Administrator Stan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 6, 2021 A game that deserved extra time. Got a feeling Spain will nick it.

Michael Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Are Italy going to hold out in extra time? Spain have had 70% possession, the Italians must be really tired as a result.

Honesty that's been like the last 7-8 years they've played Really expected Italy to involve their midfielders this time

With Jorginho and Chiesa as the only midfield and attacking players left, the endless substitutions really lessen that effect in this competition. Chiesa seems to have boundless energy anyway!

Administrator Stan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 6, 2021 Pedri and Dani Olmo still playing with so much energy. Impressive.

Chiesa seems to have boundless energy anyway! That's a valid point, the allowance of 5 substitutions per team really has changed the dynamics in the game in many ways.
Administrator Stan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 6, 2021 Italy look totally spent. They're shattered.
Michael Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 15 more minutes for Italy to hold out. I am sure Italy are wishing this goes to penalties now.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 6, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 6, 2021 Italy have been so poor compared to their previous games while Spain have had their best performance of the tournament. Shame for this Italy side if they don't make the final as they've been exciting throughout the tournament whereas Spain have largely been average by their standards. The Spaniards would be good value for victory in this game though.
ScoRoss Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Italy need Berardi or Belotti to make something out of nothing. Can't see them scoring a great team goal, but either are capable of a moment. Bernadeschi looks to be coming on soon as well. So a free kick in a dangerous area could be another winning play.

I think Italy have already used their 5 substitutes.
Michael Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Crikey an extra substitute is allowed in extra time. Italy have made 6 substitutes in this game, that's half their team.

Lucas Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Italy have played with such high intensity throughout this competition that I think it's really caught up with them sadly. That Belgium game they out so much into whilst Spain had it easy (but made it difficult) v the Swiss. But one thing I would say, out of the two keepers, I'd rather have Donarumma in the shootout.
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, Cicero said: Thiago’s been a donkey since leaving Bayern. He slowly got better with us as the season went on. Don't think he really fits in with this Spain squad though
Administrator Stan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 6, 2021 Thiago is doing pretty fucking shit for someone who only came on at the start of extra time.
6666 Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Thiago has been terrible whenever he's come on in this tournament.
ScoRoss Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 10 minutes ago, Michael said: Crikey an extra substitute is allowed in extra time. Italy have made 6 substitutes in this game, that's half their team. Was shocked when I seen it in an earlier game. Pretty sure UEFA didn't have it in their club competitions this season either.
