Τρία παραδείγματα με clinical από τη ροή σχολίων στο BBC:
"Italy were not exactly clinical against England so let's hope Germany have brought their collective shooting boots tonight..."
Former England captain Alan Shearer on MOTD: "Italy thoroughly deserve it. Italy were the better team, in the first half they were clinical. They should have had two or three more in the second half..."
Former Italy international Gianluca Vialli on MOTD: "I am very proud to be Italian tonight. It was a terrific performance and result. Italy are by far the most surprising team in the tournament. The way we got this result against the fresher German team and the way we defended was brilliant, no other team has done that so far. We were clinical and it was a great performance. Well done to the Italian boys."
