england - italy

I wonder how many people bet italy can win this game?

i bet england will win this game, italy has good defense and a good offense, but england's style of play will make it win against italy. despite the fact that in the games of england against italy, there were more draws, maybe in this game it will end in a draw and they will have to go to the penalties

I will go for the opposite result my friend and I will be among the ones that will bet for Italy's win.
England has the upper hand, their anticipation and psychology are in its pick and they play on Wembley but on the other hand, is one game. A final with Italy. Can't say that's an easy game.
Plus that both had difficult semifinals and needed to play more than 90' minutes. At least we will see a very interesting game and I'm hoping for an early goal...

Am going for an Italy win because I know England will lose thir focus after being spoon fed with a penalty yesterday which will be repaid with a lose.

i bet england will win this game, italy has good defense and a good offense, but england's style of play will make it win against italy. despite the fact that in the games of england against italy, there were more draws, maybe in this game it will end in a draw and they will have to go to the penalties

The fact that you have acknowledged Italys attributes tells me these guys are good enough to be crowned champions and talking of penalties...should the game come to this as the decider its anybodies game and I still feel Italy will win it.

That 55 years of being trophyless will continue for England.

Yeah! This match will be a heated battle between two close teams. This should make for an excellent match with lots of goals and entertainment in the stands. England fans will not want to miss this one. It should be a great party at Wembley Stadium.

From my opinion, I think that Italy has an edge in their recent performances. But, it will be a close match.

I will bet on italy in the match with england even though we know this is the first time england have made it to the finals this year and meet italy, a little impressive

I also believe England will definitely have the ball more than Italy but Italy can count on the counter-attacks so fast and the defense better this will be a balanced game and it's hard to decide maybe the result will be small but it could be extra time like in the semifinals

What happens if England win? wow as the host this would be a great win.

A lot of things have been said about the penalty yesterday, I have to agree with the most saying it wasn't one. I looked at it again a few times this morning, the contact is there but it is minimal.
The referee gave it immediately and I knew that VAR would not overturn it but it was a mistake not telling him he needs to see for himself.

England was much better and deserved to go through to the final though - but it will be hard to take for the Danes.

The softest one I have seen in this tournament for sure. England was my pick anyway but they couldn't win it in extra time so they still screwed me as did Italy haha. Oh well.

But they were still slightly better I would say and you cannot say either finalist doesn't deserve being there.. though the same could have been said of Denmark and Spain.

Just praying Italy go back to attack in final. And Southgate too. I know he won't though. Not after coming so far.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It is as expected and an ideal final match.
From 4 teams in the final stage, England and Italy are two teams that deserve to reach the final. They can perform well and consistently during UEFA EURO 2020. Based on this matter, they are the best teams to play in the final match.

For England, I can say that they absolutely deserved it. Italy also deserved of course but Spain were better in the first 90 minutes I believe. But Italy still managed to move them out of their way which shows how much they are decisive.

As the game is going to be played in Wembley again, I see England one step ahead. They're going to have a huge spectator advantage. Let's see if Italy will be able to deal with this psychologically.

I still cannot believe that england vs denmark didnt go into over 2.5 goals in regular time. It was 1-1 in 40th minute and so many chances in the second and no goal. In extra time that penalty was shocking honestly. Clearly not a penalty

I also choose England 
As expected, although some may not expect and realize that England can be one of the candidates for this final,, this is it, England can reach the final. Defeating Demark maybe not easy but that is it.
And now, focus on the final. Yeah, you are right, Italy is not an easy opponent.

England victory over Denmark also presented a controversy that is currently being discussed around the world, I personally am very surprised about the referee decision to give a penalty to the England team, even though it was very clear that sterling only got a little touch and this was not a violation that should lead to a penalty, I personally think that sterling actually diving in the match, and strangely enough the referee made a decision without having to discuss it with the linesman and it didn't even seem like the referee needed VAR to confirm that the incident was a foul or not .

Well, that's football, some people think England deserves a penalty and some people think England is very lucky to get the penalty.

In my opinion, when Sterling fell in the penalty area it wasn't violated by Joakim Maehle. Although there was a slight touch between Sterling and Joakim Maehle, it was not a foul, and I think Raheem Sterling deliberately dives for a penalty.

England deserved to win over Denmark but not with that penalty.

I know right! My bet was both team to score and then over 2.5 so I had mixed feelings with the result of the second half. I'm glad I won a little but I'm still frustrated that I didn't win more. I'm greedy I know hehe. It's also a good thing I didn't take the juicy odds offered for Denmark.

Forget about the plenty for a moment. If you were referee and you had to decided the result of the match based upon the performance in the 90 mins by both teams, whom will you declarer the winner ?
For me, England played far better than Denmark and rightly deserve the win.

England had 60% ball possession and a lot of more shoots on target, they definitely played better. Denmark had good efforts though and scored the first goal against England this tournament. In the end both Italy and England had to play both overtime, so both teams are a bit exhausted and now Italy has one day more rest till Sunday. It is hard to say who is going to win, but since England never won the EM before I think they will make it this year. Putting all my money on England now.

Eventually, they only scored the decisive goal at 103 minutes. It is not too good for them. If the match had gone to penalty, I don't know what would have been an ending for England.

They managed to win without the penalty and it is good for them. I respect Denmark but it is a better final match with Italy and England. If Denmark manages to join the final, they will begin with 50 or 60% of their energy like Croatia in World Cup 2018 against France. They will be almost exhausted after all things they tried till their last match.

[acquafredda]

Denmark could have merited to reach the final. I liked their game yesterday, I think it was decided by a greater football experience that England has. And, frankly speaking, the penalty has been a huge concession.
Now there is the very last game, and as I mentioned in another thread Italy has all the qualities to get the cup with a clear win.
I am placing a big bet on Italy winning the cup in 90 minutes.

[Avirunes]

Now UEFA is opening disciplinary action against England over the laser incident in Harry Kane's penalty: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-england-charged-uefa-over-24487910 . Seriously sometimes fan take it so far doing everything they could whether it be threats, laser or any kind of disturbances.. why they just can't be normal? Is it too hard  

As for yesterday's match, Denmark did great holding England and they kept them on toes until the last moment.

The final match is the most difficult match compared to other match during the competition. So far England and Italy are the two team that have never lost in the EURO 2020 competition as far as I know. Italy has a strong defense, while England have not conceded more than 2 goals so far. I think Italy have a greater chance of winning the title with defensive power and counter-attacking, but England cant be underestimated. I love England, but I have to say that Italy is a strong candidate for the title.

[cryptofrka]

Bjorn Kuipers from Netherlands will be refereeing the final. A really good choice in my opinion, he's one of the best referees around, had a really good Euro so far, he's respected by the players and rarely lets the game slip his grasp.

_______________

Regarding England's performance yesterday, they had 56 touches with the ball in Denmark's penalty area which is a tournament record since they started counting (1980). Sterling alone had 15, Danish team had a total of 5. A good statistic that shows how superior and dangerous England was yesterday.

Cristiano Ronaldo the top scorers at EURO 2020 so far, and leads the Golden Boot race. If Harry Kane shows another great performance at EURO 2020 Final overall math could be changed. He has been in great form since the start of this tournament. I would like to see Cristiano Ronaldo as player of the tournament and Harry Kane as Golden boot winners.

If Harry Kane will perform extraordionry in the final and wins the match then maybe he can get the Golden Boot. But if both Harry Kane and Messi perform well, then Messi will be ahead in the race to win the Golden Boot. I am optimistic that Messi will win the Golden Boot.
