England v Italy Euro Final Official Match Thread

Just popped the first can, hope it’s not to early

Just unleashed the first, good time while watching the build-up.

Which game are folks more nervous about. This or the CL final? Got to say I’m not nervous at all about this final. If we win then great, if we don’t then so be it. As long as City are winning trophies I’m happy

I’m similar, mate. I want it more for the feel good factor across the country, whatever happens the team has done well. Finals are always 50/50 and it could be a dodgy decision, a trip, a great goal or even a fluffed one that can win it.

Without a shadow of doubt and they'll be suing the Met tomorrow.

2-0 prediction
Sterling with a double

And after seeing the team sheet that is now more in hope rather than expectation

Ultra defensive line up that is. I guess time will tell whether he has got it right

[Harry Dowd scored]

I thought he would start with a back five and two DM’s disappointed but not surprised, ah well Come on England

[nottsblue]

Foden not even on the bench

[bluemoon]

Negative tactics and playing into Manchini’s hands IMO. Gonna be a boring cagey affair and hope I’m wrong but can’t see anything other than an Italy win.

Foden not even on the bench

Got that knock, didn’t he. Good to see him in the squad and on the Wembley pitch.

[bluemoon]

Fucking baboons. 10/10 for the leg sweep by the steward

[CTID Hants]

Foden not even on the bench

Took a knock, didn't train yesterday, gutting for him but hopefully there will be picking up a winners medal for his contribution

Let’s hope the knock isn’t a serious one. Bet he’s well gutted

No different to Greece when they won it by playing shit defensive football .
I forgave Greece for those tactics as they did not have world class players like we do , so fair do’s to them .

Goofy , on the other hand , has some of the best attacking players in the world and yet he plays with 8 defenders .

Boring as fuck to watch and watch and if this is how we can only win a trophy then I’ll be fucked if I would continue watching this kind of football .

The argument against is a trophy is a trophy —— but that’s a shit argument .

Good luck to all of you English chaps!
Hoping for a Sterling Master class and an entertaining game.

Foden not on the bench sadly. BBC tactfully not mentioning the alleged mayhem caused by a mob breaking through the gates

Foden not on the bench sadly.

With SouthGates tactics , he’s not needed .

Sterling has to take his chances today -

Nervous as fuck
