Euro: Group A: Italy vs. Turkey, 6/11/2021

[Incubajerks]

Disagree. He has done well coming back to the middle of the field and distributing the ball throughout the game.

He really opened space for Spinazzola, moved really well and you can see the chemistry with Ciro.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Turkey dropped a deuce. They have the mettle in qualifiers but when the big tournament rolls around ('02 the exception) they sink like a stone.

My friend moved to Milan for a work assignment. First generation Italian-American. Happy he was able to travel to Rome for the game.

They did allright in 2008

 

[Juve]

As I’ve mentioned, I grew up extremely much influenced by both Italian and Portuguese cultures, and they make up the majority of my friend group to this day.

I just can’t understand my Italian pisanos right now. A four star jersey makes a great return to international tournament football abd none of them seem to care.

Slap them silly

 

[N o o d l e s]

Slap them silly

I haven’t been this happy about an Italy team since like 2008. The f*** is wrong with them

 

[sxvnert]

In what universe is turkey part of Europe?

Yeah, the last one was super embarrassing. Ventura should have been shot in the middle of the field . I am the only Italian within my inner circle of friends. I got a lot of ribbing.

Well, half of Istanbul is in Europe.

Remember Insigne rotting on the bench while corpse of DeRossi was played?

I will never forget De Rossi's reation. I almost broke the tv. Thank God my nona and nono weren't alive to see that match.

 

[ottomaddox]

What a shit game by Turkey. I don't think I've seen them this bad. Did they even make 2 passes? They could not even get the ball over half.

They might have my vote as the worst team in the tournament.

This is an incredibly more complicated question than I think you believe it is.

Was it really that embarrassing? They finished first in the group, beat Spain, and lost to Germany in a shootout.

This is the point we are at after 1 game?

 

[Power Man]

How?

 

[ottomaddox]

Did you see the game?

Can you ask the same question, but insert Russia.

 

[cgf]

Screw asking how european countries are part of europe. Can anyone explain to me how Australia & Israel have been a part of Eurovision for all these years?

 

[Power Man]

Bosphorus connects Europe to Asia so technically, yeah….

 

[buddahsmoka1]

How?

Wow, that's insane.

 

[S E P H]

- Turkey played that match like they knew they were playing against a better team and would surrender by multiple goals. Pathetic display, but also we can't complain since all their best players play for Germany anyway.

- Italia has one of the most beautiful and iconic flags/colours in the world and they go for the all white kit? Just rubbish

- That VW opening was seriously....yeah.....AF lol.

How?

Wasn't there a bloke who predicted like 70% of the World Cup matches (I believe it was the one in South Africa) one time claiming that the sport is rigged or something?

We were the visiting team....strange but true.

I didn't like them very much either, but we all know that Italy's main football colour is blue, which has absolutely no relation to their flag, so

Are you thinking of Paul the Octopus? (RIP )

The shirt is blue because it was the color of the Royal House, that is the Savoy.

I'm not saying it has no basis, but he was specifically referencing the Italian flag and how it's a pity their jersey wasn't based on it, yet specifically targetted the white jerseys when white technically is on the flag while their main colour blue isn't, so just pointing out the bizarreness of the argument
