    Turkey’s defending has been very questionable, to say the least. What’s with leaving Italy tons of space in the final third and not closing them down? (Italy have had 24 shots on goal compared to Turkey’s 1 — *?!!) Anyway, Wullie Hill gave me a wee cheeky free bet on this match and I went for Italy to score over 1.5 goals ... happy days!

    Got to say I seen this one being a tight affair after the first 30-40 mins. But turkeys collapse and italys perseverance has turned it into a superb opening game.

    All of a sudden Italy are right up the with the favourites imo.

    That Turkish keeper’s kicking has been diabolical.

    Aye most of them have went out the park or to Italy players.

    Good block from Chiellini there, brilliant reaction aswell wanting a clean sheet

    Really enjoyed that Italy performance. Some of the football they play is fantastic.

    Bernardeschi has done well to get in that squad, though. He’s gash.

    Italy were good but Turkey were poor from the start. They looked like they were blowing out their * after 20minutes.

    Will be interesting to see how Italy perform against better opposition, Turkey offered nothing.

    Expected more from Turkey but the Italians were superb, Mancini has done a great job.

    Defo needs a brain transplant. Maybe his boxing career is to blame?

    Good stuff from Italy.

    Thought the middle 3 of Jorginho, Barella and Locatelli were tremendous. Kept the ball well, competed and won it back giving the others a foundation to build the play from. Starved Turkey of any real possession or chances to play themselves out of the trouble they found themselves in. Insigne also immense. Interesting to see a kind of lopsided attack be so successful, barely seen much from Florenzi in comparison to Spinazzola in attack. Berardi likewise wasn't as effective as Insigne.
