    Indeed it has. I think England have been better overall though. Of course we can strengthen the midfield in the second half. ;)

    Congrats @Brook! on the demise of Turkey! I swear I saw a clutch of Azerbaijani fans cheering wildly when Wales put it away with that second goal, they hate Turkey too hahaha

    Believe me or not, the only reason Azerbaijan and Turkey seems close is because both countries are ruled by corrupt dictators. Azeris don't like Turks and Turks aren't big fans of Azeris. So not surprised.

    Nobody in Middle East likes Turks. So not surprised at that. Today has been a good day. Thank you Wales :)

    Italy has a good chance to win the championship. They play very well as a team even with a lot of subs in. This will keep the starting team well rested which will give Italy an advantage.

    The only team that can beat Italy is France. Too bad they have to play in the Euro Semifinals. Winner of that game will probably win the Euro 2020(2021)

    Spain, Germany, England and Portugal doesn't have a chance

    Italy had eight players in in their third game who didn't start or played for a significant amount of time in the first two games.The team still played very well and won the game.

    I'm sad USA isn't in the World Cup like really down about it ever since a kid I always get soccer fever for World Cup.

    One of my best friends since childhood still back home in Queens is from Bosnia and he's always made a joke that Bosnia will a Basketball summer Olympics before USA ever wins a World Cup (I still think I have the better chance of winning?).

    I guess because I'm 50% Irish and 50% Italian (families merged in NYC many of generations ago lol) I guess I'll be rooting for team Italy and is team Ireland in the World Cup? What about Latvia for my other halves side of her family? Fk man it's just not going to feel the same ;-(

    Sepp Piontek. What a tournament that was. You know they didn't qualify for the tournament in the first place. Due to civil war, Yugoslavia was disqualified and instead Denmark was invited to participate. Players cut their beach vacations short to come to the tournament and won it all. :)

    England, and Southgate to be fair, keeps proving me wrong. Their best performance yet.
    Putting my Villa glasses on, it was Super Jack Grealish who changed the game :cool:
    Gongrats @donkey , path to the Final is now open for you.

    Group F was supposed to be a group of death, all three already out of the tournament.

    I think denmark got screwed. That was not a penalty. England vs Italy it is. Probably gonna be 90 minutes of guys throwing themselves to the ground.

    I love it. For the first time in a long time I won’t have a preference in the final. I love Italy due to Mancini being a former Galatasaray head coach. He was a class act and he loved the fans and fans loved him.

    On the other hand, there is England. I lived in England for 6 months back in 1999 and fell in love with their love for their National Team. I still have family leaving in England and I love visiting there every chance I get.

    I like both teams and for me it will be an absolute soccer fest. Game starts at 10 pm here in Turkey. I will tailgate at the hotel and be lit before the game starts. I love it
