Great performance from the Italians and I really enjoyed their slick football .
I could hardly believe it when I saw that old warrior Chiellini in the Italian defence at 36 years of age .
He never put a foot wrong , brilliant defender .

Decent team that Animal and I'd agree with all bar Mings. Coady instead for me
Used to have plenty of decent goalkeepers and now ???
As with ALL England squads since 1966 we have the players to win the tournament.
But unfortunately we haven’t had the management.
And I don’t think we have the management this time.
IMO - Southgate is as limp as a wet dish clart.
I hope I’m wrong.
Nessun Dorma evoked memories of Italia 90. The first major football tournament I ever remember. Although nubdy beats the Pavarotti version I thought Andreas Bocelli was superb on Friday night.
'Time to say goodbye' was my grandfather's funeral song. My grandmother's choice was Rodrigos 'concierto de aranjuez'.
I quite like a bit of classical music. My choice would be Pachelbels Canon in D major.

2 former Reds ☆☆
Two proper left backs in the squad in Chilwell and Shaw and goes with Trippier who normally plays on the right .
Not a fan of the two holding midfielders either .
Good Luck Gareth , a poor display and lose the game and there's some pelters coming your way .
