Italy v Austria it is. The alpine derby Should be a routine win for the Italians but you never know. If Alaba and Arnautovic turn up they may make a game of it. Should be fun seeing the latter tussle with Bonucci and (hopefully) Chiellini. We've somehow blagged tickets right behind the goal 31 rows up despite buying in the cheaper price bracket. God bless you and your reduced crowds Boris!
Alaba has been tosh so far (apart from his cross vs Macedonia) for all the qualities he has. Still I reckon there is a group of players here. Lainer, Hinteregger, Schlager, Sabitzer (bit off too actually). I reckon Italy may find it a bit harder than everyone thinks. Watch Italy trounce them 5-0 now.
He was fantastic against Austria used solely to nullify Arnautovic however he was sh*te first two games . Is he off to Real Madrid after the tournament ? I know he's leaving Bayern , hardly a stellar signing but hey ho !
Alaba plays for Austria...? Yes think he is - guess he will be used as a player who can fill a number of positions pretty well. Or do you mean someone else.
D'oh , I meant to say Yarmelenko who featured for West Ham's Under 23's v Posh for Ukraine who played great against the Dutch .
Yes - he did. You are right. Austria really did contained Ukraine well and deserved the win. I also agree think Italy will be too strong.
Purchased my ticket today for England’s last 16 game. Email came through at 12:45 saying they were on sale, then had a very anxious wait queuing for the ticket portal Very excited now.
Through UEFA but I had ‘priority access’ as I previously had tickets for Dublin where the game was originally being held.
Ahh OK fair play. Glad you got them! Logging on now to see if there's any slim chance of getting some.
Presumably both England Supporters Club members? Tickets have been sold out on the UEFA site for the past week. Only ones left are for tonight's game (at 345 euros a pop).
There's a chap at work yesterday who's Dad is a member & was trying furiously to get one , I said the same as you but he reckons UEFA were releasing a few & you had to be on site & applying like crazy to be successful , or they could just be fantasists pretending their off , a successful ticket screenshot would see me eating humble pie & custard . I'm pretty sure the Danes will sell there 6.000 allocation .
I've been checking the UEFA site relentlessly over the past week and at no point have the England semi-final or final been available. Just tonight's game. The lowest price I saw for that was 195 euros. Maybe some people got lucky but they would've had to pay a fortune for the pleasure.
Sorry, yes got my tickets through the ESTC. Purchased my final ticket this morning. Only category 3 tickets remaining when I logged in for my window but I think the supporters club are working hard to get more tickets.
Thanks mate, if we win on Sunday and I had turned down a ticket I don't think i'd ever forgive myself. Mine was £250 from the official UEFA sale for England fan members
