Euro 2020: Semi-Charmed Life

[Ale Xander]

Nice shot

 

[pokey_reese]

Italy looks like a different team today, no crispness on the passing

 

[JCizzle]

Damn, that happened FAST

 

[67YAZ]

What a counter! Chiesa!!!!!

 

[BaseballJones]

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IT IS!!!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

That was a supremo counter

 

[pokey_reese]

Oh shit!

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

What a goal!

 

[Catcher Block]

Three Spanish defenders, and none of them tried to close down on the ball. Fantastic finish.

 

[67YAZ]

The more they replay the finish, the more perfect it looks. Wow.

 

[slamminsammya]

take me to church!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Seems like both teams had players who kept the ball at their feet just a bit too long before that and Chiesa did not make that mistake.

 

[67YAZ]

Both teams make a switch up top. This will be very interesting.

 

[Kliq]

Italy score some gorgeous goals.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Helluva shot. Defender should have pressured him more.,

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

take me to church!

Had to be Chiesa, didn't it?

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Is it in the Italian constitution that they always have to have a defender that looks like Chiellini?

 

[nolasoxfan]

Great shot by Chiesa. If you watch the replay, you can see the split second after the goal where he decides against taking off his shirt in celebration. Funny moment to catch.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Second missed chance by Oyarzabal!

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

That was an inch from perfect by Spain there

 

[nolasoxfan]

ooofff... Spain missed an opportunity there.

 

[coremiller]

King Felipe: My kingdom, my kingdom for a striker!

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Spain should be up 3-1. So many missed opportunities.

 

[67YAZ]

Chiesa is all class.

 

[slamminsammya]

my old tennis coach would have said oyarzabal went to the ray charles school for heading the ball

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is it in the Italian constitution that they always have to have a defender that looks like Chiellini?

I think it's just been him the whole time. It feels like he is about 100 years old.

 

[67YAZ]

Passina's got that great quizzical eyebrow.

 

[Kliq]

Spain desperately need someone who can actually shoot the ball.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Morata reminded me of Ben Simmons just there.

 

[coremiller]

Spain needed more players attacking the box there. Morata had no passing options.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Unai Simon is a real adventure

 

[slamminsammya]

comenciamo la epoca di italian time wasting uff

 

[67YAZ]

Weak, Berardi, weak.

 

[Ale Xander]

EQUAL!!!!!!

 

[67YAZ]

That was gorgeous interplay.

 

[Kliq]

Wow, and just like that Spain put it all together.

 

[canderson]

That was FAST

 

[cromulence]

Wow. And now England will get a tired team coming off extra time. Ugh.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Wow! Nice finish

 

[slamminsammya]

empatouuuuuu

 

[BaseballJones]

Great goal by Spain. Dammit.

 

[Catcher Block]

The finish is so simple, but incredibly difficult. Wow.

 

[slamminsammya]

morata has always been surprisingly fast for someone that large

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Oh dear goodness that was a thing of beauty.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Massive goal for Morata

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

What a match!!

 

[coremiller]

Golazzzooo! But uncharacteristically terrible Italian defending. Nobody picked up Morata between the lines, then no one tracked his run.

 

[cromulence]

ooof Donnarumma. Lucky.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Ref was briefly wearing blue to put Moreno off that shot

 

[Catcher Block]

Gerard had about 5 good options there and chose the 7th or 8th best.
