[El Floppo]

Id say hammy. Sucks

I think Achilles.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Spinazzolla is making himself some money this summer imo.  Maybe making Rona some money as well. 

oof

 

[gianmarco]

Looked like hammy to me, but he went from looking like he needed to come out to really bad in a short time. Not good :(

 

[JaxBill]

I think Achilles, player grab their hamstring's when it pops.  He hopped to stay off the ankle.

That was a brilliant header by Lukaku, wasted by Witsel waiting for guys to get in the box.

 

[AAABatteries]

OMG - Twellman just mentioned Fellaini.  Belgium are ####ed.

 

[El Floppo]

To be fair...wasted by Belgium not having guys committing forward quickly enough. Big gaps in their lines

yeah, I should have said because....but Martinez still has 3 CBs in the side, can't give up that 3rd goal!

Martinez is Hall of Famer at the "look at me, I'm managing!" hands.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Not exactly the Italian strikers' proudest hour.

Didn't see the bruise?

 

[NewlyRetired]

I am not a big fan of always protecting the keeper in these cases.  

 

[gianmarco]

Agreed.

 

[AAABatteries]

Come on - ridiculous

 

[El Floppo]

Italy doing their best Concacaf here

 

[gianmarco]

Yes!!!

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Italy - Spain in the semis.  Not too shabby.

 

[El Floppo]

Totally deserved. Comprehensive victory...italy lookimg so consistently good. That injury sucks though.

 

[AAABatteries]

Well deserved win - the antics the last 7 minutes, I can watch the COPA if I want to see that garbage.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Italy doing their best Concacaf here

Grant Wahl agrees

 

[gianmarco]

Can't say it wasn't deserved. Fandom aside, incredibly fun team to watch.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Well, Italy was much less attractive in the second half.  And Immobile deserved his own highlights package with kazoo accompaniment, but I still love that midfield.  

 

[Kafka]

YES!

 

[AAABatteries]

Martinez should be fired right now - like before they make it to the locker room.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Grant Wahl agrees

Leander S. wrote that the entire Italian team reacted as if someone broke their spaghetti in half before putting it in the water.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Shame Eden Hazard's career was cut short. At 30, he could have been a monster in this tournament. 

 

[gianmarco]

Well, Italy was much less attractive in the second half.  And Immobile deserved his own highlights package with kazoo accompaniment, but I still love that midfield.  

Not sure I agree. First half of the second half had some beautiful moments. It wasn't until the 75th minute and the injury that things came to a grinding halt.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Martinez should be fired right now - like before they make it to the locker room.

He be hired as an analyst before the post-game was over.  Dude always lands on his feet.

 

[AAABatteries]

Um....what the hell

 

[AAABatteries]

You're supposed to give them your shirt guy - not your shorts.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Martinez should be fired right now - like before they make it to the locker room.

Always seemed like such a strange hire. Was he ever any better than Marc Wilmots? 

 

[gianmarco]

On the flip side, how good is Mancini looking right now?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Belgium v. Italy -  quarterfinals.

Tasty, but a round too soon imo.

Glad it was played, but really should have been a semi-final at a minimum 

 

[Deamon]

Incredible game.  Italy looked amazing.  Belgium had so many chances, and we're lucky none of them went in.  But I'll take it! 

Should have been the finals.

 

[AAABatteries]

Always seemed like such a strange hire. Was he ever any better than Marc Wilmots? 

No

 

[El Floppo]

To he fair, the Italians invented this stuff...

[Bane voice] You think ####housery is your salvation! But you have just adopted it.  I was born to it.  Molded by it.[/Bane voice]

 

[AAABatteries]

That's a red.

Yep - a two-footed sliding challenge is always a trip to the bench now.

Wanted to revisit this.  Del Pietro with a sensible take - that's a yellow, no red.  Ruined the match.

It's the Achilles, unfortunately.  Terrible luck for him.  

 

[AAABatteries]

Lesson here is, never listen to Floppo.

 

[Kafka]

It's the Achilles, unfortunately.  Terrible luck for him.  

Of course it is; because Roma...and on the day Mourinho arrives.  Welcome, Jose!

 

[The Gator]

Well deserved win - the antics the last 7 minutes, I can watch the COPA if I want to see that garbage.

I was pretty happy the ref added two extra minutes…if only Belgium could have taken advantage. 

 

[QuizGuy66]

Grant Wahl agrees

Italduras?

Italma?

-QG

 

[QuizGuy66]

Thought he hit on all of them so far?

He missed Spain over 1.5 goals I think - I mistaken took the pic to be a parlay.  Glad OTB seems to be hitting

-QG

 

[QuizGuy66]

Got England (4) and Czech (3) for fantasy purposes tomorrow.  Got all 8 players through from today's games

[facook]

Well deserved win - the antics the last 7 minutes, I can watch the COPA if I want to see that garbage.

I have money on Italia to win it all, but that was lame.  The flippety-floppety crap is the worst part of this sport.  Even worse than VAR.

 

[gianmarco]

First, those antics by Italy didn't really happen until late. Second, those antics were quite tame compared to years past (by others as well, but especially by Italy). Third, there were some legit injuries. Obviously Spinazzola was a true injury. Belotti had a huge bruise under his eye from getting hit that didn't seem like much at the time. Even Donnarumma got hit but it was by his own player. There really wasn't THAT much more flopping/time wasting than we typically see. We were just lucky to have a really free flowing game without much stoppage for the first 75 that the final 15+5 seemed anticlimactic, IMO.
