Italy at England, great first half. Best half I've seen from Italy in a good while. Good goal by Scamacca and we had three other good opportunities that we failed to take advantage of. We did make one clamorous defensive error, a reckless tackle by Di Lorenzo that was correctly called for a PK, which Kane converted. 1-1, a fair score as both teams played well and both attacked incisively. This game may end either way; both teams got close to scoring more, so we'll see who takes advantage of their opportunities in second half. Excellent entertaining match!
England 2-1, deserved. They are having a second half better than ours. We were a bit frenetic in first half and seem to be tiring. England is the better squad. We'll have to beat North Macedonia and draw with Ukraine to qualify. Bellingham is a beast. What a player!
He's what we need. A player who can take the ball forward with purpose. Phillips lucky not to get a second yellow. Not surprised they took him off.
OK, this went south fast for us. Golazo by Kane, England 3-1. They are indeed the better squad. This one is over.
Full time England 3-1 Italy, well-deserved despite Italy's great first half. England has qualified while the road will be tough for us.
That was a horrible second half for Italy, they fell apart Ukraine got a 1:3. The heat is on Italy 6pm MT Mexico vs Germany in Philly. That should be interesting. We have a Forest Fire and they are still flying. Luckily for me the wind comes from the right direction. Its just 5 miles away and it is bone dry. Wind is at 10 mph from the West.
