Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Hoghead]

So what's missing from the BBC headline.......

Sancho, Jorginho & Saka miss penalties as Italy edge England at Wembley

Watch the decisive final penalties of the dramatic shootout as Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties to win the European Championship after a tense 120 minutes ended 1-1 at Wembley.

Funnily enough the very early goal probably did more harm than good

Waistcoat's plan has been to hold onto leads for dear life the entire tournament. He expected to keep one for 90 odd minutes. That kind of attitude seems to have seeped to the team and affected their hunger and intensity

 

[xgorton]

Man Utd lost the final .. every cloud

Bobby also.

 

[splinter]

Waistcoat gone yet

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.

He rarely passes the ball forwards

 

[manchester blue]

If you think we matched them then you didn't watch the game

It was 1-1 after 120 minutes. Sometimes you have to defend as well. The defence was superb all tournament.

 

[Postman Pep]

Gutted but proud.

f*ck any English supporting Italy tonight.

I'm gutted but fuck anybody accusing people of acknowledging that the best team won of being fifth columnists.

 

[RACHACE]

I feel so bad for Saka. Never taken a penalty in his professional career and is left to take that one.

Someone is at fault here and it's not Bukayo.

Only a tactical genius would put the lad up to take one. Feel for the kid.

 

[Chris B]

Southgates not going anywhere, were going to be fed the bullshit now of how he's that good by getting us to a final,extended contract on the table no doubt, its a shame because this England team has great potential under the right manager

I hope Southgate looks at it and decides either he should go or that he needs to totally overhaul his coaching team with the aim of creating a side that can retain possession.

Pickford
Walker
Stones
Slabhead
Shaw
Rice
Bellingham
Grealish
Foden
Sterling
Kane

That's the fucking side for the World Cup. Don't fuck with it

Six City players in the England side?

Not a chance!

;-)

 

[RayCTID]

Sterling, Stones and Shaw for me

England's defenders were good in general to be fair to them.

 

[hilts]

We all have a go at Maguire on here and he is not the most cultured defender, but he has had a pretty good tournament.

His penalty was a thing of beauty, an absolute blaster that took out the camera.

The whole defence were excellent regardless of what team they play for. I even warmed to Rice and Phillips.

As numb nuts ain't going anywhere he needs to find a better balance for the other positions and also play only one DM sometimes. We created pretty much nothing in 2 hours of football.

 

[mackenzie]

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

And I hope the one with the Pope outfit got changed before he left the stadium!

 

[SidJames]

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.

This.

This game reminded me a bit of that second leg in the Champions League under Pellegrini.

Where you felt there was no real belief we could win.

We scored after 2 minutes tonight,tried to shut up Shop for 88 minutes.

Italy dominated in all areas.

I think even if we hadn't scored early, Southgate game plan was the same.Depressing.

 

[west didsblue]

Shaw, Stones, Slab, Walker, Trippier, Phillips and Rice all good. Italy had a plan to nullify Raz and it worked. Kane started well and faded. Mount was gash.

 

[Jimmieblue]

Clearly the first 5 pen takers had been more or less decided pre-match and they were two of them.

Hard to believe there weren’t more experienced players who would have been happy to step up imo.

 

[Mancity1980]

Watching other nation’s penalty shootouts I always felt that Italy was one we could break our duck again and considering they missed two that could have been the case tonight. We have lost shoutouts scoring way more than two.

The BBC are not fit for purpose.

No sleep problems for me tonight,rag pricks
