Mick after tonight:
I went to see England, but England lost
It wasn't much fun standin' in the rain
And we all yelled loud and we all complained
Wasn't much of a game
I got soaked
Didn't wanna come anyway

like I said before: Italy will win 2:0 (end of the story).

If England are going to win tonight they are going to have to play the cleanest game of football, the Italian team will try to sway the referee a foul has been committed at every turn. They are brilliant actors, it's cheating really and they are masters of it.
As for the game of football itself England should deliver if they keep their heads, best team in the tournament so far.

England, due to the benefit of home turf, will of course be beforehand favorites. I think they will stand a 60/40 chance of winning it. England has a strong overall defense foremost.
They are also very good on set pieces including corners. Not exactly "jogo bonito" but very effective. And Italy has to look out for Sterling. He's the one creating the chances due to his mobility.

Great goal. England seems to play with a 3-5-2 system which left Shaw (I think his name was) unmarked against 4 Italian defenders. A bit passive goaltending. The goalie did nothing.
Shaw actually looks quite a bit overweight which is kind of a unique feature for a top athlete.

The Italians are the smarter players imo.

Luke Shaw (leftback Man United) is certainly not overweight. Like Lukaku and Ronaldo he is pushing weights like hockey players, it is all muscles.
