Chiellini

Proper defender. Loves his role. But omg, He craves attention. Generally pissing about. Constantly kissing his wrist.

Because he's very very very good. He's a centre back, he doesn't need speed.

Which 'progressive coach' in Italy's past 30+ games has worked it out then?

h had it right for about 50 minutes, then bottled it. Let’s also not forget Austria who gave him a seeing to before basso bottling it.

Yet on a simultaeous thread you're sober and angry.

Again, you haven't thought this through.

Sleep well and have a drink of water before you go to bed.

As I said, sober, and angry. Why is this so hard for you to under?
 
By the way, you need to point out where I said I was pissed. Accusations need to be backed up.

You call me a melt, and that's fine but being called inarticulate because you can't complete a well know phrase means I'm name calling. Carry on digging.
 
It's funny, I was just thinking before how much I loved him, I was thinking I was on my Jacks but clearly that's not the case.

Made me laugh when he tried to strangle Saka with his own shirt in the 96th minute and took a yellow card to stop him. I should have been angry but something about the guy. An endearing shithouse.
 
In answer to the OP I know exactly what you mean. Right now I am not so keen on him, but I dare say in years to come my attitude to him will soften.
Great player thpugh.
 
I’ve been so impressed with him all tournament; however I don’t like things like when he grabbed Saka by the back of the neck. I think there’s something wrong with the rules of football when a player can do that, basically saying I can’t stop him legally and he’s in behind so I’ll just plain cheat, but it’s not a red card.

great player and a real character though I agree.
 
He reminds me of Tuco in the Spaghetti Westerns....

His defensive partner, Bonucci, for me is equally as good and has been for years, even if his character doesn't generate the same headlines. As a pair, they have been exceptional.

I half expect Chiellini to retire but maybe he'll carry on as the world Cup is only next year and he missed out last time.

Outside of Bonnucci, Cheillini and Chiesa I wasn't that impressed with the rest of them.

I thought once they got into the game Verrati and Jorghino were very good as they have been all tournament (or since Verrati came back).

Their movement, pass rate, pass quality and availability changed the game for me. Jorghinho is being talked about as a Ballon D'or contender unsurprisingly

That situation is where the rugby 10 minute sin bin would fill the gap between a yellow and a red card.
 
Good as he is grabbing Saka by the scruff of the neck and hauling him down in the way that he did was absolutely disgraceful and how something like that is only deemed a yellow is quite incredible IMHO

Also the studs up lunge into Grealish was a red card card all day long.

Italy were the better side but decisions could have changed the game and I also thought it was a penalty for Sterling.

Shame for whatever reason we are serial bottle jobs at penalties but this one was so bad I actually don't feel sorry for us

I thought that foul was dangerous foul play and warranted a red card, as did the foul onGrealish !

Agree. Yet not a lot was made of it on the night and a yellow wasn’t contested.
Would have broke my back if I were Saka hitting the ground like that 😩
