      Italy look AB-esque. Reckon they will go far in this tournament.

      So, smashed in a semi with their heads in the clouds.

      Italy do very well when they are more Bok-esque.

      I’ll dedicate my prediction to rapido. Can’t beat 10 man soccer (with a goalie for good measure), big forwards and a 10 who prefers kicking than running with the ball.

        Classic England:

        • home advantage
        • score after 2 minutes
        • do barely enough for the next 118 minutes
        • get an early advantage in the shoot-out
        • showboat like a clown
        • miss three out of five penalties

        Hopefully no rioting in London tonight...

                    I feel sorry for Southgate. He must hate penalty shootouts.

                    I think he should have subbed Kane who had no influence whatsoever over 120 minutes

                          Italia 1990. Was on a train from Bonn to Zurich listening to England /Germany on BBC World Service. German colleagues were incredibly gracious to my English workmates and got them well-pissed the following night.

                                  You would think being paid millions to kick a ball that you could confidently hit the top corner 99% of the time, yet they usually go for the easier option.

                                  Feel bad for the players who missed however regardless.

                                    I don't get the dislike for penalties. It's excellent drama.
