When Turkey were narrowly beaten by France and Italy lost 2:0 at home to Belgium, it would have been difficult to predict this kind of outcome in their meeting in Bursa. But it happened! Italy absolutely demolished Vincenzo Montella’s side, thrashing them 4:1, and everything was clear before the half-hour mark, when the Azzurri had built a huge 3:0 lead. It could have been even more convincing, because Italy created several more chances while Turkey offered virtually nothing… And yet, it is difficult to believe this is a realistic reflection of the balance of power. Especially from Italy’s perspective. The match against Belgium showed just how thin this team still is and how far they are from the top. But Turkey were absolutely dreadful. Even worse than at the World Cup, when they were eliminated after two rounds following defeats by Australia and Paraguay.GOAL!

Belgium did almost everything right against France on Monday night. They pushed Les Bleus hard, created enough chances to believe they could finally end a 45-year wait for victory over their neighbours and, for long spells, looked the more dangerous side.Then Michael Olise decided the game.Ohhhhh Olise!
