Sun De Rossi off. Going to get carded.

 

[Bakkus]

Pirlo retired?

Not good enough any longer. Realized it himself by going to MLS

 

[Steve.1981]

He really wanted to send Pepe off at that point, and who could blame him.

 

[patapuf]

Does belgium not know how to cross?

 

[Shito]

Not good enough any longer. Realized it himself by going to MLS

That's called "doing a Henry".

 

[Acorn]

Pepe only exists to fuck his teams and get sent off. I'm putting a tenner on every match for him to get sent off. It's a sure thing.

 

[paperboywriter]

Does belgium not know how to cross?

They seem unable to figure out what to do with a football. Maybe they dont know the rules or something?

 

[WonkyPanda]

what are these annoying ass whistles I keep hearing? They sound like fire alarms.

 

[mellz]

Dembele and Batshuayi/Origi in please.

 

[Hawkie]

Masterclass from Bonucci.

 

[His Majesty]

Really feel sorry for Hazard, being forced to play with Fellaini and Lukaku up front.

 

[Fistwell]

Belgium underperforming. Still, finding myself entertained somehow, interesting opposition of styles.

 

[Firemind]

Belgium really should have started Vertongen, no idea why you would break up a proven club CB pairing if no injuries.

Wait what he isn't even starting? LMAO I hope you choke on your vlaamse frites Wilmots.

Could be good thinking haha

Belgium choking... Nah, it's too early for that talk.

Thierry Henry, "Don't sleep on the Italians"

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Get the feeling missing that header will haunt us. Definitely not a bad performance from Italy so far, seeing as we're in front.

 

[bjaelke]

Agreed. Need Origi up top from the start of the second half.

 

[His Majesty]

Actually we're not underperforming at all. We play like this every game. Against the likes of Bosnia and Israel we usually get away with it.

 

[paperboywriter]

Schlawiener scholl is excited by this first half, is he on drugs or what?!

 

[Creamium]

Vertonghen has played the entire half...

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Italy are playing very well. I'm so happy.

 

[Lender]

Fellaini out, Carrasco in please. And Hazard on the 10. Michy/Origi in as well. And Ciman out for Meunier.

 

[panty]

what are these annoying ass whistles I keep hearing? They sound like fire alarms.

Same, very irritating.

 

[paperboywriter]

Same, very irritating.

On the other hand it's kind of deserved.

 

[patapuf]

Italy are playing very well. I'm so happy.

Jep, i guess one shouldn't be surprised, but they can still defend well and make use of their few chances.

 

[T-Rex.]

Agreed. Need Origi up top from the start of the second half.

Yup, Ferdinand is spot on. Lukaku's movement is really bad.

Also lol at Conte with that anime nosebleed after that ball and goal.

 

[Fistwell]

Actually we're not underperforming at all. We play like this every game. Against the likes of Bosnia and Israel we usually get away with it.

The team has the players to do a lot better on the offensive end though.

 

[Jal]

 

[Makeda]

Wait what he isn't even starting? LMAO I hope you choke on your vlaamse frites Wilmots.

No-no Jan is starting but he's playing as a Left Back... CB's are Vermaelen & Alderweireld

This had gotta be the most amount of football Vermaelen has seen all seaaon... BelgianGAF was right, Wilmots is special.

 

[Kjellson]

I love Italian fans dressed like Mario and Luigi.

 

[His Majesty]

The team has the players to do a lot better on the offensive end though.

Our entire offensive plan consists of hoping for some magic from Hazard and De Bruyne and if that fails long balls to Fellaini.

 

[dealer-]

lol! I remember when the England physio had to be stretchered off after a celebration.

 

[John Dunbar]

I love Italian fans dressed like Mario and Luigi.

what is it called when people appropriate culture that was appropriated from them?

 

[T-Rex.]

I'm still shaking my head at Dembele being left on the bench. He was one of the best midfielders in the league last season lol, how on earth can you start Fellaini ahead of him? If their plan was to long ball it up then fair enough, but it isn't. They're actually trying to play football.

 

[paperboywriter]

Pls belgium, or italy: do something entertaining

 

[Clydefrog]

what are these annoying ass whistles I keep hearing? They sound like fire alarms.

Haha they're beyond annoying. Bring back the Vuvuzela!

 

[Fistwell]

Yeah, I agree the offense is not working. Was just saying I believe they could and probably should be doing better.

 

[Lender]

Pls belgium, or italy: do something entertaining

That kick off was kinda entertaining. ^^

 

[Lender]

De Bruyne is sucking so hard.

 

[paperboywriter]

More insane hairstyles, yeah

 

[Fiend]

what is it called when people appropriate culture that was appropriated from them?

Appropriatception.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Belgium absolutely clueless

 

[Creamium]

De Bruyne tanking.

 

[Wind's Howling]

De Bruyne is playing absolutely terrible this match. He is definitely not feeling happy on the right side. Hazard seems to slowly regain his former self.

 

[mellz]

Great first touch from Lukaku but he has to score there.

 

[ColossalLazy]

lmao Lukaku

 

[The perfect Dark]

That was close

 

[Jasup]

Lol Lukaku

 

[T-Rex.]

Lukaku LOL. Did you ever think he'd actually bury that?

[paperboywriter]

Italy at least has a game plan, Belgium has no idea what they are supposed to do.
