Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[mat]

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.

Hate to say it. So would Mourinho with the same tactics.

As far as I am concerned, Beardy Gaz became a rabbit in the headlights (again). He should have reverted to a back 4 at half time when it was obvious Italy were pressuring for an equaliser.
Bring on grealish and get strong possession in the Italian half.
He will look at this game and try to find where the players failed... they didn't fail Gaz, you failed because, essentially, you are a cowardly manager.
And pickford is not international level goalkeeper!!!

Some absolute cunts who follow the national team. Shameful.

Be interesting to see how many of them lose their jobs over that.

Seeing that makes me pleased they lost.

Some fans are shit winners and even shitter losers.

Seeing that makes me pleased they lost.

I wouldn't go as far as that but I am not devestated that the national side has lost the final.

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.

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.

The worst part of this for me is that our English players played the longest time possible and didn’t get the confidence boost if winning a major tournament. Basically the worst possible outcome and Foden is injured

Nah
Can’t agree with that
The later in the tournament you get the better
Italy lost in 2000 and 2012 And last won euros in 1968
They lost World Cup in 1994 (on pens) before winning in 2006 (on pens)
You just got to keep getting to the latter stages and then anything is possible
All the great countries lose finals

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

All very depressing to see

Could have been a scene from 28 days later

28 days later and I don't think we'd have scored a 2nd goal.

Commiserations to Stones, Walker, Foden and Sterling.
