GunmaN1905 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Florenzi instead of Darmian, nice. Although he's also right-footed and will play on left side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georginho_juventusygr Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Florenzi instead of Darmian, nice. Although he's also right-footed and will play on left side. Conte should have just used De Sciglio. He's at least used to play on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Conte should have just used De Sciglio. He's at least used to play on the left. Whenever I watched De Sciglio he was mediocre at best. He's also a fullback, like Darmian, while Florenzi is a lot more offensive and can be really dangerous when he goes forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bestbrother Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Pelle scoring that goal was the worst thing for Italy. He is like a donkey with 3 legs on an ice rink.

Astafjevs Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Sweden are MUCH better than v Ireland. They can't afford to lose this, otherwise they go into Belgium having to win really.

GunmaN1905 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I really don't know why Conte left out Bonaventura. He'd be perfect for that left side position. And Eder's been useless for 120mins and there's no signs there will be any improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thengil Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Two teams that push their back line quite high, meaning there's virtually no space in midfield. Since neither team wants to risk losing possession in midfield they mostly hit it long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
