They did the same in the 1970 final.

Think VAR would have ruled it out anyway if he'd put it in.

The quality of Serie A outside of the top teams has been poor for a long time now.

Italy not even going for it.

Like watching us against Iceland. No idea at all.

Yes very much so, basically and openly saying other than the ‘keeper they’re all shit.

The Swiss possession retention and build in their own half before they even started that last attack was impressive.

Would you switch places with Italy?

what I mean by that is win euro 2020 but not qualify for world cups and be shite the rest of the time since 2018. Obviously not historically as they piss all over us

This has been more one sided than when Scotland won by a 'walkover' in a qualifier a few years ago!
Who was it that never turned up?

I don’t think the majority of Italians would want to swap places with England.

I’m just talking about 2018 onwards. No world cups, shit euros but a win in 2020.

I think I’d still swap because I’m desperate to see us win something but they must be furious looking from the outside in so much.

Mostly one and two touch stuff. They’re an impressive team and if we win tomorrow, no way should we be taking it for granted. Drew against Germany already, strolled past Italy and I’d forgotten they knocked out France at last euros. They’re no mugs

Not really. There just isn’t a genuine level of expectation there. The Euros win was a bit of a shock.

There must be an expectation to qualify for the World Cup

Can't tell if Switzerland are good or Italy are just really really bad

Bit of both probably. The Swiss look organised and have a decent threat going forward. Will be a tough test if we see our way past Slovakia

I meant winning tournaments but not qualify for tournaments is generally seen as a disgrace. Obviously the pundits/commentators were beyond scathing about today.

Anything below semi final, probably final with how poor the Dutch look, is now and outright sackable offence if he doesn’t walk.

I think quite a few are getting ahead of themselves. The so called big nations are being beaten or drawing against ‘lesser’ teams all the time. The fact is many of the lesser nations, while maybe not as good man for man, are actually better teams and not just a bunch of individuals who’ve played a ridiculous number of top level games over the season

They’re already beaten Belgium, who we all know have flattered to deceive but still got some top top players

I know you will know more than me but this must be the sort of shit that infuriates the Scots. They stick BBC on to watch Italy Switzerland and they just get ambushed by overconfident arrogant Englishness.

It would make more sense if we could actually win something.

Comments like Rio’s are enough for Scots to assume that’s what we all think. Especially when England haven’t played acceptably, never mind well, in any of their games.

Slovakia should simply set in front of the ball and wait for us to give the ball away for a counter.

Was it that bad really? He's not wrong we 'should' be beating them and did say we can't take things for granted.

Obviously it's gone tits up in the pass... Iceland anyone

Nobody in the England camp will be saying anything other than respectful things about Slovakia but I'm sure they all know this is a huge opportunity to reach the semis or even the final

The line of ‘if I was an England player I’d struggle to sleep with how easy this draw is’?

Yeah true that is bit lame but can't really expect more from a bloke that is wearing shades on a live pundit panel.

The rest were fairly respectful and Gareth has been, pointing out key threats that we will face
