Irishone, as you know my feelings towards THEM...but even I have to admit with the potential of playing most of their games at home, it is a huge advantage for them. Just as a consolation for the girls of the family, to pay for the summer retsina, I have left them overall around a grand green just in case the most sickest situation happens...but I think Rome on a hot night will be their undoing.

The bookies are only just cottoning on that England should never ever have been joint favourites even if playing all games at home,drifting quite a bit from there original price now

The teams that have looked far better than England so far
France (Will kill them on the counter) Italy Holland Belgium (I don't like them but they'd beat England) Portugal Germany (I'd still back them over England anyday)
Even Ukraine, Wales and Sweden would do them on that tonight
But please spare us another Sweden England game ffs, that would be hard to get through

what an amusing read - this thread is developing nicely
the likelihood is Italy /England final and then its a coin toss imo
the spirit/confidence in both these camps is equally high - very strong defensibly and flashes of quality from both sides going forward. Hope it comes to pass .....
Meanwhile- 4 of our friends will be holidaying in Scotland the day of the final....whatamistakatomaka ...

Yes, this thread is shaping up to be a belter, but let’s not forget that the OP is a knob of the highest order. Which may take a bit of the shine off it.......or maybe not!

Will be very pleased if we beat the Danes , to make the final will be great ,Sunday a day of anticipation across the great nation regardless of outcome we will have had a roller coaster ride .. Irish and his mob will be fooooking seething as it is , us beating Germany must have nearly killed him
COME ON ENGLAND The Heart over the head involved , I didn't think we could win it but the heart over ruled the head , Irish hates England ,probably little thought put into his lay Could be a very hard two matches for him to watch .
Stick to Ya Dogs mate is my advice

he is a bitter person for want of a better word, slags off all the English tracks when there are probably more leg breaks and serious injuries at Shelbourne Park. cheers.

Shure, you'll be grand Irishone. Slow burning carbs of the pasta will sort out the Italian lads. Mancini will have them well drilled. 2-0, 2-1 Italy and Noel Gallagher makes a mint on royalties again...

At this point irish is right - England have won absolutely nothing. Mind you with their most recent m.b.e. diving his way to diverse infamy and the green laser light boys to assist in the stands there would seem no way Italy can win it.

Me thinks England have to win it in 90 minutes. Unless Southgate has them practising penalties all day today and everyday up until Sunday. Which would not surprise me !

I think our best chance will be extra time/ penalties Gawd! This could drive us all nuts
So Italy have gone 34 games without losing What chance they lose in 90 minutes tonight ?I think our best chance will be extra time/ penalties Gawd! This could drive us all nuts
1977 WCQ.. Italy were better than us. We went to Rome and lost 2-0.. Got them back at Wembley and won 2-0...
Basically what I'm trying to say is... IT'S COMING HOME!!
