Predictably boring this game
Always a pity when one side is so inferior, they have to kick at everything that moves.
This is going to be a long game.
Apart from the ball
Fecking hell, the winner of this tie has to play the winner of England/Slovakia. Yet another borefest.
Was thinking the exact same thing. Didn't even realize he was still playing for Italy.
Any excuse to post this
Lucky for him that was offside , bur it was a massive miss
I still can't get over how bad this Italy team is. Like, winning Euro 2020 was a shock, and you could argue only 3 or 4 players from this current team would even make that Italian squad.
Every time I see them FK taken it reminds of the Bruno x Martial link up against city.
This pace of this game is set to 'sludge'. Every player seems to have tons of time on the ball and all seem to be taking loads of touches before moving it on.
this will probably be a pretty shit game like any that involves Italy, with Swiss playing well and missing their chances and Italy absorbing everything, but then scoring between 60 - 65. minute and going through.
We're coached worse than England 
And our manager is Spalletti

What a chance...terrrible finish.
Terrible finish from Embolo.
I thought Switzerland would win this game and be the dark horse of the tourney and nothing so far has changed my mind.
Donnarumma will be keeper of the tournament by a mile even if Italy go out today.
Been virtually unbeatable on one v ones.

Massive chance they won't get many like this one.
Embolo is fecking terrible
What the feck is he doing with that finish? Took an absolute age and completely telegraphed that one.

I seem to recall one of your countrymen calling him the best coach of the tournament?!
You're not going to get much better chances than that. Very wasteful!
Not sure he was offside there. Just fecking shoot and never know was decently tight
Still surprises me that once Xhaka actually started to get good, Arsenal let him go
You sound like you've woken up from a dream with some realisation.We're coached worse than England

What a chance. Gotta score that. Was onside
Good save.
How shockingly low Italian football standard is these days!!
I think he needed more time. Like a extra 10 minutes.
Ndoye would be better on the left wing
Switzerland look a really quality team and have completely dominated. This match therefore has 1-0 Italy written all over it.
Chiesa is good though. Hopefully wherever he goes next he manages to stay fit and they play him wide so he can find some consistency and kick on
Update: we still play like a bunch of dudes who just met in the parking lot

Italy are fecking awful. It's like catenaccio, but with shit defenders.
To be fair that's pretty much the case with Fagioli and that's probably where Scamacca was found so you're not far off.
Me! And based on club football he would be! By a landslide!
He's just been unable to get to these players
Embolo chooses today to play like utter shite?
He at least has the excuse of not having the quality players unlike Southgate. But yes it’s a poor look apart from defensive lineWe're coached worse than England
