Sweatpants or not, that was a lot worse than 3 goals without him playing so well.

The games today were so much better than the games on Saturday.

they had nothing to play for so the first half was ug from italy ... the one good thing ill take away from this effort is Conte had said going in to the tournament that the team would be one of the best conditioned teams (which made alot of people roll their eyes as the team is up there as the oldest team competing) but theyve looked fresh here at the end

11 day break for 8 of italys starters bodes well for tomorrow

#ITA 's success is in the ground they cover. Covered 119.7 km v #BEL , 113.6 km v #SWE . 2 wins. A lazy 103.9 km v #IRL . Loss.

Speaking of being fresh, is it true that France had three more days of rest than Ireland before today's game? That's some pretty advantageous scheduling for the hosts.

Yes, and they also get another extremely long break before the quarters.

France and Belgium both with some serious suspensions for (ridiculous) yellow card accumulation - Rami and Kante out for France and Vermaelen will miss the Wales clash for Belgium.

Claude Puel will be named Saints manager shortly. He just led Nice to 4th in Ligue 1.

Not a bad pickup.

No Candreva is a pretty big blow. Hope Florenzi can handle the workload.

lol - It's just the classic matchup, I figure Germany has to win one eventually right? Right? Right?

Ramos really digging there. Why doesn't he get a yellow for embellishment? Especially if they're complaining after, should for sure be shown.

I don't even think Ramos' mother likes Sergio.
