If we do get past Denmark tomorrow I'd prefer Italy in the Final simply because they play immobile!!

We'll have them over the barella

Hoping for Italy, as if Denmark should shithouse themselves into the final, Spain is our bogey team.

 

But Spain started really well with great and quick passing. They do look a bit impotent when getting close to goal though.

Olmo picking up some good spots. Italy looking a bit flummoxed by the false 9. Spain's final pass not been great so far, but they were a poor touch away from a one on one 6 yards out. Really good game this.

There’s been nothing that tasty yet, but Italy always look a bit suspect in these 50/50 challenges. They love going to ground.

Well Italy seem to be doing a lot of defending so someone’s attacking.

Yep definitely  fair point. Will be a good contest this one

[Guest Manini]

This is a ****ing class game by the way!! 

[Guest StevieLynex]

Cracking game, loving the tackles flying in etc

[egg_fried_rice]

Dodgy keeper 

[StanSP]

Italy should have done much better there.

Veratti and Barella pair of absolute nutters in the middle. Love a tackle.

Suddenly makes sense how both anthems got booed before kick off 

England fans booing national anthems of opponents!!!? No....never.....

[PhillippaT]

Can anyone shoot? (on target?)

[whoareyaaa]

should be scoring that

[Guest Manini]

Why is Danny Murphy acting like Olmo plays for Vauxhall Motor’s 2nd XI normally? 

[PhillippaT]

OOh. Should have had that.

Could see one of them walking. Good entertainment though!

Chiellini only missed out playing in the national team with Federico Chiesa’s dad - Enrico - by 3 years or so.

 

Mad!

Elmo isn’t it? 

[Finnegan]

Donnarumma is a proper old school keeper. 

 

Great hands, shit feet. 

[whoareyaaa]

like others have said Spain's passing is a joy to watch when played a high tempo like this usually they do bore everyone to death but against the better teams you see the quality

[egg_fried_rice]

Italy gonna have to play like old stingy Italy to win this on the showing so far.

Murphy Is the muppet, not Olmo 

[Guest StevieLynex]

Is Albrighton about to come on for Italy, sorry meant Marco Albrightini

[Finnegan]

Danny Murphy needs to join Martin Keown on the rocket in to the sun.

I think that was the plan going into it.
