RUSSEL85 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Turkey are a decent side these days, maybe not quite 2002 semi finals side but expect them to ruffle a few feathers. That’s 4-0 to the Italians then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 This should be a really good opening game. Two good teams playing in one of the greatest cities in the world. I suspect most people, bookies and pundits fancy Italy, but Turkey should provide excellent opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheddarReds Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Glad to see Locatelli force his way into the national team for the Euro's and get a start today.

Baba Yaga Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Can't believe I'm saying this but the opening ceremony has been the best bit so far, still been a good watch but need a goal. Usually I dislike the possession ball side but some of Italians passing has been enjoyable to watch. Turkey set up to defend and have done well at that so far, would be nice to see them score first but that seems very unlikely, think they will get tired and Italy to break them down and win this comfortably.

bcfcredandwhite Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Loved the opening ceremony. I’m no opera fan but I remember the Pavarotti version in 1990 making the back of my neck tingle and this did the same. Brilliant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
