Plus the way the brackets are set up, if we made the semis it would be against either the winner of D (Portugal) right now or runner up of B (Spain) right now. I'd rather just need Spain knocked out.
they got a buzzer beater in.. second yellow to Frabotta so he misses the quarterfinals. lovely. 4-0 win. pretty amazing that we've finished the games with 9 men, 9 men and 10 men and have only allowed an own goal.
Qualification to KO rounds achieved. Happy for the group. I wasn't too sure this team was going to pass the round after the Czech game.
BIG MATCH TODAY Le probabili formazioni — Italia (3-5-2): Carnesecchi; Lovato, Delparto, Ranieri; Bellanova, Frattesi, Rovella, Maggiore, Sala; Scamacca, Raspadori. Portogallo (4-3-3): Diogo Costa; Pedro Pereira, Diogo Leite, Diogo Queiros, Diogo Dalot; Vitinha, Florentino, Bragança; Fabio Vieira, Dany Mota, Rafael Leao.
Pobega getting us back in it. 2 nice goals from Portugal earlier on. let's see if Nicolato makes any changes at the half. I agree... Bellanova non e da nazionale!
shocked we are tied... this is not a great italia u21 team talent wise at all. but they do have that grinta. maybe those red cards they got in the group stages prepared them for this lol
follow the UEFA. Champs league --> Serie A teams getting short end of the stick always. U21 ---> 5 or 6 red cards in 4 games (at least a few of them very dubious) Euro Cup this summer ---> get your popcorn ready
#NonMollareMai and just checked... 6 red cards in 4 games LOL. insane.. never seen anything close to that EVER
nice non call on Sottil.. and then portugal came back down and score. nice goal to their credit..but should have been a free kick to Sottil on the other end.
