The opening was so dumb. Classic UEFA. Also wtf with the remote controlled car delivering the ball? I know someone is going to be hit by that thing before this thing ends. 

I'm such a dunce sometimes. I totally thought Jorginho was Brazilian. 

I've only watched him play 50 times.

He is. He could have played for either country and chose Italy.

Italy's strategy of aiming for the Turkish player's hands doesn't seem to be paying off yet.

They are forcing it a lot right now instead of being patient and working Turkey around.

I feel fairly certain the Giorgio Chiellini was on the cover of my mother’s latest AARP magazine. 

It must have been AARP’s Euro 2020 preview with a look at the managers and one player who are over 50 years of age.

The Mane Strategy. 

Can someone edit the title?  That apostrophe is making me ragey and we've got a month to go.

Even Jose thinks they are parking the bus too much.

Italy with 47 shots and we go to halftime 0-0.

i don't know what constitutes a handball any longer. that last one was indeed a quick ball, and running requires the swinging of arms, but that arm was well away from the turkish player's body.

None of us do. And it changes in each match by each official.

Agreed 

The arm was away from his body, BUT…

You could see that he was trying to pull his arm away from the path of the ball when he got hit. He definitely was not leaving it out there to hit the ball. 

I think that in most leagues in the West these days, that’s a handball, but according to the rules of this tournament, apparently it is not.

Holy shit. It finally worked!

Italy definitely feeling it now... if they have this level of movement going forward, they're going to be dangerous.

Yep, classic Italian defense structure with a precision, Germany-esque attacking/control skill.    That’s a damn dangerous team

The Dutch with a coach who was fired by an mls team and doesn’t know who is on his roster.   Hard pass.   Now they probably win it
 
 

Honestly, if they shit the bed it gives them time to fire him and replace with ten Hag before the WC. So there is a bright side.

How the hell de Bour got the job is still beyond me.

darkhorse pick:  Denmark.  i'm not saying this will be a repeat of 1992, but this team has some good players in key positions.  

Schmeichel in goal; Christensen at center-back; Eriksen, Hojbjerg, and Delaney in the midfield; Braithwaite and Poulsen up top.  they can give Belgium some trouble in Group B.

oh, and Denmark plays all of its group stage matches in Copenhagen.  Belgium is getting fucked.  they play Denmark in Copenhagen and Russia in St. Petersburg.

rocksolid D trumps no #9.  eriksen is the wildcard here.  if we get 17/18 eriksen then dark is your horse.  34 appearances but only 4 goals at inter this season.

Soccer with much less handball penalties is a much better version of the game. 
 

intentionally making yourself bigger and blocking a shot/cross/pass with your arm = penalty

 

everything else = humans were born with arms

Imagine with a stadium full of naked masturbating Italian womens... God I love Italy

Why is the French national team so goos yet their domestic league such a joke? And why Serie A really good but the Italian national team poor?
