Round of 16: Switzerland - Italy

[Ethor]

Somehow, the purported line up, though 3-5-2, leaves me unimpressed. The attack, such as it is, will be woeful.

congrats Switzerland

Dimarco injured?

Dimarco injured?

Training alone, not with the squad.

Mancini. Darmian lb. Cristante again. Fucking El Shaarawy. It almost makes me want to root against them.

Not going to lie, I somehow feel better about this than his 3-5-2. No idea why he's going with El Shaa over Zaccagni. Zaccagni's natural position is LW and he literally just scored a goal.

I thought El Shaarawy died in a skiing accident?

This supports the idea it's going to be a back four.

Having no Dimarco kinda makes sense not to use 3-man backline.

I don’t understand why Spalletti didn’t bring a natural back up to Dimarco. I know Udogie is hurt but you could have brought Parisi or someone.

Time for our boys to return home. Hope Switzerland will advance.

Now I've seen a report that Bastoni maybe out, due to illness
