He has been a fantastic player for Italy and still contributing but his behavior tonight at the coin toss was a bit strange .I was watching the game with 2 Americans and they both said he was odd but I pointed out it was his last ever chance ,he would not be taking a penalty so he might as well enjoy it .Not sure Jordy Alba was so amused .
No, but it definitely helped transmit Chiellini's happiness/relaxed state before a very tense shoot out.
Seemed to do the job, Italy did after all miss their first penalty but then so did Spain.
as i hoped for v Germany, let the english lads give their all, give everything on the pitch and leave no regrets, no what ifs or why didn't we do this/that or the other.....players and fans alike. and they did. every team needs luck and every game needs a good ref and overall, so far the refs have been good. no easy games at this level and i am PROUD of a 3rd semi final in a row, this side is building and learning and giving us back some pride and hope, THREE major finals in a row, that is amazing, remarkable and must give us all belief we are getting there , a top side, regularly competing and getting to the last stages of competitions. it's coming home> ? ffs we have a great chance to do it. cmon!
Amazing what sport and particularly football can do to a nation. Here at work we even have non footballing folk talking and feeling nervous I gather that the pubs at Wembley people are gueing to get at 12 o clock and the whole nation feels like they are behind the team As for tonight I honestly think we can win. Denmark are a good team and they are definitely playing on emotion and that can go either way. If we again score early I think it will be similar to Ukraine. It may just be the hurdle to far from them. We really are in a position where it is ours to loose and I really think we will do it Italy look knackered and could be there for that taking It's all been said but the bottom line this England team is the best in living memory IMO So a lonoooog afternoon in store Score early 3 0 us..... but most likely 1-0

Strongly agree with your post Malintabuk If England get ahead early they are very hard to beat and the more teaks open up the deadlier England become . Could easirl be another 3 or 4 goal fest for England tonight but a much tighter final with all that experience at the back for italy. I posted this on another thread but England are years ahead of all the top teams in the world blending youth with experience and have the players coming through so why not win this and the WC its very possible IMO

Does the Nations League count as a serious competition?
It should do but obviously nowhere near same level at Euros & World Cup , We did well to reach the semi beating Spain away and Croatia at home
The premise is good but the reality is that those friendlies people were moaning we had too many of were against Brazil, Argentina and top European sides.
It's the proliferation of competitive matches against sides like San Marino, Andorra, Lichtenstein and other minnows which is the problem, not friendlies.
I don’t see that much to fear in either Spain or Italy in this game. Denmark may be the toughest team out of the three actually in terms of their energy and gung ho attacking style.
All opinions isn't it - thought both Spain and Italy looked a cut above anything else seen so far in this tournament.

Should we be good enough to beat the Danes tonight, a strong start against Italy is very important- we would do well to avoid an equal score with 20 mins to go. I think, and hope that we have enough with home advantage and a tremendous young squad. Still edgy about tonight, mind!

I can’t say they haven’t both been impressive, and undoubtedly great to watch. I can just see what a managing their strikers out of the game and I can see Sterling and Sako only needing one chance to get past Anciento and Oldini at the back.
