Italy's recent form hasn't been great.

With Uruguay losing today, a draw will be a good result for both sides.

1-1 for me, although I will be betting on a draw

Agree with the low score draw forecasts. Two evenly matched teams, 'don't lose your first match' and weather that will mean less player movement than normal...sounds like 0-0, which I've backed at 8 on here. We might be in for a seriously boring match here.

I think it was a fairly even game, poor final ball cost England big time & poor defending cost them a draw.

Be fair, Tommy.

That bit of the pitch on the right wing at the end England were attacking in the second half was only a problem for the attacking side in the second half.  That much is undeniable.

Never have to much expectation as far as England is concerned but they played ok to a point & the fact is Uruguay have to come out & get a positive result meaning England will get plenty of space in the next match, the problem will imo be the final game.

Yes, I thought England played pretty well - for England - too Pumpy, and I thought Sterling was very, very good indeed but the Italians were better - and made every shot count.
Which England almost always fail to do.

- and his voice is shocking for a commentator. Almost as bad as Owen's.

It's absurd having ex-footballers doing jobs other people are far better at just because they're ex-footballers.
Particularly ones who've already made millions out of the game.
Give someone else a bite of the cherry.
