He's prolific for Lazio but not quite the same at international level. That said, he's currently on his best run of games/goals for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 These pundits writing off Italy a little on ITV will have egg on their face I feel in the coming weeks. Mancini is a top manager and they will love being wrote off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when he was at Derby. He clicked his fingers at her to pour the jug of milk on the table into his coffee. She poured it into his lap! She swears to this day that it was an accident but I was so proud of her that day. Thats great! He should have had it over his head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Easy for Italy tonight. Apart from a few crosses from Zubar the Swiss were toothless. Loccatelli's second reminded me a little of Tardelli's goal in the 1982 WC Final (and bloody hell they've just mentioned that on ITV). Hope they put a strong side against Wales because they need to be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I assume it's now pretty unlikely that either Switzerland or Turkey will get through to the last 16? So narrowing the pool of 3rd placed teams down to 4 from the other 5 groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Switzerland beat Turkey they will have a good chance of going through as one of the best 3rd place teams. 4 points is usually enough. Portugal got through with 3 last time and won the thing! They were very poor tonight though. They're normally hard to beat if nothing else. Drew with Brazil in last WC and took Argentina to deep into extra time in 2014. Their problem this time is that Shaqiri is barely fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looked like it, though as I said a simple solution would be to maybe film it from the other side in future for earlier kick offs (or is that too simple).

Should Switzerland beat Turkey 3 or 4 nil, which seems eminently feasible, and Wales lose heavily to Italy, Switzerland would go through as runners up, leaving Wales looking anxiously at other results hoping for a best third place qualification.

Sturny Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Wales have impressed me the most in terms of what I was expecting. I reckon they've carried over the vibes from last Euros, I almost wouldn't be surprised if they go further than us. They'll pull another upset in the knockout stages I reckon. Bale and Ramsay are something else in a Wales shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Wales finish second in their group, they will play Denmark, Finland or Russia - all quite ‘winnable’. Should England win their group, they would probably play either Germany or Portugal.

At the end of the day we have to beat the best to win it, might as well face them sooner. Imagine if we pulled a result against either of those, the hype would be unreal (in a good way). I would genuinely believe we have it in us to go to the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toulouse is lovely also. As good as they were last night, I don't think Wales are the same team as 16 when Ramsey and Bale were at the peak of their powers. I do still worry about the defense against better teams, Ben Davies is our only real experienced leader at the back. I guess the nice thing about being a Wales fan is the lack of expectation, yes we did well last time, but no-one expected that, nor are they expected to do the same this time. It's very much a case of happy to be there, enjoy every game, the further we get is just a bonus! I was lucky enough to be at the Belgium game in Lille and I have to say the only thing that has come close was watching city beat Man Utd in the Cup Quarter final at Ashton gate, similar feeling of turning up expecting to lose and pulling off an incredible upset.
