Watching the Italian guy playing tennis against Dj and heās 6-6 after being a break down and takes the 1st point in the tiebreaker, seems promising for laterā¦

Iāve always taken an interest in the Spain national side as my mum is Spanish, and as jalfrezi said it was underachievement rather than being useless. I did always think that once theyād managed to shake that off (beating Italy on pens in the qf of Euro 2008 was the pivotal moment), theyād hit their stride. I thought the Spain team at the 2002 wc had the potential to go all the way (Morientes, Raul etc), but the S Korean travesty of justice put a stop to that (although Spain had not exactly played great against Rep Ireland in the previous round).
Zinedine Zidane was noted for saying that once Spain started winning they wouldnāt stop, and 3 major tourney wins in a row was a pretty incredible achievement.
Think Southgate might go with the back three tonight.
Tbh he got the pick of any ladies he wants tonight
OKā¦ This is quite good watch it all

I donāt think heās an Eriksson type of manger.
Thatās my hunch too. Saka could come on as a lively sub if they need a goal, and I think Southgate will probably show the natural caution that he prefers against strong teams.
Apparently an Italian āseriousā newspaper is saying that the fix is in, England have already bought victory. Letās hope so!
[Google translate of the heading, itās paywalled and in Italianese]
Euro 2020, thinking badly makes it sinful but ā¦ the English have already won
For Italy-England, letās not have too many illusions: the generous penalty against Denmark is not a good sign. And UEFA is indebted to Johnson for the Super League
Thereās nothing quite like getting excuses in early.
