I cringed.
Whether you agree with him or not, it is really not arrogant to believe that England is the best team in the tournament.Is it just me that finds his arrogance unbearable. Asked last night who he thought England would prefer in the final, he said England would easily beat both. Is that the Italian side that has conceded one goal in 90 minutes and is unbeaten in 33 games Rio?
He’s not a current player. If he thinks we will comfortably win the tournament he’s allowed to say that. For what it’s worth I agree as do many others. We could all be wrong including Rio but I hope not , I thought it was rather refreshing see a pundit be so confident and bullish with his opinionLots of comments here totally ignoring the fact i had a problem with him saying we would easily beat either teams. I dont mind confidence, but sorry, very few matches in semi finals or finals are ‘easy’. So yes that is arrogance
I agreed with him. My confidence increased watching last night's game. Both sides looked very beatable with those performances. I think we'll struggle more against Denmark than we will against Italy.Lots of comments here totally ignoring the fact i had a problem with him saying we would easily beat either teams.

i think he a decent bloke and a pretty good analyst but to me he looks facially like a Simpson's characterI have really warmed to Rio since he stopped playing. His personal storyline hasn’t been an easy one either. As a pundit he talks common sense generally, I think he is confident rather than arrogant. He is one of the good guys that i like listening to. That said I do wish he’d shave his beard off, it makes him look like he is wearing one of those awful facial masks Nina Conti uses in her act.
