Euro 2020

[creatorsgam]

England just has the Homefield advantage where they would only play one match in the quarterfinals outside of Wembley.

The English played pretty mediocre outside the Croatia match.

Their manager is their problem.
The German team has been below average the entire tournament.
They might be tuning out their retiring manager or nobody but Tony Kroos has looked dangerous.

I though Gnabry has looked dangerous on the right, certainly capable of beating a 1 v 1 and creating an unsettled situation inside the final third. Havertz has made some clever, probing runs at the defense. They can threaten at times, that’s for sure. Can they maintain discipline defensively in the back and middle of the pitch? Thus far, for a full 90 minutes, that answer has been an obvious “no.”

One thing is certain: England knows their history and won’t want this to go to pk’s

If I never see this center official again in a major tournament, I’ll be okay with that.

Total garbage. Must say didn't see today's first result coming...

what happened today that italy went from -210 ish to -175 over night?

Austria still pressing against Italy. I like it,
Don’t go home sitting back.

 

[creatorsgam]

Immobile, wow that was a strike off the woodwork. That would have been a crazy goal. Keeper didn’t stand a chance.

Italy presses so high up the pitch and really put the backs and keeper under pressure on the ball. Feels like I’m watching myself play FIFA.

 

[CanadianSU]

Locatelli on at half id suspect

 

[Orangezoo]

Austria doing as well as you could expect so far. Not a thread really but hanging on.

 

[upperdeck]

if you told me italy was up 3-0 after that control i would think it happened.. to be at 0-0 though and still have a chance is all Austria could hope for..

Germany vs England at Wembley is the knockout tie we all need.

Lol

Germany will advance and the English will once again wonder what went wrong.

When you have Kane, you need to play attacking football

You would think that England would figure out how to utilize all the talent they have. It's odd how the USMNT has had the same problems(obviously not the same depth of talent).

Haha yeah Germany in regulation or PK’s if history is any predictor. England would love to knock them out at Wembley and finally get a bit of payback. Will be interesting to see how Southgate sets his lineup and tactical philosophy.

Going to be working so not sure if I can stream it, may have to record it. Wanted to watch this one live. If I’m lucky I can get the second half.

good for Austria tbh. Pundits before the game up here going on about how they might get beat by 5 (again shortsighting some of the lesser known teams this was never gonna be destruction)

An English guy I work with predicted an Austria upset. I told him he was crazy.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Day-um Osterreich!

Edit - dramatically over turned. Close call; Italy with a new lease

 

[CanadianSU]

Correct call, but rough. Italy finally being tested.

 

[CanadianSU]

That’s a pen I thought.

nvm dude was offside

 

[creatorsgam]

Great control from Chiesa. Italy to see this out now.

Helluva fight they put up.

 

[Noexcuse]

Helluva fight they put up.

Great game plan by Austria. Pressure Delorenzo and cut the link between him and Berardi and close defending on Insigne giving him little room to maneuver inside. Good subs by Mancini (obviously). Chiesa seems at peak form. Saved Barella who was sitting on a yellow which are wiped away going into the quarters. Italy will need their entire midfield contingent available for the next game.

 

[creatorsgam]

What a swing for the Dutch. Missed 1v1 chance, then de Ligt might be headed to the locker room with a straight red.

…and it is a straight red. From what should have been 1-0 up, they are down to 10 men. All within a minute.
