Too bad it was obvious Italy would win. No way destiny is passing up a chance for a Germany vs. Italy match. Now we just need to hope the Italian defenders are forced to act more aggressively and all get yellows again

 

[Lima]

DeGea is so bad

I mean he plays for Man United. That's a given.

 

[paperboywriter]

Buffon what was that

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Italy is getting a bit sloppy now. Don't assume the game is in the bag.

 

[Rad-]

Also the spanish press lobbied so hard for DeGea well now that they got their shitty De Gea they can fuck right off

Poor Spain for having the second best goalie in the world in their goal.

 

[therealist]

From De G.O.A.T. to De Goat

 

[T-Rex.]

De Gea made the first mistake but the goal could have been avoided if the Spanish defenders weren't asleep.

 

[Sickboy007]

Come on De Rossi!

 

[KingSnake]

Happy to see Italy playing well today. I really like this Italy. Conte is an awesome coach.

 

[Brinbe]

Italy doing a fantastic job of playing their game. Spain can't get into it at all so far. Folding when put under pressure and forced to defend when they're not sopping up all the possession as usual.

History aside, it didn't see anything from Italy so far that we couldn't handle. It there ever was a chance we could break the curse, it's this Euro.

What about the all the other German goalies?

 

[Lima]

Damn Italy is destroying Spain. No chance.

Poor Spain for having the second best goalie in the world in their goal.

Casillas isn't even on the field bro.

You're joking right ?

You must be a Man U fan.

 

[Big-E]

Eder man of the match so far. De Rossi proving me right earlier.

 

[comedian]

Ball is slippy, kicked hard and wasn't far enough in the corner so that he could push it away. I can't see how anyone can blame De Gea (maybe for a shit wall). Spanish players need to be more aware and clear the rebound.

 

[Brinbe]

lol shameful dive

 

[gutter_trash]

those 3 Juvi defenders, working in a tandem

 

[AndyMoogle]

It doesn't seem like Spain want to win. They are all so dull and slow.

 

[Mimosa97]

The spaniards look sleepy. Their forwards are just moving aimlessly.

Also dat catenaccio is depressing as hell to watch.

 

[Envelope]

It doesn't seem like Spain want to win. They are all so dull and slow.

That's exactly how they were against Croatia too

 

[eFKac]

What a waste.

 

[magawolaz]

Florenzi, what the hell was that

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Conte about to go in.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

DeGea is so bad

Joke post?

 

[Brinbe]

Perfect counter-attacking ball. Italy creating much better chances. That Spain defending is trash.

 

[SgtCobra]

De Gea still saving Spain's ass, nice save.

 

[paperboywriter]

Man, italy is bringing it.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Total domination by Italy.

 

[Lima]

Joke post?

Truth post.

 

[Sickboy007]

The spaniards look sleepy. Their forwards are just moving aimlessly.

Also dat catenaccio is depressing as hell to watch.

That's not catenaccio, that's amazing defending. It's a pleasure to watch how they're put on the field actually.

 

[KingSnake]

Also dat catenaccio is depressing as hell to watch.

What catenaccio? Italy is missing so many opportunities.

 

[wakajawaka]

This is impossible now for us. They're gonna score on a counter attack now.

 

[Miggy]

De Gea keeping Spain afloat.

 

[niahbvgpq]

so proud of this Italy. Amazing first half

 

[trembli0s]

Morata pretty useless

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

De Gea is a fucking fantastic keeper. Can't believe anyone would dispute that.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

sorry

 

[KingSnake]

Italy with that perfect synchronisation on the field again. It's like a football strategy lesson. Great first half.

 

[Brinbe]

Absolutely dominating first half. Spain with zero inspiration or ideas on how to solve that Italian defense. They constantly get into the final third and do nothing. They need someone to step up

 

[Atrophis]

Really should have at least two. Can't complain too much, great half for Italy.

 

[2700]

Can't believe anyone thinks De Gea is a bad keeper. He's just not used to playing with a competent defence.

 

[Big-E]

Could have used another goal, but perfect half otherwise.

 

[Rellik]

De Gea is a fucking fantastic keeper. Can't believe anyone would dispute that.

Usually fans of other English teams.

When you're a United fan, you see how fantastic he is when he's saving your ass 5 times a game.

Can't believe anyone thinks De Gea is a bad keeper. He's just not used to playing with a competent defence.

He's played with Phil Jones...

 

[T-Rex.]

What is going on in this thread? De Gea a bad keeper? Lmao.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Spain's goalie has playing very well today. We would have had another goal or two were it not for him.

I'm not calming down just yet. Spain can still come back from this.

 

[El Topo]

De Gea is a fucking fantastic keeper. Can't believe anyone would dispute that.

Sure. He made an amateur mistake in an elimination game though.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Italy better not park the bus in the second half.

 

[Mimosa97]

That's not catenaccio, that's amazing defending. It's a pleasure to watch how they're put on the field actually.

What catenaccio? Italy is missing so many opportunities.

Yeah I'm prob using the term too loosely but when I say that it's depressing to watch I don't mean that it's boring or anything. I mean it's depressing to watch as someone whose team might end up playing Italy in the semi-finals. Catenaccio or not, the italian defense looks unbeatable.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Right. He made an amateur mistake in an elimination game though.

Sure. That Italy goal can be blamed on De Gea. But that doesn't automatically make him a shit player.

Is Messi a pile of shit 'cause he missed a penalty in the Copa America final?
