Sir Geoff, 79, said: “What are our chances? Good.
“We have got a very good team, we’ve been doing very well, well managed, and right from the start I’ve felt we had a good bunch of players, a lot of very good young players.
“I always felt we had a chance and that hasn’t changed. I always felt right from the beginning the team that beat Italy would win it because they are very strong as well.
“I think the best two teams are in the final. (Playing) against a great country in Italy, and a great footballing nation, it should be a great final.
“I predict it is going to be a very tight game between two fantastic teams.
“I can’t see a a 4-2 scoreline like we saw in 66. That would be a big shock really.
“You can’t see either team conceding that amount of goals. It will be very hard – as it’s proved for the last 55 years – for a player to score three.
“But I’ve had a great record and someone’s got to do it (one day).
“But it’s not about an individual scoring three. It is just about, as it has been right the way through, a great team winning.
