This game would be a lot better with a less weak ref.
Fair play on booking Rodri though, tbf.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Giving suspensions for 2 yellows is so stupid. No other sport does anything like it.
Rodri getting yellows two games in a row. It's over.
there's a good chance of this ending as the first 0-0 of the tournament.
It would be something if this ends up as 0-0
and Italy have white shorts. I’m pretty sure they could wear white shorts.
Dominant first half from Spain, but with nothing to show for so far.
Feels like a 0-0 kind of game
Neither team taking their chances.

Can't decide if Spain is so good going forward or Italy so good at defending. Weird game.
Nico Williams show, would give everything to get him at United. Imagine Garnacho & him running at defence.
Just started watching. Not surprised to see Spain being their usual diving, crying, acting whiners.
Ye I suppose when your teams that good at passing and play as a team that connects well on the pitch then you don’t really need a clinical goalscorer. You always find ways to get near the opposition net and other players chip in with goals. City won the league without a ST.
Really bad tournament. Every game I've watched has been dull as feck.
Completely different type of player to Totti, Del Piero, Baggio and Cassano. Apples and oranges.
Of course he has to has a wider all round game than most of those, because he has to be proficient in every aspect of the game as he’s central to both phases.
But this really isn’t about making comparisons to previous players, it’s about saying Italy don’t have an elite technician, and I don’t think that’s true. Barella is an elite technician, just not as elite as Roberto fecking Baggio; but who is?
I also think he’s better than Verratti in almost every way.
Both true. Italy's CB pairing I should precise
That’s also Italy. Their cheats like they was against us in the last euros final.
I just realized my username relates with his.You missed out on Albania vs Croatia then
Sure. They can win, but to argue that Germany would beat Spain “handedly” is a stretch in my view.
I don’t like either of these two teams, but I have been more impressed by Spain than by Germany. If they meet, it will be an interesting game, and anything can happen.
Imagine a tri nation between Spain/Italy/Portugal
A lot easier when they had Inzaghi, Toni, vieri etc up front. Now they have Scamacca
Stop watching England then
Did you watch the England game and nothing else?
I think Italy look in control at the back. Dont have much going the other way, hardly anybody able to hold on to the ball when its pinged forward
Could probably bring on Raspadori and see if they can bring more combinations going forward. Right now Scamacca isnt doing enough

The point was about elite technicians, there is no reason to not name different type of players. And Barella isn't one so that's pretty simple.
Technically Verratti was miles ahead of Barella.
Yep. Should sack and SOS someone in to salvage the side.
Miles is being generous to Barella.
In your opinion.
Bad half from us. It seems clear Spain are a couple of levels ahead of us.
At this point our target should just be finishing 2nd in this group by not losing vs Croatia next and then defeat 2nd-placed group A team (Switzerland?) in the Ro16.
Then no matter who we'd get in the QF, we are inferior to at least 5-6 teams in the EURO

The England games have been shite but I've been pleasantly surprised otherwise.
Absolutely hate this rule. I understand wanting a clean tournament but the suspension so soon is annoying.
Atalanta are playing great football with him up front.A lot easier when they had Inzaghi, Toni, vieri etc up front. Now they have Scamacca
We d need commercial breaks like American Football for all the time they re not playing.
I actually can't get over it, he's so out of his depth. There are probably multiple posters on the caf that could do a better job than this NPC.
Not sure he is a standout performer at Atalanta at all
Who cares what other sports do?
Have you only watched the England games?
Not many actually, watched both England, both Denmark, France, Netherlands and Portugal, and now watching Spain vs Italy.
Lost the attention in all those games.
He's right
