Buffon >

To be honest, I was never worried about a front line of Nolito-Morata-Silva troubling Italy. The danger came, unsurprisingly when changes were made. Lucas Vasquez looks like a real player, I'm an admirer.
The midfield is where the game was won, and if you told me prior to the tournament that Italy would win the midfield match up against Spain without Marchisio and Verrati present, I would have laughed at you but here we are

you know his avatar would be sporting the czech flag right now had italy been eliminated and czechia miraculously made it into the quarters, right?

should italy lose to germany next round you can be sure he will discover some belgian or portuguese ancestors...

Inb4 giant sheep sig.

Lucas has progressed a lot this season. I hope he keeps up like this.

I trust that we have your support as we prepare to face ze Germans?

ofc, most ppl support the team they got eliminated by. if they win the whole thing it makes it less bad...

This is true, more referring to my brotherhood with zark as well

Good luck on Saturday fender, I'm expecting a fantastic game

and there's obviously nothing wrong with that. will be rooting for italy myself should your boys win. with that kind of draw, dominating belgium and spain with ease, you'd certainly deserve it should you beat germany as well. expecting a great match too ofc...

I appreciate that, I'm in love with the spirit this team is showing. It gives me great pride to see. Obviously past teams have been far more talented (excluding the defense) but the way this team plays is special and the credit is to Conte.
I will be supporting Germany should your boys manage to make history and finally defeat Italy in a tournament and Khedira has become one of my favourite players.

I'm feeling like a Italy vs. Belgium final perhaps
Germany vs. Belgium/Portugal would be fantastic too or France vs. Belgium even
