Is it COVID necessity that puts Italy in Rome for all their group games, or just marketing? Gonna be great for atmosphere, but seems like a real extra advantage to what’s the top side in the group anyhow.
It’s a shame his career hasn’t ever kicked on. He moves so much like Aguero it’s almost uncanny. End product just doesn’t seem to be there
You’d think Seferovic were a fullback on the overlap the way he hit that. Just an atrocious miss
I may have to switch over to ESPN. I had forgotten how bad Robbie Savage is in the commentary box.
The ESPN commentary isn't much better. The play-by-play guy sounds like he's calling it on his cell phone.
Oh, Embolo!
He sounds like he wants to be Gus Johnson.
What does not allowing a goal from set pieces during qualifications (which occurred over two years?) matter in this match?
No, that was how it was designed pre-Covid. If you were a host country and a top seed you get all your games at home.
Swiss couldn’t be dominating any harder. Including blocked, and off target shots, it’s 15-1. Corners are 8-1.
yeah, he’s missing just that little extra in his technique that separates the excellent from the world class. Of course, Aguero has that little extra is huge surplus.
Switzerland falling into a shell to defend a 1-0 was a needless risk. They were controlling the match and the way this tournament is setup a single win almost books your ticket to the knockout.
Actually it was his knee that was offside. Way closer than it looked on the first replays there.
No, well short . They are allowed 50% capacity which would be around that number. UEFA were trying to sell tickets to drum up more interest from the locals for around $30.
This play by play guy is nearly Gus Johnson bad. I’ve been lured into the room twice by excitement in his voice that was not readily understandable.
I didn't think he was that bad, but whenever a goal was scored he was really close to saying "Oh my goodness gracious!"
