Anyone who didn't feel a bit sorry for Italy as they celebrated and then realised they were actually out must have a heart of stone.

Guess that includes me then!

Biggest laugh of the tournament when the goal-scorer ran to the bench, only for his smile to turn to horror when he found out!

I've no sympathy whatsoever for teams who insist on trying to bore the opposition & the fans to death by sitting on a 1-0 lead...

Italy were a poor team for the 1st 2 1/2 games & so are out on merit

For later predictions, I fancy Dave Becks to win the final for us against France in the last minute with a customary free-kick, in true Jonny Wilkinson style.

He's gonna kick it over the bar? Hope not!

Hope he remembers he's not doin an Adidas ad...

Don't think we'll get through - we need to stop givin away free-kicks around the box

Portugal 2-1 England AET

Seeing as we always need a scapegoat I'm going to choose David James.

I'm plumping for Bobby "Kiss of Death" Robson. These aren't actual quotes but they're close...

Clive Tyldesley: "How's the heart condition, Robert?"

Bobby Robson: "It's alright because I think we'll win. We'll see off this dangerous free-kick and play out the last two minutes"

10 secs later : France 1 v 1 England

CT: "Is a draw a fair reflection, Bobby?"

BR: "We just need to keep hold of the ball now, not do anything silly and 1-1 is a good result for us"

10 secs later: France 2 v 1 England

You forgot the one where with about 10min left, they said

"England have never won an opening match in the European Championships"

As soon as they said it i thought "Oh f***. We're doomed"

On the other hand, it's shown the other teams that France are beatable, just need to keep your concentraion for the full 90mins... & not miss pens

Rovers 1-0

Dunn amazingly recovers from injury & fatness & scores an o.g. pen in front of the Blackburn End!

If not then another high-scoring end of season game like the last 2 seasons - Rovers 3-0 (esp if Taylor's in defence)
