Write off the Italians at your peril. As an avid follower of
Serie A, I had been saying for weeks that they wouldn’t amount to anything at
this year’s tournament. The Injuries to their best two midfielders; lack of a
decent striker (Why?!? Oh why?!? Did Conte not take Giuseppe Rossi?); and the
performance at the last World Cup. It all spelt early exit to me. What do I
know?!
I’ll tell you what I do know! Belgium are decent, but they’re
nowhere near as good as everyone makes out. And I thought that before last
night. In England people only rate the Belgians because they know all of their
players due to the majority of the playing in The Best League in the World.™* I cannot for the life of me
understand how they are ranked 2nd in the World? Did FIFA just ask
Jamie Redknapp for his views?
Speaking of overrated, Portugal are on tonight…!
*Most
competitive league in the world at times when it’s obvious that the standard is
pretty average e.g. after an early Champions/Europa League exit**
**This
isn’t counting towards the 150 word limit by the way!***
***Neither
is that…
