I can’t see anyone beating Italy and they seem to be getting stronger like they did in 1982

I’m cheering for you guys now!
I will from Saturday 10pm onwards
edit : Friday 20pmI will from Saturday 10pm onwards
You’re obsessed.
If we go out tomorrow Southgate has to Go! Unless he is coming to Spurs then he can fucking stay!
But in all seriousness this is the first real test of the tournament , i hate the football we play, its boring but who ever wins tomorrow surely has to be favourite for making the final, if Southgate can manage that then i will admit i was wrong! I still think our tournament ends tomorrow though, us playing Germany is like Spurs Playing Liverpool! We rarely fucking win!

We can do this German team and I'm confident that we will.
Don't care if it's entertaining, just want us to win. Kane will score and our bench will help us win.
2-1 to England.

history is definitely against us, but on paper we are just as good as them if not better.
If the Scotland game was too big for these players I’ve got serious doubts about how we will handle the pressure
if ever there was a moment for Kane to show his best and prove he can do it in a huge game it’s now.

Few things from me regarding England and why I will be so disappointed if we don't win tomorrow
- The players in this squad are getting praised and bigged up massively, which for me means they need to perform. This isn't a 'potential tournament'.
- We undoubtedly have a massive advantage with pretty much all our games being played at Wembley. I don't quite know how we managed to wangle that to be honest with you.
- If we thought the 2018 World Cup draw was favourable, this draw (with home advantage) and route is a massive plus.
I also hate this hype of suddenly expecting to pull a world class performance out the bag against the Germans when I don't think we have played that well for a long time. How easy is it to switch from playing very conservatively/defensive to being able to produce a more attacking performance.
Would love to see us win tomorrow.

If we lose to this average German side then Southgate should be sacked. They're really not that great.
As good a place as any.

I still haven't got over 1990.
Or 1996
Or 1998
Or 2004
Or 2006
Or 2012
6 tournaments.... Nearly in a row going out in the worst possible way on penalties ....... All games we arguably should have won in normal time....... It's like a curse or something.
Its incredible and I doubt any other country has had that much heartbreak.

We always fail when we face a big side. I’m really not getting my hopes up. I just don’t think Southgate is smart enough to get us through the game.
We need to be out of sight in 80mins.....
