blackhawkrush Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 And now a heavyweight scrap.Then Lukaku wins. However, I wonder if those beautiful Italians haven`t something a little silkier up their short sleeves :wub:Next you'll be telling us you like Verratti's eyes. :eyeroll: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Spain beating them (another kiss of death moment!)Italy combine the guile and the gamesmanship; you`ve got yourself a tournament winning outfit right there. England need a bit of the latter if they`re to win tomorrow as Shevchenko will have instilled that in his team from his days in Italy. Be careful, leaden footed-Maguire and impetuous Stones! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkrush Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Well, I guess we had to have one Evil Empire in the game at this point ( no, we didn't :rage: ) or the semifinals would be a bit boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I`m starting to feel there`s something sinister about Denmark. They were playing well coming into Euro 2020 but everything went through Eriksen! Based upon all the data, I can authoritatively declare that they have made a deal with the devil. They have traded their star No.10 for tournament success, just like Robert Johnson did in the 1932 Mississippi Open if I remember rightly. It`s really bang out of order, when you think about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If this game goes to extra time, it`ll be walking pace. Everyone looks so sluggish that I could fit right in. Not looking like anyone has the energy to do anything too special :zzz: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d say Mongolia but no doubt Attila the Hun looked at one of Krakow`s bridges in a slightly askance way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the easiest tie that they will face from now on.It`s so easy to imagine Yarmolenko scoring from a mile and England hitting all parts of the woodwork etc. Logically though, England should be able to dictate enough of the play with the midfield selections to create some real chances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
