When I was it Sicily recently, no matter what game was being broadcast, they almost talked about Italy right up to the kick off before checking their notes to see who was actually playing!Quote:

I always found similar when I stayed down south. Possibly why I've never really had an issue with England doing well.Quote:

Which of the big teams have obliterated any of the smaller teams? Apart from Germany of course.:greengrin.Quote:

Interesting that the ITV take is a lot less ebullient than the BBC about England, Neville pointing out it was a ‘struggle’ but they ‘deserve credit’ for getting through. I think the BBC have been told to be more positive as an editorial policy.
I was surprised at their reaction, I thought England were rubbish again and lucky to go through but the pundits were far too upbeat.Quote:

ITV have decided to spend the entire half time analysis talking about England.
Na.Quote:

It's the same with the BBC, it's the opinions of Lineker, Shearer, Ferdinand etc.
Me too, my English cousins on whatsap agreed too, they thought the halftime pundits reaction was particularly bizarre.Quote:

But deary me, can we please stop with Christina Unkel...you're not addressing an American audience who don't know the basics. It's so condescending at times.
Wow what a save!
UnbelievableQuote:

Credit to both teams here. They’ve both tried to win this from the off.
Good.
Netherlands will give England a hard game.
Credit to Turkey for a wholehearted display
Turkey would have given them a harder game. Better side lost.Quote:
