Euro 2020 (quarti di finale): Italia - Belgio

There's no way Mancini leaves Bonucci on the bench. And I agree with all of you: Chiesa must play from the start.

 

I'd be lying if i said i wasn't nervous

 

We are all nervous. 5 years is a long long time to wait for a game of this magnitude.

FORZA AZZURRI!!

 

I am less nervous about playing this belgium team than any of the others for the simple fact that Italy's problem has always been playing down to the competition. Nobody on our squad was there in 2006, true, but who for Belgium has won anything or even finished runner up in a major tournament. They should be equally as nervous about playing Italy. They have individual talents but so do we.

 

This is Belgium’s competitive record in major tournaments.

 

The Azzurri Instagram kind of spilled the beans that Chiellini is starting tonight. I hope our familiarity with Lukaku comes in handy.

 

Well yeah considering 5 years ago at EURO 16 you guys went out at this stage in the QF against the Germans in penalties

 

.

Lots of Italians in Germany

 

I was going to post the same thing. I think there are a lot of German -Italians living in Munich. That was the case in 2006 and it still is true….

 

Two of my uncles work in Munich

 

Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola; Barella, Jorginho, Verratti; Chiesa, Immobile, Insigne


Verratti and Chiesa in. Chiellini fit to start.

 

This is actually a great lineup

 

This is our strongest XI, Forza ragazzi!!

 

Can't leave Verratti out there in the second half on a yellow.

 

Scandalous pen. Anti Italia lobby I tell you

 

Get Immobile off the ********in pitch, shit.

 

What a moronic moment by Di Lo. I can tell you it's not the first time I've seen him do something dumb.

 

Soft ass penalty, can't believe it was even awarded

 

Ciro wtf are you doing out there

 

Lorenzo Insigne (5 ft 4 in) what a goal!

 

he seems redundant on the pitch anyways. bring on locatelli to run wild.

 

What a moronic decision by the ref
