    BBC's pre-match is so much better than ITV's.

    Italy are a weird side. They lack any outstanding players yet always seem to work as a team

    I always felt Italian football is the closest to international football in terms of style/tempo and the emphasis on strategy from coaches, which gives them an advantage

    I agree. It also helps that they produce a lot of good managers and as a result often have one in charge of the NT.

    Doesn't hurt that they're playing a country with a population of 2.7 million.

    Italy looked like potential winners in their opening match at the last Euros but they didn’t look like tournament winners tonight,

    I picked Italy to finish second in the group behind Spain... Feel good about that.

    Very good defending team despite that first goal, which is a complete one-off.

    But you can never write them off, can you; they always seem to play up to their opponents (Spain/Croatia) or in the case against Albania, play down to their opponents. They also have a history of starting slow and getting better in the knockout stages and morphing into an organised 'almost impossible to beat' machine

    Croatia are the same, similar mentality to the Italians.
    In recent World Cups, esp with Italy failing to qualify, its almost like Croatia have stepped in and replaced Italy's void in the tournament..

    Poland taking the lead is something I didn’t see coming.
