Maguire. I mean he’s more passive, which I don’t like in a CB but isn’t anywhere near as rash as Soyuncu who reminds me of Lovren… likes to play on front foot and attack the ball, but is very rash and has mistakes in his game consistently.

Turkey are struggling to link the play here…

Italy in the final third so far has been poor.

It’s a bit crowded though innit?

Soyincu is trash

Will be the key reason they probably won’t end up winning it.

It is but some panic passing and poor touches by them aint helping.

Who is better, Soyuncu or Maguire?

Great Save!

Funny, when he dribbled himself into trouble and ended up falling down down backwards like a statue being toppled, my exact thought was '"looked like maguire there"

Yep. Turkey have been really good in that regard. But the sooner Italy score, the better this probably is as a contest. Turkey are really organized and have frustrated Italy, but Calhanoglu aside they don't seem to be demonstrating much quality when they go forward. That said I can't see them being this cautious against Wales or Switzerland, surely?

Italy will be early leaders in penalty claims, at least until Portugal play.

Chiellini still starting, it must be that Mediterranean diet. Surprised Buffon isn't in goal.

Which law of the game is it that covers a keeper being allowed to clean out an attacking player, but it's a free kick if an attacking player touches the keeper?

Italy look decent, but there's no star quality in that side. Insigne shows flashes. Immobile saves most of his goals for Serie A.

They aren't that negative

, but it almost seems like they've pencilled in that they want to come out of this with a draw
