Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Chris B]

They’re at it again trying to blame Stones for the goal. His man was on the deck and stones had him pinned there, so how could it be his fault? Should he take two players out of the game?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Yep, pathetic on Kyle and Phil.

They should be fined for doing it in my opinion.

 

[Kippax77]

Even though we lost slabhead as proved that even if you play for manure with a floppy left arm and court case hanging over you that Harris media will still make you out to be a £100million CB

 

[crooky]

southgate should never be within a million miles of this young england team SHOCKING
route one football and hanging on when we have great young players that are good on the ball

the only thing is the false hope ? it will kill you

Don't worry Ashes AND the World Cup next year.

 

[Totnes Blue]

Southgate is fucking wank probably play 10 defenders ifHe played 9 tonight

He played 9 tonight

Southgate is fucking wank probably play 10 defenders if he could

 

[Mancity1980]

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

I would still give it to Sterling. Although considers Stone’s history he had a faultless tournament.

 

[red 2 hats]

Two shots in 120 minutes says everything you need to know about how shit the waistcoats tactics were.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Well Ukraine apart I thought we looked pretty crap/rank average from match 1. Not remotely surprised we lost, just a bit surprised it took Italy untill extra time to do it.

I'm just a bit gutted I didn't put a few Bob on my pre-tournament prediction of Italy bearing England in the final :-(

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Those Italians in the ground are going to have to adopt a cockney accent pretty quickly if they want to make it home without having the shit kicked out of them.

Sadly you are very likely right........

 

[paulchapo]

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”tropies have become so popular in the sport over the last decade.

They did take them, they just don't want to wear them. You've just lost the biggest game of your life and the country's in 55 years, I'll forgive them a bit of disappointed petulance.

 

[west didsblue]

Ah well. At least we're still top of the European Covid League.

And we’re going to pull well clear after today.

 

[ballinio]

Stones , Walker & Sterling were fantastic in this tournament but Southgate brought the next Utd superstars to be rammed down our throats on to take the glory

 

[Gray]

I don’t think any of us are supporting Italy, but Bobby is a hero to us, so it’s not surprising that we’re congratulating him on winning the competition, especially considering where they were, when he took over.

I agree how can any Blue not have a soft spot for Bobby Manc?

 

[chaddblue]

Man Utd lost the final .. every cloud

 

[ysmsa]

Sterling was England's player of the tournament.

Not for me, great moments but some equally poor ones too.

Calvin-Phillips by a mile, a worthy replacement for Dinho if we can get him.

Imagine Pep coaching him.

 

[mac]

Has anyone won a Euros and a premier league as a manager?

Yes Bobby Mancini

 

[Cons Dad]

England fans must have come close to beating the rags for leaving Wembley quickly at the end.

they are almost as quick as a Scotland team leaving an international tournament............. thats if they qualify

 

[heslops barnet]

Mancini adapted as soon as the second half started. Southgate sat on his hands when he and everyone could see we had lost the midfield. Pep would have seen it aswell. Southgate is a fraud. Congrats to Italy.

Pep would of left it until 74 minute

 

[remember arthur mann]

Excuses coming out now, is this what English football has become.

 

[madloaf]

TBF I thought Shaw and Maguire played well… As did Walker and Stones with Sterling the pick (quiet final.. more to do with tactics though). I actually think the Manchester clubs had the best performers with City obviously edging it. Rashford and Sancho fucked it though.

They didn't, the manager did. But agree with the rest. 34%possession of course our attacking players looked shit. Mount btw was awful for every minute he spent on the pitch this whole tournament, apart from a corner against the Ukraine.
