Laimer that would have been a good counter attack. 

He tried to deliver a clever pass, when a simpler pass would have been just as effective.

Someone in the BBC should switch on the fan noise as this lot are silent. 

I thought we were up to 50k in the stadium now?

[Beelzebub]

These two girls keep saying woooo everytime anyone gets the ball on my stream. Get the mic away from them

[Devil]

Arnautovic getting frustrated. 

[El Profesor]

The difference in quality between both teams is big.

As a neutral I want some drama, so I'm hoping for an austrian goal here.

 

 

[Stan]

Expected Italian fans to be much louder than this.

Wrong, he's always frustrated

Oh wow - Immobile with an almost incredible goal.

Sadly it hit the post

I wonder what the actual attendance is at Wembley right now?

I don't care who wins, but a strike like that would have been nice to see actually hit the back of the net.

[nudge+]

Baumgartner with another head injury. 

[Stan]

Ouch that looked painful for Baumgartner. 

[Stan]

Arnautovic really struggling against Bonucci.

I don't think that the difference in quality is big at all. Italy have had the two best chances, but the general play has been pretty balanced. Austria have several very good players in their team.

Got to be about 12k max in that stadium. 

I tell you what, if Arnauotivic wasn't such a lunatic and he cared enough push himself every game he'd be a top top player. I loved the way he can stand still with the ball and create magic. 

[Michael]

Nice dribbling skills by Arnautovic where he beat 3 defenders, but his cross was a let down. It kind of sums up his talent in some ways.

[nudge+]

Austria going forward a bit more in the last 10 minutes.

Schlager is having a good game so far, again. Wins almost every challenge. 

[Michael]

Verratti is an amazing footballer, he is the key man for Italy, he offers them so much.

Yep they seemed to have ridden the storm and seems bit more settled. 

Italy have been poor in the final third.

Imo Italy is clearly the better side. 

What's the name of that big austrian striker? I think Foda should use him in the 2nd half. His height would give the italian defenders some headaches.

I'd take Arnautovic off in half time. Looking to get sent off at some point.
