Administrator Stan Posted June 27 Administrator Posted June 27 Kick-off 17.00 (BST) VS Venue - Olympiastadion, Berlin Quote
Dave Posted June 27 Posted June 27 It should be a close game this. Italy are well organised but haven't kept a clean sheet and not of the midfielders or attackers have had a stand put tournament. Switzerland on the other hand lack the star power on paper but are well organised and have been playing above perceived ability levels. If there's an 'upset' it's probably here. Quote
6666 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Not much in it between both teams in my opinion. Hoping for another Xhaka masterclass. Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted June 27 Moderator Posted June 27 Switzerland are the clear favourites for me. Quote
Devil Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) Switzerland should go into this confident but just like against Croatia, you just can't bet against the Italians. They seem to pull it out of the bag so often. If you gave me a choice between the two for England, it would be Switzerland every time. We need to up our game massively but I'd still have serious doubts if we played Italy. Fingers crossed Switzerland win. Edited June 27 by Devil Quote
Azeem Posted June 28 Posted June 28 This game is more likely to go into extra time than England Slovakia Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 29 Author Administrator Posted June 29 That was naughty from Cristante. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 29 Author Administrator Posted June 29 Di Lorenzo should be booked. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 29 Author Administrator Posted June 29 There's something quite disjointed about this Italy side. Something not clicking fully. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 29 Author Administrator Posted June 29 Deserved lead by Switzerland. Midfielders dominating and one of the late runs from Freuler pays off. Totally untracked. Quote
Redcanuck Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Did they change the commentators. The first half I had Warren Barton and some woman who never shut up. Now it's back to normal ones. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 29 Subscriber Posted June 29 Probably the most one sided game I've watched in the tournament apart from Germany vs Scotland. Quote
Michael Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Scamacca hits the post for Italy! That's been their best chance of the match! Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 29 Author Administrator Posted June 29 Scamacca misses from 3 yards out Quote
Michael Posted June 29 Posted June 29 There's only 15 minutes left of normal time left and Italy are 2 nil down. I'd expect a bit more attacking urgency right now. Quote
Michael Posted June 29 Posted June 29 (edited) Switzerland make the quarter-finals and Italy are knocked out! It was a well deserved win for Switzerland and they will be a tough match for any side they meet at these Euros. Switzerland 2-0 Italy Edited June 29 by Michael Quote

Dave Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Italy looked like a Championship team but credit to Switzerland they looked very impressive. We would have to improve significantly to get past them if they play like that again. Quote
6666 Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Italy never looked dangerous. Swiss were easily the better side. And Vargas finally doing something in a tournament. Quote
Inverted Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Unbelievable how poor Italy looked. They don't have the talent of previous sides, but they have a team with at least decent players in every position, mostly pretty good players, and even one or two great players. It is hard to understand how they can just be thrown about like that and offer almost no competition. 1 Quote
