    Only one team playing as a team. Belgium doing a lot of dribbling past two in midfield only to stumble against the usual resolute Italian defence.

    This is an Italy team without their best player, Verratti, too.

    They might not be a bad bet to go far.

    I can see Belgium scoring.
    it is the managers job to get them playing as a unit.
    I think during the 2nd half, things will be different.

    They are showing a lot more pride and passion Italy, sometimes that's all you need if you have a bit of talent to go with it

    Just got back in from watching the Sweden game at a mates house. Not a great result for them really but they had a real go once they'd gone behind. Brady looked good for Ireland.

    It'll be up hill for Sweden now. Most of my Swedish mates were targeting the Irish game for a win. Serves 'em right for playing everything through Zlatan....

    Darmian is the weak link in this team. If they had a decent left back and a striker they'd look pretty good.

    End to end stuff.

    Lukaku should've scored, then a superb save by Courtois.

    And Marchisio. Taking 2 starters - not squad players - out of any team's single unit and it has an impact.

    Italy would 3-0 if not for Courtois. Excellent game though.

    Bummers has Conte got a syrup or a good weave?
