England vs. Italy Sunday just as GalactiCon ends. What a great final! I'll be in front of the telly in my England shirt, cheering them on. Need a miracle to beat Italy though as they've been consistently sweeping their opposition aside. At least the final is in London. That should help. |

Having a home game in the finals is helpful, and if I am not mistake has helped before. I see people are campaigning that Monday be a holiday if England beats Italy. |

I had reasons to cheer for both England and Denmark. Go England.

Come on England! I honestly didn't think I'd see them reach a final in my lifetime. Always destined to choke at the semi final stage. They'll need to play much better than they did against Denmark to beat Italy though. England at the moment reminds very much of the Italian teams of old. Italy would always start slow, very few goals and get better as the tournament went on. 1982 World Cup which they won, they didn't even win a group game. Three draws but somehow it was enough to qualify in 2nd place. They then go into a 2nd round group of 3 with Brazil and Argentina and just got better and better.

It's the first world cup I remember. Although i was almost 10 for Mexico 1986 so that was the world cup I was able to really follow and enjoy. It's how a world cup should be for me. Non HD, played in heat with commentators sounding like they are talking down a phone line in a land far, far away. Also the South American teams etc very special to see as you hardly ever saw them or their players other than at world cup time. Now they are on the box seemingly all the time But I digress from the original subject - let's hope England go for it and don't play too negative. Italy will have lots of tricks up their sleeves but this is a big chance. On home soil we have to be slight favourites. I predict a tight 2-1 win |
