Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[hilts]

Feel sorry for the players they gave it everything throughout the tournament. No point trying to read too much into the penalties it is what it is.

Southgate is wank though. Italy had the better manager and that showed. Its not the players fault he has no spine. England lose but playing football wins.

Do England actually practice taking penalties like clever twats in training ?

Or is it just a Rag thing that takes over rational thought ?

"I know i will do a Run, Walk,stop,pause try and make the Keeper look stupid...........Oh fuck i forgot i am not at the Swamp....shit i missed".

Firstly, Southgate doesn't even trust Sancho/Rashford to change the game in 90 mins/ET yet he trusts them shoulder all the pressure of taking the crucial pens fuck outta here that piss poor management why didn't he give it to players like grealish or even sterling.

Secondly, Mount should never see another minute on that pitch for England again. "Oh but we need mount for his defensive awareness and tackling" get the crap out of here, you're already playing a back 5 with 7 defensive players how much more defending do you need????

Mount was absolute wank the whole tournament

Sancho & Saka’s were completely telegraphed pens at perfect height.

Rashford’s unlucky.

It's not unlucky when a professional footballer misses a penalty.

Kids under pressure. How many young men at 18 have gone into battle, and not wilted.

And how many did wilt?
It's pressure, in any situation, people don't deal with it as well as they'd like to

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Lineker: We know how good Rashford is, we've seen him take many penalties, and Sancho is an incredibly gifted young footballer.

Wio: Sancho will go up there [pens] because he's got a care free attitude, he's young, he's hungry, he likes the responsibility, he likes the stage.

[Brewster's millions]

Jude Bellingham is 18

I’m absolutely disgusted at those who took their medals off.

Down to Rashford , should have stayed in the kitchen

Silly Sally hates your post

 

[jaiguruKun]

Rashford, Sancho and Saka stepped up: takes balls to do that.

No, Southgate decided who was taking them.

 

[Chris B]

The two subs he brought on for pens missed. Both rags, as for the last pen Saka? Why? Surely a more experienced player should have used.

I always think it must double the pressure when you’re brought on as a specialist penalty taker. Anyhow, the best team won.

I just hope we become a bit more proactive as a team after this. We’ve seen twice now, against good teams in the later stages of tournaments, you can’t try defend a lead for ninety minutes. You need to be able to get hold of the ball and keep it, and you need midfielders who are footballers first and defenders second to do that. Rice and Philips are both decent but playing them both together is so negative.

Taking the medals off. What a bunch of cunts.

My pet fucking hate in football

 

[supersonicblue]

As much as my loyalties lie north of the border, didn’t want to see you lose like that. Bring on Qatar 2022

 

[ysmsa]

When you buy your penalty takers from Joom!

(tried to load my photo of Gasford & Sancho waiting to come on but it wont load)

 

[BigJoe#1]

Yes, saka the united player scores..we win..

I think you'll find that would have levelled the competition, still they left him a lot to do.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Donnaruma player of the tournament? Because he made a few penalty saves? Fucking hell that's a shit choice. There's about half a dozen Italians alone that has been better.

That's incredible. Chiesa, if anyone. Terrific player.

 

[mat]

If I were Italy I'd grab the trophy and run to the bus before the riots start.

Already started here.

Nottingham city centre is being trashed.

 

[Gray]

Scored after 2 minutes, then created nothing for the rest of the game.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Kane still waiting for his first trophy, fuck me hes jinxed

 

[jaiguruKun]

Once again, the team that missed first won.

It’s amazing how often that happens.

Italy missed first though.
