EURO 2020 England vs Italy - Poll ⚽

[Welsh]

I might be accused of being a bitter Welsh man here, but I do believe Italy will beat England. Italy haven't lost in how many games? Isn't it closing in on 30 games now? I think their defense is enough to hold the attacking options England have got, and I think Kane, and Sterling will feel the pressure on the night, which will only aid the Italians. I do think it'll be a close game, and I actually think there will only be a goal in it on the day. I'm predicting 1-0.

I think Italy can win, the reason is simple, I think Italy has already achieved its style of play, that style they had in the 90s but with today's players, they also have a hunger for victory, on the other hand England has players very good and with great experience, the truth is that they have a very powerful attack, it could be said that it will be the best defense in the world against the best attack in Europe. I think that now the bets must be divided almost 50%, there are many followers and fans from Italy as well as from England, in my particular case I would like Italy to win.

If I was to compare each player against the opposite number on the other team. I'd probably have the majority of the English players in my team. They have some world class players or if not world class very close to that level. Harry Kane, Sterling, Sancho, Henderson, and Trent are all probably up there. Yet, they don't seem to click as well as they should. I'm not sure if its because of British media hyping them up, and then turning on them even for the slightest mistake, but that team should be running things. Italy have some good players no doubt, but I definitely think on a individual basis, England would win every day. However, this is a team game, and Italy has proven that they function brilliantly as a team, and that's what counts at the end of the day.

England also have a history of collapsing under pressure which is why I mentioned that earlier. I think certain players are more susceptible than others e.g Sterling, Maguire, and Pickford.

Im going with Italy in the final. I think there is karma in this world because of the penalty against Denmark. Plus Italy are so much more motivated and are always giving there all. I think this will be an intresting final and might go in to extra time

Well,to me,I don't see Italy becoming victorious in that tough encounter.England have been a team I vouch for from the beginning of this tournament.There backline and Frontline is both solid and offensive.Lets not also forget they have the best backline so far.Therefore,I give England the win over Italy.

[eaLiTy]

Honestly I think Italy takes it.  Whether it's in reg time or extra time I don't know.  They looked real good against Spain and don't feel the same about how England looked.  They seem susceptible to a counter and Italy is real creative.  Going to take a real concerted effort I think from the English side to get over on Italy.

Italy was playing a good defensive game against Spain and if you watched the match Spain was having the ball majority of the time and they failed to get inside the box and they tried many long range shots which all backfired and they wasted many opportunities. When it comes to England i thought it would be an easy game against Denmark but they took the time till the extra minute to score a goal.

The game is between England attack and the Italian defense, if it goes to the shootout then i am picking Italy to win.

Both teams are impressive, decent opponents, I hope to see some great game there, this is going to be something! But my vote is for Italy, 2-1, their performance was impressive so far, hope the final will be no exclusion.

England is better in defense because they conceded 1 goal only so far, on other side Italy has beaten more big teams than England. It is hard to predict but based on the odds, England is a bit favorite than Italy. England with 2.6-2.7x and Italy with 2.9x-3.xx.

Both team were in easy group of stage but Italy was in harder bracket on the Play-offs than England. If I'm not mistaken, the Final will be held in Wembley which is a home for England so it will be an advantage. It will be also England's first major tournament Final after 55 years, it can be a big pressure for the team since the fans will be hoping so much to see England take the trophy.

Hard to predict who will be the champion, but if I look at the overall history of both team in all major tournament, I'll choose Italy.

LOL.. the poll results really surprised me. Italy at 15 votes out of a total of 25. England and draw at 5 each. Naturally I would have expected more votes for England, since they are having better odds. Italy is mostly placed at +190 to +200 by sportsbooks (not much behind England though). I guess a lot of people are angry with England after the boorish performance from the English fans during the semi-final match against Denmark. I am thinking about making a bet in favor of draw after the first 90 minutes. IMO, the scores are likely to remain at level after regulation time.

We all saw the Denmark vs England game... And we've also all seen Italy games! I don't think England has a chance in this match! Attacking Italy is going to beat them! Even a home field won't save England from losing!

[Karartma1]

Thanks to all of you who contributed so far! It's a very interesting poll both in terms of results (so far, it looks everyone thinks/wants/hopes that Italy will win the Cup) and discussion.
The poll's open until Sunday afternoon so hopefully we'll reach at least 50 votes (the minimum I had in mind to place a bet).
64.3% for Italy is a lot!

[Ebede]

Good Attacking teams wins matches,while a good defense brings nd win you Trophies.
There's no doubt on this the best defending side wins the European Cup.
I'm place my bet on the Italians to Win again.

I dont think England has a better defence then Italy they might have not conceded many goals in this tournament but Italy didnt concede a goal for 13 or more matches i think they conceded now on the Euros but for me they have an experienced defence

Very well,well said......I really do want the Italians to win this one,I think they're Favorite for this Euros.
A good defense on that day,and as well make good use of there Chance's.
The English side will definitely attack because they'll want to wrap things up in a jiffy.

The Danes Midfielders couldn't win balls from the English side during the second half of the game,the got exhausted, really good pressure from the English side because they needed the win that bad.
They'll sure attack the Italians,it's left for the Italians to make use of their chances and Utilize it.

Real Good??  No no not at all, Spain had full possession of the game of the game that night,more dangerous attacks than the Italians the,the Italians only has great defending that night despite the goal from Alvaro Morata.
They'll sure sit back, defend and counter attack the English side.

There's gonna be two things involved on that day its either the English side wins and the trophy stays home,or the Italians wins and the Trophy goes Rome.
Time will surely tell in days to come.
Italians for this one.

italy was really bad in their game last time against spain and it was very clear when spain dominated the match and so did england which indeed in the game against denmark in my opinion did not play well and it can be said that 2 goals were created by england in the match that is just luck, to be honest I enjoy the Italian game more (except against Spain) than England, so that's why I prefer Italy to win in the final later  .

[SFR10]

Italy haven't lost in how many games? Isn't it closing in on 30 games now?

Their unbeaten run has extended to 33 matches so far ^{[27 wins and 6 draws]}.
Personally, I'd prefer England to win it but despite playing in Wembley, I have a strong feeling that Italy would come out as winners ^{[collectively, they play smarter]}.
^{- I'm expecting a draw in regular time [both teams to score] and Italy winning it in penalties.}
