Did you miss Olmo’s penalty? Morata’s was at least on target!

England or Denmark stand no chance against Italy.

Disagree. Based on that match I don’t think England have anything to fear from Spain or Italy. As much as I dislike Gareth’s style, he has made us incredibly difficult to score against and we’ve started making good chances

Italy missed Spinazolla’s creativity

Emi Martinez is the greatest. My mate is Argentinian, all that talking you can hear during the Colombian penalties is Emi calling them pussies and telling them he’s going to eat them. :heart::heart::heart:

Sorry but Italy played thrilling football at times. England’s first goal against Ukraine aside, we just don’t play football like that. Austria game was a blip. They’ve looked imperious otherwise.

Don’t agree that England or Denmark would stand no chance but I do agree that Italy have played some lovely football at times and I’ve noticed people in general are very reluctant to give them much credit for it.

They’re a lot more attack-minded than in previous tournaments.

Haha! Just being realistic. It will never come home! 1966 was an aberration. Turgid football is a true reflection of our national character. Bask in it!

As someone who wouldn’t exactly be devastated if Denmark win tonight, to say England have no chance is guff.

All 3 teams have a chance.

They’re all professional footballers and it’s just 2 one off knockout games.

There a lot of super short term variance to ride out.

Yeah if they played each other in a monte carlo simulation Italy would win like 55% of the time, England 35% and Denmark 10% but that’s if they payed this out 10,000 times.

As Chris Waddle says you just have to hope your opponents miss they’re chances and you bury yours. Easy game when you boil it down.

Let’s get past Denmark first before we start discussing if England have a chance against Italy please!

The way England played when going 1-0 up against Croatia was a reminder that we can fall back into the bad old ways if not careful. Hopefully we’ve learnt our lesson and I am wrong, but we will struggle against Italy I feel.

Also Denmark beat England in October last year at Wembley.

This is good!

Cmon Gareth.
