EURO 2020 - R16 : Italy - Austria

Jorginho and Bonucci holding their heads at the same time

Arnautovic just breezed past Verratti, Acerbi, and Spinazzola there

whats lineman doing lol.... he is like 1 min slow to give that offside

It's all Spinazzola lately. They need to use Berardi and Barella's side more

Austrians holding up well. i expect italians to have a breakthrough though

Sasa Kalajdzic needs to be on for Arnatouvic .. he is yellow anyway ...

kalajdzic has dzeko like style on him

Italy is solid without being spectacular ... only finishing missing their delivery to the final third and finishing

Italy will reck Austria in second half at this rate... just lack finishing but not by much
Austria use double coverage in midfield and it's very agressive by both players = more open space behind

And yes the owner Saputo and his familia run the cheese market in town. I give credit to him, he's damn persistent, and does a lot to promote soccer in our province. Create a partnership with Bologna and all expenses that come with it is quite a big personal effort.

that is interesting i had no idea they had like direct afffiliation to Bologna.

Italy arent troubled indeed but they need to finish indeed. i dont want to see like Austrians hold for too long then score and waste the time for italians

What they're doing is cool!

Austria actually coped better than I thought they would, they also countered several times in the first half

yea Austrians will get tired eventually
Berardi is nowhere to be found. Put Barella in his position and take him off for Locatelli

i would probably try chiesa to bring more direct football for berardi who is trying more diagonal runs but austrians has got that covered with too many bodies

hopefully italians get breakthrough if game opens then ... it would be intersting because italians are doing good on open plays

I think it will be Chiesa. But only do that after 60 min pls...

Not Locatelli, you keep him for later when Austria will inevitably get tired
I think the midfield is fine for now

Chiesa in for Berardi would give them troubles on the flanks. He's also much faster

Plenty of times left still. Trust Berardi for now, he might improve after the team talk

my thinking is that they have Austria camped back so they don't really need a runner they just need more triangles to open up Austria... Locatelli and Barella will make the right side come alive

i get scared of Euro 2004...
those last minute goal making italians go home ...

this shouldnt happen

Wow Arnautovic dribbled really well like Cornelius vs Wales before
