I hope we get more analysis of how amazing Italy have done in this tournament from tomorrow onwards rather than more about England.

Italy beat three of FIFA's top 10 in the World and beat two of those without one of the player's of the tournament in Spinazolla. They also beat England at Wembley in front of a crowd with Chiesa (another player of the tournament contender) going off injured with significant part of the game left to play and were the only side to win two penalty shoot-outs.

They didn't even qualify for last World Cup.
