    Spain’s game much more difficult for England. Maybe the Danes will do the unthinkable

    Great game that really enjoyed it, think if they can get past Denmark then England will have more of a chance v Italy than they would have had v Spain

    Really important lesson for Achtenberg and Alisson to learn on penalties there tonight, Alisson has absolutely incredibly reflexes, he is exceptional at reading players body language and positioning, Achtenberg needs to get him to stop guessing and diving early and just try and save each next penalty reading the players body shape and position as he strikes the ball, you usually always get a couple who are readable and take a poor penalty, absolutely no point in guessing and going early for a player with Alisson's incredible attributes

    Agree with England's chances against Italy (subject to the obvious). Italy look knackered at the end and couldn't deal with the press with no "out" ball and rash keeper. I think we can bully them and keep possession but it won't be a walk in the park.

    Messi, Pedri and Fati won't be for sale. Anyone else will be available at the right price.

    Should have sold Messi when they had the chance but there's a thread for that so I won't prattle on.

    Well done Italy!

    Yeah, but England don't have a good press, don't have CMs that Southgate plays who can play penetrating forward balls to release the wide inside forwards and have the experience and intelligence to keep the ball very well and whilst they do have Kane who can drop off their 2 CBs, receive the ball in midfield and make the play, Southgate doesn't use him like that

    If England beat Denmark and were going into the final playing a 433 with Kane dropping off as he does for Spurs and Hendo at No6 looking to release the inside/wide forwards and Shaw and the 2 inside/wide forwards were Sterling and Sancho who you know will be starting their runs in behind as soon as they see the ball going to Hendo in the space and positions he plays them from, I'd be very confident they could get the win, but that isn't how Southgate will approach it

    I always thought they should have sold messi because of the gigantic contract he has them held to until I heard today that he accounts for almost 75% of their commercial income. Heard it on a radio talk show earlier today. Could that possibly be true?

    What do people think of the format of this competition? Multiple countries/venues that suit some of the teams but not others.
    Look at how many home games England have ended up with.

    Needs to remove the idea from his head that he's a ball playing centre back pretty sharpish mind, he's absolutely woeful, even Fat head Maguire's better at playing attempted long balls from the back than Chiellini
