I usually agree and as a CMNT fan with no external national team affiliation still don't typically pull for England but I think I'd like to see them win this time. Southgate is somebody I have grown to respect a lot tactically and the way he goes about his business. Classy understated guy who has taken way too much criticism for his tactics from a pundits who have won nothing internationally.
Also though Sterling sometimes teeters on the brink, the team lacks a player I really dislike like gazza or Beckham in years past. Love you as a country italy, but would be more fun to watch England win at home as a neutral this go round.
Ps - sterling 100% dove, minimal contact, no way that was a penalty though haha
