World class players are attracted to England because of money to add glamour to the premiership. England as a country has not done well at the international level. Reaching the finals of a major tournament since 1966 is a poor record for a country that is overrated as the home of football.

The only way England will stand a chance against Italy is if they bench Kane and adopt a false 9. Luis Enrique, the Spain coach said Italy have a way of neutralizing strikers that why he adopted the false 9 to push an extra man in the midfield to make them less predictable.

We've seen how Italy have successfully neutralized all CF of the teams they've played so far, making them look like they play with 10 men. If England bench Kane and play Henderson and have mount play the false 9 role, they will be able to compete against verrati, barella and Jorginho like Spain did.

In my opinion, I see the trophy going to Rome because Italy play with more of their brains than pace
Remember Spain doesn't have a top 9 as clinical as Kane. After Lewy the next mad European striker you will get will be kane

The key will be the fitness of the pair of Italian full backs. Their form and experience is without question, their fitness.....

Soccer is the reason why we have gambling shops every where. It's haram in Islam and the Bible also frowns at gambling. Football should be banned

I somehow supported England against Denmark but the way they won that match yesterday was a big shame. How can you award that a penalty even with VAR?! UEFA are scammers.

You are analysing Italy games in this competition as though none else watch them throughout.

They are good, no doubt, but not invincible as you are painting them. If they are that good, why did Spain play them to ET and penalties?

I have been watching almost all matches all along during this competition. And I can say with all certainty that England is more flexible, have more skilful players and better than Italy, and will carry the Euro 2020 cup. And if you are planning to bet Italy, think twice before wasting your money.

Don't tell me u honestly believe this current English team are full of brainless pace merchants. You just ruined your entire post with that claim.

As for neutralizing Harry Kane, that won't be easy as u think. If u watched yesterday match, you notice Kane's positioning wasn't static. He dropped deep so many times, and was able to creating space for sterling n Saka to come from behind the defenders, and which was how the second goal came about.

You seriously underestimate Kane and this English team.

Don't change that child's destiny, let him naturally follow his God given path.. Behind the wealth of those footballers lies much more wealthy men who are not footballers, eg Abramovich, Glazers, Perez, Sheikhs of City and Paris, and many more too numerous to mention. Without these wealthy people footballers will earn very little...
My point is, you and I can be the wealthy men or women behind up and coming footballers... May God help us all...
As a neutral Football fan, I go for England and Messi of Argentina for the upcoming finals in Euro and Copa America, they have suffered for long.

in terms of team contribution for a striker, I rate lukaku over Kane as he brings something way more for the team.

A striker is not a midfielder, no matter how much they drop deep to help, they don't possess that natural midfielder instinct an attacking midfielder or a midfielder brings. Spain has ball playing midfielders like Italy England and Belgium don't have that. England will rather rely on wing play to unlock Italy rather than from the middle.

Since the advent of VAR, referees have decided to award players for Diving instead of punishment. I wanted England to win but not by cheating. All through the second half and extra time, Kane and Sterling were just diving from the slightest of touches. So disappointing
