    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....

      what's the money on that being the only goal

      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.

                  Italy started out of sorts but beginning to dominate possession.

                    Eight out from half time, Italy the better side at the moment. Score still 1-0.

                        Italy have shifted their formation to match England's. Seen more of the ball but not really threatened Pickford's goal.

                                Someone has to have a go from the edge of the box to draw the Italian defenders out

                                  I find it hard to think my England can cling to a 1-0 lead with most of the game played in their half. Will be interesting to see southgates 2nd half tactics.

                                    Looking a little more ominous though. England have to maintain their attacking footing, this could be a long half

                                      Does football have rules about delaying tactics: 30s for a throw in, goalie taking forever etc?

                                        Yes but they are quite generous to the team in possession.
