15 min. Pretty physical game so far. Greeks are well positioned in their half

 

Credit to the Greeks that aren’t giving Immobile an inch of space. We cannot create anything

 

This 4-3-3 is devolving into failure IMO

 

Chiesa subbed off. Not sure if it’s injury or because he’s done nothing all game

 

Chiesa has played well this year for Fiorentina in a 3-5-2. He connects well with Ribery playing closer to the goal. His biggest weakness is his finishing

In this Italy formation he’s just lost.

 

I’ve been saying for months that Verratti - Jorginho is excessive. Either play one or the other.

 

This might be the perfect game to insert Zaniolo

 

Greece almost score on a counter

If we lose this game we can never wear green ever again. Puma can go to hell

 

Hopefully the game opens up now

 

Final

7/7 and we’re in. Still work to do before we’re a real contender
