Just looking at some of the scenes in London at the minute, some of these lads aren't going to remember a thing about today.

Friends in Belgium have sent me a photo of their local bar decorated with Union flags.
Claiming that all Europe supports Italy is nonsense put about by the click bait hunters.

No mention of the Germans but the Telegraph report that the Italians are also buoyed by the news that 69 per cent of French fans will be rooting for the Azzurri, with just 20 per cent hoping for an England win and 20 per cent staying neutral, according to the French paper L'Equipe.And that the Italian newspaper La Stampa reports that "Europe cheers on Italy". "Italy Dreams" is the succinct front page headline in La Stampa, an Italian daily, as the Azzurri prepare to play England at Wembley. It won't just be a football match but "a question of identity and history."The paper notes with glee that "the Brexit effect" has oriented the rest of the EU towards supporting Italy and shows a gallery of big Brussels names who have come out for the Italians, from Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, to Charles Michel, the president of the European Council.Maybe there is something in this (that's doing the rounds)... This may seem a bit picky to some but there are some serious inaccuracies in that map. 1.No Italian flag in Islington 2.No English flag in the one half of Glasgow 3.No English flag in Kosovo (100 percent behind England). It is the Telegraph though, almost as bad as that anti British comic the Guardian these days. I know the standard of the press can be dire at times but... The map is just something someone has knocked up for a laugh on the internet, its doing the rounds on Facebook etc.π

Noone likes us Noone likes us Noone likes us We don't care.... Oh by the way I do realise it's not true,the French staff at my local are 100 percent behind England (all three of them!)π

3 at the back. Trippier in for Saka. No Foden on the bench - injured.
Looks a somewhat defensive line up.

Personally would have stuck with 4231 with Mount dropping in just ahead of Phillips and Rice to deal with Italyβs midfield 3. Playing 3ATB with wing backs suggests to me that Phillips and Rice are directly up against 3 Italian central midfielders which is a worry, but I have to say Iβve questioned a bunch of Southgates decisions so far and heβs been right every time, so we canβt really question his judgment now. Seems like it could be similar to Germany. Look to hold a clean sheet for as long as possible then push later on in the game.

best way to beat them is to bombard them with crosses, Kane and Maguire on the end of them
Italians are quick through the middle, just hope harry doesnt get caught the wrong side and have to haul someone down
come on England

Satisfactory. Both keepers underused.

Phillips and Walker outstanding in the game. Doom and gloom on radio 5. Unnecessary in my view.
