Fair enough. Maybe I’m just inspired by a man who’s not ashamed to show his moobs on the telly!

Surely nobody who's paid any attention to Serie A in the past couple of years is surprised by how good this Italian side are?

The game is for quality footballers, not hackers and kickers. As it should be. Clear red.

Sometimes think that some folk would be better going to watch MMA.

We watch football for the football talent. Not to see how ‘hard’ folk are. Facebook comments sections are incredible for this.

**Saint Hibee** · 02-07-2021 08:19 PM

Italy are very, very good.

***Callum_62*** · 02-07-2021 08:22 PM

Love how physched they are to defend

Cracking game

That pass from Barella was Scott Allan esque

***Callum_62*** · 02-07-2021 08:22 PM

Belgium sort of hanging on although should have been 2-2

This is what football is all about.

2 teams getting stuck into each other, attacking, trying to win the game.

There’s enough tepid, cautious, conservative crap these days that makes it brilliant to watch a couple of teams of this standard going at it.

Not just the beautiful game either. There are some nice wee gamesmanship subplots that are adding to it as well.

***Callum_62*** · 02-07-2021 08:24 PM

You have to fancy it's the winner of this versus England in the final

Italy looking more likely for sure

Yeap, there’s a bit of everything in this one. Loving it.

Totally compelling, Italy in particular have been simply brilliant but Belgium still offer a threat.

**Saint Hibee** · 02-07-2021 08:26 PM

Italy are playing how I want to see Hibs play.

**~~ronaldo7~~** · 02-07-2021 08:26 PM

The ref has been a better defender than the Belgians at times. He's always in the way when the Italians are building around the box.

He also was a great defender for the Italians giving that FK to Bonucci when he was dispossesed

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 02-07-2021 08:35 PM

Italians have quite a good record agaisnt the Belgians

W-14
D-4
L-4

**Magpie** · 02-07-2021 08:37 PM

Gutted for Spinazzola, he’s had a brilliant tournament, will be a miss for them if they qualify.

**Glory Lurker** · 02-07-2021 08:38 PM

That is one terrible pitch.

**~~MWHIBBIES~~** · 02-07-2021 08:38 PM

Seeing what happens when you put silly demands on players. Dropping like flies. Only going to get worse with the mid season world cup.

He has been exceptional. He plays for Roma?

Yep!

**Pretty Boy** · 02-07-2021 08:41 PM

Is this last chance saloon for Belgium to win a major tournament? If not this one then the WC next year may be. A lot of guys in that squad 30+.

They remind me a bit of the Portugal team that had Figo, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomes etc in it. They will always be close but never quite get across the line.

Yup. 28 though, can’t see him going anywhere.

Also, he’s right footed so playing on the wrong side.

Belgium left back looks a very good player.

Definitely.

They won’t have another crop like this.

They may manage to stretch it out to the World Cup but they will only be in the top 8 or so teams by that point I reckon.

After that they’ll be nowhere near.

Is Andy Murray winning mate?

Youre missing a cracker!

Nope and well beaten , Andy looks about 44 rather than 34, afraid his hip & age are against him now.

***SteveHFC*** · 02-07-2021 08:44 PM

Surprised not one big club in Europe has came in for Insigne. Under-rated player.

To be honest I think they are over the top now. Been a greaat team though but filed under never fulfilled their true potential I think. Its been a great game but italy have always been in the boss seat for me, so much quality on the pitch, cue a Belgium equaliser.
