Italy suck. Barella aside it's poor poor poor. No Calafiori to bring it from the back so they are trapped. Also not sure why Dimarco was dropped, he's way better than Darmian.

Scamacca has had a good season but he's utterly dreadful for a team like Italy at international level. He's against some top top centre backs but has offered nothing.

Fagioli thinks he's Pirlo but miles off. 

Swiss are good, Xhaka is running things, defence is solid in the middle. Embolos first touch and final ball is shocking but he at least causes trouble.

Danny Murphy keeps going on about a run made by Xhaka in the run up to their goal where he was fouled, he's mentioned it 3 or 4 times. It wasn't even Xhaka it was Rieder, how he gets punditry and commentary gets I'll never know he is awful.

Switzerland would give England a proper game, would attack without any fear or respect, the quality isn't as good but the mentality is 10x better 

Ndoye v Trippier would be an interesting battle for sure and their CB options are better than England imo.Xhaka would also relish battling with Rice and Bellingham.

Still a bit of Football to be played but very good chance Swiss knock out England based on the respective levels in this tournament.

Yeah look a very solid outfit. Akanji one of the best defenders around as well, not that needed to do much so far today

Don't remember an Italian team look this inept in all departments.

Don't see where a goal comes from with this team. And how is Fagioli starting for them after missing most of season banned?!

Italy were shite in the last final against us. We let 39 year old Chellini run the show, they didn't do much else. It was ours to lose, an we gave it to them

Granit Xhaka is exactly what I'd love for our midfield to have. What a season he's had.

Strange isn't it, I wonder how many arsenal fans would say rice is exactly what they need yet xhaka has had the best year of his life after leaving arsenal
