Oh, this is the thread. Okay. I’ll stick to this then.
Epic Nessun Dorma by the way. Not an opera fan, but you got to appreciate such a fantastic trained voice.

Turkey has been very good lately though, so I dread that they may win this. But firmly hope that Italy will bring them down to earth some how, as I loath how AKP uses the national team in their propaganda. I just want Turkey to lose.
Actually some quite decent music for once. Just compare this to the absolutely DREADFUL RnB and pop music that poor fuckers that watch American football have to cope with come Super Bowl (as well as the usual butchering of their national anthem).
We football fans get served something significantly less painful to listen to.
Boccelli kind of humbled Bono though, lol.

Chellini has such a punchable face.
Edit: For Saurez, it would be a bitable face?

Hilarious transport of the ball there, lol. Pygmy car speeds out with the ball, lol.

Now, if they give it to a kid mascot to control the remote car, that would be more meaningful.

I don’t understand why they can’t use kids (for instance from lottery tickets). It is not as you lose a lot of time not using that…automobile, and it would make those kids get a wonderful experience. Missed opportunity to make someone’s day better not using ball boys.

ESPN+ Going for a bizarre “multi screen” option consisting of cutting the screen into three and giving permanent coverage of the managers on two of those screens.
They just don’t understand this sport.

Why is there all the whistling from the crowd? Do they really want Italy sit back, park the bus and counter attack?
Italy quite offensive in the opening. Good opening of the game entertainment-wise.
Absolute disgrace that Italy aren’t wearing blue

Turkey looking very solid here, not a lot of movement up front early on for the Italians. This may turn into a slog for them.
On TSN pre-match, the host and co-hosts were talking about Italy is playing “expansive” football, different from the boring Italy football that we dislike so much. I guess that truly is the case.
