The Italians are walking up to the Belgians one by one and explaining what they did to their mothers last night.

4 reel idek how Marc Wilmots has this job, 4 years with this group of players ought to be enough to drill them into working order surely

fwiw LJ the Cypriot ppl i have been speaking to this week (am currently holidaying not far from Pahpos) have been distinctly unimpressed with everyone, cept for the Irish, the French and the Germans
idk what this tells us about Cypriots generally, tbh i think they are collectively bitter that their name keeps getting brought up as evidence of the immense togetherness of this Wales squad and the next-level footbballing ability of Gareth Bale

oh sweet, we're in Limassol, will be in Paphos in 2 days. some cypriots were watching italy/belgium quite intently, got the feeling they were rooting for the italians? idk
― imago, Monday, 13 June 2016 21:38 (eight years ago) link
some (largely hopeless?) spirit of southern-European togetherness perhaps?
am way out of my comfort zone commenting on such things as i'm not particularly worldly or well-travelled, but it does strike me that there is a certain fellow-feeling between yr Cypriots, yr Sicilians, yr Neapolitans and Irish (who i guess are southern European in every important sense other than geographically) which might lead to a certain kind of automatic disdain for the naturally dispassionate and arrogant northern Europeans, scared of themselves and of what they might achieve if they were to really cut loose. except for the germans of course, everyone fears the germans
idk these are somewhat drunken impressions formed over somewhat liquid dinners

eh, the only way a guy could possibly be top of the predictor league at this stage is if he was a pessimistic bastard anticipating constant low-scoring bores; better to be optimistic and wrong imo

Despite the 2-0 result, Wilmots was critical of Antonio Conte’s approach to the game.“Italy specifically played on the counter-attack. They did not play real football and when faced with everyone sitting back, it becomes difficult.

yeah well look lads if anyone had thought to ask a Villa fan what happens when you let Ciaran Clark join in we could've told you
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 13 June 2016 17:32 (Yesterday) Permalink
Clark well out of his depth alright. But weve nursed worse centre halves through tournaments before
― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Monday, 13 June 2016 17:49 (Yesterday) Permalink
own goal aside, i thought Clark played well yesterday
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Tuesday, 14 June 2016 12:31 (eight years ago) link
own goal and attempted own goal.
i thought the whole team was p good but got murdered down the left flank - i would be very worried about what italy will do down that side if we are as narrow against them. a really stupid panic after (our) goal too. like we were scared of winning.

Suspect the salt cod classico this evening will be better but the Austria midfield looks promising. Great early hit from Alaba just wide of the post.
