I hope very much that I am wrong about the outcome of tonight's game. Peter is right. There is a large amount of luck involved in football - and indeed, the luckless Ukranians deserve to be in the quarter final more than England. Having said that, I am delighted to see England there. The Germans are hoping for an England win, because they believe (probably rightly) that it would give them a much easier semi-final. However, it is a one off and if England show some of the form and spirit they showed against France and Sweden, they could have a chance. They will also need a large slice of luck. The realistic part of me says that Italy have better football players, so they should win! We will all be wiser tomorrow!
