[Klin]

It's just that we have a lot of those "Daily Mail" and "Sunday Mirror" type fans here. One of my neighbors, an avid Man City fan (not Nick), is actually quite reasonable in his assertions and predictions tho

I wondered at which point the quiet under-the-radar optimism brought by this young England squad might turn into the tried and trusted biennial arrogance and ignorance. But then Lawrenson is a Liverpool fan, so I guess he is basing a lot of this on their season.

England can quite easily win the game, but there is no need to set yourself as a dick about it.

Btw, I took their poll and clicked England as "winners" just to troll them.

At least the poll shows that not all are bumbling morons.

Note the gap between "Final" and "Winners"... it's 4x.

Actually those 3% who chose final meant winners, if England reach the final there is no other choice but winning it.

Belgium?

Anyway Italy look shaky as always before a tournament. A lot of people were I work feel that England will beat Italy with ease

 

[Vlad]

A lot of people are delusional if they think that way. Italy experiments before the tournaments, maybe even concealing their strengths, but once the competition starts these guys will be ready, as always.
