I'd love to see England win and think they will, Wembley will help. But the Italians have all the experience at this level and can switch from total defence to attack so quickly. I don't think any team has unsettled the defence yet but the Italians are full of tricks ... ... they always seem to find a way no matter what they have to do.
Coping with their ****housery will be our biggest test imo. Those 2 CBs are about 150 years old and know every trick in the book. We can do it, but it's not going to be easy.
If England fail to win I just hope Pickford and Henderson aren't the ones they pin it on ... ... some of the pundits seem to have it in for them.
Agree. Pickford has been one of our best players and even Hendo when he's come on has been amazing. Lee Dixon and his bias comments can **** right off
Kane has to be the furthest forward, into his feet and then onto the lads with pace to undo their centre halves.
My wife couldn't believe it when I told her Chiellini was 36, she thought he was one of the players dad or something.
If I was Italian I'd ****ing love all the ****e he gets up to on the pitch. All the picking Jordi Alba up was mental and definitely had an effect on the shootout. Kane needs to be careful of all that ****. Smile, be polite, shake hands and then get down to business and put them to bed.
Yeah that was a great performance from him, I enjoyed that. Can't be many players out there with more high quality experience than him.
We have the players now who have nearly all played in top top finals as well as playing in the best league in the world. Benucci and Chiellini should be ****ting themselves at facing Kane, Sterling etc. No ****ing Morata here. 4-0 England. Or maybe 1-1 and penners.
I think he has proved a lot of people wrong including myself, can’t really fault his tactics or selections at all to be fair
Me too tbh. Not very exciting to watch but nobody can argue with getting to the final. Fair play to him.
I’m really starting to **** myself now like, gonna be an absolute wreck tomorrow, I’m watching 1966 final on channel 4 atm and that’s bad enough
Different ball game now mate, nowt can prepare us for tomorrow. I'm watching Independence Day on film 4. Seen it loads of times but it's easy watching.
Hoping more than confident. Any win. ET, penalties, a late goal bouncing in off Kanes buttock will suffice. If we are getting beat I hope we kick a few of the cheating pizza faced w*nkers into next week
I have to say I think the Italians have a lot more about them than cheating. England aren't blameless, in that respect, and the semi-final penalty was engineered if we're being honest. Italy have played some lovely football and I just hope it's a great game won by the best team, hopefully England.
We are going hot dog sausages and cheese on sticks, mini pork pies, crisps, crackers, little sandwiches, biscuits, cake and trifle with a nice spread on the table maybe a volevant or two
