TheLequte:
Italy went offensive against Belgium and they beat them.

They weren’t possessive thou, just recover and attack immediately.

Belloti should just turn to linesman.

popizaino:
Your midfielders don't find your attackers with good passes on time,you wont enjoy possession against Italy simply because spain did and by not getting possession there is nothing to worry about from Italy's defence.

England no dey play possession game.

Italy defensive play automatically makes opponent look possessive.

And then, most England goals so far dey come from wing, not midfield.

TheLequte:
Are you serious about all these?

Did you watch these teams play (Spain and Italy) from the start of the tournament or you’re basing your judgment on this one game?

How many tough teams has Denmark faced? How many games did they win during group stage? If not for Russia that fvcked up do you think they’d have made it.

Denmark are high on adrenaline and confidence because they lost Erickson early on in the tournament. That’s the reason for their cohesiveness. They’ve been riding on this for a while but it can only take them this far.

They may park the bus and play with a lot of passion but England has far better quality players. Hojbjerg cannot be everywhere. There’s a chance they win the game but it’s not as much as England’s chance.

High on adrenaline? That’s the same highness Iceland and Croatia had when they disqualified England from last WC and Euro.

But I know England will beat them, just saying Spain and Italy aren’t that threatening again.

Goal....

Italy scores....


Offside

popizaino:
But their attackers wont get the chances the Spanish players are getting .

Why think so?

Spain want to finish Italy

arukwe123:
all these epistle just to lose tomorrow. The kind L wey you go swallow ehn

What if England win?

I just went through Spain squad, not upto 5 senior experienced players, how are they outplaying Italy this way?

MorataFC:
Denmark?
Italy is the only team that can beat them

Italy no too dey ball sha, the pattern they are known for never comot the team.

Just that they do it well.

TheLequte:
LooL. Why do you think so?

Denmark are very serious and clinical.

They have good DM that can mark and throw passes— Hojberg, thou it’ll be difficult for him to face Rice and Philip. Their strikers and midfielders are very clinical and straightforward, not scared thou because England will be starting at lead 6 defensive players. They are Belgium pro-max, make a mistake and they’ll capitalize IMMEDIATELY without missing any one. England finds it difficult to handle such teams, clinical underdogs.

Italy on the other hand are actually shiit from the way Spain dey play them. Just park bus and look for counter, it won’t work for England, not when they have Shaw, and other 5 defensive players. If Belgium had organized defenders that can stop counters, they would have beaten Italy. I don’t know how this will sound, but England players are just too complete, they are lacking nothing, they have all the players that can fit any tactics in the world, so long as they do no mistake.

Spain? Them no follow atall.

As it stands now, from what I’ve watched so far from these 4 remaining teams.

Denmark seems to be the only team that can beat England.

Unlimited22:
This Morata will never be good for anything again.

He just served you “L”

Goal!!!


Morataaaa


Go Spain!!!

Neimarjr:
Omo this Spanish team is shameless

And useless

BlueAngel444:
Can England beat any of these two teams, see organization, tactics, game play

England is a complete team. They can beat the two teams.

What a save!!!

Spain wan kill Italy o

Busquet again.

Italy too dey rush, they no dey calm down.

Nice one Busquet, e for load now.

Jorginho go dey, Verrati go come mark for am.

nihilistjnr:
Omo they way barrella grip am

I think they were instructed to target him.

Busquet is finished.

Just believe...

Ibime:
Jorginho the "midfield controller" parking bus again against a decent side. Even Busquets done turn am to water carrier

Ferran Torres just messed Jorginho up now.

Spain Dey ball them.

Emerson tried there.

Italy sabi pressure oo!!

Inexperienced midfielders and defenders with low confidence fit loose guard for them.

Italy hits the bar, offside thou.

popizaino:
Maybe,Enrique is trying to preserve him for the later stage of the game. He probably wants to have more goal scoring options from the bench as to avoid the Switzerland game scenario.

A big gambling, thou it sometimes works.

andrewbaba44:
Neymar wanted to leave nah ,Barca didn’t let him go ,he forced himself out and the money psg offered was good so Barca got no choice

Neymar wanted to leave??

I was thinking they just sold him because of the price.

Kilishihunter:
Italy are the slight favorites but even at that Spain create a lot of chances but convert less than expected, even the games they won by 5 goals, they were still many chances they threw away, Moreno too came and did the same against Switzerland in extra time, So it probably forced Enrique's hand to play Oyarzabal a pure winger as a striker, I still believe the game would be tight as major points sha, Maybe Morata can be a super sub, Who knows? But you sef How are you so sure England would progress? You dey find Osho free defence abi

Yea, you have a point, Spain sabi miss chances and Morata doesn’t help matters, but he keeps defenders very busy, Azurri defenders needs a well grounded striker than can worry then, not Oyarzabal wareva, well he might be another Doku.

I want Spain to win, I don’t want England to meet Italy [If they qualify], but if England lose tomorrow, e go pain me to see Spain in that finals.

popizaino:
Sure they will lose but I don't think messi will be leaving, besides he has earn every right to earn such an amount of money based on football basis and not football nonentities like dembele, Griezmann and co getting huge sum doing absolutely nothing.

Barcelona started messing up after Neymar’s departure. Whatever it is, that made them sell Neymar, we don’t know.

It just can’t be normal.

For Messi, I think Barcelona makes more and way high than what they give him.
