Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Bill Walker]

And………..why would you put the pressure of the final kick on a 19 year old who never should have been on the pitch in the first fucking place

Gotta say it's shite when senior players put that responsibility on a kid.

And..
England had every advantage under the sun to win this.
Home games, crowds etc

Agreed. Inexcusable. Sure, Italy have a fine side and a great manager but they were there for the kill

I wouldn’t even say Italy have a fine side. Their squad certainly does not have the talent other teams did this tournament imo. But they play for each other and actually seem to have a plan. Can’t say so much for England where it seems no one know what roles they need to play.

Foden over Saka and Grealish over Mount and it would've really come home. Oh well.

I’m still trying to relax a little post game, should probably stop drinking and let it go……however. This on top of the Chumps league final and that weird team selection… maybe hockey or baseball or curling might be in my future

So it came down to a few players trying to cement a 'trademark' runup. Thank fuck it wasn't city lads.

Here are the BBC highlights. Skip to the pens, they miss our friends from Trafford's misses.....

Dogging?

Walker and Shaw should've took pens.
But Boregate decided.

Awful game and tactics,we parked the bus in a Euro final - A final we got to predominantly because fate was kind.

Southgate is a nice bloke,but as his in game management and odd decisions proved........a top class manager he isn't.

Disappointed with the penalties,but at least those lads that stepped up had the character and bollocks to do so.

We should have won that tournament,we had both the team spirit and the individual talent to ensure such.

Congratulations to the Italians,Mancini schooled our dullard,he knew what was required,he made the right calls,and he ensured his team were not walking off that pitch without the trophy.
