Personally if I was an English fan I'd put all the blame on Southgate. He is holding you team back.
In my opinion there is no way you should go into the world cup with a new manager.
Final: Italy vs England

Already starting with Saka and Rashford.
Of course it was Rashford to feck it up. Deserves all the ridicule. Dickhead, cocky penalty take.
This.
Piss poor management there. Throw them on for 2 minutes of added time while one plays RB.
No way you can get into the flow of things that quickly.
I just can’t understand the order of that pen list.
Save for the last, you know what I meant.
Probably scared to repeat the Ronaldo shoot-out situation from some tournament years ago. But it should've been a senior player; Sterling probably.
Don't know why Saka was on the fifth. Poor lad looked nervous, especially considering Jorginho's miss
Everyone knows you need about 5 minutes to settle down nerves. It's no coincidence their pens were shit.
Absolutly shocking putting two players in for penalties that haven't played more then Phil Jones this tournament. I was written all over that they would miss.
Southgate have done lot of good but that was some wrong decision.

This all day.
In fairness, I'm Sterlings biggest supporter but if it was my choice I wouldn't let him in the stadium for peno's nevermind take one but yeah, they had to have been asked. No way GS refuses to offer them one when he Harry Maguire went 2nd.
This is all on Southgate.
Ah now you're just being silly
You will get another chance in 2070
They won't getting many better chances than that. Basically all games at home, easy run to the final. This was their chance
Yeah, because the ridicule will definitely be down to his penalty technique. cnut.
Rashford and Sancho barely get a touch on the ball before they take the penalties. Not surprised that they miss.
Heads up guys...
We germans know how it feels...you can be proud of your team and if it is any uplift we allways lost a finale before we won a finale.
So looking at your still young and promising team they will hopefully take this as motivation - having a sniff at what could be to make it finaly happen. A well fought start to a journey.
It might feel like an end, but most great teams have proven that moments like this can be the start to something great.
So celebrate your teams effort and look for what is up ahead.

Yeah!!!!!!Ole will need to work on their penalty taking
Henderson was subbed off, which I found really odd.
Got nervous midway through his run-up.
Grow up. Fast.
I'm guessing Saka was a good penalty taker in training. No other explanation, he never takes them for Arsenal, was having a really bad performance, and it's his first international competition. It makes no sense at all.
Thoroughly deserved.
England were shit and Southgate plays cowardly shit football. Basically plays with 7 or 8 defensive players and relies on set pieces and long balls to create chances. Leaves excellent attacking options sitting on their hole on the bench while they get played off the pitch. Worse than Tony Pulis football.

It's how I see it. If England had the Italy coach, we win that game.
Better team won. Congratulations Italy.
Yes.

If you're talking football only then its:
Rashford
Ronaldo
Ozil
Stan Collymore
Pogba
England should and could have done better in normal times with the attack talents they have.
Playing 3 5 2 with 2 DMs sitting....

Must admit, if he had brought Rashford and Sancho on earlier we might actually have won the game before penalties. Why leave it that late.
Yeah agree with you. Just hoping those three lads don't get any abuse. Worried for Saka most of all. He was so devastated poor lad
Why on earth people are insinuating Southgate 'forced' Saka to take a penalty I have no idea. He obviously volunteered.
I wouldn't go that far, but yeah it's bad.
haha, you seem to be pretty mad, just chill dude, it's coming home someday! I mean, England and penalties, come on...we all know how this would go when ET was over
It's coooooming home! Your home = salt mine?
Thanks
Italy have been the best team in this tournament and have knocked out great teams. But honestly felt they were there for the taking. To bring on Sancho and Rashford so late, with them barely getting a kick before being expected to score a pen in an international final, was poor.
Yup that’s the reality.
An abundance. Small minded, petty shitbags.
Yeah, that too. Ole time.
