Euro: Group A: ITA vs. WAL, TUR vs. SUI, 6/20/2021

[Live in the Now]

This is one of the more simple scenarios in the tournament here.

If Italy wins or draws, they pass through in first place. If Wales wins, Wales finishes first.

Switzerland is extremely likely to advance with a win. Turkey may not advance even if they win. A draw and they're both definitely going to be gone. Switzerland would also have to overturn a big goal difference in order to finish second. Because the other teams haven't played out their groups, it's impossible to know who the third place team here could play.

Three may advance, all four technically can advance, and potentially only two will advance.

If the Swiss start seferovic again, I hope they lose.

games is at the same time. Which should be more intresting? I cant decide. Italy vs Wales is battle for 1st place but either team is not desparate. Swiss and Turkey have one last chance, but still even with a win for either team they might not advance. I guess im going with Swiss vs Turkey. I always liked Shaqiri, hopefully he leaves Liverpool to get more playing time.

Wales certsk;ly looking forward to finish second to meet Finland/Denmark/Russia in the second round rather than some group winner.

I think I'll go with Wales vs Italy, Wales could get a draw from that one tbh cos Italy may as well rest some players and lay back a bit.

I know Sui vs Tur is the one I SHOULD be watching but the quality from the Turkish team has been so bad that I can't be bothered too and the Swiss are always more conservative than they need to be. Might change at the half though if it gets more interesting.

FORZA!

Good call to rest the starters... I hope

I know its because of how many teams there are in this tournament now...but the format for the round of 16 is bizarre. Either the winner or runner-up of this group plays another group's second place team. There's truly no real incentive to win your group here.

"Another scorcher in Rome"...

They should just do every Euro in a Nordic country now maybe toss a bone to Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania too this will only get worse with global warming.

Twellman AGAIN WHY ESPN WHY!?

Seferovic finally does something...

 

[HajdukSplit]

Swiss score on their first chance, it was all Turkey to start but they will probably fall apart now. Swiss can still finish second if the GD goes their way and Wales lose

 

[robertmac43]

Wait did Xhaka dye his hair since the last game?

Veratti brings a dynamic element to the team bringing the ball up the field. Curious to see how they fit him in going forward.

Twellman AGAIN WHY ESPN WHY!?

I’m gonna be disappointed if he is part of the commentator crew for the top la liga matches.

Did they water the field before the Italy/Wales game? The ball has a lot of drag on it...

Ampadu looking great so far, love to see it.

Turkey’s horror tournament continues

 

[HajdukSplit]

Two Swiss attacks and two goals, both shots outside the box. Still likely to finish third unless Wales lose by a couple goals

 

[N o o d l e s]

Hand up if you had Turkey finishing 2nd and making a little run in your Euro bracket. I am embarrassed lol

So apparently the ref in the SWI-TUR game was caught attending a Balkan mafia party where there were hookers, drugs and cash. Nothing suspicious for UEFA though...
