Exactly how I feel
I do apologise mark. You are one of the main ones!
I should have realised from your user name.
Pirlo said: "People talk about England playing the Italian way, but that's rubbish. Only Italy can play the Italian way. And we do not care for anyone who tries to impersonate us. It's like trying to play against Spain the Spanish way.
"They have weaknesses that we can exploit, particularly in the midfield. They are missing some key players and I think we will have the measure of them in that area."Roy Hodgson knows Italian football, which is a small advantage, and he is very tactically astute. But I have seen some of England's games in this tournament. They have been more practical than impressive, and we are confident of beating them.
"They also look very nervous at times in defence and, France aside, they have not had to play too many big nations.
"I think they were more adventurous under Fabio Capello and I would have been more concerned if he was still in charge.
"It is very odd to see an English side play counter-attacking football. Maybe they will adopt a different approach against us, but I doubt it because in some ways they are very predictable.
"They have been very fortunate in getting this far. Against France they were completely outplayed, then they struggled against Sweden and were extremely lucky to win against Ukraine."

The manner of that victory in Bloemfontein is still vivid in the memory of Podolski who has vowed to put England to the sword again.
He said: "It could be England again - and if that's the case then of course it's no problem!

Comments like the one made by Pirlo and Podoski makes me root for England even more...
Then my work here is done.
We're missing some key players? This from a member of a side which has two fruitcakes up front and whose best CB is out of this game?
Haha

This could be a real cracker.
Hard to seperate the two teams really. The Italians looks the better balanced side whereas England's got a Gerrard looking like he loves football.
Thanks to Lampard not being around I believe (footballing-wise).

I have a feeling that this game will be the direct opposite to last nights dire walk in the park for the Spains.
A CRACKER I TELL Y'A.
Backed both teams prior to the start of the Euros to win it all, so will be rooting for Gerrard and Carroll and Johnson and for the best team to progress.

I gather this is just going to be like against France with Roy playing his shithouse tactics . But guess if they get the results then fair enough .
still think the standard of this tournament hasn't been that high , germany and spain are the only decent looking teams with maybe portugal next behind them. So England getting to the QF and maybe even beyond isn't exactly the greatest achievement in the world .
