Re: Euro 2012
So my prediction of Draw, Lose then Win was not far wrong.

Re: Euro 2012
Your priority is to win the group and play solidly . England are never going to pass any team off the pitch in any competition .
The Italians will want to choke the game up and slow it down , they're not too adventurous either so we've got play the game with pace and move the ball quicker and more decisively .
Getting behind teams is paramount for England because we know we have players that can deliver good crosses and players that can meet them.
Teams are shit scared of balls whipped in at pace on a counter attack , it's something not many of them face on a weekly basis .
England will not fear the Italians

I like the way Hodsgon sets the tactics and then picks the best team to execute those. IE Carroll starting against the Swedes because they concede headers like they enjoy it. It pays off too.

Re: Euro 2012
But considering that the Azzure also play a strong defence and attack on the break, rather similar tactics to ours, the 1/4 final could either be one of the better, more exciting games to watch or could have stodgy written right through it.

I think it could go to penalties. Hope Roy's luck holds.

Re: Euro 2012
Steven Gerrard v Andrea Pirlo.......... that is unmissable. 
Oh, and Sepp Blatter has been soapboxing again.......
"After last night's match, goal line technology is no longer an alternative but a necessity".
'Nurse! Nurse! Quickly please - a sick bag for The Dean.........!!!'
