So when are Italy turning up then?...

Cannot underestate how much Italy miss Spinazzola. He is the fastest player of Euro 2020 and Italy to be honest just don't have another wingback of his calibre to replace him. The difference in how they attacked before and after his injury are like chalk and cheese.

Source: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/026b-12b6f731e3f6-06ff9cab6bb0-1000--euro-s-fastest-and-most-tireless/

Top speed (km/h)
33.8: Loïc Négo (Hungary)
33.8: Leonardo Spinazzola (Italy)
33.7: Kingsley Coman (France)
33.6: Cody Gakpo (Netherlands)
33.5: Daniel James (Wales)
33.5: Marcus Rashford (England)

For pure, explosive pace, Hungary's Loïc Négo and Italy's injured left-back Leonardo Spinazzola remain the men to chase, though in terms of pace it would be a photo finish between most of the top six in a 100m sprint. England's Kyle Walker (32.0km/h) and Ciro Immobile of Italy (31.7km/h) were among the top five speed merchants in the semi-finals.
 
Everything is falling for them, bounce of a ball, lucky blocks, ref decisions, I'd be surprised if Italy win this
 
Not looking good, Mancini needs to shake things up and quickly, Italy look a busted flush.
Engerland won't have a better chance, ever.
 
England have parked the bus and look quite comfortable in defence. Italy are getting frustrated, but they must get their slick passing game going again. Move the ball quickly and accurately, force mistakes from England. At the moment there's only one team in it. I hope Roberto is giving them the mother of half time talks.
 
Shit game. England are poor but there is no opposition. Wish Italy could get going. Shaw goal was good, he’s the only England player to look decent in the first half.

Its ok Mourinho will still say that he did it all wrong, should have hit it with his right foot

Italy have a goal in them. Agree with Pego move the ball quickly and create the space hopefully. Or will Rashford come on and make it 2-0 ? :-(

Unfortunately can't see it coming, England more likely to score next imho
 
So hundreds of English fans storm past stewards manning barriers,throwing bottles and punches, and make thier way into the stadium, fans sitting on the stairwells, (BBC News feed) ...
Well well...
Didn't see that coming 👀
Scum
 
Had Italy scored from the free-kick conceded by Sterling (what delicious irony) I'd know this would end well. But it's going to sh1t, this.
