Monday’s final Euro 2016 tie sees Fifa’s second highest ranked side Belgium square up to 2012 Euros finalist Italy.

Both sides come into the match in confident mood having topped their qualifying groups and ending their pre-tournament friendly preparations unbeaten. While Belgium defeated Norway 3-2 and drew 1-1 with Finland, Italy recorded wins against Scotland and Finland.

Marc Wilmots’ team are set to rely heavily on Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who created more chances than any other player during qualification. Along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard he was also the Red Devils’ top scorer in qualifying with five goals.

Antonio Conte’s Italy were one of only four sides, alongside England, Austria and Romania, to be undefeated in qualifying. They did this despite not having a regular goal scorer, with Southampton striker Graziano Pelle the Azzuri’s top scorer in qualifying with just three goals.

    Giacherrini to nick another one on the counter after Pelle flicks on a quick Buffon kick

    Belgium just get too much hype put on them. They're a squad of individuals Imo, not much of a team. Italy might be weaker on paper but they are a team which is why they're playing a lot better.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You can thank the managers for both scenarios

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You're right there. I always say the same about England tbh, lots of individuals they don't seem to be much of a team. Down to Hodgson imo

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly

    1. KingNidge

      Prince Harry

  18. George Sillett

    Lukaku really is so poor.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Composure has always been a big issue for him.. also because he can at times be so brilliant

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Never when I own him in fpl.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That's just bad luck mate

  19. Alan The Llama

    C'mon Lukaku, you massive tosspenguin

    1. KingNidge

    Brilliant control from Lukaku

    Has he got Teflon boots?

  21. VS10_

    Darmian gate

      That's really rough on anyone who has him. 🙁

  22. Bøwstring The Carp

    Darmian subbed at 57 minutes

    It's like FPL never went away 😆

    LMAO

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      From now on pre-60 min substitutions should be called Darmians.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      😆

  23. ★Kuntheman★

    Ouch for any Darmian owners

    *tumbleweed*

  24. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Poor Darmian. He can't finish the match even in national team.

  25. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Harsh for Darmian owners.

  26. Konig Luther
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    always off before 60min

  27. puddingbrood
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pelle is actually quite decent in a team full of crossers. Better than most strikers we've had till now anyway.

  28. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Darmian off on 59 min 🙂 LvG style!

    If I even think for a second about buying Lukaku next season, punch me square in the face.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      As long as you reciprocate for us

    Bonucci is quite the passer
