I AM IRONMAN Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Italia looking really good! 24-0-5 last 29 matches..a clean sheet the last 10 matches! Cleaning house with the coaching staff after missing the 2018 WC was necessary...and looking like the right thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Italia disposed of the Swiss in smooth fashion today. Scary start to the tourney with a Danish player collapsing on the pitch. An error by Hummels netting an own goal with plenty of space to clear, gave France the 1-0 victory over Germany yesterday in a high level tilt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I AM IRONMAN Posted June 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The Azzuri...always strong defensively...looked like a brick wall...loved Bufoon but Delladonna looks like a 20 yr stallworth in net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 1990, France is 9-2-3 against Germany. It's as though the German's have lost their will to fight -- hmmm, things do indeed change historically. Globally, EUFA has Belgium, France, England, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Denmark in the top 10 in the FIFA rankings (6 of them are in the the Top 7), while CONMEBOL has Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay as the remaining 3 in the world Top 10. EUFA is the damn SEC of FIFA. Meanwhile, our boys beat Mexico for the CONCACAF title, the equivalent of winning the PAC12 in football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice comeback today with De Bruyne coming off the bench to drill the game winner. He was the guy who got clocked in the face during the Champions League final.

Bormio Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Did not see it as I was hiking. But those goals in the first 5-10 minutes often make a team passive. Don’t know if this happened here, would not be surprised though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the first handful of minutes and had to rewind to see the England goal. It was a sweet assist and one timer. I despise the PK shootout endings, but they are entertaining and glad Italia won. I wonder if the British media were harsh in questioning why England’s coach had a 19 year old take the 5th shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a 19 year-old in that spot is the kind of decision that can get you fired. The media is saying England reached the final despite Southgate, not because of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
