      Belgiumโ€™s golden generation out again. There is a lot of pressure with that kind of tag and whenever Belgium go deep in a tournament you can see it weighing heavily. Italy are a very experienced side which is a quality that cannot be underestimated.

          I think if Hazard was fit to play Belgium could have won it

            The cheating really does ruin games and I think players, pundits ans refs need to just call it out for what it is instead of saying โ€˜they used their experienceโ€™ or โ€˜theyโ€™re good at the dark artsโ€™. Itโ€™s cheating, just say it.
            Saying that it was still a cracking game.

              True Mike, that’s what I was alluding to. I get tired of seeing this; Italians mainly.

                Moos, sorry my Friend, not at the Races with this one. It’s a little dragging for me to watch back to back games.

                Maybe Tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚

                  Could very well end up a England v Italy final. As a neutral wasn’t too worried who won but it was a very exciting game not technically too great, players from both sides were falling down at the end but to be fair it looked real, playing at this tempo can make you pull up towards the end, we seen it before even in the EPL.

                    Not sure how any of us could be disappointed with this game it had everything was played at great pace and quality and contained a great second goal by Insigne.

                    Surely one of the best games of the tournament so far with a great Semi Final looming.

                        Martinez has done to Belgium’s golden generation what Sven did to England’s.

                        Easily the best squad in the world for the last 5 years and yet have achieved nothing

                          I think as soon as you start hearing the words โ€œgolden generationโ€ labelled on a countryโ€™s team, you might as well forget any success there and then. Itโ€™s the best team that wins things, not the best players. As I said before, the casual way the Belgium defenders just stood off Insigne as he lined up his shot to score just epitomised the difference between the sides. No way the Italian defenders would have done such a thing, they would have closed down such a player immediately in packs.

                            Also, the advent of social media over the last 10/15 years has created players who are now brands and itโ€™s inflated their egos through the roof.

                                Stevo, that’s not entirely true. Zlatan for example is extremely humble and always gives thanks to God. That he happens to be God himself in his own mind is besides the point!

                                  Big game tonight in Rome let’s hope for the best.

                                  Team selection rumours suggest a return to a back four and a return to the team for Mount and Sancho potentially coming in if Saka doesn’t make it because of injury.๐Ÿคž

                                    That so-called ‘golden generation’ weren’t even fit to tie Stuart Pearce’s Laces.

                                    The 90 and 96 era in my view was the Best.

                                      Watching the game yesterday I got sick and tired of the Italian cheating. I know they have been doing it for years. That little twerp Verati is just about the worst. They are the opitamy of cowards. They hold their heads when tney havent been touched etc etc,

                                      And we had Oliver in the other game…sorry Ed but he is useless. Never a Swiss red card

                                      Now preparing for this evening!

                                        PS IT reminds of the old joke…” What is the smallest book in the world?”
                                        And Im sure you all know the answer!

                                          Nil..the game has changed a lot since 90 and 96. I do not think you can compare.
                                          There are downsides to to days level though and as recently highlighted the “cheating” is becoming more evident, some excell at it!!!! It is awful to watch and hope the Refs getter smarter and tougher with it. On the subject of Refs, noticeable this tournament that Refs are letting the game flow more or is it my imagination? To be honest , not seen that many games but did watch the Spainish match, which I thought was poor but enjoyed the 60 min I watched of the Italy/belgium game
