On July 11, the final match of the European Championship 2020 between the national teams of Italy and England will take place. Maxim Kalinichenko, a former football player of Spartak Moscow, offers his forecast for this match.
The long-awaited final of Euro 2020. Italy and England meet in it. Both teams, we can say, did not quite confidently pass into this final stage. Kalinichenko believes that in the semifinals, the Italians looked worse than the Spaniards. But the winners are not judged. A penalty shootout, as they say – is a lottery. And it was "Squadra Azzurra" that drew the lucky ticket.
England, with all its advantage over Denmark, got into the final thanks to the leftmost penalty. That fall of Sterling in the penalty area of the Danes and the referee's decision set up half the world against the "three lions". In the final, everyone, as Kalinichenko thinks, will support Italy, except, of course, the very British, who have already distinguished themselves with their zeal and support for the team. It is not surprising, because it is Wembley in London that hosts all the important matches in which their national team participates.
Nevertheless, Kalinichenko notes that England plays at home, and this is a huge plus. He bets on England's victory with a zero handicap.
