Mancini played a blinder. Freshened up multiple times. Used the right subs at the right time.

He was also clueless in the first half. We decided to hold on for 45 minutes and invited far too much pressure.

Wish players would stop this trend of taking off there runner up medals

Bear go to bed you shit geeza

If we'd have had a go I honestly think we'd have won.

How many times have we said that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lads. It’s disappointing, but we have a championship season to look forward to. The lows in football make the highs worth it.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I don’t even want to think about football until August 6th

Just so negative beyond half time , ah well it is what it is ..southgates game management needs work .. I'm not going to slate him just hope he learns lessons because his game management cost us against the Croats in 2018 and arguably again tonight .

Here's hoping

His subs were too late whej it mattered again was found out

 

[Evo1883]

Looks like the dark horses won after all

 

[no_loyalty]

Rashford should stick to his free school dinners campaign, that’s all he’s good at.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Honestly think the early goal did for us.

No, statistically and factually, it 'did for them'. What did for us is the way we went about the game for the next hour and a half.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

That was some penalty from Harry Maguire though

That's kind of what I mean. It made us too defensive.

Our Scottish and Welsh friends are off and running

It's true. They've done great this tournament, but only wins count as success. Got to try again in 18 months time.

So losing the final on penalties is no better than getting knocked out in the group stage?

Tried to be 'cool hand Luke' one too many times.

 

[Evo1883]

It's hard to take penalties, rashfords miss created a spiral of doubt ..he tried to be too clever .

But should they have been on them without even really touching the ball ?

 

[Tommo1993]

I’ll move on, but for now I’m gutted.

Up in 6 hours for work, even worse.

When the Scots get past the group stage maybe I’ll listen

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I thought Pickford might be one of the five.

Don't worry - They'll fall at the first hurdle. It's in their genes.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Criticism of Southgate is crazy. First final in most people on here's lifetime ffs

 

[COV]

That stuttering run up before a penalty- you need to be getting those right cause if you don’t you look a total and utter idiot

God only knows why they don’t just put their foot through it Maguire style under that pressure, it’s not the time for bloody training ground penalties in a situation like that

 

[Flying Fokker]

its a game. I’m pissed off but think of the journey as well. The semi was something special. Italy roughed the lads up and did a pro job.

Football was less painful when players were making up Balogun rumours.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We sat too deep, brough it on ourselves. We've got players who can hurt teams but they're no good sat on the edge of our 18 yard box. Just way too conservative. If we'd have got a second goal it would've killed the game.

If we’d gone for the second and conceded on the counter what do you think would have happened then? The tactics sound and has got us here and city promoted

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Anyway bring on Forest

 

[COV]

When you look at a replay of our goal it’s like looking at a different team completely to the one that played the last hour of the game

 

[Evo1883]

Ah well end thread

 

[jordan210]

I still don’t get how mount got so much game time, looked knackered after 70. Then Henderson came on and off.

how come rashford dint come on at half time of extra time. Was stripped and ready.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Apparently. rumours of football coming home have once again been greatly exaggerated.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It’s not a huge criticism but he did get the big decisions wrong today after half time. He needs to learn as much as the players

 

[COV]

Ah well end thread

See you back here in 55 years

 

[lifeskyblue]

Southgate deserves a lot of credit for the way england have progressed over the last few years BUT he should be rightly criticised for the late substitutions and choice of penalty takers. The last three never looked like scoring.

And what have we won?

Same as the last 55 years but we did win a lot of games to get the chance to win something
