UEFA Euro 2016 Championship [Official Thread]

25 Euros is nothing that's going to be a GREAT match, both will be hungry for 3 points. Don't pass up that opportunity us in America would die for the chance to see that game!

now it's up to 30 euros with only 40 tickets left according to stubhub. As a DFB fan I wish they played in the south! And unfortunately I'll be back in the U.S. By the time the next round starts

Belgium is, along with England one of the most overrated sides. Quality wise they have fantastic individual players, but as a team they can't function.

Lol at Romelu Lukaku. He is getting bossed so hard by the Italian defense...

[Kiarash]

Beautiful goal by Grazianoooooooooo

[Kiarash]

The eye-talians are next my friend!!!

Belgium got owned so bad by Italy. That screamer from Pelle in the end just killed the Belgians.

WOW what a finish

Gotta say im impressed by Conte. He has the worst squad in Italian history yet he just took care of one of the best teams in this tournament. Organized defense and calm finishes.


k!ram raast shod for both goals

Very impressive game by Italy.I enjoyed it with all of Belgiums good players it was definatly a great game by Buffon and his boys.I like their PUMA white kits too very nice.

[EKBATAN]

Belgium didn't deserve to lose, especially by a 2 goal margin. But it's football and anything can happen. Hard luck to them!

Some of the IRIB commentators are so messed up

Alifar was commentating Poland - Northern Ireland. He is known for giving informations of the stadiums the teams play in. He gets all the informations from Wikipedia. Before the game, an Iranian called Amir Doulab edited the Wikipedia article and added his name as architect. And Alifar didn't realize that the article was edited and read his name live on TV

Lol Alifar is a joke. The man loves to talk about how bad defaye khati is while 90% of teams play with 4 at the back who hold the line. He things he knows his shit and he is a coach.

The Italy Belgium game lived up to expectations. Best game of the Euros so far. Entertaining end to end. Tough for Belgium to swallow but the Italian defence didn't let them get quality shots on goal and Lukaku should have scored on that 1v1 on the counter.

Surprising indeed, I thought most Belgians were exaggerating how troubled their defense would be without komoany. I guess when you miss your captain and best player in arguably the most important part of the pitch it'll take a serious toll, especially when the rest of the team plays as poorly as Belgium did.

Eki is right, conte is really getting the most out of this team. On paper this squad isn't even as good as the 2010 side that disappointed in South Africa, has half the potential and played a ln impressive game today. If Italy plays disciplined like this they will be dangerous. Graziano pelle is one of the most under rated players in the world he will be huge for this team.

Venezuela has 11 no-name stars.. what a feast to watch them play... see them against Argentina if you can .. btw soccer is not even #1 sport in Venezuela..

wasn't too impressed with Italy.. Belgian players couldn't care less...

Not sure what game you guys watched, but it looked like to me that Belgium bottled the game. They had so many clear cut chances, which also exposed the Italian defence on many occasions. Poor finishing cost Belgium the game.

Not actually sure what Conte sees in Nainggolan that he wants him so desperately at Chelsea, he basically took a long shot every time he got hold of the ball. Not very intelligent considering Buffon is in goals.

not sure about "clear cut" i didnt sense any danger when they attacked really...other than a couple of headers. It was just a good organization by Conte that diffused them.

Chelsea fans should be very happy with Conte next year. He will make these guys work. He like nainggolan cuz he's a work horse and that the type of midfielders he likes. N takes those long range shots pretty good but he's not always accurate. I personally dont rate him much but i can see why Conte like him. He has strange taste in certain players. I wouldnt be surprised if he made Chelsea make some random purchases of unknown players that fans might get upset why he's choosing them. No one like Giacherrinni for example but he's been Conte's guy since he joined Juve.
