All the focus has been on Italy yet Switzerland looked an excellent side. People judging by the name of the country and not the quality of the team in this tournament. Murat Yakin who has been under fire has done a sterling job with his tactical plan and selection flexibility. He has used his SQUAD perfectly thus far.

No surprise for me. Historically, Italy are quite poor when it comes to defending their titles. 1986 WC, 2010 WC and 1984 Euros. The Italian national will win a title and then go to sleep for several years. They have never set the world on fire by dominating world football.

Intro from the presenter: “I am sure the players and management of the 🏴 and 🇸🇰 teams will be shaking in their boots at the prospect of [a quarter final with 🇨🇭 ]” Just to remind everyone, this is the Irish National Broadcaster. 🙄Amazing.

The Swiss did what England failed to do in the last final. They were one nil up. Instead of coming out 2nd half and sitting back, they finished Italy off. England, by contrast, sent them a written invitation to come back into the match. Well done, Switzerland. Well deserved. When do we get to see Shakiri again?

Why are people so supprised about Italy losing. They were horrible in the group phase and got dominated against Spain.

Ita didn’t look dangerous. But Swi were vulnerable and won’t go past next stage. The defender who headed the ball supreme just short of his own net, with no danger around. Panic set in. From close range Ita miss hitting the post. You can say Swi should have won 4-1, but it also could have been 2-2. And for that Swi won’t go past the last 8, wait and see.

While a team of grannies could give the Swiss a tougher fight, there's no evidence to suggest England would be. They've been playing arguably worse than Italy and, at the very least, equally as bad. They also haven't won their game so stop getting ahead of yourself.

@@brianboyle2681you do have to account for quality. Italy don’t have much quality at all in the side outside Barella and the goalie, Chiesa isn’t the same player he was. I think England can fix it majority their issues with two or so player changes. Their form in 2023 showed they can be a very good side when they have the pieces in play. I.e good wing play and a competent midfielder next to Rice.

They don't have a Pirlo to play those decisive passes. It was all very predictable from this Italian team.
