I think Bale will score for Wales today but I am still predicting a Switzerland win, 2-1.

What a save from the Swiss keeper!

Wales and Switzerland giving Turkey hope for when they play them. Very cagey and a poor first half

Wales need a rollicking at half time.

1-0 Switzerland- Breel Embolo with the goal!

1-1 now big Moore with the header equaliser and they immediately bring Dan James off?!

 

The heat must be a factor here as Wales just doing what Turkey did last night!

I'm not sure what is worse - Mark Lawrenson's Eeyore-style misery (thankfully missing this time) or Robbie Savage's Tigger-like enthusiasm.

Aye he’s a dose lol, was class though when Robson-Kanu scored THAT goal vs Belgium in 2016!

Wales were lucky in the end, that was clearly off-side, Wales need to improve though, the first half was dominated by the Swiss.

 

So far my predictions are a bit off :lol:

Decent result for Wales there. I think they have a good chance against Turkey then they wouldn't need to worry about the Italy match.

goal.com | 19' | CHIELLINI SCORES! Insigne swings the corner in and Chiellini jumps between two Swiss players to reach it. He nods it down and takes advantage of the confusion in the box to poke the ball past Sommer from close range, but VAR is having a look at this one...

 

goal.com | 20' | NO GOAL! VAR has a look at the replay of the goal and the ball actually struck Chiellini's arm when he brought it down. It's a handball in the direct build-up to the goal, so it won't count. Still 0-0!

Chiellini pulled up lame with a hamstring and was subbed out.

 

goal.com | 26' | ITALY LEAD! It's a wonderful move from Italy which is started by Locatelli out to Berardi on the right. The midfielder continued his run to the edge of the six-yard box to get on the end of the cross into the middle and he slots it past Sommer before the goalkeeper even realises he's there. 1-0 Italy!

Italy (actually) leading this time! Certainly the dominant team so far.

Italy looking too good at the moment.

And Italy are 2-0 up! Goalie didn't even attempt to save that one.

Are the seedings so that Italy could meet France in the final. Does anyone know or care to work them out?

Switzerland have to do what no team have done in this years Championship. Come from behind to win. Wales were the last team to win from behind in the Euros in the 2016 Quarter Finals.

Are the seedings so that Italy could meet France in the final. Does anyone know or care to work them out?

Yes but there is the unlikihood they could meet in the quarters if France finished third.

Italy look impossible to score against and it's a very impressive stat that Donnarumma has never conceded more than 1 goal in a match while playing for Italy.
