Starting Berardi over Chiesa was questionable to start with but he's been useless 30 mins in.

Donnarumma is no Dino Zoff.

That could have been called hand ball (the arm was certainly away from the body).

I'm kinda surprised that one wasn't.

Crap ref

Crap ref

& VAR though?

& VAR though?

Yeah, isn't that why VAR was brought in? To correct things that the ref has missed?

Not sure how Mancini concluded Florenzi was the problem out right but

That was a pretty clear foul on the Turkish forward just then. This ref started out okay, but he's struggling now.

That'll do.

That'll do.

They're not going to like that in Ankara.

The Rafa - Djoker French Open semi-final started 2 hours before the Turkey - Italy match and will likely finish 90 minutes later than the soccer lol

Fins will surprise today - not sure if that's a draw or a shock win. But since I was told to go big I'll go with a Finland win. Finland usually plays their best around the summer solstice so there's that too.
