Spain v Italy, Thurs 20th June 2024

[Maggot]

Should be a good game with 2 heavyweights. Spain looked more convincing in their first game.

Italian tactical error from the off, they've come disguised as England.

This thread title won't age well.

If it’s anything like Euro 2012, it might become relevant again in about three weeks time.

 

[Maggot]

No Immobile?

 

[Maggot]

The Spanish Nico Williams is even better than the Welsh one.

The Italian striker's neck tatts... wow. You'd hope he regrets those

We’re all covered in ink, get over it hon

 

[twistedAM]

Italy adapting Saka and Bellingham tactics.

Are we? If I was to get a huge neck tattoo I'm not sure I'd get one of my current squeeze's face. And if I did I'd probably not get a 15yo trainee to do it.

Great first half , Spains wide players have been great . Love the pace .

 

[Lotte]

I miss Mancini. Also, Donnarumma has been an absolute tank this game.

 

[The39thStep]

Spain have looked impressive in their first two games.

 

[tommers]

Spain look good.

Carvajal is a little shithouse.

Yeh but what a shithouse to have on your side

 

[Monte]

I wish they'd use VAR to penalise the simulation more.

 

[tommers]

Yeah, it wasn't an insult.

 

[The39thStep]

I must big up Cucurella who has had two good games for Spain

 

[dessiato]

At least Spain won, but I'd have preferred it to have been a Spanish player scoring for them.

They could have had 4 or 5 tbh

They were, in my unbiased opinion, the better team and deserved the win.

Controversial take

 

[Lotte]

Can't disagree, Donnarumma saved Italy from being completely owned by Spain.
