Thanks for being so sporty. But tonight it was a matter of centimeters and when this is the case it means that there are two great teams on the pitch. It wasn't like Italy-Spain 0-4 where they played another sport with Iniesta and Xavi. In a year there are the World Cup and Italy - England will be protagonistsI congratulate the Italians, deserved winners in the tournament. They beat all the best sides and were the better team tonight.
You just know that in a couple of days we'll probably hear that the police are investigating all of them getting racially abused on social media too. Fuck sakeRashford, Sancho and Saka do not deserve the abuse that they are going to get from the reprobates. I hope the rest of the team have their backs.
Letting a 19 year old take the last penalty in a final is a very odd choice. One of the senior players should have just overruled the kid and saved him from the inevitable abuse to come.
Why on earth are sancho Saka and rashford taking pens
OK SpiderSpurs , fancy a bet then?Not with Waistcoat in charge
Stupid to send him out there as the fifth taker anyways. That is why you need to tactical manage pensSaka literally couldn't hit a worse penalty. Perfect height for a keeper. Just brainless.
I'd love to join you in solidarity but I love my carbs too muchI’m never eating pizza or pasta again!
Rashford and Sancho have plenty of experience, played for top clubs in massive games, earn over tens of millions a year, they are perfectly capable of taking pens and handling that situation. Pen shootouts are a lotteryThat was an utterly brutal penalty by Rashford, but you have to wonder why there are two young players stepping up to take responsibility.
???If Italy win this I’m going to the local dominos and doing a shit on the counter!
They say it's down to the players to who wants to take one. I think the manager should decide and just tell a player you're taking one.I have to ask, why are young players taking our pens over our more senior players?
Makes no sense at all.
Classless in the extremeWe're all spurs fans so why come here and abuse us England fans. Jog on.
Did you see the 'huddle' before the pens?What exactly did he bottle? He created England’s only goal, generated a bunch of opportunities for England, and scored in the shootout.
The only bottler here is Southgate.
You're a good guy fog. Congrats and we'll played. Damn those penalties tho right!Thanks for being so sporty. But tonight it was a matter of centimeters and when this is the case it means that there are two great teams on the pitch.

EnglandyJust like watching Spurs, get an early lead then stop playing and try and hold it, then lose on in the most heart breaking fashion imaginable.
Bringing on two players to take pens and they both miss.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Spursy
Me?Classless in the extreme
A bet about what Chris?OK SpiderSpurs , fancy a bet then?
And TrippierDier would have scored
Also are you really Italian, or just one of those my names Italian so I'll go with it pricks.....Were we all spurs fans when I was told to go back to my country the other day?
