Euro 2020 Italy v Spain - BBC1 20:00

[ibrox1975]

Rio Ferdinand

What an absolute wanker

Seconded
He’s off his head and it’s arseholes like him that make the vast majority of Scottish people want England to lose
I have nothing against English people or their players or managers but Rio - arsehole

 

[SDF]

This game yet again showing the Ferdinand dilemma as a pundit.

Earlier, he was excellent breaking down Italy's goal and the mistakes made from a defensive point of view. He's actually really good at explaning the whole defensive side of things.

But then he acts lile a total fanny post match and completely belittles those two teams who just played a cracking game of football as cannon fodder for England. A pompous arse.

 

[Socrates]

%^*& it, hope Denmark hump them now jus so it will make Rio cry.
Italy that are unbeaten in 13-14 games won't be full of confidence like England are, fud

 

[Main Stand]

Rio has the same sort of confidence @erskine bear has when he puts a bet on, hopefully its the same outcome as most of Erskine's bets

Tonight’s main loser was Chiesa to score and Italy to win in 90. Couldn’t make it up

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Felt for Spain who were excellent, Pedri is unreal. But Italy have that hardness, that toughness and desire. You'll need to rip that trophy from their hands.

Unbeaten in 33 games

 

[bluetonic]

The problem with Morata at that level is he misses more than he scores

 

[Pentasa]

Nothing to fear there for England.

Thank You Rio for taking some time out of your punditry on BBC1 to post on FF

 

[Weesam]

What is Ferdinand on?

Usually pan bread duck billed tit

No different to posters on here who were saying Italy will wipe the floor with England.

He reckons that England would beat both of them,
"...but let's beat Denmark first".
Spain or Italy, no problem, but Denmark ...
Rio's a tit.

Unbeaten in 33 games

2 off the record

They are unbeaten on 30+ games.

Forza Italia!

No bother! I'll be back on Sunday to gloat!

 

[HinshieBluenose]

i think its pretty much a given that england has just won the damn thing, i just can't see england losing tomorrow and the italians will be absolutely tired

Italy now have 117 hours to recover before the final at 8pm on Sunday. How will they be anymore tired than England/Denmark, both of whom could play 120 minutes and have 24 less hours to recover?

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Ferdinand should know better, should they beat Denmark then Italy will be an entirely different proposition altogether.

They have been magnificent and are simply not losing games.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

The media had Italy as some plucky underdog side. Absolute disrespect. Italy are monsters in big tournaments

 

[top_cat]

No bother! I'll be back on Sunday to gloat!

Bookmarked.

 

[carlosapicella]

Was that the Schumacher assault on Batiston game?

Yes

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Nothing to fear there for England.

I genuinely don’t know how you can say that?

England have been average and that’s being kind.

 

[Blueranger45]

I genuinely don’t know how you can say that?

England have been average and that’s being kind.

beat Ukraine who are one of the top teams in Europe

 

[AllyRFC]

England Vs Italy final with the Italians taking it home then?

[A kind of blue]

Was in Rome 2006 when they won the WC. Never seen anything like it!

You sure it wasn't just unbearably arrogant and entitled of them and their pundits/media to celebrate their national team winning something?

Dont go against England because of one foolish pundit feck we had one or two saying we could win it!

 

[Socrates]

They are unbeaten on 30+ games.

Was a bit angry with that post, think a got it mixed up with the clean sheet record they had and lost few games ago. Haha

 

[Socrates]

Let's be honest tho, it's not just one. Danny Murphy was at it earlier in the game an aw

 

[Business_Bear]

Glad for Mancini and Italy but wouldn't have been disappointed if Spain got through.

Rio Ferdinand is a complete throbber.

 

[TheDerryend]

You sure it wasn't just unbearably arrogant and entitled of them and their pundits/media to celebrate their national team winning something?

Amazing how the rules change when another country goes mental at a victory.

 

[douzpwa]

This has been an enjoyable tournament that was like a final there! Hope next two games are as enjoyable as that footballing spectacle?

 

[academical]

We certainly saw Italian vulnerability tonight. Having carried all before them in the previous rounds, they had to concede possession and territory to Spain, who would have won if they had a decent attacking threat.

Once forced to substitute most of their first choices from middle to front, Italy looked much less impressive, unlikely to win in open play, and relied on the penalties lottery.

I thought Italy were stick-ons if they got to the final. Now I’m not so sure.

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Rio Ferdinand has lost the plot completely

 

[carlosapicella]

B

Beautiful emotion in my house here. Absolutely fantastic man.

Bella Bella,italia italia forza italia

 

[TheDerryend]

Let's be honest tho, it's not just one. Danny Murphy was at it earlier in the game an aw

So what? What do you want him to say, f**k it, no point in us turning up.

Away and complain to the bbc ffs

 

[Ianis 4 the 55]

Had a math teacher demonstrating in a half hour that 2+2 makes 3. He could be on something.

 

[Moz]

I’m not your old “anyone but England” but I need Rio tears be it tomorrow or Sunday.

 

[55 and counting]

I genuinely don’t know how you can say that?

England have been average and that’s being kind.

Not lost a goal. Coming right into form and Kane finding form right in time for business end of tournament. Personally for me if England get over that semi final mental hurdle they're winning on Sunday.

 

[Socrates]

So what? What do you want him to day, f**k it, no point in us turning up.

Away and complain to the bbc ffs

Am not gawna complain ffs, it's just annoying is all

 

[douzpwa]

Let's be honest tho, it's not just one. Danny Murphy was at it earlier in the game an aw

No its not been hearing them over hyping their teams for years its what fans and pundits do here too but they have a good team here who work hard albeit Italy are the favs and rightly so and Denmark cannot be written off either!

 

[theryesider]

Think it’s the easier draw for England if they get there, big Chielini (my spelling) superb loving every minute of it.

 

[el bandido]

Tonight was a great game. Sergio Busquets rolled back the the years and can feel hard done by being on the losing side. Italy showing another side to their game where they can grind out a victory. They’ve been team of the tournament by a distance.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Is all?

I just got a cringe shiver.

Italy have been brilliant this tournament but they have been masters at grinding out victories when required for decades.

 

[Burnbrae]

I must be the only one disappointed in this game so far.

Yes.

 

[TheDerryend]

Am not gawna complain ffs, it's just annoying is all

Why does it annoy you so much though? English footballer gets behind england, hardly worth the upset.

I said earlier in another thread, I have no enemies in england but plenty up here.

 

[Arminius]

They are unbeaten on 30+ games.

33 matches they said post match.

33 !!! At international level.

Aye, nae bother Rio, ya throbber

 

[jackstar]

Chiellini, what a man/player

Great character and winner.

 

[BigTinder86]

I don’t know why but I reckon Spain would hump England. I think England will fancy their chances against Italy.

 

[Burnbrae]

That was such a great game. Feel sorry for the Spanish; didn’t deserve to lose but my faves for the tournament will win it now.
