Italy... I think we have a decent chance as long as we dont get ideas above our station and suddenly think we can play expansive, attractive football or anything ludicrous like that.

Completely agree. We're riding our luck a bit, too, but compared with the times we've had no luck at all, I'll take it.
Italy is winnable but, as you say, we'll have to play the way we did against Spain in the pre-tournament friendly, and France last week if we're to have any chance. I trust Hodgson not to lose his head and try for a Hollywood display (thank God we got him instead of Redknapp.)
France's result is a real shock, though.
