England have never won or reach the Euro final before with Euro 2020 being their first final since winning the world cup in 1966 while Italy won the championship once in 1968 though the Azzurri do have four world cups to their name and were runners up in 2000 and 2012.
Both nations have been impressive, Italy have been tagged favorite after they ran riot in their group stage with a record of 33 games unbeaten while the Three Lion’s have also been decent but their defensive record has been the best conceding just one goal in the competition. If England are to end 55 years of drought they need to be convincing playing the best team in the competition. A worthy opponent ‘THE AZZURRI’ so beckons the popular phrase being rephrased, Is football coming home or will it be heading to Rome?
