Buffon

The man is a living legend.

Germany scares the **** out me tbh

 

[2CHAINZ]

Germany is mad italy is their tournament kryptonite.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Spain had a legendary run between 2008-2012.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Bad news for the Germans.

That team still scares me. They look damn near invincible.

But it'll still be a fantastic match. I'm just glad Italy made it over this first hump....still don't think these two teams should have met this early.

 

[Deficient Mode]

He's not.

He is. Juanfran can make beautiful crosses but Carvajal is a better offensive RB and the best of the post Alves/Lahm generation.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Pelle and insinge look like Kevin hart and the rock.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Let's the polenta flow! That was great.

 

[Live in the Now]

Very interested to see what Italy does down their right hand side against Germany.

 

[TP]

Great! Now we have to face the World cup champs.


:/

 

[YNWA14]

Good win for Italy. Also confused as to why Insigne isn't a starter.

 

[Whiplash27]

Buffon is still such a beast.

 

[Boston Bruno]

Bring out the balotelli!

 

[SenorDingDong]

Conte's celebrations are the best!!

I love it.

 

[Hesher]

Well done Italy, great performance.

 

[Power Man]

This.

 

[Power Man]

Italiaaaaaaa

Please win it all for Gigi

 

[Ceremony]

Pedro manages to be in the Spain defence for that second goal. Where on earth was Pique?

I think Italy has a very good chance and it'll be close, I wouldn't be surprised if they won. Germany has basically nothing in terms of defence in the central midfield now that Schweinsteiger's basically not healthy enough to start or play fully well. The organization isn't that great defensively under Low and Muller's been underperforming plus the RB can be exposed regardless of whether it's Kimmich or Howedes.

The German team is just not fair. I remember in our (USA's) group stage match with them last WC, they just casually brought Mario Götze off the bench in like the 77th minute....

That is so not fair lol

 

[Boston Bruno]

 

[Pouchkine]

Total domination was great to see, should have been a lot more as well now on to the classic Italy-Germany!

 

[XO]

Mistake not to have Torres in the squad. Same with Paco Alcacer who played well in the qualifier. Arduriz, Morata and Nolito is awful.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Great! Now we have to face the World cup champs.


:/

Euro Cup champs done, World Cup champs next on the block. After that, only the home team French.

Piece of cake.

I swear if Italy emerges from this gauntlet of death and into the finals, there's no stopping them.
