That's not a free kick!

Think Italy needed the first goal. England have such pace on the counter. Dont see Italy scoring unless they get a pen.

Sterling has been dog dirt all game at both ends of the pitch. 

Sterling has been w**k. Just going down every single time and losing possession.

A diver does what a diver does

On the other hand Rice has been fantastic. 

Rice has got the Messi touch but Cahill pace

Barrella and Immobile out for a good reason, totally dominated by Rice and Stones.

He has but he'll probably pop with a goal tbf

England are sitting back too much now. Looking like nerves are setting in.

If England sh*t the bed from here, it'll 100% be a Stones f**k up. Bloke looks like he is hanging on for grim life in the last minute already and there is half an hour to go.

The early goal made the game look like that for some 10-15 minutes, I doubt England would be that much sitting back like that if not for the early goal. Part from the goal in the second minute England didn't do much either and Spain had the same problem despite having superior passers so it's really not about Jorginho but about how the game is played.

Of course, this is only possible because of the early goal. Basically this means that the onus is now entirely on the Italy midfield to create something imaginative which they are not particularly great at. But they have some good individual players so lets see...

f**king coming wasnt it

ffs

1-1 Terrible defending at the corner there. 

It was coming, defenders have been sh*tting themselves for the past 10 minutes.

Mount will be off for Grealish soon then.

Needs to be a defender off an attacker on. England can't keep the ball with 3 at the back just punting the ball long.

Not convinced Saka is the guy btw. Sancho or Grealish for me. Mount will be more involved now either way.

Well there you go. I was wrong 

Emerson is surprisingly good 

Our confidence is so fragile! Gone to absolute sh*te the last 20 minutes!

jesus christ

Italy has the momentum now, for me the early goal didn't do England any favors but that's just me.

Henderson really?
