    Why do you say that? I've been much more entertained watching England.

    Just my opinion. But I make no claims to being an expert. I like their rapid counterattacking.

      I might be a bit more of an expert I guess.

      I like the way England kicky round thingy runny.

        Phil Foden a doubt for tomorrow's big game. I think Southgate might start with Grealish, go for the early goal and hope the noisy crowd becomes the 12th man for England.

        I feel there is a gaping home in this analysis. Neither have been in recent starting 11s, so who is dropping out of the 11 for Grealish?

          @Rapido Foden was starting games at the beginning of the tournament. Grealish started against the Czech Republic and played a prominent role off the bench against Germany.

          Finals are time for leaders. Henderson and Grealish (both club captains) in the starting line-up. Rice and Saka can sit on the bench.

          Pickford, Shaw, Stones, Maguire, Walker, Phillips, Mount, Henderson, Sterling, Grealish, Kane

                Yep, Southgate and Co. staying about 1 km from the Sparky cave. Could be a noisy night if they win.

                          I'm not a a huge football fan but normally follow England in the major tournaments. I haven't watched any games in the Euros and, surprise, surprise, England are in the finals.

                          I was at Cardiff in 2007 for the RWC Quarter Final against France so the Curse of the Meldrews exists and is real. Therefore I will not be watching the Final tonight in the hope England will win the thing....

                            I'm picking 4-1 England. 3-1 halftime.

                            Pretty happy with picking Shaw as *my" player early on in the tourney too.

                                Hang on, it was me that pointed out shaws amazing attacking qualities. At least that’s how I recall it not a word of a lie.

                                        Odd sort of game now. Italy seeing a lot of the ball, but creating very little and not testing the England defence terribly much. Their best chances have come from England errors.

                                        Still 1-0.
