For me I think England are certainly good enough to win it. I think Philips and Rice are extremely limited in midfield but they are capable of doing the job Borat requires of them. Screaming schoolboy Pickford has a clanger in him though and I wouldn't be surprised if he drops it in the final.
The Italians are probably a better overall team man for man but England have a real buzz around them and it might just be their time.
I'll go for a narrow England win - maybe on pennos.
It's just a fucking real shame they are captained by a scum player.

Yes, all banter and euphemisms aside - I do hope England win (There you go Clummo! You okay now? ) Besides I drew them in the Office Raffle and stand to win £40
And for me DB has perfectly highlighted the players that make England a lesser team than Italy... Especially Pickford who reminds me of the kind of kid who was a / is a Bully - and that's how he muscled his way into his school team etc he's a gobby cuntt with an error waiting to happen - I hope it isn't in this game.
If England are ahead then come the 60th minute that's when the Italians will REALLY start throwing themselves down like they've been shot - Fat Tongue and the Wife Beater do it all the time anyway...

Italy to win 2-1
As you say Pickford has a real clanger in him, and so far, it hasn’t emerged…….
I’m English and proud to be so, but I don’t like our International team.
I wish Saka well, happy that he is gaining experience, still getting little hype to keep him grounded and Kane a big injury.
Another reason I hope we win - Yeah! I know it'll sound soppy - BUT We as a people (as have all the world but fuckk them) have had a truly horrendous year and a half under Lockdown and to Win this would give everyone a real Lift.
Well, in the same way I can say I lived to see Arsenal play in the CL final, I can finally say I lived to see Ingerlund play in a major final
I'm actually more confident than I would be facing Spain. The Italians were the best team in the group stages but bang average (and a bit lucky) against both Austria and Spain.
Anyone's game really. Just going to sit back and enjoy the moment - absolutely nothing to look forward to from an Arsenal perspective and I doubt there will be for a very long time, so going to savour the occasion of this final regardless of the result
This may be one of the most difficult finals to call in my lifetime, Italy are unbeaten in 33/34 games now and setting aside their propensity for theatrics are cable of scoring whilst can defend as well as anyone.
England on the other hand seem capable of creating goals from nothing but unfortunately also have a certain propensity for theatrics, the one issue for England is their defence and keeper, and in all honesty they have had a fairly easy run to the final so have not been seriously under pressure at the back.
England to win in a close match 2-1 with lots of post match accusations of England cheating from European media whilst ignoring Italy doing the same, as much as I dislike the British media the mainland European media is worse in terms of their hypocrisy.
