    Belgium have a poor manager who can't defend. Mancini would school him by soaking up and hitting them on break and Martinez wouldn't know how to respond.

    I see no evidence whatsoever for your assertion about us tbh.

    England no way. Possibly up top, but I’d give an arm for Italy’s midfield/defence/keeper.

    Portugal looked…okay. Belgium have quality, no doubt.

    They may not have the most exciting strike force, but they just banged three in for the second game running, so not too bad…

    Every extra goal just pushes Wales closer to 2nd place.

    Immobile gonna score more than any of our players for their so called lack of firepower. And he's just come off a 20 goal season iirc.

    Be a real shame for that not to be the final.

    Their keeper/defence/midfield craps on ours. And that’s sort of important.

    I'm trying to get both sides of this as I am a bit biased as I said, but I really don't get knocking this team as average. Delightful football and goals to match.

    They meet in semis if both win group (Which they surely will).

    I've said all along that our CB's and CM's are what let this England side down quality wise as we have none anywhere near the required quality.

    I don't think they're average - I just don't think Italy are among the favourites to win it. QF would be my bet where they go out.

    I really don't want to meet Italy anywhere in this competition. France the same. Anyone else I think on our day we can do it.

    It's not totally out of the question that Portugal could finish above France. They might not need to beat France to do that.

    Charity bet? I think they'll reach last 4, tenner?

    My only slight doubt is how big a miss Chiellini might be as I've no idea how good this other fella is.

    I can see Italy getting to the semis and bottling it. Or the final.

    Yeah true as that 3-0 might go in their favour. I'm not ready to write Germany off yet though and wouldn't be surprised at all if they beat Portugal on Saturday.

    Dream time:

    Italy 1-0 France
    England 2-1 Portugal

    England 0-0 Italy (England win 4-2 on penalties)

    My worst nightmare.

    I would want England to win no doubt, but it would conflict me internally.
