Don't know anyone who's given England the nod in the game vs Italy. English TV pundits included. I'm sure the Sun and the Mail are claiming how we'll thrash them, but everyone else is realistic about our chances, which are not terrible, but Italy are the favourites.
Even UK betting websites have them at even odds, which basically means Italy are favourites since British people will be betting heavily on England and the odds will be adjusted to counter that.

.Bollocks...did you miss BBC's MotD lastnight after Engurlunds win? Where they talked already about semi-finals ALREADY and Alan Hansen outright said he thinks Italy has no chance of beating England.
or how about...http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18512447
On ITV it was Roy Keane who had to lower expectations on the panel...ROY KEANE ffs...

Don't ever ever listen to Alan Hansen. Ever.

Why would a nations pundits to tell everyone their team is going to lose?
Why would marcotti would say Italy are going to get hammered or Alan Hansen says England will get destroyed?
They are being biased and patriotic. So what? If you want to see some real over the top stuff try reading the Spanish football media sometime. It makes England and Italy's press look like cool neutral observers.

I did not see that, omg, two of them predict England to win on penalties, are they serious??
ESPN and ITV were a lot more realistic. As are the betting shops, and everyone here... right?
no we gon win 7-2 bcuz scottish hansen sed so
Seriously though, every country has biased media. The English are worse than others for their sensationalism, but fuck it, I ignore it
I'm just responding to Acheteedo's post...and ofcourse you're right and it's totally natural.
Fair enough. Sorry.

Uhm, you ask anyone in England how they are thinking and its not like that.... Most will dare to dream if they get through the quarters but until then, no, not so much.
We know our team can beat anyone on their day and they have, but they've never been able to produce consistent form in a tournament... After the world cup most here think getting to the quarters is a bonus. We have a new manager running a new setup which involves the players staying on their feet and working defensively as a pack.... The players are doing ok with it, but its far from being mastered yet.

Hansens Scottish, most Scots would love to see England get buried in the dirt...... I'm sure he just likes to spread the pundits curse everywhere.

Imagine if England beat Italy, Germany & Spain on the way to the cup, winning each game 1-0 with 1 shot on target in each. It would be beautiful
It was fucking offside. The reason the offside rule exists is because the game would be shit without it.... It would also make scoring much easier as strikers could get the run on the defence without worrying, which was the case with the Ukraine "ghost" goal as they were nearly a couple of yards offside which made scoring that goal much easier than it should have been.
Therefore can everyone STFU about it and accept nearly the correct decision was made apart from England were robbed of a free kick higher up the pitch.
Thanks.
Yes, but would that make winning the cup deserved? I'd rather see them dominate each game with passion, splitting passes, combined with clinical finishing. Just like what we see in the premiership every week.

Of course it would be deserved, unless the officials are pretty much winning the games for us
Unless the officials make a mistake or don't punish blatant cheating, there are no circumstances where the team who scores most goals in a football match does not deserve to win the game.
Otherwise what would be the point? we should just hand the game to whoever has the most possession and ignore the score.
