Euro: Group E: Belgium vs. Italy, 6/13/2016

[Blender]

Constantly blaming Fellaini has become a little annoying. Plenty of guys in Belgium aren't performing.

Hazard and KdB have been poor as well. The entire team looks like a collection of individuals instead of a cohesive team.

 

[ProPAIN]

65 million for Lukaku. God no.

 

[Live in the Now]

Lukaku is overrated garbage.

 

[chupanibre]

Oh god what's Origi done to his hair

It's not just him, most of the Belgium locker room went a little crazy with that bright yellow hair dye last night

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

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.

How many teams actually are happy/content with their coaches? Even the world champions want Low gone.

Difference is those players have the potential to play well...I'm amazed Fellaini gets paid to play football.

Who is the Belgium manager and why doesn't he have this team scoring 3-5 goals a game?

 

[Alex Jones]

FWIW Lukaku had never really had a great touch, he was just an athletic beast with a bomb of a shot.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mertens has to play that ball earlier.

Should've been a red, no attempt to play the ball, 2 hands on the player. Stops an attack.

 

[Live in the Now]

The art of the tactical foul right there.

An idiot with no tactical knowledge. Coaches would kill to have talent like this at their disposal.

 

[chupanibre]

we are running out of guys able to take tactical booking haha

 

[void]

Italy starting to collapse..

 

[Theokritos]

Italy has the older team on the pitch by a far margin I think and they ran more than the Belgians in the first half. Maybe the're running out of gas.

 

[chupanibre]

Giaccherini has been absolutely fantastic, he caught so much flack pre game

 

[Virtanen18]

An idiot with no tactical knowledge. Coaches would kill to have talent like this at their disposal.

The sheer talent at his disposal with these results is just sad. A bit like the Minnesota Wild under Mike Yeo this season.

 

[Alex Jones]

Italy look tired. They need some fresh legs.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Mertens been active. Origi thinking he's Gyasi Zardes.

 

[chupanibre]

desperation is setting in

On paper, they are up their with the best teams in the tournament. There is no reason they should look this sloppy and disjointed.

 

[Alex Jones]

Italy are tired and starting to rack up yellows.

 

[ProPAIN]

This is just pathetic.

 

[Virtanen18]

Yup, it's a great team. Shame they don't have a manager who can bring them all together.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

The thing that annoys me about Italy is that the only attack they have is a counter-attack. Such a boring style.

I guess you missed the first half.

You just tuned in huh, they are playing a heavily defensive second half, what do you expect?
