England the better team.
England are at home.
First time Italy have been behind at Euro.
Italy are capable of scoring and had more shots.
Southgate choice of Trippier worked.
Mancini though will do something.
Mount needs to do more.

Spain won one game all tournament in 90 mins.. v Slovakia.

Busquets as lone DM would have been destroyed by players England would target at him.

Impressive Catenaccio by England so far.

Portugal 2016, France 2018, England 2021, Real Madrid under Zidane, Barca under Lucho, Liverpool, Chelsea.

Those are all teams mostly with good defense and some magic upfront.
And with a lot of running.
Dwelling on the ball in middle wasn't a factor.

Possession wins in league tournaments.
Strong defense + clinical finishing win in KO tournaments after 2012.

You forgot to mention it’s the fault of Pep’s Barca/VdB Spain that caused the defensive shift or at least accelerated the shift
