Redcanuck Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 The constant whistling by the Turkish fans every time the Italians have the ball Is very annoying

Danny Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Turkey defending deep with no real pressing, their counter attack has been poor and Italy have been in full control. Feels like Italy will score sooner or later

Devil Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Unimpressed with the Turks so far. Italy seem pretty toothless as well.
montybhopa Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 American commies are talking more about Mancini's outfit than the game
Machado Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Italy have had some terrible shots. They're either on target and weak or potent and totally wide. Lacking killer instinct.
ScoRoss Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Italy lacking a creative presence in the middle of the park. Got to believe at some point they could take off one of Jorginho or Locatelli and get someone on further forward. Turkey's midfield has hardly touched the ball, don't quite need the amount of sitting midfielders.
Danny Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Read something a while back where someone basically said having a solid defensive structure is much more valuable at a tournament because it’s easier to play that way than to build up a consistent attack within a short period. So far seeing that unfold tonight

I’m not sure how effective it’ll be in the long run… but it’s working so far… minus not having a goal
Machado Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Just now, Eco said: How is that not a handball? Not good for the sport if that is a penalty imo. The problem is if we see that again with a different ref, it's probably a pen.

Definitely not effective for longer.
ScoRoss Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 2 minutes ago, shut up said: Italy dominating, Turkey have been poor. That Spinazzola is class, been causing Turkey loads of problems. I think Chiesa needs to come on. Any reason why he didn't start? I put him in my fantasy team thinking a dead cert to start Berardi has been in form recently. Chiesa is probably more likely to be used in games against better opponents or where the game is a bit more stretched. He very quick and a great runner with the ball. But for playing basically a half pitch game, Berardi is the better option for tighter areas.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 11, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 11, 2021 Italy just seem to be reluctant to play any sort of killer ball. Get the ball wide faster and cross in behind the defenders or get to the byline and pull it back. Turkey next to no ambition and ten men behind the ball, sometimes in their own box, which is why Italy look toothless. This is the reality of tournament football. Weaker side defend almost exclusively and try to dive for a penalty on the break. Stronger side know that 1-0 is enough so willing to be patient rather than over committing to break the deadlock early and risking a counter attack.

Turkey's midfield has hardly touched the ball, don't quite need the amount of sitting midfielders. Can barely string two passes together but they did this against France twice in the qualifiers, with good results (1 win and 1 draw). It probably only works because they have one of the best center back pairings in Europe. I wouldn't rule Turkey out just yet.
Lucas Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Fuck me, wasn't sure if that was Turkey or Burnley in the first half.
