I presume this has already been answered here but are Italy still through if they lose? I thought I heard the commentator say that
Day 11 | Albania vs Spain | Croatia vs Italy

my first world cup. got my dad to stick a 10er on italy to win it
Yeah. Did someone just text you this because if so it was maybe me
Depends on results elsewhere but the 4 best performing third-placed teams go through. So you just need to do better than 2 (there are six groups). As it stands Italy are definitely ahead of Hungary (goal difference) and if England win tomorrow are guaranteed to be better than the third place team in that group too.
Lamine Yamal with some fecking touch
Is it just me or is international football much lower quality than it used to be?
Calafiori is so so good.
Depends on other results. They're already in a better position than Hungary if it stays like this.
Argh fair enough mate. So you don’t just have normal bbc one and bbc two?
Not sure it’s the right tournament to complain about it, some cracking games so far
If Italy finished 3rd, are they one of the 3rd place teams that could face England in the last 16?
100%. Look at the players on teams like Italy vs the 90s.
Also it's no longer the pinnacle of the game. Elite club football has overtaken it in terms of quality.
Increasing the number of teams in big tournaments hasn't helped either.
I don't mean in terms of entertainment. I just mean overall quality.
Their goal showing we're actually quite decent when we play.
We were petrified until their goal unfortunately...
Wow what a miss...

Doesn’t it seem mental that Modric once played for Spurs? Such a classy player.
Weird too that he was 26 when he signed for Real Madrid. Feels like he’s been there forever

More Teams in it than before, otherwise, not really.
If England win tomorrow Italy are through, and if England bottle it they're still through as long as Georgia doesn't beat Portugal.
And they could also go through if both games in group E are won by enough goals. Plenty of opportunities.
Time wasting against the Italians. Glorious.
Scamacca has been one of the worst players of the tournament.
No, winner of group C plays third place from D, E or F.
This will mean England qualify tonight.
Thanks!
Where has 8 minutes come from? I don't recall any major stoppages.
Your first world cup? Jesus, I'm getting old. They say I doesn't hurt, but it does. Physically and mentally. And suddenly you're an old fart raving about how those young people know nothing about Italian football and that they were a force "back in the day".my first world cup. got my dad to stick a 10er on italy to win it
VAR pen check is the only thing I can think of.
I imagine if both Belgium and Romania win their games in group E, then that will see Italy through
Italy time wasting in the first half is some 4D chess.
Crap fans throwing things at the players.
Not a very good ref
Croatia are so dreadfully boring to watch.
Some of the final balls are just bizarre. See better standard at Sunday league.
Club football is better than ever and makes international football worse by comparison
Though yes, it's also a bit lower quality right now I think
Fine Croatia €500,000 for littering.
France through to the next round. Confirmed.
Oh my god
1-1
Italians
Italy equalise in the last minute! Scenes.
WHAT A FINISH!!
wow
