Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Corky]

Well done Italy - England had a flat track to the trophy like in 1966 but didn't get the luck this time.

Unfortunately this generation of players will be wasted as this clown will probably be given a 5 yr contract.

All on Southgate, to scared of losing to try and win it.

What a shite birthday it's gonna be for me tomorrow now.

It'll be grim in work tomorrow, that's certain.

why why why ...three kids at the end why

Obviously planned.
Did either of the subs even kick a ball?
They were brought on for barely 2 minutes and their first touches are penalties. Not a great preparation.
Slotting them away in training is one thing but that’s not got this kind of pressure.

Listen. Regardless, you have a great squad of players and with or without Southgate I think you will be back again in the next 2-4 years.

I think this England team have shown enough to give reason to believe that there is potential there. First half they were good, completely managed the best team in the tournament.Second half seemed to believe that they could just sit deep and manage the game out. That was stupid. Were those Southgate's instructions? Who knows? But potential for the coming World Cup. With or without Southgate is another matter.

It started before the game. Lock up your Fiat's.

I intend to torch my own Punto blame it on rioters and claim on the insurance - classic Bluemoon advice

 

[madloaf]

Kids?
On a quarter of a million a week

And money ages you? No wonder im so young!!

 

[heslops barnet]

All down to the waistcoat
If we'd have got the win I'd of wanted him gone
Clueless manager with garbage tactics

Didn’t we blame Pep for our CL defeat?

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

No it isnt.

Yes they did

 

[James Morgan]

I'm not happy for Italy, but I'm certainly annoyed that Southgate has wasted a golden opportunity. Had some talented attacking youngsters at his disposal and the only time he made use of them was in the penalty shoot out, when it was too late!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
our bench is the envy of the world. Which is ridiculous, as they should be on the pitch.

 

[VOOMER]

They're kids. Let the men step up. Fucksake.

Southgate choose them, but its nice to see in your reply that you agree they all have no excuse for missing.

 

[EnzoMCFC]

Sterling will get hammered now for not taking one

Over confidence was the Achilles heel.

I thought it was a lack of confidence.

We looked scared to pass the ball forwards. All our attackers shit out of playing football tonight and just wanted to fall over for free kicks.

A total lack of confidence in our performance. Hoped we could hold on to a 0-1 lead.

 

[give it to gordon]

On the plus side I picked the Italian's in the works sweep 25 quid better of now :))

 

[Nightmare Walking]

I have been saying it for years the rags and dippers ruin the England team. I hope Rashford and Sancho get loads of stick up and down the country next season.

Why would you seriously want people to get stick? They missed a penalty FFS.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Hard lines England. You gave your hearts it just wasn’t enough this time. We’ve got the World Cup to play for now.
I’m heartbroken for the whole England team but especially for Raz, John Boy and Kyle.
I’ve cried but the tears were mixed, tears of sorrow for the loss but also tears of pride for their courage and for the pleasure they have given us. My flag will stay out for a few days with pride.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

England once again pile of bottling dogshit

Bobby Manc
Now await the riots

 

[basokla]

Any “fans” happy for Mancini, or the Italians please have a reality check: today is not about rags, dippers or us, it was about England. I am absolutely gutted, club loyalty goes out the window and i am lost for words.

Well, I’m not English. So I guess this “fan” is allowed to be happy for Bobby.

It was a great match. Hated to see either team lose. But Southgate screwed that up. Italy clearly took control after the shock of the early goal wore off.

PS: I took no joy in that dick Jorgihno winning this but I did chuckle when he missed his PK.
