100% agree about Rashford..... Age being 'just a number', he's in the 'experienced' bracket as far as our attackers go..... Ahead of any bar Kane & Sterling.
I wouldn’t have been confident about Henderson tho.

If you needed Saka or Hendo for your life in that situation you would pick Hendo and god knows who would have taken the 6th one! I know he isn’t a forward or goal scorer but in that particular situation when a nation staring at you, you just need the guy who’s been there still available to take one
Whaattt?? H did the leader thing. And it was an ideal opportunity to feel what the penalty area was like …They're blaming Harry for taking the first pen, "he took an easy way out"
Confused now..... You said Henderson should have taken #3.

I think it's always pretty vital you score your first penalty. Anyone without shit for brains would send their best penalty taker up first to convert.
As an external observer: England is very different from Italy90. That was another kick, long ball to the tower. Today with the Premier League which is the best league in Europe and therefore in the world. You have the Guardiolas, the Klopps.
A national team coach cannot make a transfer campaign by buying Messi but he can fish in a large basin. I think Southgate has done a good job: you are finalists, it is France that has failed.
But as mentioned, you have to make better use of an offensive potential equal only to France.
Kane wouldn’t have gotten to shoot.
A few years back Portugal saved Ronaldo for the 5th. They lost the shoot-out before he got to take one.
Yeah I just mean in general yeah I think he should have taken 3
my point in general is he should have been available and in that situation preferred him to take one, I can’t imagine how Saka was feeling, that adrenaline soon turns to fear
I don’t disagree with him but for one factor Italy with Verrati and Jorginho have better passers than we have so I can understand the hesitation to play full throttle all game but England where far to negative in the second half, should have had at least Grealish on.
It’s sad that social media has given the bigots and racists such a voice. They used to crawl back into their holes after something like this and scream at the wall. Now they hurl abuse at players who, if the team was successful, would be directly responsible for success that these scummy people would celebrate.
It’s sickening that there are people in this world who spend their time abusing people they have never met. The saddest part is that these same people would crumble if any similar sort of abuse was directed towards them.

Ahh so addressing racist behavior is just cancel culture?
It's not just the platform though is it?
We have an openly racist prime minister and the US have just got rid of one the same. These people are empowered by their fellow racists making it ok.
Quite. I remember one shootout where Ronaldo was scheduled as the 4th or 5th penalty taker and then they actually ended up losing before it came to that point.
Don't overthink it. Start strong.
Shocking from Southgate. All England needs are better tactics.
