Michael Posted July 6, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 6, 2021 Subscriber Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted July 6, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted July 6, 2021 Share 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.
