crowd whistling someone who'd pinged his hamstring and had to be stretchered off was a moment as well

Mind boggling isn't it

 

[littlebabyjesus]

That was a massive shame - for him and for us.

 

[JTG]

That was a massive shame - for him and for us.

Absolutely, one of the players of the tournament so far and a caution on predictions of Italian glory - I'll be surprised if he recovers to play again in the next week
