    Italy looking very strong so far, also a great record going into these euros.

    Semi assuming both win group. Which you'd imagine they will (Italy certainly).

    Be a bit of blow if they do, although obvs good for the likes of England if they want to get further.

    Two best teams in it I reckon.

    Although Chiellini is so good losing him could be a blow.

    We'll see.

    So far yeah id agree. Portugal looked strong too but not as good as the other two defensively.

    It's **** trying to work out the proper routes with this 3rd placed bollocks.

    Holland look to have a good run to the semis though.

    I don't think they're all that (def worse than Portugal) but unless they're really unlucky with 3rd place qualifiers (Could get group F) then their ko games are likely:

    Last 16: Czech/Croatia/Sweden/Slovakia
    Quarters: Wales/Russia/Finland

    The Italians seem far more entertaining than they usually are.

    It'll be interesting to see how they fare against better teams but I think they've got a bit of everything. Solid with flair and fast paced attacks. Good team spirit with no huge egos as far as I can see either.

    They were my pre tournament picks and I'm gonna stick with him. Think Mancini a very good manager too.
