That's a great goal. It's been all Switzerland. They look the much better team.
Round of 16 | Switzerland vs Italy | Germany vs Denmark
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
Swiss have looked more likely to score all game.
Hopefully the game wakes up now.
I've seen some people on Twitter say they should've let Partey go and retained Xhaka for another season, and I think they're absolutely spot on. Would've been great with Rice as well.
I’d rather we played this Italian team than Switzerland. Their nothing special
I was going to post how I genuinely feel sorry for Switzerland, because they play some good football, but struggle to make it count, because of their weak forwards. But luckily I took another sip of my drink before hitting the post button.
Watch Italy look completely different when they need a goal. They'll start making good decisions and their players will look like actual footballers
Let's see if Italy can clean the shite from their underpants and start playing.
Deflection, probably would have went straight at Donarunma. But well deserved goal, Italy have been abysmal.
Ah this is sad to see. What happened to Italy? Used to be full of great players...
the way Italy are playing reminds me of how we were most of last season
Spain stole our souls. Every single little stone we'd managed to add to our foundation, every scrap of confidence and belief, they disintegrated through 10 minutes of Nico Williams runs at Di Lorenzo 
We're broken
We're broken
A well-deserved goal. Italy have zero verticality.
Silly Switzerland. Sitting on 1-0 for no reason. Plenty of goals in it for them if they just continue to play as they were.
Are Italy the new England? Best (performing) league in Europe, yet this NT.
Everyone knows that 2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline though
Mate the way we're playing I'm absolutely not even sure we'll get there...!
I think Switzerland would fancy their chances against England.
Where is Italy's no.5? One of my favorite players this Euros. Like watching a lanky Ayala
Sustaining that rhythm is tough

Mad to think that around 98-2000 Italy could choose from Baggio, Zola, Del Piero, Totti, Inzaghi, Vieri, Signori, Montella, Chiesa up front with great depth in midfield and defense to back that up and this is what they are now.
Especially given there were multiple other countries around with equally stacked squads.

Who retired after 2021 that caused this drop off? Chiellini? Surely a few others?

That’s a good point. You’d have to fancy us against Slovakia though.
Verratti
thanks
Swiss look good. Are they actually good or are Italy just bad?
What happened to spalletti possession based attacking style he used at Napoli? Italy have been dreadful all tournament
Kind of insane that neither of the CMs picked up the run. You could see this goal coming 5 seconds before it happened.
They were decent against Germany
5d chess from the Swiss here!
El Shaarawy a lucky boy there
In PL that can be red
Switzerland toying with the Italian now
Should have been red. Italy playing terribly.
Not even checking that tackle?
Talking about the regular starters in that Euro:
Chiellini retired
Bonucci retired this year
Verratti and Insigne decided to play in two retirement leagues
Jorginho and Immobile have dropped off a lot as well
Spinazzola always injuried.
Italy are unbelievably easy to play through
