Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[M Gaudino]

i’m totally baffled. Surely Southgate envisaged who he would have on the pitch and think about who’d be the best mix of skill and experience for taking penalties.

You have to factor in youth as a negative in taking a penalty. look at Mbappe. one of the best players in the word but looked like his arse was gonna fall out when walking up the other day.

Kane
Henderson
Rashford

all have taken penalties regular

Sterling
Maguire
Shaw
Walker
Grealish
Rice

all experienced players

Who would you NOT want on them? 2 players hardly out of their teens, one of whom hasnt featured in the tournament.

Why the fuck did Saka take the last penalty?

Great player in open play, but every man and his dog knew he was too young and not the right player to score a pen

He was gash from the moment he came on

Congratulations Italy - the best team won

Simple as.

Well deserved.

 

[James Morgan]

Maybe he wasn’t told
To take one?

I don’t know, maybe you’re right. The penalties were a travesty.

 

[Beanhead]

Would have liked Sterling off before the pens.. it’s got his fault written all over it.

Happy days.. weren’t his fault.. two raggies and a child that shouldn’t have been taking one.. let alone the last must score one.

Unbelievably bad managing, couldn’t believe it when those two came on. There must be pressure coming from somewhere to get Manure players in the picture. Saka will take the blame in the media.

Why is SAKA taking a penaty ? He's not a great striker of the ball.

Southgate cost us this. We have the better players, but worse manager. What a waste Southgate. At least happy no one can blame Raheem.

Instead of blaming southgate, media will now focus on those who missed the penalties.

 

[01cravend]

This talent needs a better manager.. Southgate good at setting us up not to lose but we could be so much better.

 

[Gray]

Simple fact is we were elated to reach a final for the first time in 55 years............job wasn't even done but we were chicken counting

All the cobblers in the papers and media leading up to the match. A load of utter tosh.

No they don't, Southgate picked them. Also their *ucking professionals.

They're kids. Let the men step up. Fucksake.
