[twinkie13]

so portugal gets in and goes to the weaker side?

 

[GWarner27]

so portugal gets in and goes to the weaker side?

draw Croatia but the winner of that looks awfully nice

 

[KJ]

Yeah Croats look the easy take, like them quite a bit but man that side of the bracket could be anyone's

 

[Toronto_Mike]

So Belgium needs a draw at least? Sweden and NI need wins to have a shot?

if Swedes and NI win, Swedes will go through base on goals scored and gd

 

[KJ]

Are we talking NI or Ireland? If both Sweden and Ireland win they would both go through with 4 pts I believe

 

[KJ]

Belgium could finish last in group and be sent packing

 

[Dollaz]

if Swedes and NI win, Swedes will go through base on goals scored and gd

Right, just trying to figure out who needs to give it their all for a win. I see Italy is playing Bonucci on a yellow in a meaningless match. WTF?

 

[ManchesterUk]

Belgium could finish last in group and be sent packing

:shake2:

 

[Dollaz]

Yeah, both Ireland and Swedes in with wins and Belgium would be left out. Belgium draw puts them in.

 

[TroyStacks]

Belgium should roll

 

[KJ]

On paper Belgium looks like one of the easiest bets of the tournament

 

[KJ]

If you set that bracket in water the right side would sink in a fraction of a second

 

[Joe Public]

As a fan of Italy, but someone who bet on Belgium ... I only have one TV. AAAAAARGH.

 

[guaranteeed]

Are we talking NI or Ireland? If both Sweden and Ireland win they would both go through with 4 pts I believe

NI already through

 

[Dollaz]

I got my Irelands mixed up earlier.

 

[guaranteeed]

its down to 3rd in this group or Albania

 

[KJ]

So Tirico was wrong when he said Albania already sitting on a plane?

 

[Dollaz]

its down to 3rd in this group or Albania

Can they get in?

ITALY DEFENDER LEONARDO Bonucci will start tonight’s match against Ireland, it has been confirmed, with the Italians making eight changes in total from the 1-0 win over Sweden.
Antonio Conte insisted pre-match that he would take the game seriously, and picking Bonucci certainly backs that assertion up.
The Juventus defender has impressed for Italy so far, providing a beautiful assist for the opening goal against Belgium, and keeping two clean sheets in two matches in the tournament.
Sky Sport Italia reports that the original plan was to rest Bonucci with the player set to be suspended for the next match if he receives a booking.
And with Italy guaranteed to finish top of Group E regardless of the outcome of this evening’s game, it was assumed Conte would leave out any players on a yellow card.
However, media reports suggest that the manager has been forced into playing Bonucci after other candidates for the centre-back role failed to impress in training.
Andrea Barzagli, another key centre-back, will also feature for the Italians owing to the perceived lack of viable alternatives, though fellow first-choice centre-back Giorgio Chiellini is rested.
Elsewhere in the team, the Azzurri are set to make a number of changes.
Conte yesterday confirmed that experienced goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon would miss out, as the 38-year-old has only recently gotten over a bout of the flu, with deputy Salvatore Sirigu set to come in in his place.
Simone Zaza and Ciro Immobile also start, with Lorenzo Insigne missing out.
In addition, Federico Bernardeschi is preferred to Stephan El Shaarawy midfield.
Italy starting XI to play Ireland: Sirigu, Barzagli, Bonucci, Ogbonna; Bernardeschi, Sturaro, Motta, Florenzi, De Sciligio; Zaza, Immobile.

 

[KJ]

It's just mind boggling, he gets a yellow watch out

Not like they need him against Spain or anything

 

[Dollaz]

WHo cares how bad the backup is?

 

[KJ]

:shake2:

[Play2win]

As a fan of Italy, but someone who bet on Belgium ... I only have one TV. AAAAAARGH.

watchespn.com

[Dollaz]

Grabbed Long to score first goal +550
Anytime goal was around +200

I got anytime goal at +375

 

[GWarner27]

are we expecting ESP to remain 1/2-goal favorites to ITA?

 

[KJ]

If anything has 0-0 written all over it, it's Italy/Spain

 

[KJ]

Swedes pressing and Belgium should score 4 or 5

 

[KJ]

Courtois just a massive save

 

[Dollaz]

This is wide open. Added some over 2.25. Added Belgium o1.5. Added o0.5 1H. Added De Bruyne +265 to score.

 

[KJ]

Lukaku looks bored

 

[KJ]

there's that strike sent into about the 18th row we all love

 

[Dollaz]

KDB with a decent chance. WOuld have been huge for me.

 

[KJ]

[KJ]

Both of us within a minute or so man...

 

[Dollaz]

KDB killing it. Just net 1

 

[Dollaz]

Call a PENALTY!

 

[Dollaz]

Why do they have Jan take those?

 

[Dollaz]

KDB have 2 assists if Lukaku was worth a shit.

 

[KJ]

KDB owning this game, Lukaku out to dinner

 

[KJ]

KDB en fuego right now

 

[Dollaz]

Good grief, someone help him out.

 

[Joe Public]

I'm with Dollaz, get someone on the other end of these crosses for fuck's sake.

 

[KJ]

He's playing a different game than anyone else on the pitch
