I only just realised Verratti and Marchisio are out. Italy looking a lot weaker than I'd expected.

Zlatan appears to have more international goals than the entire Italy squad.

Oh well sticking by my pick, this is a crazy football season.

I really wish the commentators would stop falling over themselves to blow smoke up Zlatan's arse.

Yes, we get it, you think he's a great player. Please stop referring to him as "the Maestro" and Euro 2016 as "His tournament".

Can't ****ing believe he took Hoolahan off. Really happy with that performance though.

A draw seems about right on the balance of play.

Not sure it suits either side especially though. Unless there's six draws it leaves both needing to beat yer Eyeties or yer Phlegms.

I thought we definitely would have deserve a win more than Sweden, but managed the game so poorly at 1-0 that we can't really complain about the draw.

I'm reminded of why I don't rate O'Neill, he doesn't consider attacking cohesion at all. Taking off Hoolahan meant we had to go long, but he'd already taken off Walters.

I think the structure makes draws almost useless. The third place teams to go out will probably be with two draws, possibly even with three.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if this group was one of the two where 3rd doesn't qualify

Lol, Fellaini and Witsel start but no Dembele. Wilmots is such a joke of a manager.

Dembele is up against Nainggolan to be fair, and Fellaini is generally excellent for Belgium.

Amazing to think Belgium's front 3 could all have been playing together at Chelsea if Mourinho wasn't a knob.

I rate Nain and Fellaini but Dembele is their best player after De Bruyne.

And why couldn't he play alongside Nain? They're both excellent defensively and Fellaini gets through a ton of defensive work from 10.
