Euro 2016

[DavidMarrio]

Cracking ball for the Italy goal. Belgium have probably been the better team as well! 

[Baddar]

Oh, Pelle. 

[stokeriño]

Lukaku and Fellaini both stood there and get outjumped for the ball. Good grief.

[Chris2K]

A decent striker scores that 99 times out of a hundred. Evidently a Southampton substitute doesn't count as that.

 

Only Fellaini could win a header against a player a foot shorter whilst also pulverising him.

.....

This is wrong on many levels.

[Kaney]

Really just wanting to see some goals, it's been really slow so far this tourney.

Great goal but I'm still baffled at Vermaelen still existing. Is he still (warming the bench) at Barca?

[Chris2K]

Meh, maybe I'm being harsh, but he should have at least got it on target. My main complaint is the lack of attacking options that Serie A has produced recently.

More like their treatment table.

Commentators on BBC acting like Italy being 1-0 up against Belgium is a bit shock.

... They are Italy, they have been good since like football was invented. It's never a surprise.

You could definitely make the argument a team like Italy should probably have someone of a higher calibre up front perhaps.

[Baddar]

Vialli sounds like he's spent a lot of time in Wales. Maybe it's just me that can hear it. 

[DavidMarrio]

I think Italy are weaker in certain areas then they have been in years but they've got 3 great centre backs in that team and have some decent players in the team as a whole. It's not a shock that they are winning.

Like they said just now it's a team of brilliant individuals vs a team that is a solid unit

Think that sums it up perfectly tbh. This is probably Belgium's golden generation but is it a great team? It's always hard with international football due to the limited amount of time the manager has to work with the players each year  

[Baddar]

The sooner Belgium can shake this "great individuals" tag, the better. They've been a disappointment ever since the 2014 World Cup.

[Chris2K]

Well this is the first time in a while that I wished Jan Vertonghen wasn't so bloody good.

 

Oh sweet Jesus that was close.

 

 

And that's a hell of a save from Courtois. This match is kicking off.

[stokeriño]

Lukaku :/

[Baddar]

Good break but a huge chance missed.

Very good save from Courtois a minute later.

And recently they like this competition, whilst being terrible in the World Cups following their win in 2006.

[Chris2K]

Belgium have really turned it up, on the other hand Candreva is playing like a demon down the right.
