Why wait until 6 mins left to bring your subs?

Levitt has more appearances for Wales than Manchester United. Giggs tax.

Italy just finding space beautifully.

What a save

 

[TobiOT]

Austria vs Ukraine about to be lit. Both teams are going to make sure that they avoid Italy.

 

[Ukbrotha]

They did it.

Good games today

Turkey were seen as dark horses?!

 

[TobiOT]

Considering they ended the match with 10 men and only lost to Italy by 1 goal, that's a W for the Welsh.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Italy are a serious force to watch out for in this tournament.

Turkey been an embarrassment all tourney

Wales couldn't even get a goal in versus Italy's B squad

I agree with you for the most part. However, Portugal's defence is leaky as fukk. 4 goals scored against them with 2 of them being own goals from a German team that has some problems (boy, is Germany rough around the edges).
1 own goal is a mistake. 2 own goals is a major cause for concern.

But if you look at the 2 OGs, even if the defender didn’t get it, a German player was in place to tap it in.

Havertz could have easily gotten the first goal (I think it was first credited to him due to how close he was to the ball) and the 2nd OG Gnarby was behind for the tap in if Raphael missed it. Those OGs showed the German threat going forward.

Portugal without Cancelo is a big big miss. If not, I think that game might have been a bit more evenly balanced.

looking at the brackets we’re likely getting italy - netherlands in the quarters

R16 or Quarters?

Maybe its his injury record but Verratti is proper world class isnt he? I always forget that.

100%. Issue has been him getting injured in big UCL matches/ties.

Are we going to talk about how the Italy B team is cutting Wales to pieces?

Idk if I’d say this is their B squad proper. You got the likes of Chiesa, Veratti who are first XI quality.

No, Netherlands gets the runner up, Wales, in that spot.

Italy's side has group winner of B, most likely Belgium, to look forward to.
