Above: Silvio - hey Englishmen - we will defeat you, hey who's that with you? your wife? can i have her? what about your daughter? come back to mine for some bunga bunga but be quiet my mother will be asleep.....Italy v England – a fixture usually so boring it is akin to Fat Mike talking about the fight that happened between Senghenydd and Risca in division 42 south east B in 2007 for an hour and a half or Gavin Hastings commentating on that actual game- but not this time – no way Hose….
An England team, young and barely recognisable outside their own houses, off the back of a win albeit against a Scottish side with the attacking flair of a quaker (think about it) but up for the challenge. Unchanged but blending the experience of Hodgson (snigger) and Foden with some great prospects this English team could deliver the goods. An Italian side ram packed with caps and not too little talent. The talent is spread too thin but they always pull a performance out of the bag and I don’t think they have had a better time to beat the English. More than double the support they receive at the Stadio Flaminio, full of fizz from Parrisse’s team talk and what is the longest and most exciting national anthems in the world (especially now since Tangisubikstan has changed its anthem from the 12’ version of ‘the only way is up’ by Yazz and the plastic population to ‘God save Tangisubikstan’) the Italians may be too hot to handle.
For once this game may actually down to tactics, I’ve been wrong about nearly every game so far but I still pick Italy to win.
