Their game plan does not need to change, their defence is experienced and their attackers are gung ho.

England have grinded results out in this tournament, they have not been easy on the eye at times but got the job done.

Southgate has got them playing for each other and the spirit could not be higher.
This has got 0-0 written all over it, both teams will stay solid at the back and hope to counter

England have the achilles heel in goal, who always always lets the occasion get to him.

If it goes to penalties, England will win, T-rex arms will save 3

So how do you beat a side that is defensively strong and good on the counter when playing at home?
Grind them down, I’d say.

I’m hoping for an early England goal and then a spell of comfortable dominance until the second, killer goal....but I know that isn’t going to happen.

Not long to go until kick-off.....i'm sh1ting myself!

I used to support England but I can´t support a team with fans like yours. The English fans i see in the news makes the mackems look like saints.

....in the last 2 games I've had the feeling Pickford has been close to dropping a bollik.

I think it might happen tonight.

BTW, Sweet Caroline is a Northern Ireland song used for decades. It could be heard in Euro 2016.

Not very original.

...wow great finish that.

Superb goal all round.

Pickford kicking the ball straight out AGAIN!!

Ref’s not up to much, mind.

Over 60% possession to Italy. Surprising. Long way to go in this one.
