If it goes to extra time I totally see us winning it before pens. We have so much class to come on from the bench. Italy looked fucked after the 90 last time and I fancied getting them more than Spain in the end
Me neither, they have a big centre forward which suits our back 2 and they have a slow back 4 which suits our fast forwards. Sterling would have Vertonghen on toast
This Ukraine match could be a tricky one if we don't score early. They will be playing for penalties from the off and won't engage in any football in our half unless they have to.
Could be a frustrating evening.
Going forward we have some excellent young players and I would love to see them play with freedom to express but unfortunately our back line is so vulnerable they need protection.
It's boring but inevitable
