He's huge for the defence imo. Stones and Maguire are tankers. If they get turned its over for them. Then pops walker out of nowhere
Final: Italy vs England
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
Ref getting his blood pressure checked.
That's Utd Maguire right there
There are a healthy proportion of posters on here who think Rice is overrated.
There's the Maguire heading ability we know and love
Classic Slabby 
That's the right attitude.
You call that “getting the shit kicked of him”?
His best game of the tourny by far. His positioning has been top-notch.
I see Maguire has scored his quota of headed goals for the next 3 years.
Take Mount off.
A phenomenon unique to Sterling but for a few other English players who do it. No other country in Europe has ever been known for this sort of behaviour.
Sterling is not tracking back well atm
imagine if Slabhead could aim his headers even slightly.....
Klinsmann, one of the few neutrals that doesn't utterly despise England with a passion.
But seriously, is there any non-English caftards supporting England tonight? There has to be one of you out there
I do, and I reckon most Norwegians support England tonight.
Love that Shaw is doing so well! So deserved.
<3 You're appreciated it too
We are far too deep, it's too early to try and hold what we have.
An Italy goal would vastly improve this game. Come on, give us some drama.
He'd finish each season with double digits in terms of goals
England have been this deep since the 25th minute. Italy don’t look like breaking them down.
He'd make Steve Bruce look goal shy.
We really need another goal!
We'll see next season. His bollocks will be much bigger if he comes back with a winner's medal.
The quality to hold the ball is weak. Winning it and tackling is fine but keeping it ….
Grealish is the one to do that
We're sitting too deep now. Don't like it.
So good at getting on the ball, so poor at guiding it somewhere meaningful.
Exactly.
Picked up a lot in last 15-20 but disappointed with Italy compared to most of the tournament (bar Spain).
Did they peak too soon? Is Spinning Zola such a loss? Is England's shape better than previous opponents?

feck that - I’d take 30 mins of the worst football imaginable if it stays 1-0.
Not sure how that will help his heading but I'm sure his girl will be happy.
Bring Grealish on.
What the hell ref??
We're sitting back a lot. Could do with a bit of possession.
What was that call?
Italy don't seem able to score.
Will be surprised at this point if it didn't end with 1-0.

Someone said it best on here recently; he’s tall for no good reason.
Get Grealish on! We cannot keep the ball at the moment and are dropping deeper and deeper.
Italy are defending against themselves better than England are
yup, bet everyone seems to think every midfielder should be Brian Robson reincarnated or something.
Rice is limited in that hes not much help going forward, but that is not what you buy him for. He could do the work we have to use McFred for right now, freeing up a spot for an attacker.
