Prediction

The match will be physical, quick and competitive, and Italy have the technical ability to make this their night. But a second-half strike from Harry Kane lifts the English to European glory for the very first meter, earning England their first major trophy since 1966. Gareth Southgate does it, overcoming his penalty peeing at Euro 96 to guide his county to a continental seduction. Pick:  England 2, Italy 1

Storylines

Italy: In frightful mannequin overall, they did give up a few besides many well looks against Spain that England will try to replicate. It typically comes from one-touch passes that catch a stalwart, so far aging defense mechanism off guard. As a result, they need to be just at tad sharper in reacting to passes. While they will typically look to close down after a bye, tracking the pass to prevent immediate combinations near the clear of the box will be needed. In attack, set pieces in the air will be slippery due to England ‘s acme, but their speed and technical ability could give Harry Maguire and John Stones trouble.

England: A day ‘s less of respite and having gone a full 120 minutes against Denmark wo n’t matter here. Italy precisely went to extra time, and England will have their freshest leg of the cup, boosted by what may just happen in 90 minutes clock time. This is far and away the biggest meet England will have played in the end five decades, and they believe. Playing at home is an advantage, but they will need to be cautious. Italy have shown an ability to do damage from rigorous angles, and closing down fast will be key. Jordan Pickford will need to make some big saves, but if he can come up with them, they could just pull this murder. It ‘s going to be tight, it ‘s going to be close, but never discount rate a team at home, though the burden of a state rests on their shoulders. Craving even more coverage of the Euro 2020 final ?
