[Football] England v Italy UEFA Euros qualifier 7.45

[BN9 BHA]

The Italian anthem is a hundred times better than ours.

Wow!.... What a poptastic version of the best National Anthem in the world that was!


Absolutely bloody marvellous scenes!

 

[Carlos BC]

Anthem going well

Agree, that was a crock of sh ite

This with bells on.

 

[Sepulveda]

Decent Italian side.

It's woeful. We have some top guys injured (Chiesa among them) and others somehow left home (like Fagioli) in favor of average guys. No idea why Berardi is still starting. Hope to see Gnonto on the pitch tonight. Curious about our mystery Argentinian Retegui.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

It's a pretty tough group compared to some of the others, Portugal's for instance. View attachment 158690

Not overly as top 3 qualify / get into play offs

Plus you can qualify via nations league

We need to get promoted in nation leagues or we will struggle to get to wc

 

[Icy Gull]

I will be watching Kalvin Phillips closely, how many minutes has he played this season?

In truth I am only watching to see Italy as I think De Zerbi might want to bring in Italians…who is a potential signing? Anyone know?

I remember Rome in '97 how much I wanted England to win/get the point that was needed and riding the rollercoaster of Wrighty hitting the post then Vieri putting that header wide, but now, just over 25 years later because of that Palace wrong 'un Southgate, I genuinely hope Italy win this.

Watching it in Spain. A shame it's the same old players as usual. A lot of whom are in teams struggling in the Premier league or they aren't necessarily playing g regularly for their clubs. It's a new qualification starting, it was a perfect opportunity for Southgate to do a bit of a rebuild but no he took the easy option and stuck with the same old same old.

He's a complete idiot.

We have a couple of decent young CBs and he's gone for Maguire, build for the future.

I’m watching it in Germany if anyone is interested. Who the hell cares where you are LOL

 

[Change at Barnham]

Kalvin Phillips looks like he hasn't played for ages. Oh.....

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

How bizarre.

Bizarre? Nope lots of England fans don't like that imposter. And many more Brighton for obvious reasons. I think it's bizarre that anyone would question that.

 

[Solid at the back]

How bizarre.

Hardly. Southgate is a disgrace and should be long gone by now

 

[The Wizard]

Bellingham is the best English player we’ve seen in a long, long time.

Phillips has hardly played for his club a d Rice got roasted at the Amex a couple of weeks ago

 

[Eeyore]

That was coming.

 

[Zeberdi]

Nice one Dec - Good start from England - was great attempt by Bellingham earlier too.

 

[Carlos BC]

1-0 up. Never in doubt (-:
