🇮🇹 ITALY VS AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 [I Love Real Football]

Is it just me... or is this a fairly boring game?
... I was expecting a bit more action for this one.

Best action, was the foot safe by the austrian goalie. What a safe!

Too nervous to be bored 😅

@Elessar Belgium television just showed the outburst of cheers on a square in Rome, when the VAR didn't allow the Austrian goal. That's how deep we have sunk.

@Kwek00 Here it was more like a phew reaction. People were outraged at the two yellow cards for Di Lorenzo and Barella tho

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Elessar yeah, I understand people went "phew". I understand that completely.

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Kwek00 Well yeah, offside. 🌝

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Elessar No, it's totaly correct. Offside is offside, and I'm okay with the VAR. Lukaku was a few centimeters offside last week and the VAR also disalowed the goal, and it's fine by me.

It's just a bit sad that this is an exciting moment in a game where the Italians didn't really show a lot. Extra time was better, but overall the Austrians played a better game for the entire match. But Italy won, more efficient but "feelings" didn't agree with how the match was played so far. But that's football too.

@Kwek00 I don't disagree; football fans aren't famous for sportsmanship over here anyway. In my area we were more concerned about the fact tomorrow would've been national mourning day had we lost this one.

About the quality of the game, I don't know, I think this game would've developed differently hadn't it been refereed the way it's been. A lot of dirty game being allowed, Di Lorenzo getting that yellow card evidently impacted emotionally the whole team. The second half was played worse by Italy than the first, imo.
