Ouch. On replay, he easily could have broken a finger there. I don't see the foul, but I do think he's actually hurt.
They were likable in ‘94?This was easily the most likable Italian team since 1994, but this sucks
probably not but I was rooting for them as I liked BaggioThey were likable in ‘94?
Roberto or Dino?probably not but I was rooting for them as I liked Baggio
1) like that, but not sooo that, but 2) Yup, agreed.Don't like the end-game shenanigans, but (1) pretty much everyone does stuff like that, and (2) Italy outplayed Belgium all game long. They deserved the win.
Imagine replaysImagine watching that goal and focusing on the guy on the ground and not, you know, the incredible technique on display.
View: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1411073000435240963Hats off to Spinazzola. He’s been immense all tournament. A sad way for him to go off.
They need a whole new defense though.With the World Cup so close, and the next Euro only 3 years from now, Belgium can still make it happen. The window hasn’t closed yet.
Yeah.. one legitimate injury out of about 10?Fucking time waster.
Because they are a top team. They don't need to writhe on the ground and cry like children to ref. It re-enforces the prejudice against the game by the casual fans watching a supposed the champion caliber team acting out like 5 year olds.This has been egregious, but why do folks pretend this is a problem with Italy? Portugal combines it with even dirtier play. Every South American team and most in CONCACAF are no different. It sucks and it needs to be stamped out, but it’s not just these guys.
He’s been so good, especially in his almost telepathic connection with Insigne. Now Emerson has to step up, which he is capable of, especially since it’s an attack-first role. But there will be some adjustment period.
So you’re offended on behalf of casual viewers? Very noble.It re-enforces the prejudice against the game by the casual fans watching a supposed the champion caliber team acting out like 5 year olds.
Or, if they don’t want to do that, have the time added on total visible all the game so that everyone can see it being added to as the game progresses.Dumb question but don't they eliminate time wasting if they just shifted to pausing the clock during deadballs? Do that and theres no more incentive for time wasting.
