We need to keep applying the pressure. I don't want the whole team sitting back.

At halftime I must say I'm very impressed with the Italians given all the negative reports and postings I've read over the last weeks.
Very calm and smart so far.

Never underestimate Italy at a tournament. They'll always find their ways.

I honestly think Italy is playing well. Belgium has a lot of possession, but not really in dangerous areas.

Also never underestimate players with a good footballing brain who are able to carry out instructions. Italy does have a lot of those.

Managers make a big difference. Just look at the Netherlands. Most Belgium fans have been bemoaning Wilmots for a long time.

At this point it seems a lot like if Belgium succeeds it will be in spite of Wilmots definitely not because of him.

This is what happens when you have a coach with 0 tactical knowledge and a team full of skilled individuals and go against a team with less skill but a world class coach. Conte is showing how it's done and Wilmots remains clueless.

So many amateur level mistakes. Embarrassing.
