So are we for the eyeties or the poms?
Italy have played the best football but I think I’m actually going to support the English here. Not least because Italy’s trophy cabinet is not what you’d call bare. Southgate seems like a jolly decent chap too.

Reckon any kiwis at Wembley tomorrow will feel like they’re back at the cake tin

I haven't got tickets for the game tomorrow but England's team hotel is round the corner from me.
@billy-tell If football does come home tomorrow it will owe a debt to a Kiwi called Owen Eastwood:

Why do you say that? I've been much more entertained watching England.

Just my opinion. But I make no claims to being an expert. I like their rapid counterattacking.

I might be a bit more of an expert I guess.
I like the way England kicky round thingy runny.
Phil Foden a doubt for tomorrow's big game. I think Southgate might start with Grealish, go for the early goal and hope the noisy crowd becomes the 12th man for England.
I feel there is a gaping home in this analysis. Neither have been in recent starting 11s, so who is dropping out of the 11 for Grealish?
@Rapido Foden was starting games at the beginning of the tournament. Grealish started against the Czech Republic and played a prominent role off the bench against Germany.
Finals are time for leaders. Henderson and Grealish (both club captains) in the starting line-up. Rice and Saka can sit on the bench.
Pickford, Shaw, Stones, Maguire, Walker, Phillips, Mount, Henderson, Sterling, Grealish, Kane

England in a 6-5 barn burner please
Nil all loss on penalties far more likely
Yep, Southgate and Co. staying about 1 km from the Sparky cave. Could be a noisy night if they win.
I'm not a a huge football fan but normally follow England in the major tournaments. I haven't watched any games in the Euros and, surprise, surprise, England are in the finals.
I was at Cardiff in 2007 for the RWC Quarter Final against France so the Curse of the Meldrews exists and is real. Therefore I will not be watching the Final tonight in the hope England will win the thing....

what's the money on that being the only goal
I'm picking 4-1 England. 3-1 halftime.
Pretty happy with picking Shaw as *my" player early on in the tourney too.

Hang on, it was me that pointed out shaws amazing attacking qualities. At least that’s how I recall it not a word of a lie.
