Match Day Thread Italy v Spain

I've edged my bets and got £10 on both England and Italy @ 13/2 earlier in the tournament.

 

"England will beat either of these easily in the final"

With a straight face.

 

Thought the same

 

Who said that? Must have been a joke, right?

 

Rio Ferdinand said it.Personally,I don't have a problem with it? He's come out and said what millions of others think?

 

I don't have a problem, just wondered. It's the 'easily' bit that caught my attention, if we do reach the final I don't think it'll be easy!

 

I don't think tonight's game will be easy.I would expect us to win it but it's no gimme.

Ferdinand has been pretty adamant that this is a superb England squad and he's nailed his colours to the mast.

 

i thought last nights game was enjoybale, but think some people going over the top about it, talking about it being the best game theyve seen in years , not even in the top 3 of this tournament.
both teams had a go and played some decent stuff, i dont agree that playing Italy is better than playing Spain IF we get there, Spain have been erratic, some good games but also some dodgy ones, Italy unbeaten in 33 and played fairly consistently all the way and will be a tough nut to crack whoever gets through.

 

On 5 Live this morning they were talking to Lee Dixon as a "member of ITV's commentary team tonight". As if Danny Murphy being on BBC last night wasn't enough...

 

Who would you prefer? What exactly has Lee Dixon done wrong?

 

works for the jinx that is ITV , formations, players, tactics all irrelevant tonight. ITV will **** us over like they nearly always do

 

So BBC would be better tonight would it? No formations,players and tactic talk...All irrelevant in a football match.

At least we don't fund ITV's alleged incompetence.

 

yeah it would, they do a better montage if we get beat too.

 

Yes,he maybe is in your opinion.

 

i actually think Murhpy sometimes makes some good points, its just his delivery and tone of voice. he is often on Talksport and says some interesting stuff, just says it in the most uninteresting way

 

Highlights are on BBC at 11.20 tonight.You could always lock yourself in a cupboard,put cotton wool in your ears,not watch the news(BBC or ITV) and listen to the highly paid expert Lineker waxing lyrical after the event?

 

do you work at ITV? you seem very passionate about them

 

Maybe like me he just thinks ah it’s the bbc so everyone thinks they’re great when the evidence is they aren’t.
Lineker is smug
Shearer average
Ferdinand a joke who gets his words completely muddled up, even shearer took the piss the other night.
And Richards is absolute ****
The whole thing is naughty schoolboys messing about with the exception of fat Frank who is excellent.
while itv have
Keane excellent
Souness excellent
Neville excellent
