Euro 2020(21)

[Trumo]

Bocelli nailed 'Nessun Dorma' there. World Cup 1990 nostalgia anthem.

[DJLJ]

Chiellini looks about 50 there. Very hard paper route. 

[J-V]

Top anthem the Italian one.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The Italian national anthem is absolutely boss. 

 

Si! 

[Rushies tash]

Can just imagine Usher, standing up and saluting the Italian anthem like Father Jack.

[Jockey]

Evert cunt knows the words to their anthems! 

[Jockey]

And I wouldn't trust Mancini with my Mum! 

[Trumo]

One of the great national anthems being belted out there.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Just carry the fucking ball on the pitch!

[Davelfc]

Fucking ridiculous having a remote control car (advert) bring on the ball. The game is going down the toilet.

[DJLJ]

I want one of those cars. 

[Jairzinho]

Lovely balance to this Italy side, and with Chiesa and Belotti to come off the bench as well.

On the other side of the coin - would you trust your Mum with Mancini?

[Lee909]

For all the great forwards Italy have had over the years they have never really had one that has really produced consistantly with scoring goals at this stage. Riva is still the highest scorer with 35

Pretty dull and one paced though,especially in the middle.

Nope. Nor my Dad! 

[Lee909]

If Insigne was a full size human he would surely have got a big move by now

[Anubis]

Big mistake by Turkey not to go with the legend that is Cenk Tosun up top.

None of them have played the amount of games that players of other countries have (look at their all record cap holders all keepers, defenders and central midfielders). 

 

For most decades they've had a handful of top forwards and rotated them fairly frequently. 

 

I think in Italy they view the idea of a settled team to only really refer to the keepers, defence and midfield.

Probably a fair point but it's strange that none of them seem to be able to cement the position for a few years.  I guess partly having the new kid coming through quickly. 

 

But you'd think a Vialli type would have been in for a good few years as the main focal point with others round him.

One of the best midfields in the competition, for me. 

 

And not one single Italian will care if they are dull.

Turkey's kit is made by Nike and uses 2 shades of red that actually look like red, not orange or pink depending on the light. They CAN do it, but with us they chose not to.

Sitter

But only if the manager wanted that type of striker. They're incredibly systems based.

Give up being arsed by kits years ago. 

They aren't made for adult fans, just the kids and Instagram whoppers who want to be seen in the new modern shite
