England vs Italy

[HawkeyeMS]

So what's it gonna be folks? Another quarter final defeat following an abject display or something out of the blue and altogether more inspiring.

Having seen England so far looking much like Fulham under Hodgson I'm expecting the former but every now and then, Fulham would break ranks and put on a bit of a show when it was least expected - maybe England will do the same?

 

[Neddy]

Think our inability to keep the ball will be punished tonight and Italy will sneak it but England can be relatively pleased with a QF appearance this time around.

 

[Imurg]

2-2 with, typically, England losing the shoot-out...

So whats it gonna be ?
18 holes on a dead quiet course , then back to work tomorrow,
Hope they win then i can get more golf in with the course to myself !

England win by the odd goal in 3

 

[Rooter]

I walked past a bookies earlier offering 35-1 on an England win by 3-1... I was actually tempted! I. Reckon we will win it with a bit of luck. Gonna predict a balotelli "blow up", well let's be honest, it's either him or Rooney! England to win in 90 minutes, 2-1.

 

[Tiger]

Tight affair won by a single goal scored by either Balotelli or Rooney. Whatever the result I think the team have done well

 

[FairwayDodger]

Close game tonight, probably Italy to win but could see England sneaking it.

Winner to get humped by Germany in the semi.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Difficult to see past the Germans but I also hope England will win tonight. Italy are not the force they used to be.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

A typically tenses affair with perhaps a win either way 1-0 or by the odd goal in three. I'd rather go out 2 or 3 nil playing with purpose though rather than lose it in extra time or penalties. Heart says England - head says not

I think we'll see the first game of the Euro's go to extra time tonight and possibly penalties. We have a very similar setup to Italy and our style of football is almost a carbon copy. For me, the way to beat them is to pack out the midfield, control the middle of the park and keep the ball moving. It's going to be a difficult game and probably incredibly boring as well but I have a good feeling about the outcome, be it after 90 minutes, extra time or penalties.

Unfortunately, we'll get spanked by Ze Germans if we get to the Semi's.

Hey Tiger, looks like we agree for once!

It will be great if they win but I think it's fair to say England managed by Roy Hodgson have done well to get as far as they have.

Have to admit I was wrong about Hodgson and think he has been spot on so far.

:thup:

to go to extra time.....then owt can happen

 

[palindromicbob]

Excellent match so far.

 

[CMAC]

forgot it was on, turned over to see Rooney trying the overhead in extra time- that would have been fairytale stuff.
looking forward to a good extra time

 

[CliveW]

I can't believe how biassed the commentary on the BBC is!

 

[Qwerty]

Im getting sick of listening to Lawrenson and the other crap commentator drooling over the Italians and slating England.
Ok England havn't played well but I just dont want to hear It!

 

[palindromicbob]

Rooney misses????

Not a hope.

 

[munro007]

OMG Italy won.........
