Alcohol poisoning? |
That may account for the way I'm feeling today 😷 |  |

I'd rather play Italy than Spain to be honest.
I think the Spanish have a far better chance of beating us. |
Its all opinions isn't it, but, for me, Italy far and away the best team in the tournament. |  | | |

Do think the lost of Spinnazola may well reduce their attacking options but they have been the most enjoyable side to watch in the tournament but those teams rarely win the competition. Spain create lots of chances if they had a Lewandowski or Kane would be the favourites for the tournament. | | | |

For me the odds on Spain beating us are higher because it would be their 4th major final in 13 years and our 1st for 55.
Give me a regular match against them now and I've no doubts that we'd go into it as favourites and I'd expect us to win but a final? However confident our lads seem and however they are, thankfully, able to approach tournaments with a clean slate, untarnished by previous failures there will be a lot of nerves going into the final.
Italy have, of course, been in 2 finals in the last 15 years but they have just emerged from a rebuilding project enforced by an abysmal failure to qualify for Russia 2018 and will be nervous too even if not to the same extent as we would possibly be. [Post edited 4 Jul 2021 18:17]

Historical stats have little to no bearing on the next fixtures. Italy have looked far better than Spain and are the only side left who've won every game. They have to be hot favourites for the final, just as England should be.
If it turns out that way England Italy will be a fascinating clash of two dramatically different playing styles. |  |

Lets get to the final first then worry about who we are playing if we get there. Denmark are the strongest side we've met so far imo. A very good team.
For me a massive moment came after we scored early last night, in the last Semi final we went for the jugular after the 1st goal and could have scored 3 or 4 but were out on our feet in the second half. This time we scored early and just managed the game, saved energy and knew gaps would appear and we could add more goals later just don't do anything daft. |  | | |

Thought Italy's first 45 v Belgium was the best I've seen of any team. Soft penno for the world number one changed the match. If Italy produces that first half they beat anyone | | | |

Really don't know why everyone is so terrified of Italy. Yes they've played well but so have we and we'll be at home if we make the final. Nothing to fear in any of the remaining teams IMHO. No guarantees but this is very winnable. | | | |

Worse thing you can do with Italy is go a goal down to them as they start diving, feigning injury, conning the ref who always seems to buy it all. The most shithousery team in history. |  | | |

Seriously though, just read that the final 21 minutes of their match against Belgium, the ball was only in play for 9 of those.
Cheating. | | | |

To be fair Immobile has proven that they do this before they score as well.
I hope that this blatant cheating has put a target on their backs and refs stop being so generous with them. I doubt it though.
Watching the end of the Italy vs Belgium game I said that we'll probably end up losing to an Italy side running down the clock as it would be more torturous than losing in the semi for me personally. |  | | |

I honestly haven’t noticed that Italy are vastly more culpable than any other team, allowing for the obvious fact that they haven’t been behind in a game. People with hammers seeing nothing but nails? | |

Its not just that they have played well here, they are on an incredible unbeaten run and have conceded 1 goal in 12/13 matches. | | | |

Annoying but thought the ref only 'missed' 1 minute - added 6, played 8, I would have played 9. | | | |

Yeah it's not the refs fault or anything and I don't think it's the time added on that's the problem, it's the loss of flow and momentum of the game. It helps if you're trying to equalise if you can build up pressure, their tactics stop that. It also made the second half a lot less fun to watch as a neutral. | | | |

Especially after Immobile’s embarrassing feigning of injury, I just hope ref’s simply stop (in all games…Euro’s, PL, EFL, CL etc) giving anything, even if legitimate (can they do that without getting in trouble with the authorities/assessors? Can the authorities/assessors give them permission?).
I’m not sure what else can be done other than to stop giving the foul. Maybe then the player’s will stop if there’s nothing to gain?

We haven't conceded in 7 games. We absolutely can beat them if we, and they of course, make the final. | | | |
