High pressure, bad match preparation and misguided tactics could explain a lot.

MLS.

Even supposedly good players like Bradley and Dempsey are now brimming with the MLS disease and are bad.

Che storia figata, ragazzo!



I was on a plane and couldn't watch the game, when I arrived at Madrid the dude at the security check saw my passport and was like "you missed the game? you should see the highlights as soon as you can to see what Keylor did"

I'm trapped in an infinite customs line at Heathrow and I don't care because I'm watching this over and over, holy poo poo!

Italy are going to either get bummed or squeak out a lucky draw. Losing Chiellini really hosed everything up.

Brave to play without a midfield.

Italy's midfield shape leaving huge spaces in the middle of the pitch that Spain are predictably abusing them through.

need a change of shape and probably another midfielder immediately.

Playing in France has somehow made Verratti worse than when he was in Serie B.

It's a 3-4-3 the way that Candreva and Spinazzola are positioning themselves.

could have posted a dozen different screenshots from the first 30 min showing Veratti and 6 different Spaniards in midfield with all the Italians spread impossibly wide. yes let's give the greatest pixies on earth free run of the center. real dumb.
