    That's one of my favourite all time Homer moments. The look on Marge's face.

    Really hoping Welbeck is injured, could be a blessing in disguise for us.

    He doesn't deserve to be in the team over Lallana, Sterling or Barkley so hopefully he's not available for Italy and one of those take his place.

    At least it's the same for both sides.

    Don't think that suits Pirlo particularly, and Balotelli will throw a strop. Probably better news for us, though it ain't great for a nice game of Saints style football......

    I have to say I think we will beat Italy, pitch issues or not.

    I think we are just ready to get on with it all - there doesnt seem to be the major hype that has surrounded the team ever since they lost the WC Semi in 1990. From then on the nation seemed to expect us to win everything...

    LTL, are you expecting Saints style football from England? Get ready for "Hart kicks it forward, Sturridge can't reach the header, Italy have it"

    Hart won't pump it forward, he'll try to play out from the back. Cahill or Jagielka will pump it forward after pausing to debate if they should pass to the fullback and deciding against it. And it won't be aimed at Sturridge's head, it'll be aimed at Rooney's or Sterling's for some reason.

    That'll make a change at least from the last Euros then. That's all he did in that tournament.

    England have arrived and are now training, without Danny Welbeck.
