Chadli coming on to save Belgium

ah well, maybe not

Cristante? What?

Of all the years where Italy had Strikers just dripping out of their hands... they have a team that is stuck with Immobile 

 

Yeah, must really be awful to rely on last year's European Golden Boot winner...

He's like the Italian Danny Ings, good at a mid-table team but useless at the top level. Probably why he failed at Dortmund.

If only he played for a mid table team, not relegation fodder

Pelle was god at St Mary’s 

Yeah, but he's like 40 now. 

[enigmatic]

Tbf Immobile was actually good against Turkey. Which is not something anyone's likely to say about his performance today 

[GunmaN1905]

Half of them were penalties. 

And others that weren't were first time shots or headers.

As soon as he starts thinking about it, things go downhill.

Having watched him in this tournament even if you took the penalties out I would be shocked if you told me he'd scored 18 goals in a season.

[EnterUsernameHere]

KDB's touch has been surprisingly sloppy at times this half.

Still can't see Belgium scoring if he's not heavily involved in it though.

[GunmaN1905]

Spinazzola injured, took him long enough.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Uh oh.

[Nad]

That could be a snapped tendon or something :/

[AK22]

Dropping like flies now

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

milking that injury now

He's had chronic knee issues, can't string a season together.

[DJ]

Looks like a really bad one. Achilles tendon?

[Marius_R]

Judging by Spinazzola's reaction, that's his tournament over. 

[Pukey]

He knew straight away it was a bad one. Hope it's not serious for him but the way he's reacted makes it seem his tournament is definitely done.

[Haguey]

Shame for him if he misses a potential final, he's been great.

[Weezer]

Absolute disaster for Italy, Spinazzola off and Berardi coming on  

[GunmaN1905]

Fan favorite Berardi coming on.

I believe that he's  one of those players, who only will play well in his homecountry. He failed totally in both Germany and Spain, while being a goalmachine in the Serie A.

 

Another reason for his failure at Dortmund was that our team had the worst season in ages - nothing was working and we were 17th at the winter break  

 

[Nad]

Real shame, he's been one of the stars of the tournament. Redefining the inside wing back role

[Haguey]

I hope Italy's Emerson is better than Chelsea's Emerson.

Hard to be worse than Immobile today.

[Coulthard's Jaw]

Match getting a bit messy now, suits Italy.

Italians in general don't play well in other countries. Not just limited to Immobile. I'd be wary of buying any Italian player if I was a foreign club

[Orzelek]

Spinazzola  

 

A shame, as he's had a brilliant tournament so far

Never underestimate this Euro.

Not really helped them tonight though has it.

[TM]

didn't need the cameras following the guy when he's in tears

go and find somebody in the crowd

[DJ]

Yeah, let's zoom in on an injured player being stretchered off the pitch. Great TV

This aged well. 

[Nad]

Some of you lot would have been whinging at showing Gazza's tears at Italia 90. Grow a backbone

[EnterUsernameHere]

Imagine that went in

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

why? no doubt he's injured, but he was standing one yard from the sideline. They could have easily treated him off the pitch.

[GunmaN1905]

Almost goal of the tournament.

[DJ]

Doku may be on the losing side (so far) but I think a MoM award wouldn't go amiss

Forgot to use the dark side of the force to bend the ball.

[Haguey]

Someone is gonna drop £40 million on Doku aren't they. Perfect Leicester signing, probably

You want to see the German girl again instead?

He was NOT 1 yard away from the line

Daka and Doku in the same window?

[Astafjevs]

Not a fan of sitting on a 2-1 with the players that are out there. More proactive please

[Carambau]

I say it again ... Wooden Generation.

[Weezer]

I wish referees would stop being conned by defenders just flopping to the floor whenever they feel any pressure from an attacker.

Every player that played against Turkey looked good.

[Orzelek]

Doku is apparently still so relatively unknown that if you go to wikipedia and type Doku, you're automaticly directed to a page about some Japanese wrestler
