I think it will be Italy vs. England in the final. England will have home field advantage so they are the favourites. It could be a game for the ages. Wembley will be rocking. If it is Italy England expect a tight cagey game and not an end to end excitement packed game. Southgate has exciting attacking talent but he has they playing hard to beat tight football. English defence isn’t that great and in the past when we have tried to play an open game against top tier teams we either get taken apart or cannot control a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally a fan of South American football myself rather see open attacking play and Latin flair vs European master tactics and defensive shape myself. Could obviously do without the fouling and over the top diving prevalent on Latin teams though. As a Bazil fan I can clearly see why South America struggles so much against European competition. European nations generally have much more depth and play much a more sound 2 way game which you need to win in any major tournament play. A handful of attacking talent is not enough when you struggle for quality in midfield and with your defenders. Something more needs to be done or else the World Cup will continue to remain a realistic goal for only Europe while the rest of the world stays spectators.

Spain-Italy, interesting matchup for sure. Can seeing going to penalties at best but a win for Italy regardless. Don't see Spain winning if they have to rely on Alvaro Morata who imo is overrated as a top striker option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Realistically Ukraine were always unlikely to win, but that's a poor result. Denmark definitely have what it takes to put them in their place. The arrogance has been off the charts in the last few days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Twitter can be toxic and all but the Man Utd Twitter mob was something I've never seen. Ignorant, arrogant, oblivious, presumptuous are the nicer words I can find for that lot. I wish Jadon all the best, he's been a heck of a player for us and he's grown a lot as a person. At the same time I can honestly say I've found a new club to hate and wish all the worst to Man Utd. As far as replacements go it seems we are in for Donyell Malen and / or Noni Madueke from PSV. Malen would fit the Rose scheme of two strikers and is not a direct replacement for Sancho. Madueke would be more of a winger/dribbler type like Sancho. On the other hand we still have Reyna and Knauff on the wings who I expect to step up their game this year. Malen would be a great signing for you guys. He's one I was sad to see leave Arsenal, along with Gnabry and Amaechi. The latter, however, kind of lost his way, though.

If you can listen to the 5live radio coverage the commentary is usually pretty good and when you think of memorable commentary 9/10 it was the clip from the radio. don’t get me wrong watching the game is great but radio commentary is usually where it’s at. Good thing we have the option of the radio commentary from 5live when the BBC show the game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good feeling about them winning it all We have yet to go behind, so until we have seen how they are when they are chasing a game I would be cautious in calling the championship for them. if England get past Denmark they will be tested by the Italians or Spanish, Italy because they are far more clinical in front of goal than Germany were, and Germany should have scored. With Spain they have been wasteful and found it difficult to break teams down who sit back and let them play in front, but concentration levels need to be high otherwise all it take is one I’ll disciplined chase of a player to create a positional gap they will exploit. England would not have control of possession to out play the Spanish as we are technically good enough so it would be interesting to see how we would set up against them. They are not the same team we beat in the nations league Edited July 4, 2021 by UKNuck96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
