I think they genuinely said that Pickford was one of the five, he took (and scored) a penalty against Switzerland in the Nations League so does have the technique. I'd expect Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford to be some of the main names mentioned.

MikeO Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm in full training for the game, have twiglets and dry roasted peanuts packs open and primed, in fact I just reached for a twiglet without looking and didn't realise until it reached my mouth that I'd erroneously picked up a peanut. My taste buds were taken by surprise. Conundrum I have is not owning an England shirt, was going to substitute it with my 2019 England rugby shirt but then it dawned on me that we lost the World Cup final wearing that, so I'm conflicted.

MikeO Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 "Kieran Trippier will start for England in tonight’s Euro 2020 final with Italy at Wembley, BBC Sport understands. It had been thought Gareth Southgate would name an unchanged line-up from the semi-final win over Denmark, when Trippier was on the bench. But the Atletico Madrid man will be in Southgate’s starting line-up as England revert to wing-backs and a back three as they look to become European Champions for the first time. England XI: Pickford, Trippier, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Rice, Phillips, Sterling, Mount, Kane." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 It is going to be all about how often we get Sterling and Saka up against Chiellini and Bonucci. I don't think there is any doubt that Italy have played the better football in the tournament but the old boys at the back will be shitting themselves at the thought of being 1 v 1 against either of those two.

When my wife was in labour there was a sign in the hospital saying that domestic abuse goes up around 52% (if I remember correctly) when England play. As much as I do consider football life and death, I wouldn't be doing any of that shite which is just plain wrong. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
