    Sky sports uk- England to play 5-2-3, with walker to play as the 3rd center back, Trippier to play right wing back, with mount going playing right side of attack of 3.

    That's odd, but Southgate has shown himself to be very flexible in his formations. This would mean he's willing to give up possession in the middle of the pitch and then try to outnumber us on the flanks and hit us with speed on the counter.

    We've got to stay very compact as a team against this type of formation. Then again, it could all just be a bluff. I think our False 9 rumors are a bluff IMO. We'll see.

    Maybe this will bring them luck?

    On this day in 1982, Italy won their 3rd World Cup!

    My guess is that Mancini will stick to his starting 11. Only when England shows the dominance in the midfield, which is unlikely to happen, he might as well send on a false 9. Sounthgate would put more players in behind and play counter attack to start the play, this is their best chance.

    If the False 9 rumour is true, Mancini is using a mirror of Luis Enriques tactic that adds an extra body in the midfield with then Immobile coming off the bench as a sub. Could be interesting

    I never wanted Italy to win a game so much in my life. Even more than 2006

    False 9 never made sense. Well have possession and sounds like they’re going with a back 3 and they know it too

    for me it’s still 2006 I wanted more. World Cup puts that star on your jersey plus we were up against a rival.

    The attitude of the English is making this hotter for me.

    Man, Verratti and Jorginho have played a ton of soccer this year. Last game, I hope they have enough in the tank.

    England have never beaten us. They’re at the home with over half a century of losing as a legacy. All the pressure is on them.

    and of course we’ve conquered England before
