I think this game is an allegory of what might happen this evening. Italian collapse to systematic pressure after showing some early flair. | ![](/images/avatars/1295.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree with you, I was talking to an Italian fan and we both reckoned the team who scores first will win. I think Dave makes a good point about our midfield, I worry that it will struggle defensively. It looked to me that it went missing a few times when Denmark were attacking. As others have said, I really hope this is a clean win, ideally for us, with the game settled without controversy or someone making a catastrophic error. | ![](/images/avatars/5145.gif) |

Now widely being confirmed. I think Southgate wants to keep it tight and wait till Italy tire before bringing on the likes of Grealish, Saka, Sancho etc. It worked well against Germany. Let’s hope it proves to be another tactical master stroke. | ![](/images/avatars/8501.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Suggests to me that he is playing 3 across the back with Shaw & Trippier wide....I like that formation. [Post edited 11 Jul 2021 17:40]

England ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿ v Italy 🇮🇹 Match Thread on 18:56 - Jul 10 by CiderwithRsie | England have started very strongly in the last towo matches. 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. |
