They talk about toughness but I think they got quite fortunate. After Spain scored they went well into their shell. Don’t get me wrong they’re a good side but they are 100% beatable.
No idea who I'd rather play, if we beat Denmark. Both would be tough but neither unbeatable. Italy are on a long unbeaten run but remember Huddersfield.
One of the best euro games I’ve ever seen. I think not really worrying about who wins made all the more enjoyable. On paper we should be playing Italy Sunday, let’s hope we don’t fluff our lines tomorrow night.
The nightmare scenario is Italy going 1-0 up, then scrapping until the final whistle, hoping to catch us on the break
Take the lead though, and I think their aging defence will struggle against the pace of Sterling, Sancho, Saka etc as they'll have to open up more, we'll be able to catch them on the break
Italy haven't lost in 2 years, and haven't gone behind in their last 20 games.
Yes they haven't looked immense tonight, but anyone thinking they are anything but a formidable opponent in a final, needs to think again
Yeah but we didn't concede to Ukraine. So who are really the favourites here?
Why have you suddenly gone back to negative nelly? It’s so weird.
Just think the underrating of some of these sides is absurd.
For instance beating Belgium (one of the favourites of the tournament) by only one goal is seen as a negative.
Belgium were favourites with Hazard and De Bruyne... no hazard and de bruyne playing with a snapped Achilles means Italy struggled past 10 men really...

Both tough - both doable. Come on England.
Even he knew he was missing before he took it.
England vs Italy will be a great final on Sunday
