Haha cluster fuck ticketing

Outside Wembley there were lots of people walking the wrong way down the slope to the stadium, something you would only do, surely, if you had no ticket. At one point they announced that a “ticketing issue” was stopping them getting people inside the stadium itself.

As I went to enter the ground, there were loads of lads hanging about, trying to persuade ticket holders to let them squeeze behind them through the turnstiles. Some were giving up but others were persisting.

The turnstiles themselves are unmanned: you scan your ticket. So it required the vigilance of the stewards about five yards back to see if this is happening. I made sure I went in alone but the person behind me allowed someone to try. This lad was spotted and the stewards were detaining him but clearly lots were getting through.

When it came to enter the block, the two stewards were not interested in seeing my ticket. I tried to show my ticket – really put an effort into it. The two stewards talked to each other and did not look at my phone, and others strolled past unchallenged. How can they eject people without tickets if there are no checks at the entrances to the blocks?

Friends I was meeting inside reported seeing police tearing after people on the concourse. Apparently there were lots of phone thefts. One of my friends has his 13-year-old son with him. Inside the stadium, the police were chasing someone and the boy managed to trip them up. The police thanked him for saving someone’s phone.

Italy with a free kick right on the edge of the area, but can't find the target.

I feel like there's been better decisions than wearing a blue England shirt to the game that has the exact same dark stippling as an Italy shirt.

Nasty chop on Sterling and it gets a yellow card.

Not surprised to see the Italian striker subbed. He’s been…well…fairly immobile.

Chaos in the England box and Italy get a deserved equaliser. 1-1.

Chiesa is an awesome footballer. Best player on the park imho.

England only themselves to blame. Surrendered the tempo of this game.

Bones

Whatever happens, that was some shit hot work by Pickford and he's done everything he bloody can to keep them in it.

Steady on, he's no cool hand Luke.

Bones

Whatever happens, he's run and run.

The rugby equivalent of he's tackled his heart out.

This is like watching Wales yesterday

England have Italy beaten for pace but no one is running at them and/or passes being put through to chase

Billy Tell

England are clinging on here. 1-2 and the fat lady will start singing. Italian opera naturally.
