Almost supporter for Italy, all Europe exception England off course. I don't know why England doesn't have a supporter much, I'm pretty sure my country also Supports Italy like me. I hope they fair to play and present the match without controversy. I'm happy to see the Conmebol final even if I lose in a bet because they present a fair match. I hope the euro final like that too.

Funny map.
All EU countries are discouraged with England because of Brexit, so it's easy for no one to want them to win.
Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are England's biggest rivals, so they want you to beat Italy too.
So this map makes sense.

Personally I think England will win, even though I like Italy.

And the day has come finally. Tonight, we are going to have a delightful game between England and Italy in the final round. And the stadium is Wembley again.    I wonder if England will be able to make use of this advantage. They've had a really decent performance so far. Kane has been doing great and he is in-form. I also wonder what kind of a strategy Italy will follow.

My favorite team in this final game are England.

It is just a meme, and I don't think that it is closer to the truth. But outside the participants, Italy will be having a higher level of support IMO. Because the boorish behavior of the English fans during their semi-final match against Denmark angered a lot of neutral viewers. Showing aggression is not bad in the field. But when this aggression turns to bullying and intimidation, a lot of the fans don't support it. This is one of the reasons why I almost never support the Netherlands team. The Dutch defenders sometimes forget that they are playing football and take out their kung fu skills in the field.

[BIT-BENDER]

But England make not have the numbers but they are putting everything out to support their team, like the picture I saw, online of a memo from an English school to parents and guardians, telling them to allow their kids watch the finals and that the resumption time for the next school day has been shifted to 11 am local English time or their about, and advicing them to teach their kids heritage, England may not be loved outside, but they have managed to instill patriotism in their citizens young and old, the finals won't be played by billions all over the world it would be by the English and Italian national football teams, am really excited about this match.

Home advantage after a season of Corona and no crowds, it's going to be a really really tough atmosphere for the Italians.

Well, that's what I took into consideration as well, getting news that said Italian supporters were banned from watching because of the recent spread of Covid-19. Whether it's true or not about the news and whether or not there will be spectators in the final match, I personally feel very confident to bet on England because the squad they currently have looks very good. In contrast to Italy, which I think only relies on a few players to be targets and the speed that Chiesa has, of course it will be of more concern for the English defense.

I do feel it's such a shame that the whole tournament seems to be based on Covid (in terms of spectators) and I felt it was quite strange that England got the exemptions when the news seems to say they're equally affected by further outbreaks, and seems even worse in terms of new infections, but still they got their way and no complaints from anyone. Whoever is professional doesn't care where they play but you can't ignore the boost of home advantage.

If Italy lose I'll be sad, but I guess the bigger story will be England winning for the first time in 55 years! Chiesa another goal, please!

Well.. you know the facts. England got the exemption, because they vaccinated more than 60% of their population (Italy managed to inoculate just half that number). The cases are increasing once more in England, but the situation is under control and the number of deaths have remained low. I am also supporting Italy for today's match (I guess a majority of those outside England are rooting for Italy), but for them it will be a very tough job to face England in front of all the English fans at Wembley. It can be quite intimidating, as Denmark found out a few days back.

I'm looking forward to Italy if it's a penalty shootout. If the time is up to 120 minutes I favor English. Italy is a strong country, England are breaking the chain of their 40 years without a title. Tomorrow is the best opportunity, because it appears in his own country. They are mentally superior because there will be a lot of fans supporting them, besides that I heard news that Italian fans were banned from coming to the stadium.

[blue Snow]

I don't know why England doesn't have a supporter much...

England is still hated by many because of its colonial history. Then there's Brexit. Then there's "Football's Coming Home". Then there's the arrogance. Then there's booing the opposition's national anthems before kick-off ... Do I really need to keep going?

Maybe Hand of God' Goal 1986 World Cup (Argentina vs England) and Lampard disallowed goal in 2010 World cup vs Germany including too, Look like they hate for long time ago.

Will be an exciting game today, even if England has a home advantage (actually this was a home EM for England) I think Italy will win the game narrowly. Possibly 2:1? Or do you think that England is at an advantage?

I read the news there is No Italy supporter in the stadium, Look like full England supporters in the stadium, of course, England got benefited from the situation.

[Stevcummings]

My biggest concern about SouthGate’s choice of midfielders he’s to deploy today. Philips and Rice aren’t the best match for the Italian trio.

The Italian midfield is more experienced than the three Lions. Jorginhno’s ability to dictate the tempo of the game is something the English side doesn’t have.

This Italy side can do it all, combining the defensive savvy they are famed for, along with a willingness to take the ball, dominate the game and get forward.
 I think Henderson needs to step in today to spice up the midfield.

Thats Very Stange , After See Your Inserted Image From Twitter, Previously I wanted to place a bet for Italy, now I choose to place a bet for England.

Majority Will Be Lose (80% Chance I Think), This Is Just My Prediction, Don't Take It Very Serious

Lol, but it makes sense tho. Most people prefer Italy to win the final match but dont forget the game will be held at Wembley. Its a good advantage for England. They will play in front of their own fans which for sure can be the 12nd player that may give a big impact to the end result.

I support Italy because they have Inzaghi.

If England can re-name two of their players into Beckham and Overmars, maybe I would support them instead. Nostalgia is kind of my weakness. In fact, I didn't know that England made it to the final game till I read this topic's last page. I didn't even know that the final game was today lol.

I should probably watch this one.

From the very beginning of the tournament, Italy has been playing a great game. There was no stadium advantage as England did. England played their semi-final match at Wembley and is playing the final match at Wembley. This gives them a huge advantage. In the final game, the home advantage makes a big impact.

For this match It's hard to argue that we haven't got the two best teams in the Euro facing each other. It's also very tough to pick a winner picking up England is considereda good choice considering how advantage but you have to feel it'll take a big moment of luck or genius to part these sides over 90 minutes so the reasoned argument would be to say this will be decided in extra-time or even on penalties.
I hope England win it since I'm a big fan of EPL Unfortunately, Im backing Italy after France got knocked out it was my 1st choice as for winner followed by Italy.
I still feel they are the favorites going into this game. Home advantage might benefit England but it wouldn't be enough.

Just wait for several hours to know who will be the champion. There are a lot of people support Italy than England, but there are a lot of possibility for the match. Italy or England, they are the best team for this season. The funny moment when the captaion of Italy moke England why they can entered the semi final just because play at home 6 of 7 matches. Now, I found that John Stones moke back the captain and make the final condition become hotter than before.

Interesting odds for Italy for those who are willing to back it, and not bad one for England. In this match there will be 2 winners, bookies and few lucky guys. I will not make any bet before seeing the first minutes of the game then I will decide. This shift towards England in bookies and news is worrying me.

[barota]

England have never beaten Italy at a major tournament, losing against the azzurri at the 2014 World Cup, Euro 2012 and Euro 1980, and their last competitive win came in a world cup qualifier at wembley in november 1977 the fixture against the 2006 World Champions will provide a stiff test less than three months before the start of next summer's showpiece in russia. the last time England played Italy was in a friendly, in turin, where the tightly fought match ended 1-1 the history of italy is is very good . i think england have no chance for the match of today  italy seem strong much compared with england  the match can end with draw if england play good

[cryptofrka]

Latest news from the english camp suggesting that Trippier will start instead of Saka - meaning a change of formation for the final.

From one standpoint changing the winning formation is always bad, from another England is quite familiar with 352 as well (played it during WC) and it makes more sense against the Italians.

I don't have a favorite tonight, both teams deserve it. It does srprise me that England is considered a favorite by the bookies though.

That is an interesting one from Southgate. So two guys on the left to keep a check on Insigne. I like the idea. Veratti could also become a trouble for England. Wonder its still no Grealish in starting lineup?

Yeah same, maybe because of the players they posses in the lineup as well as on the bench. Anyway it is good for Italy backers like me and honestly I think Italy have too much quality right now as compared to England. England are bit underperforming as compared to expectations. But well let's see.
