It's the big one on Sunday and for me the two best teams have made it to the final in the end.
England 1 win away from ending a 55 year wait for an international trophy back in a final for the first time since 1966.
Whole country is bouncing and behind the team (apart from a few right wing idiots/MPs).
I'm sure we'll talk more about line ups over the next few days but 10 players to me are basically nailed on to start the only question mark will be does he go for a back 3 in which case Tripper would come in or does he stick to the back 4 which means it'll be one of Saka/Foden/Sancho to start on the right side.
I think Italy will cause us a lot of problems their quality in the midfield is going to be very hard for England to cope with and in Chiesa/Insigne they've got two really dangerous one vs one attacking players. Last night I felt England were letting far to many passes get through our midfield and in to the Danish strikers that simply cannot happen vs Italy.
Positive is I think our attackers will cause Italy a lot of problems just like Spain did they'll struggle to pick up Kane when he comes deep and they've got no chance covering the breaking runs of our wide players.
I've felt really confident about winning every game so far I've said if we play well we can beat anyone and I do still feel that way but my worry is can we win if Italy also play well as it's going to be very hard to get a lot of possession against them and they look like the 1 team in this tournament that can match our work rate and intensity.
