England vs Italy (Group D) Saturday 14th June 2014

[Lo Siento.]

Not really.
Just have not heard one mention of his name since the squad selection

Ah k, the news is that he's still reserve right-back and reserve centre half, despite not being the next best player in either position.

Like only one other person in this thread, I'm going to take a wild-odds punt : 2-1 to England.

But I'm not even attempting to guess at who the goalscorers might be in such a ridiculously unlikely scenario

A header from a centre half, and a wonderful winner by Sterling off the bench.

I got 11/1 from Bet365 , bunged a quid on

 

[Maltin]

Sadly, I think this one is going to finish 0-0.

From an England fan perspective I am happy with a 0-0 draw although sadly it might be a dull game.

 

[YouSir]

1-0 to England is my guess and agree on the dull game part.

Last time we drew 0-0 with Italy it got us to the World Cup!

Um... that's relevant. Somehow.

 

[Badgers]

Italy conceded nine goals in qualifying, including two at home to Armenia
More than any European group winner besides Germany

I've heard he's got one of them there internets

 

[Badgers]

One sided historical stats reassure me

[purves grundy]

On too late here for me to watch (4am) and can't just get up and watch it through bleary eyes as I haven't got a telly so have to go out to a hotel or something... so it'll defo be an ill-tempered, ultimately dreary 0-0, with a sending off.

 

[binka]

italy have won once since September and that was against fluminense! don't see italy winning this game, would like to think england can win it but at the moment im leaning towards a draw

 

[Corax]

Cagey opening ten minutes.

Then Balotelli to hit Pirlo with a plastic folding chair and switch sides. England 15-0

 

[deadringer]

England to go ahead with an early goal. Excitement builds until Italy equalise after the break, second half dull as fuck.

 

[tommers]

England 6 Italy 0

Sterling scores 5. Henderson 30 yard dipping volley in the 90th minute to round it off.

 

[Badgers]

ROY ON THE TELLY!!!

 

[JTG]

England only stand a chance if Rickie starts

Lord Rik as he will soon be known

Lord Rik as he will soon be known

We loved him first

 

[Onket]

Rovers reject.

 

[Badgers]

I got a flag today

 

[Balbi]

G Man conga in the pub tomorrow

 

[Badgers]

Gonna have a Subway Low Fat Chicken Teriyaki tomorrow. Seen that is the choice of Daniel Sturridge so it might be an omen?

 

[Supine]

2:1 to Italy. A scrappy game with some real poor passing from England. Italy get a penalty, when Rooney rushes back to help and catches an Italian ankle in the box.

 

[xenon]

1 - 1.

 

[JTG]

If Rickie plays, 4-0 to England, every one a screamer from the greatest living human being.

If he doesn't, meh, who cares?

I really have no idea on this one, but I'll be watching it in a Berlin street so it'll be interesting to see if there's any love for England.

How will you measure the level of love?
