I think this game could end up with a draw within 90 mins since England are likely to play as they did in the group stages. Hogdson wants his players to replicate the way Chelsea played in the Champions League - the Italian style. I also think Italy be more careful this time and wont attack as they did to Spain since this is a knock out stage.
England have 4 wins and one draw under Roy Hodgson, but they face biggest test yet against Italy. Italy will come into this match on the back of a slightly better head to head record (9-6-7).
The two teams are quite balanced if compare the defensive compartments, both are solid, England could have a slight advantage in front with Rooney back in the squad, but I think the better midfield is Italy’s.
I think about a draw result here and both team will have extra time. I pick under
EURO 2012. Germany will have chance to watch directly their opponent in semi final. England or Italy, both national teams have good players, by my opinion, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is one of the best on this tournament, wont be easy for England to score a goal. Both sides will play defensive, a draw result sounds as reality in regular time.
my pick: draw

my pick: Under
A heavy game. Both team set very defensive. The Italians are now trying to win, to play the half final against Germany. England again with Rooney and a compact team. The game against Ukraine has shown me that they are very good in defense and sovereignty can win. Italy is known for good defense. They will now do everything in order. For me at last a tight match which can not decide after 90 minute
I don't think there will be more than 2 goals in thins clash. Both teams are defensive and well organized at the back. Important thing is not to allow first goal in their own net. History says that Italy has won a lot more often then England. No matter what roster Italy sends on some major competition they always do well cause they are good competitors. Baloteli if he plays Brits could easily provoke him and he could explode and get a card. Draw is most likely but under is a safe choise.
Englad have slightly advantage according to bookies and I think this is fine. But I don't think that they will manage to win after 90 min. Italian deffense will know how to stop them and I expect 0:0 after regular time. In overtime could be a monimal win of England

Difficult we will see a final winner in a regular time. They will play carefull , but if they get goal any side than should be more goals what is not necesary if dont. Maybe we will see the first game with 0:0. If they stoped Rooney , or in the outher side 2 danger atackers.
I think this will be very close game. Neither of this two teams show some fialir in thier games during this championship and they both playing to keep score. From 6 games England and Italy played on this championship, only game of England against Sweden end with many goals. I see very careful game from both teams and draw after 90 minutes
