He doesn't dive cheat and squeal as well as some of the others.

I'm enjoying this. Nice tempo, good ref.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:01 pm

Pretty meh game, Italy 1 shot all half? I normally think this ref is quite good, he's been weak as **** though, constantly blowing his whistle.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:02 pm

Spain troubling Italy , can they find that cutting edge?
You would expect Italy to start going forward with more purpose

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:03 pm

Decent game yes it's 0-0, but both sides are playing some good stuff, the only thing lacking from both is the killer touch, especially by Spain who on possession and chances created probably should be ahead.

This ref is top class isn't he, and if he doesn't get the final I'll be surprised.

Kicks like DonnaSumma.

Anyone else think this is going to pens?

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:11 pm

No, a goal will come.

If we do beat Denmark, we'll have our work cut out to even survive against either of these two.

Oh aye that's no way in dispute.

Maybe we could do a Burnley though and shut em down

Great game so far

Great finish

Great strike. No stopping that

Great goal is that

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:19 pm

games really livened up 2nd half, Italy offered more going forward

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:19 pm

Going to take a good side to stop Italy winning the Euro's

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:21 pm

Love a Spain equalizer just to make them run another 30 mins.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:21 pm

Morata has some world class wet look gel!!

Do they send him up for corners to try and reflect the spotlights into the keepers eye to blind him???

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:21 pm

What a miss!

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:22 pm

Spain just miss a sitter

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:23 pm

What a miss, that kid Pedri is some player btw

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:24 pm

Positive for England that the Italian defence looks a bit creaky

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:32 pm

I like Chiellini but he isn’t a guy who may relish playing our quick attacking midfielders **

** yes, I know I’m getting ahead of myself but what’s the point not doing?

No, this 2nd half is what I was expecting, brilliant game now. That first half Italy had 1 shot at goal from the left back, warmed into some game though

He also keeps going on about England playing the winner, has he forgotten we have still to play our game.

Extra time and penalties - come on.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:49 pm

Ref has been superb again

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:50 pm

On the back of today's game I'd rather us play Italy. I think Spain will probe England too much and keep the ball far too easily against us. Looking good that these teams are going to extra time though. Must be tough for the older players now.

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:50 pm

Mama Mia!

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:51 pm

Italy look out on their feet desperate for penalties

He's been excellent. From the get go he made sure he wasn't going to fall for the cheating. I hope premier league referees take note.

He's been the worst thing about this game.
Only time I agreed with him was when he said "I got it wrong about the subs"

Why do Spanish players hold their ear/face when they fall over and no part of an Italians body been anywhere near

...

Bring back Ashley Barnes shithousery

at least it honest shithousery

Barlickclaret · Post by **Barlickclaret** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:53 pm

Great game, 2 good teams, but extra time won't do the Italians any good.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:53 pm

Hope Spain put Traore on in extra time. Love to see him running at the Italian defence.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:55 pm

Well I got the ET part right anyway, and although England still have to play, that can't do the winner of the other semi final any harm.

2 excellent finishes for the goals, but Spain do miss some sitters don't they.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Tue Jul 06, 2021 9:56 pm

Spain really want this. Italy’s team spirit is enormous.

The final is still 5 days off and this is the first semi final, don’t think an extra 30 mins will make much difference, especially as only just over half will have played the full 120 mins.

Apart from the chance of injury, not that I’d wish that on anyone

I’m torn. Would prefer to play Italy if we get through, but don’t want to see them win this.
