Italy well on top here, full backs getting forward well. Berardi is at the heart of everything.
Very good performance so far. Solid in defence, dominant in midfield and weāre creating chances, disappointing not to be ahead.
That early pass with the outside of his left boot was magnificent. Heās a class apart at this level.
Agreed.
Still donāt know where heās best at, he plays a lot of his football cutting in off the right but I think heād be better in a central area.
Yeah I think heās too good a passer to leave him out there. You can see how effective he is drifting in but he could be even more dangerous inside.
That was lovely from Zappacosta, Belotti should do better.
Richard Hughes has used the word ātechniciansā about 30 times tonight.
Biraghi with a golden chance to win it there.
Italy played well, should have won. Berardi looked really leggy at the end. Need Portugal to do us a favour now.
Denmark top their group with Germany through in second, an odd enough group with Germany drawing with Serbia who got thumped by Czech Republic who lost to Denmark who Germany thumped who drew with the Czechs who thumped Serbia who also lost to the Danes.
England and Italy and Sweden and Portugal tonight.
Portugal are there if they avoid defeat. England are there if they win, Sweden need England to lose and to pick up something against the Portuguese while Italy need to beat England and hope Portugal beat Sweden.
Germany for poor last night (or was it the night before?). Took things very handy and didnāt even look like closing the match out when they took the lead.
Can England progress with a draw?
England can progress with the draw if the Swedes donāt win.
All in England and Portugalās hands really. Italy need a win in the Portugal and Sweden game and to beat England.
Nedved in attendance.
Stirring stuff from the Azzurrini there signing the anthem.
Slow start from Italy, struggling with Englandās athleticism.
Two good openings for Italy there. Berardi and Zappacosta combine really well down the right.
Ings spurns a one on one.
I like Benassi, heās a classy operator.
Belotti!!!
GEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN there
