How the fuck can Nolito shrug his shoulders at that as if nothing happened?

I've had the pleasure of watching that back 3 live this tournament, they are a beautiful thing to behold. Like Cesar's pretorian guard.


Do you think it is the next tactical switch of the next few seasons?

I do seems to nulify the 4231 press superbly

Chelsea are going to be a different animal next season.

Fabregas and Iniesta can't deal with Giaccherini and Parolo running behind them.

A damn near perfect half from Italy, but anything can still happen.

Will be interesting to see if Del Bosque makes some changes.

Thankfully I don't think Chelsea have the personnel to play this way next year.

If Conte keeps picking Terry then you're right, they haven't. Zouma would probably thrive in that system alongside two new CBs though.

Puts Belgium's performance against Italy into perspective.

Not sure if they have the midfield for it either.

So fucking happy at the way we're playing, easily the better side. We'd be 4 nil up if it weren't for De Gea.

I'm just worried about the way Spain will react now. I reckon we'll play on the counter. Could work well or possibly invite too much pressure on ourselves.

Wait until you see the tactical masterclass from Woy later
