Italy are a spent force Probably I wouldn't say they are a spent force as I think Mancini has gone a fair way to adding youth and pace to the side. But they do have two geriatric centre backs which should give us a decent chance of a win. And, unlike them, we don't appear to have had any injuries to key players.

Im putting on an insurance bet of Italy 1-0. An early goal for them followed by a game of frustrating broken up play is more than feasible and would kill the final.
I do favour England for this but its pretty even really. I just hope we go after them and dont play a cagey, overly defensive game.

Italy over 30 odd games unbeaten, thats nearly a Premiership season, which proves they are a very hard nut to crack, but we have home advantage, so it will come down to who holds their bottle better in a Penalty shoot out.

The English are carrying the full weight of expectation now aswell, a final, at home, with the English insisting 'it's coming home', surprised Mancini hasn't started them mind games to ramp up the pressure

The Toxic Avenger What is your head saying? What is your heart saying? What kind of game are we going to see? I think if this game plays out 10 times, we win 3, maybe 4 times. I make them favourites. My heart is saying the obvious, just fucking win it, don't care how, can be the shittest game in football history for all I care! My head says, if we are being honest and this was a WC final in, say, Moscow, we'd probably all go 60/40, maybe 65/35 in favour of the Italians. However, we're at home, the huge majority of the crowd will be behind us, I think that was a factor against Denmark and could be tonight, so that reduces it to 55/45 in favour of the Italians, possibly even 50/50 for me...

Rumours of back 3
Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Trippier Rice Phillips Shaw Mount Kane Sterling

Not getting on the pitch much though is he? He's an obvious sub If Kane comes off he's the obvious choice (Calvert Lewin is good but Chiellini would be comfortable facing him). If Sterling or Saka comes off here's some more pace (& bit just pace either) for tiring Italians to worry about. The Italians are definitely not as strong as us if the match goes into extra time. They tired badly in their last game late on.

Rumours of back 3 Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Trippier Rice Phillips Shaw Mount Kane Sterling I've given up having a pop at Gareths team selections now, but Mount??? Surely with their back line, pace, pace and more pace is the order of the day? He loves Mason for some reason.

I get that heโs not blessed with explosive pace but I watched him quite closely last game and he has so much movement. Gaps were opening up all over the place, heโs a clever player and doesnโt get enough credit.
