Crikey what a loss for Italy if he can't come back.

England are so fast and powerful.

Yeah, doesn't look the strongest ref so far.

What a ball from Walker that was.

Such a brilliant counter attack.

Fantastic from Luke Shaw to manoeuvre out from a tough spot then follow up his run.

WEEEW

Coming down quite a bit more than it looks.

Spirit of invasion again tonight, Gareth

Four stops out from wembo and England's arsehole fan contingent out in full force today harrassing women.

Maguire and Sterling?

England obsessed with Germany

It's too specific and considered to be a slip of the tongue too. Ffs

Jesus guys As super fun and interesting as this all is...... Maybe move this to PM if you have anything else you want to say.

Watching in my living room with my wife, probably largely in silence as I talk to people on N-O instead

Channel 4 are apparently showing the 1966 final in full, and in colour, at 5:40pm tomorrow. [Apologies if Giggs].

Considered the same change but Spinazzola was too good to leave out. Plus sympathy points for getting injured.

Good idea/team. CB is hard. Only minor change I'd have is Lukaku in for KdB (Belgium for Belgian) and Renato Sanches in for Forsberg, as I thought he was excellent until the Belgium game.

"NFL basketball timeout" got me

Clear dive IYAM

@Shak I'm guessing Drew Lock has a long lost English dad.....

The conditioning of this England team is superb. Southgate's slightly conservative approach (which I have decried on here a bit against lesser opposition) might be just the ticket vs Italy, if they can do enough to still be in the game at 60 or 70 minutes. Spain obviously have a completely different footballing ethos to England, but they showed you can definitely exhaust the Italians and soften their attacking prowess. The battle between Mancini and Southgate may be more important than any individual match on the pitch!

That's great, man.
