England will beat Italy on Sunday. As an Irishman, those words burn...but there is a sense of inevitability about it all now. England were the better side tonight, and they got a massive break. They took it. That's what winning sides tend to do. I'd be sickened if I were a Dane. I thought the officiating was very poor. I doubt the Italians can expect a better standard on Sunday. Referees are human and are influenced by big home crowds - especially after 18 months without them. They'll need to score a couple of very clear goals to win this, in my view, and any team with Ciro Immobile as its main threat is going to struggle to do that.
I like Gareth Southgate and these are good players. I don't think they have too much to fear now.
