I didn't expect the Italians to be as bad as England. Grinding with almost the same approach.
What an awful QF game it would be between the 2020 finalists.
That's been coming. Switzerland by far the better team.
This Swiss team will batter England for sitting back... Effective tactics
Just you watch, England will make the exact same mistake tomorrow against Slovakia..
Italy resorting to cheating, wonder where we've seen this before

2-0 straight from kickoff .
Poor passing like England. Great goal too top corner
Italy are done they're not scoring 3 today...
As I said, if England make it past Slovakia they won't beat this swiss team,it's too aggressive.
They play exactly how England SHOULD be playing given our strength up front.

Lovely finish, Swiss in dreamland, thoroughly deserved
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.

If we had a manager this cup was ours ..it couldn't be any easier at the moment ..but we don't so bollocks to it !
Shaw injured and still not playing tomorrow confirmed so that means more of trippier who quite frankly I wouldn't want playing for Wednesday.

Germany have started strong against Denmark. A goal ruled out already and attacking football.

Game stoped for lighting ..gay !!!
Game suspended ..this will favour Denmark and most of all whoever awaits them in the quarters. Germany won't be happy with this ! Kroos was beginning to take control of the game .

Germany 2-0 up and pretty comfortable now.
We know what's coming tomorrow.

Penalty was sketchy I must say, it was a harsh handball call, no surprise the host nation were given the benefit.
It's the offside called in Denmark which is really dodgy. The released VAR image shows the Danish player offside by a toe
How does that give clear advantage? Maybe he just has big feet.
It looked tight last night but the images reinforce what I've said previously..
VAR will arbitrarily decide what is offside for one team but let it go for others. This is cheating..
Tournaments are already bad enough. However, the influencing is now ridiculously visible. Talk about being spoon fed corruption.
I should also add that last night's display of incompetence/corruption came from the English Prem League delegation...

No surprise, Gareth's lineup and formation is pretty much as expected.
He thinks starting Mainoo solves everything whilst leaving Bellingham and Saka to pass sideways to each other.
