“Why spend your time being sh*te at football in the pissing rain, when you can sit indoors and write about how sh*te the professionals are.” – Michael McKean

In Michael’s career as a copywriter and journalist, he’s written about everything from language and travel, to music, tech and sports – and has plied is trade in the UK, Switzerland, Brazil and a handful of EU nations. With a flair for writing everything from the pragmatic and serious, right down to the plain silly and ridiculous, Michael has earned a reputation among his fellow writers and editors for being the ultimate “Banterous Professional” (no one’s ever actually said that, he just made it up – coining the term “Banterous Professional” in the process).

Mike reached his current height of 6”2 before his 14th birthday, with his inability to head the ball leaving a great many youth coaches amazed and disappointed in equal measure at how useless he was in the box during set pieces, despite being a foot taller than everyone else around him.

(Sadly though his greatest achievement at betting.co.uk is being mistaken for another Michael).

The Big Game

Belgium and Italy lock horns in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals after managing to bypass the upset in the group stage and knockouts. Belgium will be coming in with a hard-fought win against the defending champions, while the Azzurri are in the form of their lives with a 31 match unbeaten streak.

Belgium: Euro 2020

Belgium are on a winning spree in the Euro 2020 and are one of the remaining favourites. They kick-started their Euro 2020 campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win over Russia, followed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over high-flying Denmark. The Red Devils finished top of Group B with three wins, the last of which came over Finland with a 2-0 scoreline. They showcased a lacklustre display against Portugal in the Round of 16 clash but managed to advance to the quarter-finals courtesy of a Thorgan Hazard wonder-strike. Kevin De Bruyne was taken off the field in the match due to a ligament injury and is unlikely to feature, while Eden Hazard also is nursing a hamstring twinge.

Italy: Euro 2020

Italy had not conceded a single goal in over 1000 minutes until Sasa Kalajdzic’s extra-time strike in the 114th minute in their RO16 fixture against Austria. Roberto Mancini’s team have been rock solid at the back throughout Euro 2020. They are cruising towards the ultimate prize with dominating wins over Turkey, Switzerland, Wales and Austria in the run-up to the quarter-finals. Giorgio Chiellini has started to train with the squad and should return to the Italian backline while Mancini will have a tough time trying to pick either of Marco Veratti and Manuel Locatelli on the left side of the pitch.

Belgium vs Italy Euro 2020 Tips and Predictions

The Belgians have been marred with major injury concerns and will have to be at their level best to breach a gritty Italian defence. The absence of Kevin De Bruyne will leave a massive gap in the midfield for Roberto Martinez’s side. However, the Italians have been cruising and look much more confident than their counterparts and are expected to make it to the semi-finals with a comfortable victory at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Ciro Immobile and Romelu Lukaku are the biggest goal threats in either team, but the Italian defence will be the defining factor in the clash.
