Italy - Spain: the match was quite boring, I didnt like it at all
also I dont know about you, but to me Italy seemed like a scared team, without character, without the desire to play
I dont know if they continue like this I dont think they can go far
Fortunately in this match there were no pure goals only own goals, but still Italy's game was boring, there was no character where they were a great team while Spain was more superior from all directions, we saw this match a little annoyed to see Italy's game.
We know Italy still have a chance in the last game of the group stage but if they play like this with no more pressing attack I doubt it will be a win.
I don't think this is what they wanted, I mean Italy were forced to play a little deeper in defense because Spain dominated and also pressed well. Spain's game is very attractive and the cooperation between players is very good, which is why Italy has to defend and only rely on counter attacks.
Another thing that Italy lacked was that they lost in the middle game. Spain has Pedri, Rodri and Fabian in midfield, they play well and of course often help supply the ball to the attackers. Then from that, Spain played well from the wings where Willians and Yamal performed great there. Italy doesn't have many players like that, but they managed to make it difficult for Spain to win even though they ultimately lost by an own goal.
Poland will really find it difficult to win this game against Austria especially now that the away side is leading by three goals to one. Starting the game on a very high note only to resume second half and start playing with fear. What will you expect of an Austrian side who were beaten by France other than to not only defend their lines but also press to ensure they get three points from this game to enable them have a shot at playoffs.
For me, I think Poland will have to seat this one out since I clearly don't see them coming out from this one, drawing their first game with Netherlands and losing out on this won't in any way help their case.
A draw in their first match? Poland didn't get a draw when they met the Netherlands, they definitely didn't get any points after Weghorst scored a goal in the last 7 minutes of the match. With the bad results they're currently getting, they certainly won't be able to be in the top 2 of Group D, in their third match, they have to meet France, then, what can we expect from Poland, even against Austria they lost.
Poland no longer has hope, they have received their second defeat today from Austria with a score of 1-3. Without collecting any points from 2 matches, Poland also looks like they will experience defeat in the match against France. So I think Poland will have no hope in this tournament, they will just fail.
