FA paid FIFA to give England easier path

Italy had to play Austria > Belgium > Spain
England had to play Germany > Ukraine > Denmark
root for england to lose

i mean, theres no way you're considering germany easy? they're definitely not easy. though i will say italy definitely had a harder path, with belgium and spain. austria is not good

either way, denmark got robbed today, that we can agree on. that was not a pen.

wasnt a penatly lmao. England getting lucky

First off, if Eriksen was there, chances are the game would have been more intense and Denmark might have gotten in the finals
Second, Italy clapped Austria with their eyes closed, and Spain wasn't even all that good, they just play really dirty and was more focused on breaking some Italian kneecaps rather than make goals. Only Belgium gave Italy a run for their money.
And finally, England knows how to get a foul or 2 called for, so idk what ppl expected

spain literally went to penalties vs italy

still, they are talking about how spain played, which is dirty dirty dirty, but even then spain not as mentally strong as italy so not as much of a challenge as belgium

spain literally went to penalties vs italy

Spain would have went to fight the entire Italian team, o wait

THEY TRIED DOING THAT

This happens all the time, they have someone who works in FIFA. Go through every group stage they get the easiest teams. Imagine France, germany and Portugal were all in the same group LMAO

Pickford now looks like Hitler wtf

+1 on Belgium was the only real test for Italy so far.
