After 90 minutes only 7 forum users were right (including me) as the game ended in a draw. If we want to take the results at large, we can definitely admit that the majority of you guys were right!
In the end, I think Italy deserved to win both considering the overall Euro2020 performance and the character showed during the final.
Thread closes now, thanks everyone.
Topic: EURO 2020 England vs Italy - Poll ⚽ (Read 456 times)
I voted for Italy, I do not have too many reasons except that I really dislike when a match is decided by the decisions of the referees, the penalty kick that was given to England on overtime against Denmark was ridiculous, there was only a slight contact and it was of the kind that it is allowed all over the field and even after there was a review the decision was upheld, soccer is a contact sport so even if there was a mild contact it was not enough to justify the penalty kick being given to England, so for that reason alone I hope they lose against Italy.
We should just hope for a good match where the better team wins. This is not always the case in tournaments such as this. The technical data and statistics indicate that England should win, but I personally support Italy. And, as you pointed out, let's hope this isn't yet another case when the referee's mistake decides the winner.
Great thanks everyone. I'm very surprised about the poll results, it looks like the majority around here is either Italian or a wannabe Italian. 
I didn't expect this result before placing the poll but this is it.
Enjoy the match everyone, I'm gonna lock the thread by tomorrow.

The poll result shows that the winning is fo Italy, but almost every gambling site has provided with higher odds for Italy. I've placed Italy to win the match @3.4 as a single bet. The match seems to go close and end with equal goals and the extra time decides the winner.
I personally believe the match will end in normal time because if the match is decided on penalties then I am not sure about England, because Italy has a better goalkeeper I think to block the penalty kicks.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is the strength of Italy and the defense is the best and i am expecting England to struggle to score the goals and if the match goes to penalties then there is no doubt Gianluigi Donnarumma will take the team to victory as he has done that in the past and he will do it again and he is the best of this generation. 
I'm in the minority as it seems. I think England are one step ahead of Italy as they are going to play home. And this could be the biggest chance of England to win a title finally. I expect both teams to play extra carefully in this game. A game like this won't forgive simple mistakes for sure. I think this game will end in a draw in 120 minutes and England will reach the title after penalty shoot-outs.
Looks like you are no longer in the minority as even from the current odds it is clear England are the favourites, Italy @3.xx and England @2.xx. But indeed, if I may say I also really changed my mind because at the beginning I was very supportive of Italy no matter what, but after I realized and tried to convince myself where to support and the answer was England. But regarding whether the match will end in normal time or extra time, I personally believe the match will end in normal time because if the match is decided on penalties then I am not sure about England, because Italy has a better goalkeeper I think to block the penalty kicks.

Before it got to the final I really thought I would be seeing Belgium and England in the final, atleast that's what I thought, but now it's England against Italy, I have watched both of them, England has great players, very exciting young talent, like Saka, Foden, mount and more but Italy has professors of the game on the field, and Finals has it pressure, Manchester city found that out in the UCL finals. So at the point, Italy coach is more experienced than that of English coach, so looking at this, I predict Italy would win, but congratulations to England fob reaching the Finals after more than 5 decades.

There is every clear indication that italy is lifting the Euro 2020 trophy with a straight win. If I'm to predict this is going to be a 2:0 win against England going by the statistics of both teams during the tournament. England has not been in their best performance this season and might likely relinquish the trophy Italy. But it's a world of soccer where surprises are inevitable
Italy have been in good form since the beginning of this tournament,and so is England.Italy is strong defensively and offensively,so is England,so the both side have equal chances of lifting the trophy, but I predict England to win it by 2-1 in favour of England. 
Italy to win over all but I think the match will end in a draw probably 1-1 and then Italy will win on penalties. I would like to see England win it as they have been waiting for a very long time for this and it looks like they can finally make it happen but I do not know my brain tells me place a bet on Italy while I want England to win it.
I feel the same when I want to bet on italy but my mind says that england will win. This is a very tough decision to make when your bet is on the other team but your mind is opposite to which team you bet. This is similar to cricket where I bet on pakistan but my mind think that england will win and i'm correct which england won and my bet is on pakistan. This match will be good to watch Italy vs england. I think there wikl be another penalty here .

I find it surprising that the poll shows how the community is overwhelmingly pro-Italy, even though bookies believe in England's win. Even a draw is apparently more likely than Italy winning the game. And I get why England is a favorite, they have a very strong team comprised of people who are themselves strong players from top football clubs. England also has a home advantage IMO, as the match will be in London. That being said, I think Italy is capable of winning, and I've placed a small bet in its favor today to support it.
in my opinion italy have more chance and they will win the cup prediction of match for 90 minute the match will be very difficult and the draw can be the final results italy played good game sice the first match of euro , espicially the first tour of groupe this genre of this match is not easy for betting , and should avoid betting what you cannot affrod because the results past matchs of this european championchip was not predicted , for example many bettors were expecting France or Germany to be one of the favorites to win the cup but we have not see that

Just like me, England is indeed very favored by football fans, in fact they were able to only concede 1 goal until this final, but all the evidence will happen in the field, if asked to guess the score between Italy vs England I will be more inclined to England even though it doesn't rule out the possibility Italy can also win.
Prediction:
1. Italy 0 - 1 England
2. Italy 1 - 0 England
3. Italy 0 - 2 England
They won't lose badly and this will be the area where England play at Wembley
Maybe the English fans will cheer with full ambition for their players.
However it is a shame of course to have England national team playing at the Wembley on a finals game, that just doesn't sound fair, I know it was probably designed that way a billion years ago so even if England lost this finals would be there but it is still dangerously unfair to Italy to send them there, how about playing in Rome? Would that be fine and understandable? I am sure the English would not like that neither.
England play the Euro in their nation. I don't know how it goes like this but of course, it was scheduled since the start of Euro, not before the final match. The schedule does not matter if they can not finish their tasks and have a spot in the final match.Now, please skip all of those things and let's focus to watch & enjoy the final match. It will be great!
The Italian will ensure that those records will not be broken playing 33 matches unbeaten isn't an easy feat, defensively the team is good with the pair of experienced Giorgio Chiellini and Bonucci marshalling their defence lines although playing on England soil (Wembley) is an advantage to the England team however I believe the had what it takes to beat England having been unarguable one of the best team in this competition that is why I voted for them to win the cup the disappointment of not qualifying to the last world cup had paid off for them
Italy want to win it and become a new champion of Euro. Unbeaten record will be useless if they can not win the final match. It matters more than the unbeaten record. Having a record is good but the championship is better.Chiellini will come back to Wembley after 14 years since the last time he stepped on the stadium with U21 Italy.
I voted for England in the poll.
Recently I realized it looks like England have the ability to win the final match, even though before this Euro event started I predicted Italy would be champion and at least my prediction was correct so far. Because with Italy being able to penetrate to the final, at least my prediction is just one step away from becoming a reality.
But somehow after seeing some matches and some considerations I made, my mind changed about Italy as I predicted at the beginning, because this final will be at Wembley then of course England have many chances to win. Also, recently there was news about a covid-19 case from one of the crew or whatever from someone from Italy, I still don't know the truth but at least the issue has had an impact on the team I think.

I have to say where you play doesn't really matter "that" much when you have just one game left. However it is a shame of course to have England national team playing at the Wembley on a finals game, that just doesn't sound fair, I know it was probably designed that way a billion years ago so even if England lost this finals would be there but it is still dangerously unfair to Italy to send them there, how about playing in Rome? Would that be fine and understandable? I am sure the English would not like that neither.In any case Italy is just way too good, they have been playing perfect football for the past 30+ games and I do not think that it will change for this tournament, they have been good waaaaaay before the tournament even started and showed how awesome they are so far as well. I just hope there are no injuries and everyone has fun.
Italy haven't lost in how many games? Isn't it closing in on 30 games now?
Their unbeaten run has extended to 33 matches so far [27 wins and 6 draws].Personally, I'd prefer England to win it but despite playing in Wembley, I have a strong feeling that Italy would come out as winners [collectively, they play smarter].
- I'm expecting a draw in regular time [both teams to score] and Italy winning it in penalties.
The match could turn anyway but I think italy will play fairly well they now face a strong italian side who are still on the roster after the final semi final win over spain which ended in a penalty shootout. Beyond the strong and veteran defensive partnership of giorgio chiellini and leonardo banucci it will be a difficult task for the england forwards, while I have the potential to provide a lot of headaches in a thunderstorm attack from monsini's squad.
