Rio Ferdinand talking absolute shite at the end there, about how England would take care of both of them & that they are the better team

I just realised that I left a thought in this post half undone, it must of been because Rio came up with his nonsense whilst I was writing & it broke my train of thought. What I was going to say was in response to Goodfella's comment on Italy being more tired was: Even if England do win their game against Denmark you don' know how England would win it, they might go the full 120 as well, as it turns out, that is what happened.

Gonna be a hell of a final, Italy need to avoid own goals & penalty rebounds awarded from a dive

I’m moving to the moon until Sunday night - it’s going to be unbearable until then

Think i’ll Watch the final with no volume too

Will look for Mancini’s phone number to have a word with the wee man about Sunday

I did say I’d congratulate so great job I’ve thought since the quarters if it is England v Italy in final that England boo them for basically the whole match which would be uncalled for, if we can avoid that and have a goal filled game

They should also avoid settling for scoring from their only decent set piece then letting the opposition put together all the potent moves thereafter.

Well done England.

And that's all I'll say for now until Sunday. Hopefully it will be a final to remember.

Semi finals are never easy affairs and after all the heartaches of years gone by it is nice to see England get through to a final.

But it will all be for nothing without victory on Sunday. Sport at the highest level is a ruthless, results business.
There is no celebration on my part whatsover.
There is a job for England to do in one final match.

I think back to comments apparently made by the coach of the England cricket team Trevor Bayliss to his players after defeating Australia to reach the World Cup Final of 2019.
“That’s why Australians think the English can’t win anything. You’re celebrating winning the semi-final, but real winners win the final.”

Truer words never spoken.
Italy will be a mighty tough opponent and one that I admire immensely having always appreciated Serie A and Italian football generally down the years.
May the best team win.

Snooks you forgot to thank my prediction.

Can't believe Harry Kane could win a title with England before Tottenham showing you exactly why he wants to leave Tottenham.

It's so good to see England in a final. Another dive from Raheem Sterling and we might even win the trophy!

I trust the above comment is sarcasm and not approval of such conduct.
