"i've heard good things about him, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on in the Premier League" - Danny Murphy on multiple-Scudetto-winning, record-points-totalling, unbeaten-season-managing, three times Italian coach of the year Antonio Conte

Happy for Chiellini.

de gea did that thing of not having his feet planted when the free kick was struck, maybe cost him a fraction of a second?
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 16:37 (eight years ago) link
deserved it
how is murphy so annoying after such a short reign? he's like lawro but in a younger man it's even harder to tolerate. he speaks like every word costs him a fiver.

oh man Luca Vialli <3
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 16:50 (eight years ago) link
the in ball to whichever italian frwd player posts up has been so easy today. just so simple to play it thru/over the spain midfield.

Fabregas screwing over Pelle
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:12 (eight years ago) link
he speaks like every word costs him a fiver.
lol, beautifully stated
he's definitely found his rhythm very quickly
damn that would have been a great goal
― ogmor, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:13 (eight years ago) link
Gosh, ref certainly not against Spain this second half
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:16 (eight years ago) link
the refereeing in this tournament is worse than any i can remember. they've lost any and all sense of what a fair tackle is.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Monday, 27 June 2016 17:18 (eight years ago) link
or what a foul is.
2002 surely the gold standard of wild refereeing
― ogmor, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
I think it's been surprisingly good overall
(not watching this game though)
― Number None, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
was it chile who p much destroyed spain at the last WC? italy doing the same here.
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:22 (eight years ago) link
Holland 5-1 at WC. Spain are weak, clueless.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:25 (eight years ago) link
Not at all impressed by Morata
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:26 (eight years ago) link
no i didn't think that was a destruction, that was a p even game iirc it was spain's 2nd game where they got a chasingxp
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:26 (eight years ago) link
You're right, it was Chile
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:27 (eight years ago) link
also most of this team won the last euros so wouldn't call them weak.
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:27 (eight years ago) link
chile were just excellent in that game. spain have become inconsistent, esp defensively, but they can still occasionally put together moves that are beyond nearly all other teams
― ogmor, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:31 (eight years ago) link
Tbf it's mostly because of Italy being v good.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:33 (eight years ago) link
lol conte
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:33 (eight years ago) link
Love Buffon
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:34 (eight years ago) link
Would pay good money to see conte and simeone in a no-holds-barred fight to the death
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
you'd still be there 6 days later
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
although i suspect with simeone they'd be no escalation, he'd give it all out desperation from the off.
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
what's happening? spain hammering on the door, italy in control, or somewhere in between?
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
Spain bossing possession and territory but Italy looking assured
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
italy well on top first 65 mins, spain on top-ish since, italy still comfortable imo
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
remember when the press were crowing about mourinho's coup of signing pedro under the noses of man utd? he's been shit since.
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:43 (eight years ago) link
Pedro right on cue
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:45 (eight years ago) link
Buffon you legend
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:47 (eight years ago) link
Pelleeeeeeeee
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link
rip Spain
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:49 (eight years ago) link
great game
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link
exact repeat from start to finish of the belgium game. thought spain were decent 2nd half but italy have put 2 terrific performances in against 'proper' teams
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:51 (eight years ago) link
have they got germany next?
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:52 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, Germany Italy!

2006 revisited
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:53 (eight years ago) link
GROSSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope y'all enjoyed that cause I'm p. sure that what comes next is gonna be a bit of a slog
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
My predictor says 1-2 to Iceland. I've bottled it already so might just take a bit 'o a gamble
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
yeah think i'll give it a miss thanks
― pandemic, Monday, 27 June 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
oh ffs
