Euro 2020(1)

[Szumi]

Oh Vargas! That was awful. Swiss have taken awful pens.

[Bobfoc]

Shame. I was very much rooting for a Swiss victory.

[Szumi]

Feel awful for Sommer. His team really let him down with some terrible penalties.

[Baddar]

I'm glad Spain went through. It'll be a better semi-final, no doubt. 

[The Kraig]

So sad for the Swiss. What a painful way to be dumped out.

[Chris2K]

Unlucky to Switzerland, this match was nothing but bad luck throughout.

 

Meanwhile... Forza Azzurri.

[Cymbols]

Sommer was class all game, and Simon was excellent in that shootout 

[Adam]

Switzerland were so, so unlucky. Spain for me will struggle to get to the final, they don't have an edge to them and have made a right meal of getting through each round so far.

[Chris2K]

Lukaku vs. Chiellini 5 years ago would be a great contest. Lukaku vs. Chiellini in 2021 is only going one way.

SET PIECES. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE.

And it's offside, of course it is. 

[Colly]

It was offside at least twice, possibly more...

[Chris2K]

Not saying it wasn't, merely noting my disappointment.

[Baddar]

KDB is something else.

[Bobfoc]

Too good.

[Szumi]

That's a soft penalty, but can't see VAR overturning it. There's more than enough of a forearm to give it, so it won't get overturned for clear and obvious.

Yepp, confirmed. And game on. 

[Colly]

Blatant pen, got completely done by his pace.

[Szumi]

What an amazing accidental goal line clearance!

[Colly]

Belgium committing far too many daft fouls, making things easy for Italy to see it out.

[The Kraig]

I'm really impressed at how balanced players are when they are running, stopping, reacting with their arms flat at their sides or held behind them to avoid handballs. This tournament it's been very noticeable.

Honestly expected Belgium to win this and show their quality. Italy consistently prove me wrong about them, I was expecting them to come in highly overrated like Turkey and go out sooner. Any weaknesses they show usually get patched up very quickly and they seem to be able to adapt to anyone.

[Colly]

Refs falling for everything mind, never a foul on the keeper there. Should be about 10 minutes left.

Fuck off Keown.

[Gorka]

Surely the most frustrating way for the Belgian golden generation to go out.
