Italy vs. Belgium live stream: Game time, TV schedule and how to watch Euro 2016 online

Funny Gianluigi Buffon FAIL. Swinging on a crossbar - Italy vs Belgium 2-0 EURO 2016

Through the first three days of the 2016 European Championships, every Juventus player that has stepped onto the field has seen his respective country win. Paul Pogba and Patrice Evra? Win with France. Stephan Lichtsteiner, the new captain of Switzerland, a winner. Germany, captained by Brother Sami Khedira, were winners.

Now comes the tricky part.

Both of the Euro 2012 finalists are taking the field today. And it"s safe to say that both of those countries, Italy and Spain, are not in the same shape they were four years ago. Key players are either show their signs of being four years older or completely retired. While Spain has the luxury of an influx of young talent at its disposal, Italy partly due to injuries, too arrives in France with an uninspiring roster than

Seriously, Thiago Motta is Italy"s No. 10. Seriously.

This is our first chance to see if Antonio Conte can work his magic and transform a meh squad into something that can, well, do something at the Euros. With who he has brought to France, not many people are expecting the Azzurri to do much of anything. A trip to the final for the second straight Euro tournament? Nah, not really. That"s just what happens when people see your likely starting strikers for your opening game are going to be Graziano Pelle and Eder.

Here"s to hoping Gigi Buffon and that BBC defense in front of him just shuts everybody out and Italy just grinds out a bunch of 1-0 wins. That"s what all the cliches say, right? Those crazy Italians sure do know how to defend!

There have been lingering doubts about the Italy side coming into this competition and a spate of hugely debilitating injuries has left Contes plans in a mini-crisis.

One of the main strengths of this generation of Azzurri stars has been their technical ability in midfield, with Andrea Pirlo, Marco Verratti and Claudio Marchisio forming an exciting triumvirate at the nexus of the side. However, the manager will not be able to call upon any of this trio, with the former winding his career down in the United States and the latter duo sidelined with injuries.

It means casual observers of Italy will be able to cast eyes over a few unfamiliar faces, with Conte calling up seven uncapped players for the tournaments training squad. Subsequently, Italy, usually so reliable in these championships, look like something of an unknown quality.

A quarter-final elimination to Argentina at the 2014 World Cup was about par for Belgium in the eyes of many, as the nations golden crop of talent battled their way to the last eight. However, Wilmots men underwhelmed in their performances.

For all the attacking talent on display, Belgium lacked an incisive presence in the final third of the field and creativity in the middle of the park. Thats a balance the manager has been seeking to strike since and having scaled the summit of the FIFA world rankings during the qualification process, itd be tough to say they havent.

Yet as odd as it may be to say, despite this ascension and the embarrassment of riches available to Wilmots in terms of individual quality, there are still signs this is a side not reaching its potential. The Red Devils still havent quite found a way of bringing the best out of Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku in the same setup.
