Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[burning blue soul]

he’s been brilliant for England

He is a good shot stopper. But goalkeeping has moved on. He cannot distribute a ball to save his life.
Long ball... long ball.... long ball.. everytime conceding possession. We need a better keeper.

 

[samuelyeboah]

penalties aside, england today played so unbelievably cowardly and pathetically and it's entirely the manager's fault

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

All the talented England players and we still resorted to hoofing it long to Harry Kane.

Typical England.

I cannot believe there is still a Harry Kane thread. He is fucking shite.

an English Sibierski

We handled the game well initially, scored a good early goal and they looked rattled in the 1st half. However the 2nd half was absolutely wank. We sat off and allowed Italy to completely control the game and low and behold they got the equaliser.

Personally I was kaking myself as I thought Italy would crack on and win the game in the 90 but they didn't. We even got handed more luck in the fact that both Chiesa and Insigne had to be subbed who looked very dangerous in that 2nd half.

I felt extra time was a real opportunity for us to regain control of a game that we completely lost control of had Southgate had made the right substitutions. He didn't and we sleep walked into a penalty shootout where young shoulders were chosen to handle that pressure.

Bit mad really considering the opportunity.

Judging by his interview would not surprise me if he quits.

The FA love him.

He's exceeded their expectations financially. He's staying with a payrise.

Looking forward to Foden, Phillips & co going forward from this.

 

[red 2 hats]

Matterface is almost at the vinegar stroke taking about Rashford's superb penalty techniques....

To be fair it is a great technique, dance, stop, don't look at the ball, hit tamely against the post. Can see it taking off.

No. I want my goalies to save shots first. He's been faultless.

Some absolute cunts who follow the national team. Shameful.

 

[Manciniera]

I am not buying in to all the hype.

Lets be honest, the only reason we found our self in a final is because all European heavy Weights are transitioning.

We will not have a better chance for a long time.

That is the reality.

Plucky England beating the worst German side in recent memory, and Ukraine the European equivalent of Norwich City,then that soft penalty against Denmark.

Perspective.

Could not put it better… very lucky to get to final.

 

[Cons Dad]

That the best you can come up wit

not really but clearly the best that scotland & their fans can do

 

[Burtonblue]

Scenes outside the ground truly shocking.
Wonder how many scouse in that crowd…

Tbf we are improvimg each tournament, and the squad is young.

It's a bit like us winning the Carabao every year though. Absolutely shite teams till the very end. Only were mint and usually put the last team away for the win

Soon as England play a well organised team with actual tactics and half decent players. They're fucked.

Entire management needs an overhaul. Pep or Klipperty would have this England squad winning everything.

 

[northendenton]

That the best you can come up with.lol.

Yea he had to put in 2 nights and a sunday overtime to come up with that

Shocking.a manager wasting this abundance of talent .

you are to blame Southgate 100%

we are 1 up and you literally wanted to bring on more defenders all game, we had no out ball all game

kane , mount and sterling shocking all game you did nothing to change it

trying to defend a 1 nil lead from 3 minutes .

bringing on 2 specialist penalty takers at the end both of who missed the pens.

allowing a kid to take the crucial penalty when grealish, Henderson and sterling still on the pitch .

conference manager in a suit.

Kane was pretty impressive, it’s not his fault that we were so camped in our own half all game that he didn’t get a chance to play higher up the pitch. Sterling didn’t have his best game. Mount was anonymous and I don’t really see what he offers. Saka was worse when he came on - maybe he had penalties in the back of his mind all game (knowing he was up the list to take one).

 

[D'Silva]

Surely a no brainier to support current city players or manager against former city players or manager. Will you be cheering for Sancho when he plays for United?

What a stupid question! I'd support Spain even without a single City player/manager VS a side littered with City players and manage by Pep.

Some absolute cunts who follow the national team. Shameful.

Seeing that makes me pleased they lost.

Klippety would have them all kanckered and injured months before the tournament.

That was pre match the one inside are match paying ticket holders trying to repel the jibbers and kick em out.

Could have been a scene from 28 days later tbf
