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.

Very early goal to Shaw. England 1 Italy 0. 23 minutes gone now.

What a fucking beauty

Like that Gareth Edwards try, it will be the clip shown 100,000 times.

sparky

Odd sort of game now. Italy seeing a lot of the ball, but creating very little and not testing the England defence terribly much. Their best chances have come from England errors.

Still 1-0.

Billy Tell

Italy started out of sorts but beginning to dominate possession.

sparky

Eight out from half time, Italy the better side at the moment. Score still 1-0.

Haven’t looked like scoring

Italy have shifted their formation to match England's. Seen more of the ball but not really threatened Pickford's goal.

FFS England

Don’t sit on the lead, run them ragged

MiketheSnow

Rice is having a great game

MiketheSnow

Someone has to have a go from the edge of the box to draw the Italian defenders out

Billy Tell

I find it hard to think my England can cling to a 1-0 lead with most of the game played in their half. Will be interesting to see southgates 2nd half tactics.

Looking a little more ominous though. England have to maintain their attacking footing, this could be a long half

Does football have rules about delaying tactics: 30s for a throw in, goalie taking forever etc?

Yes but they are quite generous to the team in possession.
