Match Thread Turkey v Italy

[andy5836]

I hate this build up, I want to tune in and learn about new players from different countries not sit and listen to the pundits going on about England.

 

[Gardy90]

This BBC coverage is already shite. Rio Ferdinand and Shearer blabbing on about euro 96 and how it's important to get momentum, while they don't let Fabregas get a word in, a guy who won 2 euros on the trot with a World Cup in between them.

 

[ssblue]

3-1 to Italy imo

Front line is frightening, only France's is better imo

Ronaldo, Jota, B Silva?

Gnabry, Muller, Havertz?

Mehrtens, Lukaku, Hazard?

 

[Main Stand]

I’ve got £2 on Italy 3-1.

Aye woe betide they talk about the teams playing!

Every tournament I tell myself I won't get annoyed about them going on about England and every tournament within 30 seconds of the first game's build up I get annoyed!

 

[Main Stand]

Jesus these cartoon drawings are brutal

 

[Mr Han]

I got my delivery of Rize tea this morning, dunno if thats a sign.

 

[DavieM]

It's the Eng-er-land Euro 2020 show. Fucking give it a rest befuck - they even have Fabregas kidding on that he thinks they will win it.

 

[Main Stand]

Soyuncu’s drawing looks like a criminal composite sketch.

 

[UncleG]

Apologies big man, put it on the main Euro thread.

Cheers brother

'' Welcome to the BBC's Euro coverage, tonight we kick off with Turkey vs Italy in Rome! Alan, Rio, what about Euro 96. ''

 

[MSF]

Be surprised to get over 1 goal in this game, but I think it’ll be entertaining.

 

[YoungGer97]

Ronaldo, Jota, B Silva?

Gnabry, Muller, Havertz?

Mehrtens, Lukaku, Hazard?

As individuals sure, as a team no, not for me

 

[Mr Aqua]

Turkey have quite a decent team!

 

[Gersgraeme2020]

I have a strange feeling turkey will smash Italy tonight

 

[SDF]

This is my favourite part of any international tournament - Alan Shearer bluffing his way through the description of any player from another country he clearly hasn't watched before this afternoon when scrolling You Tube.

Was buckled at that “he might not even have started had Cenk Tosun been fit”, no Alan he would have started

 

[willowbankbear]

I’d like to see the Turks win tonight 3-2

 

[SDF]

Was buckled at that “he might not even have started had Cenk Tosun been fit”, no Alan he would have started

"Jesus Christ almighty, he's their captain, Alan"

"Yes, but he hasn't had 30 games in the EPL like Cenk Tosun has Gary"

 

[Main Stand]

That strips a cracker, that the Paulo Rossi hatrick one?.

 

[DejaVoodoo]

Fancy Italy tonight, but Turkey are getting some talk amongst media outlets. Something like 2-0 or 3-1.

As for the coverage, I would imagine it will be home nations coverage each day and then coverage of the teams involved within 20 to 30 minutes prior to kick off.

BBC and ITV will be producing punter coverage, thinking the majority want to hear about the home nations instead of jonny foreigner.

 

[Woody]

That's my 60 incher fired up and watching in glorious 4k on iPlayer. Can't wait for it to start. Mon the Turks.

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Nessun Dorma. Beautiful.

 

[iaatpies]

Can we ditch the studio guests and just get Mina Rzouki to do the coverage?

 

[DelPiero]

Something wrong with you if you don’t get goosebumps here.

 

[Aragorn]

Turkey have quite a decent team!

Before i would have had Italy as favourites for this match.

Seeing the Turkish highlights they are no mugs and wouldn't be surprised if they won tonight.

 

[Brother Moses]

Goosebumps

Very found memories of being a nipper watching Italia 90

 

[TamS-RFC]

Just turned the volume right up in the telly.

Incredible.

 

[top_cat]

This is what football is for me. It's purest form

 

[Main Stand]

One cool looking bastard

 

[CraigM14]

What a song. Absolutely incredible

 

[Main Stand]

Just turned the volume right up in the telly.

Incredible.

Done the same.

 

[Homelander]

Italians really are cool as %^*&

 

[Disraeli]

Bocelli really is the man.

What a performance.

 

[Hammy]

Wow what a performance!

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Opening ceremonies don't get any better.

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

What a man he is.

 

[Cavalera]

Utterly superb

 

[Main Stand]

This is absolutely beautiful, even the folk behind him are adding to the scene - it’s the most stereotypical Italian thing ever.

 

[Mr Han]

Can we ditch the studio guests and just get Mina Rzouki to do the coverage?

Juventus is her team but I've a wee sneaky/fantasy she's got some love for the Bears.

 

[roscow_dynamo]

Goosebumps

 

[Greggy75]

How good was that?

 

[Brother Moses]

Absolutely sensational

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

That is spectacular

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Just a pity the stadium's half empty!
The atmosphere in an occasion like that is usually electric...as it is it just looks a little bit half baked!

 

[Eddie Doc]

Tremendous.

 

[Homelander]

Holy %^*& this is incredible

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well that was fucking magic

 

[Clay Davis]

nessun dorma man.

Can’t leave you tearless

 

[Steeps the Teddy Bear]

Let the games begin....fackin marvellous.
