****England v Italy Euros FINAL 11/07/21 8pm*****

Southgate's getting the business from fans.

Oh my.

 

[Ginolaflair]

Never said he does, but if that was Kane he would.

I just stated facts about Saka

I didn't say you were being vitriolic.

 

[meaningless-friendly]

Can't blame Saka for the 5th. As soon as I saw it was him, I yelled dear god.

He was beyond horrendous the entire game. Should have been subbed.

I agree, the nerves clearly got to him in normal time, how the fuck someone didn't step up in front of him to take it. I have more issues with people like Grealish who didn't fancy it, and let some kid go and take on instead. Surely Henderson should have stayed on to take one, he is one of the most experienced players and a leader in the group.

 

[Doom Funk]

Dier would have scored

Dier would have fucked up multiple times in normal time and we wouldn't have made it to pens

 

[Bazali]

Where was wonder boy Greasedpish hiding??

[Ginolaflair]

They deserved to win it but we had such a good opportunity. Southgate waited a bit too long for the subs.
I knew Rashford was going to miss it with his silly run up. Just run up and smash it in the net.
I shouldn't be digging out the players but Saka was appalling, one of the worst performances by any player. He should have been subbed at extra time. I can't believe he let anywhere near penalties. He was in way over his head.

Rashford pens look gash. Saka was poor and sterling disappeared

 

[Col_McCafferty]

Fuck football

 

[ArcspacE]

This bird Emma on ITV is talking nonsense.

What did she say?

 

[FightingIllini]

Donnarumma really played an enormous factor there. You really had to be taking pens the way Kane and Maguire did to take him out of the equation.

 

[sudoku]

Just like Jose Mourinho for Spurs the players let Gareth down.
But IMO Mount should not have started and should not have continued.

 

[Radical Rei]

Well all I can say is thank fuck one of ours didn't miss.....

 

[ElTel]

Do we still get a bank holiday?

 

[ChrissyWaddleShares]

Three penalties taken by people who don’t want to copy Foden’s haircut, I think you’ll find.

 

[Bazali]

I agree, the nerves clearly got to him in normal time, how the fuck someone didn't step up in front of him to take it.

Not for me

I wouldn’t have brought the gobby cunt on in the first place

 

[Ginolaflair]

I bet Kane, after Schmeichel saved his "clever" penalty, spent all week after training smashing it low and hard, bottom left hand corner where a tall keeper is least likely to get it.

Slabhead also had a plan, to smash it high, which is riskier than Kane's technique, but at least it's decisive.

But the others, for all the talk of practice, seemed to make it up as they went along.

Henderson is a wanker, but an experienced club captain wanker. And for me, you want a player with that kind of experience taking pens, not teenagers who - esp in poor Saka's case - looked nervous and overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all.

This

 

[Football Chap]

Never rated the Euros anyway. All about world cup next year

 

[yes]

We haven't played well in this tournament. We have been solid that's all. Gary has got away with criticism because we got the results despite the performances

Tonight was just like watching Spurs of last season play. Very negative, sat back for large portions of the game inviting pressure, whilst creating very little going forwards.

We paid the price for playing negatively. We lost the game in the second half.

 

[bonaspur23]

Southgate was absolutely horrendous all game as well. Terrible approach to the 2nd half, terrible subs except for Grealish (who should have been earlier), terrible PK takers.

Maybe he doesn't take penalties as he can't throw himself to the ground??

 

[thinktank]

Not sure Southgate can stay after this.

Fans are going apeshit.
