I’ll settle for a 2-1 win in normal time, Harry Kane scoring both, he gets the Golden Boot award and England are Euro champions - what could possibly go wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So basically it's home field advantage. The Italians are great actors though and I would expect to see histrionic drama to fit the occasion.
I honestly would have thought Italy would have been the slight favorites - aren't they unbeaten in something like 30 odd games and giving only a handful of goals away (although may well have heard that wrong)?

There is of course home advantage - a massive game for both sides, but maybe more pressure on England.... :?

Anyway - good luck to the Lillywhites... :wink:

It's called cheating.

We know the ref, supported by the VAR room is highly trained. How can we even doubt these professionals?

These guys are totally unbiased.

I don't know what game it was long ago, when Zidane headbutted the Italian guy for calling his Mother some foul name, and unfortunately Zidane was ejected I think.....and they lost the game?

Watch out for things like that on Sunday if there are any sensitive guys with a short fuse on the England team.

I think it depends what part of the world you come from. If South America, it's a definite foul.

Italians having a go at the English for 'diving'? Couldn't make it up. 🤣🤣🤣




Though it was a soft penalty, we deserved one earlier so it balanced itself out. All this hoo haa of no penalty, first Denmark goal shouldn't have counted due to their players being too close to our wall, Kane penalty not given, fans doing this or that..

Doesn't change the fact we were the better team on the day and thoroughly deserved the win.

Just seen Sunday's schedule for sport. We have the England final, the men's Wimbledon final, Brazil/Argentina Copa America final and the Conor McGregor/Poirier fight. Some clash with each other with the times but what a day of sport! :D

In the current climate, you've really got to be quite some level of buffoon to make such a comment 'n think it'll pass by easily. 🤣🤣🤣
