Quarter-finals: Italy - Belgium

[Bluenine]

Patrick Vieira after Italy battered Switzerland 3-0: “Italy lack intensity and haven’t played any big teams.”

Karma

This match is on ESPN @3:00pm EDST in the US. Excellent, right during happy hour at the old homestead!

 

[ElDuccio]

De bruyne and Hazard will maybe not play

De bruyne and Hazard will maybe not play

That's the same information we had days ago

But seriously, when will we know for sure? When lineups come?

Is there a way that both teams lose so both Barella and Lukaku can go home and rest?

Decent chance Barella is benched for Pessina anyway.

 

[IM21]

I am sorry to all the Italian fans, but if Chiellini will be starting I really hope Lukaku scores a hat trick on his stupid looking face.

I just dont feel like rooting for Italy if Barella and Bastoni aint playing.

If Mancini starts any midfield other than Locatelli - Jorginho - Barella he’s asking for trouble imo.

I think verratti is the right option, while Locatelli definitely offers more offensively, you need someone experienced like him when kdb is playing

 

[brehme1989]

De Bruyne in, wonder in what condition.

 

[Eddie]

don’t know who to support..... seeing bonucci and chiellini VS lukaku feels like playing RuBe.

 

[brehme1989]

Poor Belgians trying to appear passionate about their anthem and just standing there like Legos after that impressive performance by Italy

 

[Il Drago]

I really can't support a team that has fucking Chiellini in the starting lineup. Let's go big Rom!

 

[Ethor]

Want Italy to win, Big Rom to score a brace with an assist, Chiellini gets a red and Bastoni score the winner. Damn the ESPN MLS announcers for this match. Grande.

 

[ADRossi]

That Barella touch was beautiful

 

[brehme1989]
