The Truth Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 18 hours ago, Major Isewater said: For me Italy are the best, most dangerous team in the competition. They attack and move the ball accurately and rapidly whilst our defenders are not the quickest. Italy are tough in defence and have a fantastic keeper if we get past them. They are all masters of game management. They are not particularly gifted with a world class forward whilst we have two. I think this will be a very even game and whilst my heart says England, my head says that those crafty Italians are going to rain on our parade. We need every player at the top of their game , Pickford had a mare v Denmark. We have home advantage which may swing it. It really is too tough to call and we all know that anything can happen on the day to affect the game. Agree with this - Italy have looked excellent. The performance against Denmark was not our best but we did play well against Germany and Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I am not too keen on some of the screaming Nationalistic Headlines adorning our wonderful Tabloids this morning? It's a game of pheckin football and Not a Call to Arms. I want Engerland to do well, but do we have to have all the patriotic drivel churned out by Editors of tomorrow's chip wrappings?............I Can just imagine what will be forthcoming if Italy should win?

To do that they’ve obviously played well on a consistent basis and have beaten all other teams they’ve faced in the knockout stages on their way to the glamorous final? How does that make them worse than other teams who are “obviously better” but failed to progress? What about situations where two top teams play each other in the quarter or semi down to luck of the draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 No doubt at that Southgate will have ensured that the entire England squad will know what to expect from the Italians. Their feigning injury to time waste, exaggerated rolling around and ‘falling over’ tactics to break up the flow of the game. Two things are vital 1) that England score first to force the Italians out. 2) a tough referee who doesn’t tolerate any underhand antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I think most of the analysis was that the first ‘tackle’ had no contact. It did. Two tiring defenders have both had a nibble and both caught him (marginally). First defender has stuck his leg in. Given the crap nowadays about a player ‘being entitled to go down’ that is what Sterling has done. He has felt contact and gone down. That is different to a complete dive with no contact. It is soft. I would not have given it, but it is not even in the same ball park as some of the nonsense I have seen it compared with.

Super Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Easily biggest game in my lifetime i never thought i would see England in a major final tbh. Will be an amazing occasion.

steviestevieneville Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Can’t believe some on here want to do our players down. Saying Sterling dived. I doubt these “fans” have ever kicked a ball. Running at pace into the box , definitely clipped knee to knee first , then body checked after. Try staying on your feet after that when sprinting . Apologist clowns some on here who can’t wait for us to lose. Bore off . Also the ones who bring politics into it . ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I don't think I can watch it, I feel a little sick thinking about the game. It's too hard to pick a winner, chances will be at a premium, unless of course we go at it like we did against the Ukraine, granted they were not at their best, still.

E.G.Red Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I always expected it to be an Italy v England final. Expect a close game but England to win if we get our subs right(I think our bench is stronger than theirs) . Either way I’m going to enjoy , I love the Italian anthem and I’m looking forward to Queen ‘We are the champions’ belting out over the tannoy system at Wembley at the end of the game.

Oddly I don't feel that nervous about the game. I was bricking it for the Denmark game because I wanted us to finally reach a final and I had similar nerves for the Germany game.
