An England backlash? Or can Italy shock the world Cup finalists?

Have at it

Scratchly · 13-02-2021 3:12pm

I'm expecting England to still struggle a bit to get back to form. And Italy to be Italy. Could be a messy affair.

for the more knowledgable here, why did none of the italians take the knee and some english took it and some stood. Was this agreed beforehand
TIA

Me too, I think Italy will be competitive here for large portions of the game.

As I understand it. Officially they have a minute silence as a stand against racism. Obviously everyone respects and supports this.

Taking the knee is a show of support for black lives matter. Not everyone supports everything black lives matter stands for. It's got a lot of political and activist shenanigan baggage. Players do it or not as a personal thing.

Gwan Italia!!!

Jaysus.... unexpected...but get in there!!

13-02-2021 3:20pm

Brilliant

Great to see a referee watch the offside line. England's defence is very ordinary when they are kept onside

Scratchly · 13-02-2021 3:20pm

Great start for Italy.

razorblunt · 13-02-2021 3:23pm

Lawes on all fours over his own ball.

Scratchly · 13-02-2021 3:25pm

Harsh penalty. The reason he still had hands on was because England were holding on.

Ruggabugga101 · 13-02-2021 3:26pm

Harsh.

Wonder if England 'got the right information' this week....Eddy sprouting **** during the week.

The Inbetween is mine · 13-02-2021 3:28pm

Ford butchered that ...huge overlap out to his right and he went straight into contact

Weepsie · 13-02-2021 3:29pm

Surely may had a most obvious knock on there

Dave_The_Sheep · 13-02-2021 3:29pm

Eh, knock on, perhaps?

Weepsie · 13-02-2021 3:31pm

Referee has gone on holiday the last 5 mins. That wasn't difficult

Was hoping they might show a replay. Looked obvious to me.

Try looked like a double movement too.

theVersatile · 13-02-2021 3:31pm

Double movement on the last angle?

AdamD · 13-02-2021 3:31pm

How could they miss that knock on?

Joy Neville asleep at the wheel there, obvious knock on from May

beggars_bush · 13-02-2021 3:31pm

Why weren't the Italians screaming for a knock on review?

adam240610 · 13-02-2021 3:32pm

Replay, was a clear knock on, a lot of calls seem to be being missed lately

Probably expected tmo to do their job

razorblunt · 13-02-2021 3:32pm

Massive double movement.

Joy Neville misses quite a few big things in the booth it has to be said.

13-02-2021 3:32pm

Ah feck - good few bites of the apple there from Cowan Dickie who's on my team but Hill gets it.

Big knock on missed in the run up there.

Have to feel sorry, refs are constantly saying “if there’s something TMO will catch it” when players are shouting and asking and then you see this. Must be infuriating.

razorblunt · 13-02-2021 3:34pm

Itoje pinged for pancaking on top there. Brilliant.

Terrible reffing. Held on the ground and walking on his knees.

razorblunt · 13-02-2021 3:35pm

Italian 8 is a monster.

mfceiling · 13-02-2021 3:35pm

"itoje plays on the edge"

Actually is illegal a lot of the time and it's good to see refs pull him up on it.
