Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Chippy_boy]

Media will go after Raz for not stepping up - after ruining his confidence by calling him a cheat e ery day since the semi.

Well at least they don't have the pleasure of taking the piss that he missed one. Which would have been the inevitable outcome had he stepped up.

We have just lost a Champions League final with a whimper. Everyone could see what the problem was in that and Pep did nothing.

Mancini made loads of subs. How many did we make? I was shocked they didn’t beat us in normal time. It was one way traffic.

Southgate is fucking wank probably play 10 defenders if he could

 

[RayCTID]

Well I thought the city England players had a good tournament, the rags not so much, the dippers? I didn’t even notice any of them.

Sterling was England's player of the tournament.

We lost on penalties. Got to a first final in 55 years. All the people blaming the manager know fuck all about football. We pretty much matched the best team in the competition and a few shit penalties in a lottery lost the final.

I do wonder why we have do many experts on here instead of them managing top class football teams.

Italy gave England a lesson in game management.

Seems like a new trend. It's rude and disrespectful

it looks terrible. Just been given it and off it comes.

The silver lining is hopefully is destroys Sancho and he’s a flop at United. however i suspect he doesn't give two shits having watched him on the England euros training clips. just seems more interested in how he looks and twatting about.

Poor Marcus. at least the knighthood is delayed.

in fact its comforting to return to hating United players.

He’s a 21 year old kid. No need to be nasty about him.

Southgate was outsmarted by a better manager , we had the better players and a stronger bench , every player Italy brought on made them weaker and TheYesman sat on hands and did f*ck all , Henderson hasnt played a game for 6 months and comes on before Grealish , f*cking stupidity.
Southgate is Teflon , he has a generation of brilliant young attacking talent and he plays to stay in games , with seven defensive outfield players , bring Eddie Howe in with enough experience , great young manager who lets his teams play football

 

[blue by birth]

Yes I’d agree. I just feel very uncomfortable with anyone bringing race into the equation.

As I said I think he was making a point that because they aren't white means the haters will hate..
I felt sorry for Saka as I don't think he should have been taking a pen.. Should have been the more experienced players.. Down to Southgate not the kid

 

[andyhinch]

They already have.

How ?

 

[super_city_si]

Fuck me May as well have ferdinard as manager. Hes just as clueless

 

[basokla]

Why?? Nobody wants a fucking runners up medal, it means Jack shit.

Yeah, no shit. Nobody wants it. But you act like a man and take it instead of a petulant child.

I guess this is why “participation” trophies have become so popular in the sport over the last decade.

 

[Sky Blue]

Well I thought the city England players had a good tournament, the rags not so much, the dippers? I didn’t even notice any of them.

I noticed Henderson being fucking shite.

 

[remember arthur mann]

WTFs this Bawl thing.

Sterling was England's player of the tournament.

Not for me. Thought he was woeful tonight, Stones didn’t put a foot wrong all tournament.

 

[Gray]

We had a stronger deeper squad. Better management won it. After HT we didn’t have any answers to their change in tactics and it looked like there would only be one winner. No blame for the players. Poor management and tactics and no thinking on his feet by Waistcoat.

Mancini kept attacking until fairly late on. He knew that he could beat us on penalties.

 

[lancs blue]

That’s because Liverpool isn’t IN England.

Think you quoted the wrong post!

 

[tweety]

Didn’t we blame Pep for our CL defeat?

There's no comparison between Pep and the Waistcoat, he's tactically useless and a coward. England's players must be hugely pissed off having to play those tactics. I can't think of one team that plays like that so why tell the team to follow those tactics.

 

[baggy]

On the plus side,you can see we have the best technical English players.

I think the City players had a great tournament.

Kind of ironic those Rag penalties sum up the Rags in general.A team full of players that think they are better than they actually are.Technically they are fucking awful,flatter to deceive.

Tbf to the rags they haven't had much practice as rat faced penandez hogs them all...

 

[Xhavenjoe]

No need to put the blame on the players.
Missing penalties after playing 3 mins of football isn't letting anyone down.

Southgate was too hesitant making changes and the penalty subs (emulating OGS) was a daft thing to do.

I'd be interested to know if this tactic is statistically successful.

I recall Brazil doing it with Zico in the World Cup and that didn't work out too well.
