lichtie23 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Great start for my 18/1 bet on the Italians to win it all. I thought they looked very decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Belgium have 2 highly rated EPL sand dancing wingers. The rest of the team is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I thought it was to hide a tattoo Nope, a few years back one of his sleeves got torn off in a game and he played really well. So he kept doing it on purpose cause he's a bit superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Wilmots That's what happens when you hand the job to the Ally McCoist of your country. An absolute charlatan. Really, given Belgium will still cruise past the two pub teams in the group, they're as well binning Wilmots now and give a competent manager the gig with an eye on the knockout stages. It's their only realistic chance of winning a major tournament and they don't stand a chance with that clown in the dugout. A job well done for Conte and Italy. Hummels and Boateng aren't even close to Juventus' BBC combination. Hummels wouldn't even warm their bench ahead of the backup they signed from Empoli or some other outfit. It's a position that they're insanely strong in while Hummels is more than a bit pish. Ooft, VikingTON on the whisky tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Based on the evidence we've seen tonight Belgium could struggle to get out the groups. Fancy Ireland to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ooft, VikingTON on the whisky tonight Can't believe he called Hummels pish. And Belgium lost a stuffy game to a team just as good as them in Argentina at the WC and tonight they again could've easily taken something from tonight's game if Lukaku didn't have such a mare and Origi kept his eyes open.

Michael W Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I really enjoyed that. Deserved win for an impressive Italy, but Belgium weren't out of it until the last minute. Lukaku was absolutely shite and I'd be surprised if he actually managed to register a double-digit number of touches. Possibly even worse a striker's performance than the one Harry Kane mustered on Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The best play of the game has to go to Eder for me. Bear hugging the Belgian guy to the ground, getting booked for it and punting the ball into the stand. Tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear hugging the Belgian guy to the ground, getting booked for it and punting the ball into the stand. Tremendous. It was a like a semi-violent version of Peter Kay's "Ave IT" advert. Brilliant. I liked Chiellini's better though, the moment he got skinned everyone in the stadium knew what was coming. Italy were superb, although they didn't have to be against a bunch of pea-hearted sand dancers. Lukaku was horrific, De Bruyne appeared to have suffered some sort of head knock which made him forget he was a professional football, and Fellaini has been a fucking fraud for years. I hope they finish with no points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ooft, VikingTON on the whisky tonight Stick to making up yet more of your Walter Mitty tales champ: the adults are talking in this forum. Can't believe he called Hummels pish. I called Hummels a wee bit pish; which he is. If you want a central defender that looks in complete control for eighty-five minutes before routinely shipping goals against quality opposition, go for Hummels. If you actually want the best defenders in the world, look no further than that Italy/Juve line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a terrific player but I'd have Bonucci ahead of him every time. Boateng as well probably. I think Italy must have been training twice as much as any other team as that was terrific. When the work done on the training ground is obvious when watching a match then you know it's top notch. I think they'll struggle if they go 1-0 down in a game though.

Not saying you're wrong but can you name these mistakes? Also I would say that Italian defence are the best back line defensively in international football but they still should have conceded two goals tonight. Got lucky because of some terrible Belgian finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
