Probably the best match in this tournament

The real test for Italy

 

[Ziyad]

It's so unfair that we get to see this now while a shitty team like Portugal goes to the final.

 

[firmino]

it's a test for germany, too, as they usually shit their pants against italy.

 

[Armes]

tough shit this one.

*Cough Cough* Easy there, boy

 

[Inter2010]

Germany - Italy...This should have been the final... my pridiction italy 3- 1

 

[wera]

Cannot wait for this one. I predict a closr game, but Italy going through in the end. Wouldn't mind either team going forward.

 

[Caecuban]

At least this will be on the weekend!

 

[ScottishInterista]

Will have to join the list of the many games i have missed due to work

 

[Shark]

I'm predicting a 0-0 and Germany going through on penalties.

 

[ADRossi]

De Rossi injured, Motta suspended, Sturaro to start

That Motta yellow was dumb. You could see De Rossi barely made it to 60 minutes. Even if he was fit he wouldn't be able to last a whole game.

Now is when a Jorginho would be nice to have, but Sturaro will have to do the job. I don't see him playing well at the base of a midfield 3 so perhaps it will be Parolo that drops down.

Saw a grand total of 55 minutes of the Round of 16.

If Candreva was fit, I would drop down Parolo and play Florenzi centrally.

Sturaro was terrible against Ireland, so I'm not optimistic.

I trust Sturaro to play good.

Tbf every time i have been working in the bar with the games on tv, most have been shit according to the patrons

 

[CoolMan44]

So I thought yellow cards were wiped just before the quarter finals. If someone receives a yellow for this game, are they suspended for the semi? Then I guess yellow cards get wiped after the quarter-finals, so no one misses the final, which I guess makes sense.

Yeah. This is a major concern of mine; if we advanced, there's a good chance we'll be without one of BBC and Ogbonna will have to start

Conte indicating that De Rossi might start. Probably won't be able to get more than 60 minutes out of him, but I'll take it.
