Predictions anyone? Going for Italy 2-0 at 90 mins
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 11 July 2021 18:28 (four years ago)
I think England will score but that's as far I'm going prediction-wise.

I'm going with my bet. Italy to win on pennes

Man the look of murder on Keane's face as they belted out Sweet Caroline

so southgate reverted to a 5-3-2. i feel like this makes him look desperate and doesn't have a lot of confidence in his squad.
i think italy will be forced to play a wider game with england trying to run the ball up the pitch. they'll most likely try to stifle harry kane, making some of the wingers more dangerous.
but contrast that formation to italy's 4-3-3 (more experienced). their players are a lot more well-rounded and can switch positions easier, i feel. it'll be interesting if they'll switch to a more 3-2-5. but i would use a 3-3-4/3-3-2-2, leaving a hole on the attacking half of the centre zone, essentially trapping england's midfielders in a little circle, so in this case, italy would have the midfield and the wide flanks covered, basically cancelling out any attacking game england is capable of

Every huge international football final has its “New Jersey"s - two huge event outfits that ultimately feel a bit hollow & signal a career decline

itv's lead commentator Sam Matterface is unbearable.

He is atrocious.

Southgate with the look of a man who knows they've scored too early

this one is going up the crack of PIckford's ass

I wasn't wrong
Very good goal.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:12 (four years ago)
praying your feed is 4 minutes ahead of mine and that I"m gonna see an Italy banger
― not up to Aerosmith standards (Neanderthal), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:13 (four years ago)
I am pro-Italy and take no pleasure in saying this but it’s going to be a pretty comfortable England victory imo.

so far England are playing better, but their finishing could be better, and games change.

Shaw is rampant but behind Trippier is promising

Italy not at the races so far. England more likely to score again.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:23 (four years ago)
England need another goal as I can’t imagine Italy will be as pish for rest of the match.
― Dan Worsley, Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:27 (four years ago)
Last 10 you have neither side creating much. Just cagey.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:30 (four years ago)
England are comfortable.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:31 (four years ago)
Italy just doesn't seem to know their way in. like they'll try hoofing it around for 2 minutes and then give up and try a low percentage cross in.
idk if being surgical is the way they win.
― not up to Aerosmith standards (Neanderthal), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:31 (four years ago)
italy have figured out england just want to move the ball up the flanks and are making it hard for them to do that. they let them play the ball at the attacking centre zone but can't break through the italian defence
― Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:32 (four years ago)
There’s no pace or creativity. Losing Spinazzola has been huge.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 11 July 2021 19:33 (four years ago)
well they're at least keeping the ball now but can't even manage to find a way to get a shot off, much less score.

To repeat myself from Twitter: I actually appreciate the ESPN coverage because at just the right volume the crowd noise and Darke/Twellman become an undifferentiated blur and I can watch in peace.

Chiesa!
