ITV: Pougatch, Keane, Neville, Wright (and Emma Hayes pitch-side). ITV it is -- at least there's a semblance of objectivity and insight, there. Definitely. I quite like Ian Wright so with Keane its an easy 2-0 win for ITV. I kind of thought Southgate would switch to 3 centre halves, its says he is cautious at minimum against a good opposition. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,374 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Mancini has to make changes. Italy have made a shocking start. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,787 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 All one way traffic at the moment - Southgate has his tactics spot-on. Italy struggling to get a foothold in the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,374 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 This is a typical England performance: they actually create bugger all, yet nick a goal through bad defending. They started well, but I think that was down to a poor Italy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Poor from Italy but strong from England. The physical size difference is glaring and making a big difference. Mancini should have spotted it very early that Shaw and Trippier are in acres of space. I can only see England scoring again in the second half with no reply. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The second best English crosser with a ball to the other full back. Reminiscent. England have performed well. Italy have created nothing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have pressed immensely well, they’ve created the only real chance and made it count. By far the better side so far. The number of times Tripier has been open if they had a Goldson. If only he was English. Edited July 11, 2021 by bmck 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,374 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I must be blind. I've seen England create nothing, with Italy creating several, albeit half, chances. England have been like this all tournament. Create bugger all, yet nick goals and defend well. At some point I'll need to concede that they're a better side than I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
