No better than the Brazilians, italians and Spanish the English fans always accuse of play acting

VAR was equallly useless for the Danish second goal against Wales and Wilson's red card so I've got little sympathy for the Danes at the moment.
It makes for a better final but there wasnt much on show last night to scare Italy. Pickford looked dodgy at times under very little pressure.

I hear that Tom Daley has been drafted into the England squad for the final.

Italy at their best play a high intensity pressing game, but they looked out on their feet in extra time on Tuesday - their two least impressive matches have been at Wembley. I think England have to favourites, but if Italy are at their best, I’d say they’d have too much for them.

That’s a big “fence”, you’re sat on there Bob :hehe:

Sterling was checked at the end by the second guy coming across but already on his way down. Extremely soft.

I don't blame him though, when a ref and now var back that up then of course he is going down as would many many players including our own.

I don't get why they can't at least have the ref look at it, particularly when it means so much.

England deserved it though and I suppose you make your own luck when you are constantly getting players like sterling on the ball around the box.

Only one winner from 65 mins onwards.

Italy have played a tournament in 3 locations which is the same Wales experienced in 4 games.

Based on last FIFA World Rankings before the tournament, Italy have now beaten the nations ranked 29th, 23rd, 17th, 13th 6th, and 1st. Their next game is against side ranked 4th.

England have played in 2 locations as de facto hosts of the competition - with the added advantage of watching opponents travel distances before arriving in London.

Based on last FIFA World Rankings before the tournament, England have now beaten the nations ranked 44th, 40th, 24th, 14th, 12th, and 10th. Their next game is against side ranked 7th.

Both played 3 out of 3 group games at home.



Regarding England, I think they probably have a better floor of talent than anyone else and their celling of talent is right up their with best in the world - they going to end this tournament at least ranked top 2 in the world, my estimate only, and they'll deserve it - so I could definitely make a footballing argument that they should be in the final, but it does irk me a bit that the organisation of this tournament has handed them such a good advantage along the way.

This Welsh fan wants to point out that we played 29th, 13th, 10th and 7th best according to official FIFA Rankings, the reward or not of being a top seed, but don't expect too many sympathetic ears :hehe:

For me, Italy are the best team in the competition with Spinazolla in their side and are probably the best team even with him missing with a confidence rating in that latter statement of 60-65%.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 2 - 1 DENMARK. aet

England were by far the better side I reckon but if I was an English fan I’d have loved to see them go for the jugular in extra time, indeed in normal time.I know it was a semi final and all the caution such a fixture brings but a bit of adventure could have seen them calm English nerves with a two or three goal cushion. Italy will be a hell of a step up in class for them to contend with.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 2 - 1 DENMARK. aet

This England team with its current crop of players will win a major tournament, but I don't think this is the one. Italy I expect will be too wily for a fairly inexperienced group of players on the international stage. I expect England to go back to their 3/5 at the back system, Italy will win the midfield battle and pass them to death. It will not be a good watch.

If Italy play like they've played, which is good attacking football, the game should be decent.

Think England talented bench is a worry for any team , to think that Rashford ,Bellingham , Fodon, Tripper , Grealish , James , Bellingham and Sancho are not getting full 90 minutes is amazing , besides the stupid press / media they are a decent side ,not so cocky spice boy like .

I will be giving them a shout, never enjoyed Italian drama , feigning injury tactics .

Re: FT: ENGLAND 2 - 1 DENMARK. aet

The Italians do it to, in fact they are the best in the world at it along with the Argies…..some final coming up

Excellent point. I really hadn’t thought of that, and it’d be a real shame to see the final dominated by the these ponces rolling round when no one has touched them. Apparently Grealish has ordered a new aqualung and a big pot of ladies hair gel for Sunday.
