Bonucci!

Edit: ouch. that was close.

 

so unfortunate but offside

 

tielemans Just sounds like it’s a candy bar or some type of cookie

 

Immobile with some poor touches and lay-offs so far. Exposing Italy to counter attacks. De Bruyne with space, Lukaku playing on Chiellini.

 

Meanwhile Belgium are overrun wide and in midfield. Both teams making trade-offs which is making the game quite open.

 

And there we go

 

How the hell did he got that ball into that space. Had three guys around him and then poof space and shot.

 

Fatal from Verthongen. Great play from Barella.

 

Italy continues their tournament tradition of tight angle bangers.

 

That's some world class movement from Barella.

 

Ah, I see. Are they less strict if a keeper is behind the line? It seems like I've only seen it enforced when the keeper is in front of the line.

 

Ciro you have to lay that off my dude

 

God. Fucking. Damn.

 

INSIGNE MAMA MIA

 

Belgium look lost. Great goal there but should have been closed down.

 

Fantastic dribbling and strike, it really is, but see how see much space there was when he beat Tielemans. Belgium are outnumbered in midfield and the centre backs are backing off too far.

 

Belgium letting him walk in for a banger

 

This is a fun game

 

That PK is definitely needed from Belgium.

 

Goddammit

 

I think I read that Donnarumma has never allowed more than one goal in a game for Italy.

 

I guess Courtois was too short to reach Insigne's banger?

 

Yeah, that's why I was asking about it. I even checked the rule again and it says the keeper has to have one foot on the line. It does not say anything about a foot being behind the line. I guess nobody thought about that when making the rule.
