Roland17:
Once again I would say, Mancini deserves an immeasurable amount of credit for the work he has put in Italy.. They are a totally different team..

User09:
Ibime rest!!!

TheLequte:
KdB looked subdued tonight TBH.

Ibime:


I will rest when we have a DM not a failed controller and escort extraordinaire who gets smashed anytime Chelsea don't park the bus against big teams

pamcode:
very different. I have always known Italy to be defend first and look for a counter or set piece situation. They are now a possession based team with an aggressive high press. The area I feared for them which is whether their wing forwards (wide areas) could be in form was allayed by insigne,spinnazola and chiesa. I hope Emerson can fill in the Boots properly.

lordfalcao:
all these are talks to rub Jorginho off his credits

We can also apply the criteria of when they met.. in this case.

When they met Jorginho 2-0 kdb

donstan18:

I doubt, Busquet can’t withstand those midfielders

airmark:


Popizaino go send thunder to Homesteady that day because of Busquets.

Italy will miss Spinazolla though.

donstan18:

Omo those Italian midfielders and strikers no get joy oo!!

donstan18:

England will trash Spain.

nihilistjnr:


Yeah, seen the movie, the series and all thr comics.

Omo I'm Marvel for life o. I used to be DC growing up cos na DC comics we dey mostly see buy for Ikeja under bridge in that 90s.

But watching Spiderman on Cadbury breakfast TV and later X-Men on channels really opened my eyes to the marvel storylines and I was hooked. At one point, I used to beg my brother to take me to Yaba market every month to go and bend down select Marvel comics.

Their storylines were a looot better in the 90s imo with house of M, secret wars etc. Batman still number 1 for me, but after that na marvel

PDPGuy:
Won’t be surprised if Mancini specifically details Barrella and Veratti to press Busquets on Tuesday.. Any sensible coach will employ such a strategy since Busquets is not the most athletic midfielder around.

homesteady:
So Escort Busquets succeeded where busy body, energetic, pawaful Kante allowed three goals?

Ibime:


You press a deeplying playmaker, you disrupt his team, and Jorginho succumbs to press everytime. I don't know why Martinez will be sitting back playing 3-4-3 with 3 centrebacks who don't contribute to the midfield, leaving Belgium midfield one short. . . instead of putting a 3rd midfielder on which is the AM you need to harry Jorginho. If you just put one AM on Jorginho, that's Italy's killswitch right there.

Jorginho had no one on him all day. He was just dropping deep to collect ball from the centrebacks with no AM on him because of course Witsel and Tielemans have to keep the 2 man shape deeper in the midfield

MorataFC:
France '98 came to mind, we finished as a group leader in our group and our next opponent is Denmark who narrowly qualified for round of 16, and whoever wins the match will face Brazil in Qf, all sporting fans in Nigeria have seen themselves beating Brazil, "we will beat Brazil, we will beat Brazil" became the chant of young and old, the d day came we were beaten black and blue by Denmark.

Let England trash Ukraine first before we can talk of the next game.

BlueAngel444:
he is waiting for Jorginho to play but he will receive a massive L there

BlueAngel444:
KDB has barely created shit tonight and now he dives

BlueMann:
Jorginho for Ballon D'or
