Turkey bottled it and shot themselves in the foot for every goal, completely overawed by the occasion.

Dont think anything changes for their game against Wales, they were expecting to lose this and created a gameplan to stay in it for as long as possible.

They are going to be far more attacking, out of necessity now more than anything else.

Italy winning 2 out of 2 before playing Wales isnt the worst scenario.. providing Wales can get a win beforehand

Disagree. They were a strong defensive unit in the first half. Opened it up at the start of the second and Italy punished them. Should have kept it tight for another 20 minutes. Italy top team though.

Most definitely first 45 went exactly as planned for them.

Had a short positive spell once they started to come out, but the OG was s**t luck and they collapsed thereafter

Italy looked ok, 3-0 papers over the cracks, and they may suffer for not having to play at their best before the knockouts.
 
That was very poor from Turkey. Just the way we wanted it to go. Italy will be home and hosed by the tome we face them. It may be early days, but it's going to plan thus far.
 
Not a bad starting line-up.

Not sure what Page's problem with Cabango is though, he's not even on the bench. Does he have an injury? I've seen nothing from Mepham to suggest he's good enough.

Mepham has a few mistakes in him, hopefully he doesn't make any today, Roberts as a right back is a worry, Morrell needs to play the game of his life, but Ramsey, Bale, James and Moore can cause any team in the World problems

Jayne Ludlow said yesterday she'd go 4-2-3-1 to get Ramsey in his best position and all our best attacking players on the pitch.i'm glad it looks like we're going for it,I was worried Page was going to Cooperball it.

One?
 
God, wish I was there, tears running down my cheeks listening to the national anthem and remembering what that felt like in Bordeaux 😢
 
Wales started well and positively. Cooperball now though.

Need to get the midfield sorted out

James showing (again) how stupid Cooper is (has he gone yet?) by getting rid of any pace or wingers. Sitting deep needs that threat
