Some.good play by Italy there. :(
Belotti’s own teammates howling at him after he failed to run back to put himself onside 8 minutes after coming off the bench was illustrative.
Yep. With Chiesa and Insigne out, it’s hard to see where the creativity is going to come from, for this Italian side.
It appears England may be relieved to get to kicks and take their chances on Pickford, with Kane, Sterling, Henderson, Grealish et al.
15 minutes to penalty kicks. Seems like it will need something completely random to decide this.
I would not feel confident about a PK contest if I were England. Pickford has been brilliant today, but I’d rather have Donnaruma in goal for such a contest than Pickford.
Don’t think it was Southgate’s strategy to sit that far back. Fear of losing overcame their desire to win I think.
England far more in it in the 1st period of extra time. Saka has been very disappointing
Italy less dominant in part 3 than in part 2, England seem to be getting back in it.
15 minutes.
It’s so close.
I suspect of either team gets a goal that will be it.
A touch too far for a shot??
Happy Monday’s makes the save
Belotti… absolutely awful
Does Henderson have a fiver on Italy?
Italy inviting England to win this at the end of extra time.
He has looked very unfit, but almost got sterling in with that pass. Still, I think that was a bad sub to bring on for Southgate
Nope. They’re out of energy now. Also, Belotti is playing like half a player.
Grealish will make a miraculous recovery here
That seemed totally inadvertent and accidental
Southgate should have brought Grealish on for Mount in the second half. England would have gotten the momentum back sooner.
