    Sterling over to the right where he has been very effective.

    Zero work for Pickford in the 2nd half. Denmark is very solid but England is wasting too many opportunities.

    It’s only England now they will 100% score if they keep on going like this. Denmark’s only hope are the penalties.

    Yep. What’s the point of VAR anyway?

    I feel bad for Denmark they don’t deserve to win this game but at they same time they don’t deserve to lose because of a gift for England from the ref.

    Jack Grealish off again? Injury presumably?

    So it’s gonna be Italy vs England.

    As an Italian I have to say I’m happy. If we lose, we lose. If we win, it would be one of the most epic achievement in our impressive football history. Anyway, if 3 Lions will prevail, I’d be kinda fine with that since England is a great country but they basically never won anything.

    England - Italy will be a great final.

    Not sure about the penalty think it was for a foul by second defender.

    England best team in the end. Sunday is going to be some game. Glad England had to battle for this game.

    Great scenes though I am guarded, I will go crazy only when Kane lifts the trophy above his head.

    It’s gonna be the 28th game between the two. 10 won by Italy and 8 by England. It’s gonna be very tense. England just cannot lose at home while Italy is on a mission to avenge Spinazzola. I’d say there’s more pressure on England. That’s one of the few times that both of the two very best teams of the tournament make it to the final.

    It will be close I think England can get at Italys back line with our pace, Italy have Chiesa, Berradi and Insignia very tricky players, two well matched teams.

    These last two semi-final games were pretty intense! Will be cheering for Italy this time out, after my Germans were defeated by England. It will be a great matchup.

    Yeah especially if they’re that good at diving! :D :D :D

    PS Italy has Donnarumma as well amazing huge goalkeeper.

    I genuinely believe Italy is slightly better as an overall team and I think this whole tournament proved it but for England this is the most important game since 1966 for endless reasons. It’s gonna be tied and details will decide the match.

    I don't think Italy have a better Squad though you do have a better manager.

    I think England have a higher ceiling than Italy.

    It's going to be a very intense match. My prediction : 2-1 Italy realistically, but come on England!!
