Albania was undefeated in the qualifiers and qualified as first. Did you watch France match vs Austria a few hours ago? She doesn't know how she scored either. France that looked like a headless rooster against a mediocre Austria, but in its mediocrity almost deserved the draw. Other teams are playing really bad. At least Italy dominated its game. Spain Italy will be a good match and its not the final, so whoever wins matters little really. Hopefully it will be fun to watch!

I have never seen two centerbacks move up in Italian history, from a 17 year old. Stupid Americans. We hit the post. You are not even Italian juice head.

Nobody is saying it but I think the second half was a squad management. They could have pushed as in the first half, but given the physical shape of the players, he preferred not to. If they missed all those chances in the first half, Maybe it wasn't to be so they went on to a tournament management mode. No crazy running and hasty passes anymore.

Viva España !!!

Marco and the talking heads try to spin this as "nervy" for Italy. This was actually a dominating performance from the Italians. Albania barley tried to press or get the ball back. Talking about Albanians parking the Bus strategy doesnt get the same clicks i guess

The team will be charging depending on the opponents. And what a cliché has been the analysis by those people. Didn't see much quality in the England or Belgium games and even Spain was not so fantastic 3-0 was just too much. And how do you expect a team to play 100% quality for 90 minutes.
