We lost to the Czech Republic and Denmark in the last 28 games

They've beaten Holland and drew with Portugal and Holland, beaten Poland twice and the Czechs

I reckon they are a decent shout for a good run

Including a team who beat England 2-1 the last time they played them?

They’ve played Moldova twice, Lichtenstein twice, Armenia twice, San Marino twice, Finland twice, Estonia twice. If we beat them we would be all saying well we should be beating them

Being serious, i'm happy enough with a Sonos system, laptop, and BT Sport on my phone.

Genuinely not interested in the Euros though.

This probably isn't the thread for you then.

Italy look a very decent team, but can't read too much into the unbeaten run - not the toughest fixtures you'll see. If it was England everyone would be saying they've proven nothing. One of a number of teams who have a chance though.

Just from the highlights I noticed they looked dangerous when they got forward, but made a lot of poor decisions when they got around the box. Too many players being selfish instead of laying off to someone in a better position. The 3rd goal was well worked though, even if it did come from a cock-up by the Turkey keeper.

man for man I’d say we’re ok, but that’s only part of the story. Mancini as a tactician has the edge on Southgate for sure.

I'd say Italy are stronger in centre mid and central defence, but you are right Mancini has them playing with intensity. We play far too slowly in possession for my liking, and as good as Kane is, he is an issue. With Grealish, Mount and Foden we don't need him to drop into the 10 position, he needs to play as an out and out 9. That in particular will be the difference between a good run or out in the round of 16. We cannot afford to put as many good palls into the box as we did against Austria and no have a striker anywhere near them against top quality teams.

Wales look reasonable value at 3/1 to win today. You’d think they have half a chance with Bale in the side.

Mings, Phillips and Sterling ffs

Agreed! Only thing is, the other CB’s don’t fill me with confidence either.
As for Sterling… if that’s the line-up, I won’t be surprised.

Don't mind that except Mings. If we're sticking with a back 4 I'd go for White but does show how weak we are defensively.

Yes I'd go for White too

Plus Bellingham over Phillips and Grealish or Sancho over Sterling.

Belgium have been on the drift , as short as 4/6 in the week, think they’re a backable price now at 11/10, no De Bruyne or Hazard apparently but they should still have too much

He'll play Sterling. He's in love with him.

I just hope in this competition if he is a burden that he actually gets dropped.

Possibly.

I just hope that as we’ve got 5 subs then if people aren’t performing then he’s quick to change it up.

Looking forward to it now though!!!

Why the fuck is Baku a host city?

And why is there only 10 of each sets of fans?
