The Italian gamesmanship has been embarrassing. It has been like watching 10 Neymars.

Danny Murphy - I'd take it to the corner flag

Insigne - nearly scores a cracking free kick

Italy got a lot of depth in their squad for sure, pessina, Chiesa and belotelli that can't hurt them going forward.

Bit of good news though, OFT.
Belgium v Portugal knocks a strong team out & the winner of that then plays Shitaly in the Q/F's, when another 'big team' will go out.

I think even if I was a teammate of Arnautovic I'd end up having a fight with him.

Arrogant cock.

Not many keepers would be saved that. There's another reason why Italy are the team to beat, they have the best goalkeeper in the tournsment

Unlike the Italians who go down screaming with the slightest bit of contact

That was hugely impressive from Austria. Didn't think they were capable of that

Missed the first 90, buts saw the ET. ET played out like a hockey game. End to end.

So, beat Germany, then beat (probably) Sweden, then beat one of Netherlands, Czech Rep or Denmark, in the semi-final..

Backed them to win the tournament before the start Puff and doubled up on the before last night's game
They look comfortable technically and have found a way to win so fingers crossed from me.

Very impressed by the Austrians last night - Arnie hasn't lost it, and apart from him I thought Schlager and Sabitzer were excellent. Both play for clubs in Germany that have qualified for Champions League next season though.

So did I. My reasoning was they went into this tour lament, somewhat under the radar and few people paid too.much attention to their recent results given their failure to qualify for the last World cup but with a record and history like theirs that should not be discounted. They were given a run for their money last night, but as with all good teams they found a way
