Is there only me that wants a draw? I'm half Italian and can't stand any of them losing. 1-1 will suit me.

Sorry Woppy but as an England fan I just want an opponent like Italy out of the competition as early as possible.

I remember 1966 and everything since and believe me, this is the best squad England have ever had. Unfortunately it has been grossly mismanaged by a hopeless dinosaur yes man. We should of won the 2018 World Cup and considering we had home advantage, we should of won the euros. Southgate needs sacking, and the sooner the better. Can't shout for anyone tonight....so I want a draw.

Southgate is Evatt………🤔
Have to ask? Is Dion really that bad that he can’t upstage Magennis?? Why is he never a starter for Ni?? They get beat every game and like us, don’t score enough goals so surely Dion has to start?

They get beat every game and like us, don’t score enough goals so surely Dion has to start? Managers obviously see things differently to us rioch. As you say Dion is surely better to start than Magennis but obviously their manager sees it differently and he’s the one who carries the can if it goes wrong. Anyway, on more important matters, what a fantastic performance by England tonight a true master class in how to play out from the back properly. Of course when you’ve got players like Foden, Rice and Bellingham to pick the ball up and go forward with it it could help? I think England proved tonight that the system only works when you have the quality of players to deliver it and we certainly don’t so Evatt should see that and accept it. For the first time I really think this teams the real deal and could finally bring home a trophy. I thought Italy were top class opposition but completely outplayed all over the pitch and other than an early defensive lapse leading to their goal they just couldn’t find a way through. Full marks to Uncle Gareth tonight, he gets some stick bless him but fair play that was tactically and mentally excellent and spot on.

Its such a great strike force we have but can't see us doing great things with that back 5.
I don't think Pickford is elite. Stones and Maguire not good enough and no one looks like they're coming through. RB were covered but don't think James or Trent can compare with an aging Walker.

How long can we rely on the likes of Maguire, Trippier and Stones, although to be fair to them they did well last night and I really rate Pickford actually. Attacking wise we look top notch although the Euros will probably be the last major tournament we can expect from Kane and other than Bellingham I’m not sure we’ve much else to partner him. Midfield and wide areas look our strongest positions going forward but following last nights superb performance I genuinely believe we can win the Euros this year because I don’t see a better team around at the moment.
