Summary
Hola
The last time England met Italy at a major tournament was in the first group game of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Italy won 2-1 that day, thanks to goals from Balotelli and Marchisio.
One of our Socios posed a challenge: Which player from the England and Italy teams from 2014 would make the current teams?
Never one to shirk a challenge, this is my response...
Enjoy

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody my name is Martin Greg and from backpage you're listening to the big |
| 0:09.7 | interview with Graham Hunter at the Euros it's the day before the final of Euro 2020 and I'm not |
| 0:15.8 | going to call it Max Day minus 1 but Graham Hunter is on the line to discuss England Italy. |
| 0:20.4 | Now Graham we've got a nice steamed coming up, but I just want to check in about |
| 0:25.3 | tomorrow night's game. And I think generally the right two teams are in the final and it's probably |
| 0:30.4 | a 50-50 game. Yeah, I'm not angry about who's in the final. |
| 0:33.7 | There's been times when I've thought, |

| 0:38.1 | I've said all I want to say about Azerbaijani Linsman |
| 0:41.4 | and Jeff Hurst and Rahim Sterling and penalties and whatever. |
| 0:45.6 | There was a much, I think, around the country, there's been a much fiercer debate about the |

| 1:01.2 | night against Denmark they outplayed them they made some |
| 1:05.0 | seriously good chances and I don't have a complaint at all that England came out |
| 1:10.4 | of that semi-final and what's more I agree with your idea about it being 50-50 and I won't be |
| 1:15.8 | shocked to fitly win it but I have a sense of not just a sense of inevitability |
| 1:20.1 | I have a sense that, for example, that penalty confirmed, like I said the other night, England's |
| 1:27.5 | gradual ascension into getting |
| 1:34.0 | decisions, |
