Italy were CLASSIC Italy. Three centre halves - kicked everything that moved - put their bodies on the line to block everything. Midfield were tireless. Every time Belgium broke, they drew a foul and a yellow card. Clinical in attack. Yet they are a poor side - but just KNOW how to win tournament football matches.

Could have been 3-0 if not for a cracking save from Immobile's cracking shot...
I do love a bit of Italy, classic FIFA team, chop players down, spray the ball about nicely, cheeky ball across the front of goal for a smashing volley to finish.
Fantastic ! No points, no glory. Sadly, it's the only way to get rid of that clown of manager we have. Fellaini is the top-scorer of this Belgian squad ... can you imagine. By the way ... Wilmots used to play for STVV St-Truiden and one of his children plays for them (-17's I think). Hopefully Wilmots will go and manage some German team in the future.
I wonder if RD and KM might get some satisfaction out of the defeat by Italy. After all, RD's attempt to reform the JPL from within was treated with hostility and contempt by the rest of the JPL.
As for Wilmots, skywalker, we (Charlton) were ready to take him off your hands, but sadly the deal brokered by one of our fans, Colin, didn't succeed, so we fell back on the ample figure of Russell Slade.
Still, all is not lost. According to Slaven Bilic, you only need a win and a draw. Morgen weer een dag!
