Everything the pundits just criticised Italy for could be levelled at England. If we do meet Switzerland we've got to do more otherwise the result will be the same as this.

Yes need a performance tomorrow to give them some positivity going into the Switz game

This tournament is very open. Only spain out of the usual teams have looked good.

The not so usually good sides such as the swiss and austria are looking the best teams so far

Italy never had a chance. Been poor for so long

If A < B, and A ≈ C, then C < B?

Brave of the BBC to assume that England can overcome Slovakia.

Completely deliberate, setting them up for a fall so they can get all analytical about it

Shame about how poor Italy were. I don't think modern football suits them. Growing up they were the masters of going up 1-0 and sticking 10 men behind the ball. They were excellent at the dark arts of football too, and had some ridiculously talented forwards.

Now football rules favour attackers Italy haven't adapted. It's so hard to be defensively minded and be successful.

I loved watching Italian football in the 90s, it was such a better standard than English football. Nearly every player was technically gifted.
