EURO 2020 FINAL. England v Italy. At Wembley. Thread.

[Sir Shep]

I’m still convinced it’s going to extra time because life is never easy for us but I’m pleasantly surprised with our team so far. Mount off though please. 

[Fox in the North]

No coincidence that Italy looked better after Jorginho had a knock, seemed a lot of reorganising went on then.

[Pliskin]

No chance England are losing this. Italy are miles off it. 
 

Shaw and Trips are horribly exposing their wing backs, and we’re tearing through their midfield like it’s not there.

 

Second half, come out all guns blazing get a second and it’s game over. 

[Countryfox]

I think it’s a bit closer than the pundits think …. they’ve had some chances .. 

[Blue-fox]

Mount off and saka/sancho on so we have pace on the break

[Super_horns]

So far so good .

 

Playing well

Italy are horrible going forward.

The 2nd half will be tense. We’ve been the better team, however both teams are capable of playing better football. 
 

The early call most likely changed how Italy wanted to play this game and silence the home crowd. 
 

Chiesa is the danger man is a very capable player.

If Mount comes off, it'll be for Henderson 

[Unabomber]

Anyone know where the leicester scenes they showed are at?

Get saka on and get at that ageing Italy back line… they have struggled with our pace and width let’s continue to go at their weaknesses

More like Mings and play a flat back 8.

I hope you’re right mate, but shithousery is Italy’s  middle name!

Morning side arena I’d imagine. Looked good

[Mr Mister]

I think Italy will equalise.

[fazzyfox]

Great to have DM's and CB's who want the ball and with Rice there and capable of playing CB, Maguire can stride forward knowing he's covered. Of course the formation means we have limited passing options on the break, maybe a Sako or Sancho on for Mount would let us put it into space and use pace in these situations but overall all very good so far. Fear they'll get or work one good chance, a second would be very welcome, remember how cruel this game can be.

[Parafox]

Anyone watching on ITV?

[foxy boxing]

The linesman was flagging there 

[Vacamion]

 

What was Mancini's jaw doing there?

 

Is he on uppers?

 

 

[AyewJoking]

Off to a flyer and although we've been doing a lot right, we have let Italy come back into the game and although they are nothing special there is always a danger.

 

Get a 2nd goal and I don't think Italy have enough about them to come back.

[Countryfox]

Dirty fookers ..  another wonderful Italian trait …

[Vacamion]

 

Raheem was already bound for the floor when they grabbed him.

 

 

[Tuna]

Shit. Free kick.
