Final: Italy vs England

Italy grew into the half but I think England are happy to soak up the pressure right now. Id rate their chances at keeping a clean sheet and maybe getting another on the break.
 
Dull game, mainly because England have decided to park the bus since minute 2.

Not saying it's a bad strategy, Liverpool won the Champions League 2 years ago playing like that (Salah early goal and then catenaccio) so it could be a great strategy but it's been a boring half.. We look clueless by the way, no idea what to do against their display..

England to win 2-0 imho..
 
England probably going to win like this.

Then we'll see Jose in the media next week complaining how he was criticized for winning with tumescent football and how unfair people are to him, because he won 3 trophies at United, and repaired Shawn's leg with his mind power, but also 3 trophies at United, and how he plays good football, but also 3 trophies.

I can see this happening.
 
:lol:

Yeah, exactly the same quality of teams.

Not same quality, nowhere near. Sancho for example alone would be ripping the shit Italian fullbacks new arseholes. As he would Denmark, Ukraine, etc. But do we get to see any good stuff? No, just occasional glimpses from Kane.
 
The final tends to not be a great game.

The Portugal v France one was boring, as well. The last really entertaining one was probably 2000.
Nah.. Euro 2012 final was pretty entertaining before Torres kills the game off.
 
Saka for Mount? Wouldn’t you get the defensive side, legs and a bit more going forward? Probably won’t get the intricate box play, but is that as needed atm?
 
There will be moments of pressure in the second half but the pressure on the Italians to score is going to be immense. This one's a done deal, boys and girls. Sir Gareth Southgate, take a bow.
