Tonight's football

Post by Spijed » Fri Jun 11, 2021 6:50 pm

So let the games commence.

Turkey v Italy.

Can't see anything other than an Italian victory. With Roberto Mancini they could do very well.

I’ll be watching the VAR decisions with interest. Hopefully it sets a very strong precedent, which can only help the Premier League, because we’ve definitely cocked it up thus far.

Yes it's finally here at long last, I wasn't aware of how well Italy had been going under Mancini 27 games unbeaten, and they've won their last 8 without conceding, that's very Italian like isn't it.

2-0 Italy tonight, and they could well be a dark horse later in the tournament.

16,000 in the ground tonight which is better than an empty stadium, and it looks a good atmosphere judging by the TV pics, 3,000 visiting fans from Turkey also which always adds to the party.

Let's hope tonight starts a months festival of football as we all need a tonic after a tough last 15 months.

Looked like he was miming, which would be disappointing. Still brings goosebumps.

I wonder if they'd charge the going rate for "looking after your car mate" or would it be less for a smaller one?

Perhaps they are using it correctly and only intervening where there’s an obvious blunder. Wouldn’t THAT be refreshing?

A collision on the edge of the box. Pundits will probably look at it at half time

You can’t be offside from a corner (or goal kick or throw in)
