Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[bobbyowenquiff]

Also very surprised Henderson was subbed off. Surely a senior player, club captain and midfield ball player is expected to be able to take a penalty better than someone else on the pitch? You have to assume he's said he won't take one as otherwise, surely he's one of your first 5, yet instead he's subbed off to avoid taking one at all? Very odd

Why bring him on at all? We needed to win the game.

Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Nigel Ferarge, your boys…. to soon ;-)

 

[Mike Cledford]

Why has slabhead started pulling the legs of his shorts for corners? If he thinks it will make him as good as Dias he is more stupid than l thought.
It's a bit idiosyncratic by Ruben but a grown man copying it is plain weird.

 

[burning blue soul]

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

No, he is not. You need to wake up to how goalkeeping has changed. Saving shots is not just the gameplan anymore.
Would you say the same about a central defender that defends well but never goes up for a corner?
Pickford is limited, in every way except shot stopping.

Someone has just walked past my flat singing "You can shove your fucking pasta up your arse!"

Still taste the same tho

Surely a wum post

Phillips is fucking awful. Was useless out there tonight and dogshit for all but one game. Bellingham is two, three times the player he is

Why are you quoting what I said.

If you think Henderson was still on the pitch then you weren't paying attention were you?
Can't disagree with the general criticism of Southgate; especially keeping one of the best young players of modern times on the bench.
Ask any genuine supporter of a Premier League club if they'd like Southgate as their next manager and I think you'd get a good idea of the public perception of his capabilities.

If you're referring to Foden he wasn't on the bench. Injured.

 

[BimboBob]

Some absolute cunts who follow the national team. Shameful.

That's England fans inside trying to stop the shithouses breaking in via the disabled access.

You of all people should check before posting such rubbish.

Hi Eidur [emoji16]

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Has anyone seen an interview with the winning manager yet?

 

[xgorton]

well people who take the national team that seriously don't support teams that win anything, so they get a bit too wound up about it.

Right wing Brexiteers,coonts all of them.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Pickford is nowhere near the international level of goalkeeper required to win a tournament.

He saved as many penalties as the winning GK. Without him we wouldn't have got to extra-time.

 

[hilts]

Hopefully Southgate learns from this and has a decent WC next year.

What do you think he has learnt? Serious question no agenda

 

[Legal Alien]

Just got home, but we got what deserved...nothing!

Two shots on target, one in the 2nd minute!...for being in a final, that's a joke!

Why bring on two players so late and let them take penalties when they've barely touched the ball??

Shite tactics, Shite manager, he got lucky from the piss easy games he played, up to the final.
He is so out of his depth, it ain't funny...get rid now or another generation of talent will be wasted!

 

[jaiguruKun]

If it was just a knock for Foden surely it would have been worth the risk to play him with a few good old fashioned painkillers in such a big game. They were crying out for him to occupy the spaces that Kane was doing so well in the first half.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Still can't fathom how he decided to start Sterling on the right. Especially when the link up between him and Shaw was the cornerstone of earlier success.

 

[andyhinch]

Why are you quoting what I said.

I’m predicting some broken biscuits over the next hour, probably mostly from me ;-)

 

[Fordyboy46]

Shame on the senior England players who didn't step up for a pen, bottlers

 

[ray21]

Rashford was like a seagull tapping for worms on his penalty run up fkn shite.

He's cemented his place now. All the media narrative is how great he is.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Foden?

He's never played that role for us. He may be able in the future, but not now.
