[Football] England v Italy UEFA Euros qualifier 7.45

[ManOfSussex]

In a far easier set of fixtures.

True. Game on in Naples now though.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

The expected Maguire moment

 

[vegster]

Got done like a Kipper there 1-2

 

[Icy Gull]

In all seriousness, Italy are shite.

However, they have just scored.

In all seriousness both teams would probably get a stuffing from the Albion

Both midfields would struggle against ours

 

[Mackenzie]

Very simple goal for Italy there, good finish but very poor defending.

italian crowd have woken up.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

In all seriousness, Italy are shite.

However, they have just scored.

Maguire mistake too.

Dunky must be wondering what the f*** he needs to do.

 

[Swansman]

I wondered that but is the fact that he is so completely removed from the accepted Italian way of playing going to go against him for the Italian job? He doesn’t seem overly popular with a lot of the Grandees of Italian football.

The "Italian way of playing football" is dying a slow, painful death unless its already dead. Mancini is more Zerbi than catenaccio.

 

[peterward]

Maguire

Bloody slabhead, hospital pass, lunging tackle nowhere near ball and Italy score.

Hes a total liability. This is squarely on Southgate for persisting with someone hopelessly out of form when many other decent options are available.

 

[A1X]

Like that their physio wears a suit

 

[ozzygull]

The expected Maguire moment

Apparently he is better the Dunk

 

[Guinness Boy]

Southgate will probably try to hang on to the lead and that will probably be a mistake

 

[Guinness Boy]

Like that their physio wears a suit

Very Italian

 

[Questions]

I’ve travelled extensively in Italy but for some reason have missed out on Naples. I wouldn’t fancy it tonight though.

 

[Swansman]

Another goal for either team would be nice for my drug consump... eh, economy.

 

[papachris]

Like that their physio wears a suit

Not just any old suit! Italian designer label I should think. Southgate looks s bit scruffy compared to Mancini impeccable dress sense

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Southgate's time to shine.

Or just sit on his hands like usual.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Grealish has been appalling

 

[Icy Gull]

Grealish reverting to his Aston Villa cheating level

 

[timbha]

Grealish, Saka, Bellingham gone missing. Need to get hold of the ball

 

[Icy Gull]

Anyone else feel like shouting at Pickford when he just aimlessly hoofs the ball?
