Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Jamo Mcfc]

Won’t ever understand bringing players on for penalties, so so much pressure on there shoulders knowing you’ve come on just to take a penalty.
saka taking the 5th pen too, where are the senior players? The mind boggles.

Still, massively proud but utterly gut wrenching

 

[SidJames]

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.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Fucking hell. We all hate united. But get a fucking grip. They are kids and Southgate should never have asked them to take penalties.

Their professional footballers on 100’s of thousands of pounds ffs

Lineker: We know how good Rashford is, we've seen him take many penalties, and Sancho is an incredibly gifted young footballer.

Wio: Sancho will go up there [pens] because he's got a care free attitude, he's young, he's hungry, he likes the responsibility, he likes the stage.

[both miss]

While on RTE Liam Brady made the comparison between this and the Spanish manager taking Pedri off while playing great, perhaps to spare an 18year old the pressure of a penalty shoot out in a semi final.

Regardless of the two subs being brought on just to take penalties, did he really have to let Saka take the last one?

Hindsight is 20/20 vision I suppose. We’d be calling Southgate a genius if it worked, I suppose.

Mancini vs Southgate. Seems evenly matched.

Apparently this wasn't true.

 

[M12Blue]

Lampard watching a different game, maguire exceptional, thought his distribution was shocking

Yep, and they're still kids.

 

[BlueTG]

Not true. Run himself into the ground in most matches before tonight.

Doesn’t mean he wasn’t shit.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

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.

I agree, why is a 19 year old being given the 5th penalty in an international final? Where are the leaders and experienced players?

 

[Beanhead]

There are wiser eating grass ffs,why even go on there ..

because I felt the need to see their ridiculous take on proceedings. It delivered.
