Whew. My bet is still alive!

What a game from that Swiss keeper tho. He played incredible.

He has to be disappointed in his players on their kicks.
After being down a man for the last 45 minutes, the Swiss held on to take it to penalty kicks.

After going up 0-1 they just capitulated and fell apart missing the next 3.

Yeah I lost all confidence when Spain missed that first penalty. Thought they were done.

 

[n_huffhines]

Tried to get cute and didn't clear it

Glad I picked Italy.

 

[YankeeVol]

2-0 Italy

 

[DocVOLiday]

penalty might keep Belgium alive (assuming they make it)

 

[MAD]

Hopefully. Italy is so boring.

 

[DocVOLiday]

2-1 now

Has to suck for Italy to give that up in stoppage time.

I agree. italy in the past definitely have had times when they were boring, but this squad is averaging 2.25 goals per game in the euros (9 goals in 4 previous matches) and already have 2 today. and they have a few pretty exciting players. not that bad/boring IMO

(their previous matches (including one friendly))

Really a silly penalty

I'll defer. I haven't watched this team, just talking historically their identity is just to pack it in on D and hope for a counter or a set piece goal

 

[DocVOLiday]

Belgium almost tied it up there

Colossal choke job by Lukaku

Who else?

Well, guess I'm for the Three Lions, now

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Let’s go Italy!

 

[FLVOL_79]

Good riddance Belgium.

Were Belgium the favorites of the remaining 8?

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Risky by the Italy players to be hugging and embracing the fans. If one of them test positive for covid like Billy Gilmore did.. tournament is over for that player.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Were Belgium the favorites of the remaining 8?

Yes. Belgium is rated the #1 team in the world rankings right now.

Vol fans should be pulling for this squad if they support coach Vitello!
