Kvarartskhelia? Lad is class. Surprised Man City or Real Madrid haven’t picked him up yet. He’s that good.

Plays for Napoli without a buyout clause.

Unlike others they aren't up against FFP, their financials are okay- clubs need to stand firm if they're in a solid place.

Contracted until 2027 or 2028, they can enjoy him for another year I suspect.

Best game so far for me

Ref gave 2 red cards and 20,000 yellows but added to the fun

Seemed to be a big fight after the match .

Ange not happen with VAR..

It's more Netherlands who have benefitted from the draw, they are in a very easy quarter through to the semi final

Austria beat and possibly outplayed to a degree Holland, not sure they are so easy.

Turkey have looked alright too, even v Portugal 3-0 flattered the winners.

Not related to the last 16 but I've always wondered if Serbia are held back a bit by internal wrangling etc.

Tadic, Mitrovic, Milinkovic-Savic and some others refusing to play while he is manager.

Have already had from some fairly kind draws under Southgate and this is another one with all other pot 1 teams on the other side, Netherlands probably would have been a more entertaining game but odds of getting past Slovakia has to be much better overall.

Do the phrases “England” and “entertaining game” ever go together?!

There isn’t a team between us and the final I was truly worried about pre-tournament. Italy a little bit, plus Holland and Austria have looked good. But on paper, we have to be making the final here.

It's looks like the England game is on ITV. Is there any way to get ITV with better picture quality? Any game I watch on BBC is great (4K I think) but all the Itv game the picture quality is poor and has motion blur. 

Unfortunately ITVX is only 25 frames per second, which in this day and age is shite for football/sports.

You are better off getting a crappy digital aerial and watching through Freeview as it is broadcast at 60 Hz I think, which is comparable to 50 frames per second that is broadcast on the iPlayer. Pretty sure the main games on the iPlayer AKA those with HDR are upscaled to 4K at source, so you see a marginally better picture but obviously not true 4K.

It has been poor value so far but I am choosing to focus on the positives. Although to be honest I am someone who rarely bothers with them outside of world cups and euros and hasn't for quite a few years for this precise reason. 😅

It has nothing to do with the feed from the stadium, it will be a standard all countries feed. So it must be how BBc/ITCV are broadcasting it.

Like many, I grew up in the era of football Italia on channel 4. Always loved Italian football, the strategy, the defensive structure, the classy skill etc. Growing up I loved ac Milan because of van basten, guillet, baresi etc. Class team. As I grew older, my step cousins family originated from naples, so I adopted Napoli as my favourite Italian side. Always looked out for their results, played as them on fifa career mode etc. 

Last few years with Kvaradona and Oshimen has been great. And raspadori as well. The league win was well overdue but in a league dominated by Juventus and inter, hard to break through. Season just gone was a bit of a non starter but there we go. 

Napoli signing kvaradona is all due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He played for Rubin Kazan and the contract was freed up as per fifas ruling, so he went back to Georgia for a few months and then Napoli got him from there. 

I'd love to see him in the Premier league but napoli would be losing an exceptional talent.
