  12. 'Five subs make the difference'published at 23:00 British Summer Time 26 June 2021

    FT: Italy 2-1 Austria

    Micah Richards
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The five substitutions and the sixth in extra-time - that ultimately will be the difference in some matches.

    When you can make those substitutions and you can change the tactics in reaction to however the game is going, it's a massive bonus.

    Whoever has the biggest squad and can utilise it the very best will have the advantage and I thought Italy did that really well tonight.

    Rio Ferdinand
    Former England defender on BBC One

    The manager has to be very proud of them because they put on a good show. Coming into this game we thought Italy the form team were going to dust this team down. They gave a good account of themselves but in the end the best team won.
