Match Thread Turkey v Italy

[Mr Han]

Italy playing a 4-3-3 and attacking. They got players called Jorginho in their team....

Changed days I'll tell ye.

 

[scott_gers]

Italians really starting to play now, lovely to watch.

 

[Main Stand]

Nice play by Cristante and Jorginho, ball gets played into Spinazola in the box who should shoot but a good tackle.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Football needs to have a look at itself as to why its co-commentators are so poor*

Minus Ally.

 

[Clay Davis]

Golllll

 

[DartfordRSC]

What a goal!!!

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

What a goal

 

[The Golden God]

3-0

Italy having fun now after a howler kick out from the GK.

 

[Sasa-]

An incredibly dominant performance from the Italians

 

[YoungGer97]

What a goal

Italy look very good, Turkey look dreadful

 

[Cavalera]

Wonderful

 

[Damsidebear]

Great goal.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Game over!

 

[WinkieWATP]

3-0 collect collect collect

 

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

What a goal, that was superb

 

[Jelle1880]

Great from Insigne

 

[Bob Belcher]

Spinazzola and Berardi have been excellent

 

[bornabluenose]

Been a couple of levels above Turkey from the start .

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

Great goal that.

Italy will not win this tournament though.

 

[Steeps the Teddy Bear]

Italy impressive to say the least .

 

[Porrohman]

Turkey are fowl
Italy looking decent but I'm sure the Bears would take care of either of them

 

[HowdenEnder]

Lovely goal.

 

[top_cat]

Goalie needs a shoeing.

 

[Marlo Stanfield]

Disaster from the keeper. Needs his baws booted for that

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I realize recency bias exists but I think that's the best goal of all time.

 

[JayDee]

Terrible blunder by the Turkish keeper.

 

[student_loyal]

Turkey are baws

 

[Main Stand]

The most Insigne goal you will ever see.

 

[Scaramanga]

This Turkey is stuffed

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Lovely finish.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Spinazzola and Berardi have been excellent

As have Jorginho, Barella and Locatelli - that’s a strong midfield trio with Veratti still to come in.

Great balance about this Italian side.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

From what I have saw of this tournament so far I would say Italy have been the best team.

 

[Clay Davis]

Spinazzola and Berardi have been excellent

Wasn’t sure about Spinazzola at first as he is clearly very right footed but he’s been excellent to be fair. Berardi too.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Outstanding goal.

It’ll take some beating to top that performance, but if this is the bar that’s been set then we’ve got some brilliant games to look forward to!!

 

[The Golden God]

Good start to the tournament.

 

[Dennistounbear45]

First time Ive seen Insigne, been impressed apart from his miss first half.

Reminds me of myself, a tenacious midget, just better looking and much better at football!

 

[scottie626]

is var in operation?

 

[Main Stand]

Really not exaggerating when I say that is the goal he scores the most, ridiculous how often he does it.

Wouldn’t mind Turkey scoring for my 3-1 bet.

 

[Cavalera]

is var in operation?

Yeah mate

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

From what I have saw of this tournament so far I would say Italy have been the best team.

Hot take

 

[iaatpies]

Italy have absolutely strolled this and they havent had to get out of first gear. Turkey have been absolutely woeful. There's no energy, no tempo and little in the way of fight from the Turks. Italy deserve their 3-0 lead. Could be more given the possession Italy have had. Not a fantastic game to watch because it's so one sided but the Italians have used the ball very well. Gulf between the 2 sides is massive.

 

[el bandido]

I’ve really enjoyed this Italian performance

 

[coinflipper]

From what I have saw of this tournament so far I would say Italy have been the best team.

Been a fairly decent start to a tournament to be fair, high tempo attacking football. If this is the benchmark then it will be some tournament.

 

[scottie626]

Yeah mate

thanks

 

[Main Stand]

This has been most enjoyable.

 

[The Golden God]

FFs wean gets a ticket and falls asleep at the game

 

[DejaVoodoo]

You can see why Italy have been doing well in the last few years.

They look like a balanced team. Fluid passing, creative, organised and hardworking.

Look like a happy camp.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Gianluca!

What a striker he was.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Italy have been great second half.

 

[DelPiero]

Gianluca!

What a striker he was.

The man doesn’t age!
