Euro 2020 Final - England vs Italy

Dominant half from England, been well on top from the start and deservedly in front.
Shaw and Trippier been fantastic and getting a lot of joy down both flanks, helped by Italy not marking them. Phillips and Rice have been excellent in midfield and Kane’s movement has been causing problems for Italy’s aging back line.
Positives for Italy is that it’s just 1-0 and as long as it is they are still in it. They did come back Into things a bit in the last 15 minutes there and had some half chances. They will surely get proper chances in the second half.

Ponderous nonsense from Italy. They're going to need a huge break to score here I think, the full backs are dogshit and Chiesa is the only one playing at something approaching the required level.

England have been comfortable, but that's what an early goal does.

Maybe a touch of bias. But overall, as a final this has been fucking pish.

Always is when one side scores early. Why would England bother coming out their shell?

Dangerous game to just defend for 85 minutes, so they'll have to open up for a spell at some point. Seen nothing from Italy so far to suggest they'll take any advantage of that though.

Big chance was the space behind Phillips but nobody getting in there quick enough.

I'd have been encouraged if Italy created even a couple of half chances.

Fucking absolute domination by England. Not even close. Midfield has been bitched.

I blame Marcelo Bielsa for turning Phillips into an excellent ball winner.

As pish as Italy have been the game was starting to suit them better as time went on. However there’s a strong possibility England come out fired up again and don’t give them a minutes peace at the start of the second half.
