OT: Montreal Impact Thread LVII - Nacho & Euro Edition

[void]

Ciman will be starting today!

 

[Belial]

Lol Ciman is touching the ball a lot for someone who was not even supposed to be on the team)) Go Laurent, Go Belgium!!!!

 

[JayKing]

Ciman playing very positive football as a right back. You'd think as a natural centerback that he'd be more reluctant to go forward but it hasn't been the case at all

Well, for a CB, he does go forward quite often. Ciman is VERY aggressive offensively, even as a CB. He will make runs forward and try to create things. He does that at least two or three times a game so it doesn't surprise me that he would play offensively as a FB.

Him and the cb got burnt on Italy s goal

It was more on the CB. But the delivery was amazing, tough to defend...

 

[Sthabs]

Yea after the replay it was definitely more on the CB, but look at Italy's defense how tight they are.
Overall good game so far but I don't think Belgium will be able to come back and win, at best a tie, and even then I wouldn't bet on it at all

 

[adudeonaforum]

Good game by Ciman.

 

[JayKing]

Like I said before the tournament, Belgium are frauds.

 

[Bloumeister]

From the behind-the-play cam replay, looks like the Belgian goalie moves out of the way to let the ball go in

Nice goal

 

[OpenIceHit]

Great game! Great defense! Forza Azzurri!!

Why the heck are they so high in the FIFA rankings? Showed nothing today, no cohesion, no support, zero penetration...

All hype, little substance.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Like I said before the tournament, Belgium are frauds.

Like the Russians in hockey, they have a great collection of talent, but no team concept.

 

[JayKing]

Why the heck are they so high in the FIFA rankings? Showed nothing today, no cohesion, no support, zero penetration...

By playing as little friendlies as possible and getting good results when they do play friendlies.

Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, Konpany and Ciman (I'm kidding) is a hell of a good core for a national team. They fully deserved their past rankings.

Azzuri can go screw itself with how they treated MLS talent.

Uh, what? Pirlo didn't deserve a call-up and it's clear that Giovinco didn't fit Conte's system after watching today's game. Conte's remarks about the MLS weren't necessary but we can't blame him for his choices.

Pirlo deserves a call-up on his name alone, and Giovinco is a better striker than half of the strikers on the current team. If they reach it'll be because of De Rossi, the 3 Juventus defenders and obviously Buffon.

 

[Laurent]

Like I said before the tournament, Belgium are frauds.

Yup! Lukaku's first touch is horrendous.

 

[JunglePete]

Yup! Lukaku's first touch is horrendous.

Lukaku really looked like Altidore


Ciman played very well despite the goal

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

Yup! Lukaku's first touch is horrendous.

Most overrated player on their squad. He's a great player, but he's not a top striker in the world.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Portugal today. My body is ready.

 

[adudeonaforum]

the azzurri are so boring to watch when they have their way

i dunno about Lukaku being so bad, it wasnt his best game but the dude scored 25 goals with Everton last season... Altidore? Not really.
He was 2 inches away from scoring a nice one yesterday. I heard rumours Arsenal might want him, he'd be better than Giroud imo, but I still think Vardy would suit them better though.

Chile vs Panama tonight, vamos Chile!
