👎 Italy continue to have problems
Italy are showing no signs of improvement. In the first group games, they played decent in some periods, although in their only win against Hungary, they were quite frustrating at times. In the last match, however, they were thrashed by the Germans 2-5 away. It’s not clear how long Mancini will stay if the team continues like that. Besides, Italy don’t have their best squad for the coming games.
🔥 For England this match will be more emotional
First game for the English side since the Queen’s passing. It will certainly be more emotional especially considering it’s also a clash with the team that beat them at Wembley on penalties in the European Cup a year ago. The English have virtually no chance of top spot, but are unlikely to want to be last in the group.
🏆 England will want the win more
I think the English will be pumped to win for many reasons, most of all to honour the Queen. There will certainly be more than a few talks as the World Cup approaches about how England will want to be champions for Her Majesty. Considering Italy’s weak team both in spirit and as a squad, because many of the strongest players will not be involved, the bet would be England to win either half at 1.80.
