Second Round Day 3 - Italy v Spain, England v Iceland

[Jamturk]

As you will notice i didn't comment on what they'd done the previous half-hour, only what they will do for the next hour post goal/lead.

Noted

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

****PROFILING ALERT****

Because he's a Latin footballer.

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.

 

[DIEHARD]

I like Conte ... good Manager and coach... so fucking intense

And thooooose eyes... my my my

 

[werty]

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

 

[Marty]

Holy moley Italy aren't letting up just yet!

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Great football from Italy.

 

[tiger666]

De Gea is amazing

 

[Marty]

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.

 

[ohtottenham!]

Italy comfortably better.

 

[yankspurs]

It's offensive how ugly Spain's kits are. Can they be allowed to change at half? Please?

 

[Setzthree]

Love the way Italy are playing.

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.

 

[Syn_13]

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

Not sure if they have the midfield for it either.

Especially when you consider that the poorest Spanish midfielder today is a mainstay in the Chelsea midfield.
