enigmatic Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Italy putting in a contender for the worst 45 minutes of the tournament there (and I saw the Wales game!).

Yuko Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Austria is structured really well at the back but their attacking isn't that great in terms of quality, but tactically it is a superb transition. Italy lacks the necessary quality to finish the game off, something they could have done from the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cause the refeeres sometimes take into account the spirit of the game also, not only the letters of the laws. It was nothing malicious anyways, Taylor had a good refereeing so far.

Austria have played it brilliantly. Set up well, organised, make sure they are still in the game with half an hour to go. Now it’s opening up and either team can win it. If they been more open from the start they would have been murdered, now they are within touching distance of their biggest result in 40 years. This is what international football is all about. Just amazing drama and tension even if people aren’t tearing up and down notching loads of shots on target. Edited June 26, 2021 by Rob1981 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
