Early this morning someone on the radio seemed sure that Trippier was starting.Dropped a message to my contact but nothing just yet. He was out on the lash last night as it was his birthday so is probably still sleeping off a hangover in a bush somewhere.
BBCSo, BBC or ITV?
Word on the street is that it's 3 at the back with Sakka the one making way in midfield.Early this morning someone on the radio seemed sure that Trippier was starting.
I'm sooo ITK.
Beauty of that starting line up is that during the match with 1 single sub - Trippier off for Saka - we can switch to a legit 433Apparently -
Pickford
Trippier
Walker
Maguire
Stones
Shaw
Rice
Phillips
Mount
Sterling
Kane
Very conservative dropping Saka but I can't blame Southgate for going with 5 at the back really. We have the players on the bench to win this late or in extra-time.

Keep it tight until changes - our bench is good so that any changes we make won't necessarily make the team weaker.I should imagine the game plan will be to keep things tight and not give anything away, and the bring on the likes of Saka, Sancho and/or Rashford late on in the game or in extra time when the Italians are hopefully blowing out of their arses a bit, as they were again Spain. Spain couldn't get the job done but we have a better attack than they do, far better in fact. Of course an early goal changes a lot for both sides. I genuinely think the winner will be whoever gets their noses in front first.

If we're ahead or at 0 0 around the 60 minute mark that will be great.
Early goal for Italy cocks it right up.
That would be the worst......Don’t wanna be a goal down to the Italians with twenty mins to go.
The levels of time wasting shithousery would be off the fucking charts.
How do you get uhd?BBC
UHD and also the commentary doesn't make me want to stick knives in my ears
Although I do like Neville as a pundit on ITV as well.
That would be the worst......
Early penalty for Italy would also be the stuff of nightmares a la Champions league final 2019.
Is it to much to ask that we go 3 nil up in the first half and then spend the second half shouting Ole, Ole.....
When the program starts, go onto Iplayer and they do the whole thing in UHD and full 5.1 live.How do you get uhd?
