To be fair to Steve Clarke he has got us there which is more than a long list of managers before him.
He probably was a bit conservative on Monday but it's not unreasonable that he stuck by the players who got us here.
The big test for him is whether he has the courage to make difficult decisions for Friday night.

When have we ever seen an incident like that over and over again?

I’ve got to hold my hands up and admit over-reaction to the incident but I really get hot under the collar at blatant cheating.

I agree, although I think it was a foul so no need for face holding or pushing. Having said that to hope Wales get pumped out because of some play acting, which I've seen similar at ER, is taking it a bit far. I wish Scotland had shown as much commitment on Monday.

I don't want them to lose, I want Wales to do well, the cheating things also annoys the hell out of me too, a bit like Bales dive for the penalty.

Good to see Insigne playing well, I always like a wee guy to play well in every tournament

Yeah totally agree, it's something that has crept into football more and more & it's not pleasant but I don't think it will be eliminate now.

That first volleyed pass was sublime.

Italy are fantastic. So good.

Chiellini off, but looked like just a precaution.

That was a ****ing fabulous goal. From the volleyed pass to a man actually beating a defender to the perfect cut back to Locatelli running 60 yards to finish. Absolbrilliant

Italy have been by far the most impressive outfit so far for me

Terrific, from the initial pass, to the speed at which he travelled with the ball & the lay back, exquisite.

Definitely:agree: They’re looking like playing Belgium in the round of 16, that could be epic.

Is the Swiss kit identical to the Czech kit anyone? Looks that way.
