Didn't realize you were a soccer fan as well!
BTW, Mount did play. He actually started and played the full 90 minutes. Was subbed off for Foden shortly into extra time.
The penalty was so soft, and it's classic Sterling to go down like that. With that said, if you sit back and invite pressure like Denmark did in extra time, you are asking for trouble. The final should be fun. I have really enjoyed watching Italy this tournament, and I think they will win.
I am excited to watch the key battles in midfield. Specifically how Rice and Phillips will try and contain Verratti and Jorginho. The speed of England's attack may give Italy some issues. Spinazolla would have been ideal for this match, but Emerson looked lively for moments against Spain, and I think he will do just fine.
