UEFA Euro 2020 Group A ** spoilers ** (Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland)

what quality is that then? Not conceding in how many games now? Not scoring? Tell me what qualities they aren’t showing because to me they seem to be showing every trait of a team that very much has the quality to win it

They don’t have any stand out superstars , Italy teams of the past had these .

Just look at this game , 17 shots on goal and only 1 goal, if they are going to want to win this tournament they will need to be a lot more clinical in front of goal.

 

[McBain]

I need some of what Dean Saunders is on, Wales have the best front 3 in the world apparently.

This is their reserve team.

Could still do it, hell if Denmark managed to win the Euros with no superstars then this Italy team certainly can.

Let’s see them up against France , Germany and Belgium and then we can see how good they really are.

Italy look quality, but I can't say they're favourites until we've seen them up against opposition of real quality.

This is exactly what I’m saying.

 

[Tombstone]

Thing is, at times in their matches, France, Germany and Belgium have all looked wobbly at times. Italy have looked solid in all their games and none of France, Germany and Belgium are on a 30 match unbeaten international run and gone 11 games without anyone even scoring against them. But you are right, we will see what happens when they play one of them.

I’m not sure I could imagine anything worse than Hartson & Savage being on at the same time.

That would be more successful than waterboarding as an information extraction technique.

 

[manic111]

I wouldn’t get to carried away yet , still a long way to go and they’ve had one of the easiest groups.

Yeah I agree, and often at big tournaments a team comes flying out of the blocks then momentum. But I'm feeling justified at the moment!

Wales were embarrassing, so many supposedly great players.. What a joke.

Hmm, on paper, even without Christian Eriksen, Denmark had the stronger side. They have players who play for Chelsea, Spurs, AC Milan, Valencia, Barcelona, Dortmund, RB Leipzig and not least FA Cup winners Leicester.
