20:40Do the Italians suffer from an English curse? At least, that was the case for this EC. Both at the World Cup ’66 and at the European Championship ’96, which were both organized in England, the group stage became the final station. At this European Championship, the Italians already played twice in London and, as their place in the final reveals, it went well. Although they needed extensions against Austria and Spain was only knocked out in the penalty kicks. Perhaps there is a curse on the Squadra Azzurra on English soil after all? . in advance, 8:40 p.m.

20:21Mancini never played against England, Chiesa never scored against Southgate. The nice thing about two managers with a history as players at the highest level is that they also played against their opponents. Unfortunately, that is not the case for Roberto Mancini. The stylish Italian fell just short of the selection twice in the 80s and at the World Cup 90 he watched from the bench how his compatriots conquered the bronze medal and the English referred to 4th place. Then there’s more to talk about at Gareth Soutgate. He played four times against the Italians, good for one win and two defeats. Against Enrico Chiesa, father of, he never swallowed a goal in international football. . in advance, 8 p.m. 21.

20:03No goal-rich history. England and Italy have looked each other in the eye 9 times in the last 15 years. And to be honest, that didn’t immediately lead to spectacular matches. In those 9 matches, a total of 15 goals were scored, an average of less than 2 hits per game. Since 2012, the two national teams have even kept each other in perfect balance. Each won 2-1 once, twice it was 1-1. At the European Championship 2012, it was also 0-0, but the Italians won after a penalty shootout. . in advance, 8 p.m. 03.
