well, Germany lost 3:5 to Swiss right before the euro started - friendlies can be an indicator, but tournament games often do look very different

still, best of luck to Portugal,I will be cheering for you in that match against Spain

i know mate. it is just a way to keep motivation high... im so nervous already i cant even sleep well thinking about this game.

i think im gonna pass if this goes into penalties.

I was like that when Serbia played against Germany in WC 2010. It's even worse when your team takes the lead early into the game, when every opponents attack seems insanely dangerous

This will be a tough one for England, Italy are rock solid in the defense. It could be a rather static and boring match or both teams could go all out and chase the goal. Personally I think this match will be rather boring and end with a penalty contest after overtime and extra play.

I just hope they score in regular time to stay true to the "goals in every game" project europe has been working on this tourney ;).

Its always good for the match to get an early goal!

I'm not so sure if it was good for yesterdays match...

As i'm not particularly fond of the Italian team style (never was), I wish England the best of luck for this game. Imo, a Germany - England semi would be a much better spectacle than a Germany - Italy one.

For the good of Football, England better win this!

Go British!

England played very bad so far. Italy on the other hand was very good. I say Italy 1:0
