Belgium
Italy
- Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard are both huge doubts for Friday's quarter-final clash with Italy after both coming off injured against Portugal on Sunday.
- Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco are the obvious replacements for both and you have to say it looks highly unlikely either will recover in time.
- Fitness permitting, Thomas Vermaelen is likely to keep his place in Belgium's back three.
- Giorgio Chiellini wasn't risked against Austria on Saturday but Roberto Mancini will hope to have him available to face Belgium. Alessandro Florenzi is also still a doubt.
- Federico Chiesa has a real chance of replacing Domenico Berardi in Italy's front three.
- Mancini has a real dilemma in midfield with both Matteo Pessina and Manuel Locatelli knocking at the door. Nicolo Barella's place in the team is seriously under threat.
Belgium was overrated. Their midfield is very weak as compared to Italy
NO HAZARD NO PARTY
The worst ever rating i see in this site. Italy play amazing and only 6.68 i laugh a lot haha
@mor7al That's because of the 5 substitutions.
This was a superb game.Ratings don't reflect the performance of both teams
Forza Italiaaaaaa!!!
Belgium are toothless in attack
@footballover NO HAZARD NO PARTY. Belgium are only a 'good' team without Hazard They become a 'great' team with Hazard fit, not injured and at his best. The game against Portugal was nothing other than a pyrrhic victory.
@footballover That's what they get with Lukaku up top.
Hi all. Where can i find first 10 minutes throw in stats?
@dzorgo What do you need those for ?
@dzorgo don't think they count thrown ins
@3shots Actually they do. You need to go to Chalboard, then Passes, Throw-ins and select 0-10 min interval
if they book more players for diving it might stop them going down so easy
I hope the referee watches the “foul” that led to the penalty in the halftime break and realize he made a serious mistake…kind of disappointed from VAR
@fabr1c it was a clear shove in the back. That's why it wasn't overturned.
effd d
HOW is that a penalty?!?!?!
@Nanami I agree, that is a soft soft penalty. I think the same about the red card in Switzerland-Spain game as well...some of these VAR decision are just soft...the way it is going with these decision they are turning football into a ballet...ridiculous...
@Nanami nudge in the back, soft but it's a pen
@3shots thats the absolute definition of dive. material to show in refrees class
@3shots looks more like a dive to me but whatever
@fabr1c Doku was just waiting to be touched before going to ground, naive defending
@3shots Touching is not fouling
Over 3.5 goals.
OOOOOAOAOAOAOOOOA INSIGNEEEE OOoooOoooooo
OOoooOO oo barellaaaaa OOOoooOOOO
@MorrisBuck88 goaaaaalll
Italy win
@MorrisBuck88 Forza Italia!
@michael10 FORZAAAAAA SIIII
@MorrisBuck88 nah
@Gambledmyvirginity we will see
Italy win the match.
Italy must kick KDB, 1st tap on his ankle will see him subbed
@3shots the f? That's not fair play :)
Over 1.5
@KingKeno Cash It!
One of these teams will be in the semi final
@Chilly_B bold call
Italy could not do anything with Austria in the main time. Belgium has a chance. Most likely, it is a draw in regular time, and then it is difficult to predict who will win.
Overtime and Italy will qualify to the next round!
Nicolo Barella will shine if he plays!
@MasterBet Goal and Assist he deserves more rating
A very tough one to predict bearing in mind the unpredictable nature of this tournament, but nevertheless I am for Belgium win.
2-1 for Italy but maybe last minutes 2-2
Over 2.5 goals.
It's either going to be end to end attacking all game or a 0-0 draw and penalties. No in-between
Draw .... penalties will decide.
2-1
Why is everyone so sure Italy will win? They were unconvincing against Austria, and surely Belgium is a better team than Austria.
@LeChiffre After 45 minutes, Italy's play is demolishing Belgium. Italy attack constantly, they have a very conniving play. Probably you, due to intellectual dishonesty, fails to recognise the true value.
@LeChiffre Italy did very well in their group against three good (and widely under rated) sides
@LeChiffre italy are way betteer
@LeChiffre Probably because Bruyne and Hazard might not play
i'll be shocked if italy don't win
Verrati is an enormous liability: selfish, sticks to his personal duels without respect to scoring goals and assisting his team mates to do so. Very immature: absolutely not a team player! Also, if the opponent dispossesses Verratti, Italy can get caught in transition! If I were Belgium's coach, I would definitely target him as the weak link in the Italian machine!
@Zoltan spoken like a Sheffield Utd supporter.
@Zoltan Great analysis! Now I invite you to scroll up. You'll see he's the highest rated starting player on the pitch.
@Zoltan Spoken like a dumbass
@Zoltan no
All depends on who’s fit for Belgium . If De Bruyne, Hazard are fit , Belgium should qualify . Italy are decent team but yet to beat a big team in this tournament .
1-1
Penalties...
Please keep predicting Belgium to lose 1-2, worked out well last time
@Aereze Last time they had a lot of luck and luck doesn't last long.
forza italia i think they will win but who knows
Italy will win.
Too ez for Italy, even easier than Austria.
@SlobbaN : If Kevin De Bruyne & Eden Hazard can play Belgium should always win. Italy never can handle a Lukaku + De Bruyne + 2 Hazards, forget it.... Then they have still a Courtois in goal and someone like Doku on the bench, mass talented team, easy for BE if they can get fit.
Belgium 2-1 italy
6-0 Belgium or 0-1 Italy.
@Gronounours great predition
