pearcey_90 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Turkey have been under par, but people will not give Italy the full credit for making them look so under par. Pressure has been relentless from word go, not allowing Turkey any time to lift their heads on the ball. Wont see many if any, opening game performances like this in terms of energy and pressure. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no idea if that old creaking defence is any good against, y'know, teams that enter the opposition half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Donnarumma, Spinazzola and Berardi are all in my fantasy team... but I predicted a 2-1 Italy win. I want an Italy clean sheet... but I also want Turkey to score. I'm so conflicted right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but I think Italy would wipe the floor with them (and Switzerland) if they play like this again. Turkey haven't been good, but too many people are overlooking how intense Italy have been. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
