If Italy had scored first they would have defended with their lives and been hard to break down.Best thing for an open game was an early England goal.What a great goal it was too.

But ANY game that has an early goal generally changes the mindset so, let football be the winner. England have started well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renfrew156 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 3 italian players defending with hands clasped behind their backs at the goal, surely this puts them off balance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
