[Otamendi's Beard]

Chris Rigg is an excellent player from what I've seen so far.

But great goal from the Italian no.10 just now.

Got a bit lucky, but great persistence and balance.

 

[90s blue brother]

Rigg is clear standout, he has nice passing range and looks years ahead of the rest mentally. Sign him up

Mattia Liberali he's called and it was a nice goal very good movement there was certainly luck, some players create their own luck through sheer persistence.
If Alessandro Costacurta's description of him below is true, then the lad might be one to keep a keen eye on...

He's from a place in italy called Carate Brianza.

With the Costacurta praise and this goal, maybe Mattia Liberali is the Carate Brianza Phil Foden...

Or maybe he's the next Hachim Mastour, pure hype and tripe in the Milan academy a decade back who many thought was gonna be world class.

Either way I love that highly respected former pros around the world are already comparing their big talents with Phil, it just goes to shows how immensely talented Phil Foden is we're blessed to have him.

Penalties it is. England just couldn’t get the ball in the net at the end. So many close calls.

Come on Whatmuff.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Advantage Italy.

Italy win 5-3 on pens.

 

[blue whippet]

Our on penalties, a familiar problem. Ah well England had their chances in the second half.

 

[blue whippet]

Pity the poor individual who's penalty was saved, all the other ones put away very well.
