2015 Euro U21 Championships

Who played that pass @Nembo_Kid? Lovely ball.

And a second, lovely.

Berardi. Who else?

Cracking bit of play from Belotti too, he’s played well until now but just had his luck cursed.

Benassi!!!

That was hilariously poor defending from England. They’re the same at every level - great warriors on a high ball into the box but ask them to deal with a runner coming at them and they were queuing up to hide behind eachother.

A class act.

Stones by name, stones by nature.

England’s midfield has been absolutely dreadful. Standing off everyone and they don’t offer anything creatively either.

Yeah, same old story for them in midfield, nobody either technically or tactically good enough and a real lack of leadership in that area. Italy have been really good in midfield, Cataldi is a really rounded player and full of energy and Benassi is so classy. Crisetig just sits and keeps things ticking over nicely.

We’ve a good team, looks like we’ll head out though, draw suits Sweden and Portugal. We’re basically paying for a complacent second half against Sweden.

3-0.

That’s a paddling.

McManaman complaining about a foul throw for that one. :grin:

McManaman was applauding England for going long in the first half in case they’d get caught out at the back.

We’re goosed, neither side interested in winning the other game. Reminiscent of our exit in Euro 2004.

Good to see the curse of Totti making its way over to the new site :slight_smile:

Who were you in the good old days, pal?

Who’s the England right back? Very assertive defending…

Jenkinson.

Sweden equalise.

Italy out.

Lovely stuff :slight_smile:

Exactly like Euro 2004 as Sweden fuck us over with a late goal played out for a draw.

Only ourselves to blame though, took them for granted in the first game and left ourselves a mountain to climb.
