Italy v Austria Saturday 26th June 8pm

[Lord Camomile]

Just waiting for "Alabaaaaaaaaa...!".

'cause I need him to pick some extra points now I've lost those Italian clean sheets

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, meanwhile, Austria still bust a gut to prevent a goal, 'cause they still believe.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooooooooh, really, ref...?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Have you ever watched sport

Sure, it's not likely that Austria will pull it back, but far, far weirder things have happened.

Austria deserve their shot at weirdness

Fair dos. It's been a terrific extra time.

 

[blairsh]

Quite a finish, that.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bah.

It's inevitably even more heartbreaking when you get so close.

Fair play to the Austrians, few gave them a chance, but they were no rollover, not at all.

 

[tommers]

Nothing to be scarsd of there. 6-0 Rice gets the lot.

[oryx]

Grrrr. The most I've wanted a team to win apart from England!

Fighting spirit is definitely my favourite quality in sportspeople.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Austria played like an experienced and confident 'big' team. All credit.

 

[two sheds]

I now have a 100% successful prediction rate for the Euros

 

[Steel Icarus]

Got better as it went along, that

 

[Sprocket.]

That game was what Saturday evenings were made for. Most entertaining couple of hours I’ve seen this year. Austria can definitely hold their heads up, Italy are Italy and evermore shall be so.

Have you predicted every game?

 

[two sheds]

No just this one

 

[littlebabyjesus]

No just this one

Well I predicted that Wales-Denmark would be close and this one wouldn't be. What do I know?

 

[Lord Camomile]

My gamble on Alaba so nearly came off

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wonder how much that'll have taken out of the Italians for the game against Belgium or Portugal.

In Munich, so not too much travel involved, but won't be an easy game.

 

[Wilf]

Still not really sure how good Italy are. Well, they've not lost for 30 games, but then Man United haven't lost away for about 18 months. So that kind of not sure.

 

[Dogsauce]

Italy seemed very composed, slick passing. Austria seemed more of a battling side, not afraid to take on players, dance round them etc. Lots of challenging for possession going on. Great to watch, didn’t get boring at any point.

 

[Numbers]

Aaaaaand there goes everyone's clean sheets

Brilliant header, though, how's he getting that in??!

It sucks, clean sheets within the 90 should get if not all the points the majority of them.
