    Team Choices v Italy

    2 changes for me.
    Gealish for Saka but play him on the left.
    Henderson for Rice, he was very poor v Denmark.
    Or will Beaky pick the same team?
    I smell a penalty drama!!

    I can’t see Jack starting mate, I think that manure’s new superstar is more likely to start.

    Will Southgate’s luck hold out against Italy? I hope so. Not sure that it’ll bury my ghosts of traveling to 82, 86, 88, 90 & 92, but it will certainly dig the hole for them.

    C’mon Eng-er-land!!!

    I know im hoping but England definately looked more of a threatwhen Jack came on and Sterling switching to the right!

    Sterling looks a far better option playing on the right and his pace will trouble their centre halves - first team to score will win the game I think, Italy will park the bus, dive, niggle, frustrate whereas if England score first then sooner or later the Italians have to to commit & leave themselves open on the counter.

    I thought Kane was excellent against the Danes.

    I expect him to pick the same team as against the Danes, mind you Im not saying he is right , Jack on with 20 to go to get him out of the s***, if there is one thing thats certain, Beaky, above all others will be looking to avoid penalties. Please please no villa player taking one, we shouldnt have to take the blame a second time. Bring it home please, Im running out of years to see it!

    Southgate talks about tactics, Jack can be his secret weapon. The master of drawing fouls, he will get them, Shaw wipping them in or even a penalty? He may spring a surprise, even the Italians are calling Jack a brilliant sub......what would they think if he started??
    Im going 1-0 to England, it will be no classic!

    I think he'll keep the same starting line up as the Denmark game ( unfortunately ), and I can see it being a bit of a drab game until he decides to send Jack on. Jack will dance into the box where he is upended. Kane to go back to sending his penalty kicks into the top left corner

    1-0 England

    Yes it would appear that way but why not go for for throat, get a lead and hold on to it. On 75 mins whike 1-0 up, Jack is replaced by Mings, we hold on to create history and two of this players play for us!!! Im such a dreamer 🤣🤣🤣🤞
