Euro2020 Knock Out Rounds

[coollino]

….sometimes teams are scared to win. It was all so comfortable for England, they carried threat and looked solid. The longer it’s gone, they’ve retreated, they’ve shown signs of wanting to waste time.

England’s best chance is to go for a 2nd rather than hang on to what they’ve got. I think they can score again, some terrific performances.

And Italy just lost it for the first 15 mins. I doubt they will be that bad again in the second half.

Have England only had 1 shot?

Been a very cagey first half. Italy will have to force it 2nd half so should open up a little.

Props to England if they hold out but its awful football. Like watching Ireland under Trappatoni.

England could win 2-0 or lose 2-1, dunno really

It could go either way, Clive

I actually think it's smart.

Kill the game and go for the second later with Grealish. It's what worked so far, and it was obviously the best plan for coping with Italy.

Your problem is that you have to win outright because of their GK advantage.

Boring first half. The incessant boos every time Italy get the ball are annoying me greatly.

Childish behaviour.

 

[arbok]

England seem like they’re missing a player in attack can’t string passes together.

italy also can’t get thru in attack but I think they’re happier playing in England’s half.

But this is the game England wanted, with 3 at the back and a goal up. I think they’ll keep it as it is.

Shaw has to be in for a shout for player of the tournament hasn't he?

Sterling been mine of the English team but Shaw been very good, especially today.

Great scenes around the country and meanwhile in Liverpool….

Think England are comfortable here, can't believe how nervous the supporters in the crowd look.

For a tournament final, it looks like there is only one team in it.

It's like Barcelona playing Crvena Zvezda if you exclude the Shaw goal

I’m just happy we scored first. If Italy had scored I reckon it would be game over.

Long way to go here - games on a knife edge.

No one got through though according to the bosses at Wembley.

See jenas blame Pickford for Maguire putting it out for a corner
