But I don't think he should have started. Belgium's midfield just can't keep up with Jorginho and Verrati. No point having a deadly trident in Lukaku, KDB and Doku when balls don't even get to them enough. | ||

So many top teams and high-quality games in the top bracket - almost feels like a winner's bracket. Doubt tomorrow's loser's bracket will be this fun  | ||

Such a shame, really. Martinez can go back to EPL football with this type of negative mentality. Belgium deserves better leadership. | ||

De Bruyne is the only player who moves the ball forward and if he's not playing well there's not much left. That's fucking insane, what are you talking about? Italy was the better team but it's not like Belgium didn't have a lot of opportunities to get even. Belgium doesn't have much depth but their core team is really good, behond just KDB or Hazard. | ||

Was cheering for Belgium but I can respect and get behind this Italy. Some theatrics the last 10 minutes, but that's a huge improvement over my expectation. Best performance of any team so far. Italy vs England finals now plz. | ||

Although I have a funny feeling that Mr. Own Goal will show up once again to secure the Golden Boot award... | ||

Can't expect a Dutch person to make an objective comment about Belgium, regardless of Belgium being superior the last couple of years. Outclassed by Italy is an overstatement, but at the same time Italy was definitely the deserving winner, regardless of their pitiful time wasting and faking injuries during the last 10-15 minutes, but whatever, as long as shit like that doesn't get punished, you can't blame them for doing it. Hope Italy wins the entire tournament, so far they've been the best team out there. | ||

Also inclined to think he'd be even better as a sub - this type of player with fresh legs against a tired defense tends to yield pretty fantastic results. (That said - I can't really ever get behind criticism of starting a player who has this type of performance.) Was cheering for Belgium but I can respect and get behind this Italy.

Interestingly, Transfermarkt lists him primarily as right wing player and only then a left winger. I wonder what kind of performances he can pull of in his more comfortable position. | ||
