Euro 2020, Lineker ‘owl’ on Twitter: “Here is Italy …”

One tweet after another and Gary Lineker angers Italian fans. The former English footballer, leading commentator of the BBC, does not skimp on the pungent chirps during the Italy-Austria match, valid for the round of 16 of Euro 2020. First, with a play on words, the reference to the English referee Attwell, assigned to the Var and decisive in favor of Italy in a couple of episodes. So, with the match blocked and the Azzurri in difficulty, here is ” Italy has been transformed into Italy ” to highlight the involution of Mancini’s formation compared to the previous 3 games. Then, the ‘gufata’ when the match reaches extra time: “The statistics: Italy played 7 matches that went to extra time at the European Championships. In all 7 matches Italy did not score. The only goal was scored by an opponent, Trezeguet with the golden goal in the Euro 2000 final “. Italy scores two goals in extra time and wins. And Lineker sprinkles his head with ashes: “Thank me later, Italian fans.” Instead of thanks, however, dozens of ‘lively’ answers rained down.
