The Swiss have started this game pretty well.

Both teams spending most of the first 13 mins rolling around on the floor

 

[PuntsWolf]

Italy are dreadful.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Really should be 1-0 Switzerland.

 

[White Wolf]

Already a few chances in this game, shame nobody is clinical. Switzerland looking a decent side. They press well and play on the front foot.

Italy playing lower level Premier League rubbish like Darmian and El Shaaraway and seem really shit. Not sure why Zaccagni isn't starting?

Has a proper Italian 1-0 shithousery about it with a goal on the hour mark.

Italy are shocking trying to break the Swiss press. Half-panicking all the time and giving it away time after time.

Edit: Oatley and Barton just confirming it’s been 15 turnovers just from Italian defenders. Now 16!

Where was Murat Yakin before Switzerland seems to have them really well set up.

Basel => Grasshoppers => Sion => Suisse

Basel => Grasshoppers => Sion => Suisse

Like what I’ve seen from his side

 

[PuntsWolf]

Swiss finding it far to easy to pass into the forwards dropping deep. Italy midfield neither pressing to cut out pass, cutting the lanes or being tight to the forward.

 

[Jack Regan]

Really good goal that.

Agree, was surprised he’s been “stuck” in the Swiss League.

There you go, Suisse keep on like this and Yakin might get a job in a big league anyway (though it’s always possible he just fits int’l football better).

 

[Dire Wolf]

Really good goal that.

Yeah, nice goal.

 

[Alan]

I mean how much space do you want to give him?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This is a bad, bad, bad, bad Italian team.

 

[jd1981]

Switzerland been very good but Italy would struggle to stay up in the PL.
Midfield is a shambles

 

[Dire Wolf]

This is a bad, bad, bad, bad Italian team.

They have 2 players who look decent, Chiesa and Barella. The rest are below average.

 

[jd1981]

Great hit

 

[Jack Regan]

Not how Italy planned on starting the second half.

Great finish.
