    Key point there was Barelli staying on his feet when the Belgians expected him to go down claiming a penalty. 👏👏👏

    Co commentator suggesting the Italians are coked up to the eyeballs. Controversial.

    “Fuelled with energy.”

    I had my suspicions too, they do seem hyper.

    Amazed 4 or 5 yellows weren't handed out to the Italians post the penalty and the HT whistle. So many in the refs face.

    For the first Italy goal, Immobile down in the box (ironic), but jumps up pretty rapidly when the ball goes in.

    For the second, the Belgian defenders never engaged just back off, back off, shot, goal.

    Pretty soft penalty for the Belgians, but I guess it is a foul

    It's a game of two halves.

    In general, this tournament has been rubbish for pitting countries I like against other countries I like...

    Can see England beating this Italian side of they both reach the final . Nice side to watch but I think they suit the way Southgate sets up - Belgium haven't really exploited them on the break.

    Du Bruyne having a bit of a mare. Overrunning with the ball, poor control and misplacing passes.

    No, I don't think so...

    There is a certain amount of regional pride in each one, albeit that national distribution is pretty universal

    Yeah, not sure the dutch make that.
