Fancy Yilmaz to bag, but Turkey have only conceded 3 in their last 10, and Italy don't concede. 0-0 borefest incoming

Nicolo Barella and Chiesa are two very good players for Italy, looking forward to seeing them tonight

Not unknown, but lesser known perhaps - the Turkish right back Celik, 24 & very attacking. Teammate of Yilmaz at Lille who won the French league. He's reportedly on Utd's radar also.

Also Calhanoglu might be a Utd player soon, think he's out of contract at Milan. Got a Juninho (the Lyon one) vibe about his dead ball quality, especially from distance - so anything around 30 yards & he's got form for sending it all over the shop with that weird technique a few of them use to move the ball.

Sounds like the Turkish team shouldn’t be taken for cannon fodder.

When's team.news ?

Still the standard hour ?

They're huge dark horses amongst us sages.

Very solid team, with the potential to claim some big scalps and go deep into the tournament.

How big a crowd allowed in Rome? Is there going to be some games with no crowd and others with partial crowds?

Anyone who wasn't able to say certainly by the deadline (think it was April) they could have partial crowds in wasn't allowed host games. That's why Ireland lost hosting rights. Also Bilbao lost theirs too but theirs were moved to Sevilla which had lower infection rates so was easing restrictions earlier.

Must have cost a fortune this

Better than ours, but that's not saying too much.

France, Russia and Wales still the top 3 of this event tho.
