Belgium haven't been running at them all match, certainly not enough anyway. No pace.

Italians just kicking them now

Italians being a tad reckless now.

Big chance for Origi

Luckily he's had no incidents where playing an advantage cropped up.

Brilliant save!

Game of the tournament so far, and that's without the late drama my fingers are crossed for.

I suppose this is a danger of the Italian style......that they might lose two or three key defenders by the later stages unless they make sure they keep count and take it in turns to bring people down

Well whatever you'd have said would've been wrong so be glad you didn't.

This is a very good game, I thought the German one was a good one as well.

A wee bit but I think there's an element of cynicism to it. They know what they're doing.

I don't think so, but each to their own opinion!

Fellaini was definitely being fouled in the box there.

I wonder if Immobile has a sister called Donna......

Jason C

How many more chances do Belgium want.

Two great balls into the box and nobody reacts.

Oh my goodness!

Belgium not having players all over the six yard line for Mertens' cross is bewildering.

Are you still sure after yet another Origi miss?

Mark F

Belguim needed to be like this in the previous 75 minutes!

Italy has been very organised and dangerous.

Fellaini just has no idea how to play football. Completely lost when the ball fell at his feet there. All he does is elbow people, not a footballer he's a thug.

Isn't Thiago Motta Brasilian ??

Edit :

Wiki confirms Motta played for the full Brasilian team a few times in 2003 !!!!?!?

You would think both these teams should still finish 1 and 2 in group

No, that's Thiago Silva.

Origi has been terrible, he has made Lukaku - who was pretty dreadful - seem like a world beater.
