You know, I'm confident of a win here solely based on Italy's quality here and how bad some of England's players really are. However, part of me can't help but acknowledge how convenient certain aspects of this tournament have been for England and how we might see them repeat during this match. I hate to sound like a stupid conspiracy nut but a successful English national team behind an already financially successful EPL would bring in a lot of revenue for certain governing bodies. If there's any nonsense like that Sterling penalty in this game I'm calling it back to this.
I've also enjoyed my life with the idea that we will never see England lift a major trophy and I want to continue doing so. I do not want to be 80 years old still hearing about the "greatest ever NT side - the 2021 England team" that won the Euro that one time.
