Whatever happens I think this team will be even better in the World Cup and I think we can make and possibly win a final there as well.

Italian newspapers! Just trying to pressure the ref in advance of tomorrow. It was a penalty, three attempts to foul the player which resulted in him falling over. It's our best way to attack them tomorrow, run at them in the box. Crosses in for a header will likely be eaten up by their central defenders. Whatever happens, I hope we don't go one down. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Every feeling I have is this will be quite attritional. If Italy go 1 up I expect all manor of sh!thousery from them and it could be a steep learning curve for these younger players I can see this going to penalties and then the lottery that is. Only plus with that is we do have some decent penalty takers in the squad Be wonderful if we can get that early goal that always opens up one offs and then I really think we will have too much for Italy in an open game So 1-1 for me and edging in on penalties. Well I can dream | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Similar to the Denmark game. I just can’t see the Italian defence living with subs like Grealish, Foden, Sancho etc. But I think they’ll try to blow us out the water early on.

I believe it will be a high scoring very entertaining game with England winning 3-1 or 3_2 . Critical that they score first of course like most teams once they have the lead they play free flowing stuff.Sad to see Foden is a huge doubt he brings a lot of energy and passion especially when the other team is chasing | ![](/images/avatars/24928.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It’s hope, mate. My “dreaded” scenario is Italy being in a position to play out the last twenty and for them to stifle the game. Shithousery central. | ![](/images/avatars/1815.gif) |

Only the Keeper would get in the England team imo so don’t understand your thoughts. England will never have a better opportunity to win this trophy the way things have panned out.

Gave a bloke a hand(needed the carriage he was using), loading his van at the Home Depot in Somerville, turned out he was from Luton, then back at the plant we're working in, one of the loaders turned out to be from Twickenham..yes, a Brentford man. Big day for football chatter all round between them, myself and the Palace and Millwall blokes who were with me today. So the predictions for tomorrow were.... QPR 2-1 Palace ..England win on penalties Millwall...0-2 Luton...0-2 Brentford...1-0. Mixed bag of opinions here in New England. [Post edited 10 Jul 2021 18:41]

In my defence my post opened up with 'I've been trying to convince myself that I am happy to have reached this stage'. Of course I want us to win, of course the players should believe they can but I'm not certain that we will and the 'happy have made this stage' is probably a defence mechanism. | ![](/images/avatars/28456.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

A big if, but if we do again and get an early goal it will be a challenge for Italy. If we don't score early I reckon it'll get quite cagy Italy scoring first will be very bad for my blood pressure. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
