Final: Italy vs England

[Redfrog]

Why send a 19 years old and 2 players who did not play to shoot pens ?
Don’t blame the players. Southgate is a coward and he is sending young boys to fall instead of him.

 

[antohan]

In what planet do you have a kid shooting fifth? Was Southgate on a mission to find a new penalty miss poster boy to replace him?

 

[Escobar]

Fell sorry for the 3 guys who missed, this will be tough. Stupid to come on only for pens though. This is on the manager, way too passive

 

[bdspeedy]

SOUTHGATE YOU FECKING KNOB!!!! What a waste of skin. How can he do this to these kids?

 

[Le Red]

Southgate wanted penalties so bad, there you got. Put a lot of teenagers in the highest pressure situation possible, well done!

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

It shouldn’t have come down to a 19 year old

Too much pressure. He's a child

 

[Ralaks]

Well deserved, England didnt want to play after their goal.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Feel for Saka. Mental a lad his age allowed take number 5. Unreal pressure

 

[Fenomeno9]

Who's genius idea was it to put a 19yr old who had a terrible game as the 5th penalty taker in a European Cup final. What in the feck is that?

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Leg-End]

Maguire took the best pen, the CB took the best pen.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Screw all of this shite.

Whoever thinks that taking slow runs and stutter steps is a good thing on penalties needs to gave his/her head a wobble.

 

[Dobba]

5 penalty takers and you get a centre half, two players who played a combined 6 minutes of the game and a sub who did nothing right all game on the list.

fecking braindead.

 

[Pow]

Why the feck is saka taking the 5th pen
Too much pressure on a kid.

 

[ManUtd1999]

I don’t like Italy, but “football is coming home” made me root against England. Be more humble.

Congratulations, Italy!

 

[kouroux]

Didn't they learn anything with Mbappe ?

 

[My only Eric]

It's coming Rome

 

[RedRonaldo]

I hope we sack Southgate

 

[Redlambs]

Got what we deserved. Congrats to Italy, the best team of the whole tournament!

 

[Sphaero]

I hope nobody comes up with the stupid idea to blame these young lads, especially Rashford and Sancho, who were thrown in cold here. This is entirely on Southgates head and nobody elses.

 

[ratburger]

Football saved!

 

[0le]

Deserves credit though

 

[RedTiger]

Saka for the England job in 30 years?

after a pizza ad first

That is a shocking decision, I'd expected Shaw to take it tbh

Baffling decisions

 

[do.ob]

A victory for football.

 

[Zaphod2319]

Its coming Rome

 

[kyofusho]

Pickford did not deserve that. This squad did not deserve that.
Please resign Gareth, you're holding them back.

 

[Wilt]

And to think some want Southgate knighted

Arise Sir Gareth ….my arse

 

[Daysleeper]

Thank god Italy!!! Thank you thank you

 

[christy87]

That’s another generation of English footballers who will have a mental block when it comes to pens

 

[buchansleftleg]

Give all of Saka great input in the game that was a surprise

 

[Judas]

I can't get over having Saka taking the most crucial penalty of the lot.

 

[Dante]

That was a fun distraction. Now back to the real football.

 

[pratyush_utd]

There will be some immense amount of abuse coming towards Saka Sancho and Rashford..I feel sorry for them

 

[reddev3]

Saka, possibly the worst ever sub performance.

Don't blame him, it's Southgate that's the bum.

 

[pablo__p]

I must say that Southgate didn't help his luck


Congrats to Italy, best team of the tournament won!

 

[el3mel]

This was basically the EL final for England. Ole fecked up the subs and Southgate the same.

 

[Red Dreams]

Really sorry for the lads who missed.

England have nothing to be ashamed of.

Going to sleep this off.

 

[Glaswegian]

And Europe just breathed a collective sigh of relief. No butchers apron on the European Trophy!

Hope Italian takeaways/restaurants have boarded up their windows.

 

[Heinzesight]

Rashford trying to be clever. When does he ever take penalties like that.

 

[SmashedHombre]

Every single decision Southgate made was the wrong one. Impressive tbf.
