Hope to the dark gods it is not offside.
Bah, would have been great for the game had it stood.
No goal, that’s unlucky for Austria
VAR strikes again! As Liverpool fans we know only too well, how that feels.
And for the game. Forced Italy to take greater chances, Austria would probably have got more counters. Like WoltonRed said, we might have got an actual good game.
Austria’s been cutting Italy open the last quarter hour. Sumptuous effort from Arnautovic and his teammates, in any event.
Except Arnautovic was offside.
I know, I know. I just don’t like VAR.
Game seems a bit more spirited now. Not such a shabby watch anymore.
Wonder why it’s taking so long
Looks at who the refs are ah that will be it.

That’s why.
Second half is boring does it go to extra time is level on 90 minutes.
Belotti is coming on. Dangerous man.
Imagine that Denmark entertained more than Italy. I am a bit disappointed. I know this is the crucial Knock Out stage, but Austria is very well into this game; almost equal terms.
Italy should ideally be a bit sharper and a bit more lethal than this.
You obviously didn’t see the 1st half. This is a big improvement.
I actually like it when players dare to try those (if they have the ability). Sometimes you got to fuck them up.
Well, I want Austria to score now
Will probably not happen but it would be fair atm
This is a typical draw, but since someone has to win, it will be typical that Italy wins, like always historically in such tight games during tournaments. Would be nice with something wild, like an anomaly !
So far, Austria have been the better team, in my opinion. Italy, very disappointing.
My bold prediction. One half hour of boring, cautious football followed by penalties.
