That was selfish from Berardi there. Should've headed it. Rewarded by being subbed.

Strange they took Immobile off though. Would infer that Italy are now going to wake up and go for it in the last 5mins or ET. If it does go to penalties, the Immobile move could be a key tactical error.

This has been a trickier tie than most expected, not least Italy. A little complacent maybe. Massive credit to Austria - regardless of the end result.

I pretty much only gamble on international tournaments, and every two years I get a good reminder of why. Think I'm about to go to two winning bets out of 15, and most of them weren't even long shots. Mugs game. Or at least, this gamer is a mug.

Depends on what markets you bet on to be honest and what odds you want.

I tend to avoid betting on teams to win (even though I bet on Denmark to beat Wales at evens as the price was too high).

I tend to bet on the corners market. I made a mint betting on Swindon corners last season. As we were outsiders in most games you could get even money for Swindon to get 5 corners or more at home and 4 corners or more away. Swindon generally went behind in most games and had to go forward to press for equaliser.

Brighton were great for corners last season.

That was an absolutely fantastic defensive header from Lainer at the end there. Almost worthy of a goal in itself. It is a simple technique to flick on/away a header but at that particular moment, many would buckle.

I want Austria to win now, which means Italy will probably go and win it. Impressed with Austria though. Surely only fitness can be the main indicator now?  Hmmm

And sure enough, four minutes after my bet curse is lifted, Italy have recovered the ability to play football and go ahead.

Indeed. Feel the keeper could have at least got a hand to Chiesa's goal. Incidentally, Chiesa was brought on for Berardi and not Immobile. Inspired sub from Mancini or just the little bit of luck you need (on top of talent) in tournament footy?  Hmmm

Either PdC is back in Town or Fratello's has started celebrations early or both?  Pint

Austrian's crumble (or strudel). Fitness was starting to show just a few mins ago with the late challenge from Hinteregger.

Difficult now for them but Italy have ramped it up. Maybe the result we expected in 90mins but Austria have certainly made them work for it. I expect this to be a rather relaxed 2nd half of ET. Can't see Austria offering too much now, not without exposing themselves more than the jovial tissue abandon of Matt Hancock MP. Which would end up with them getting an absolute routing from Italy!
