This showboating on the run up is not for me prefer to see the old fashioned run up pick ur corner and put ur foot through the ball

This. Got no issues with saka’s pen (poor but at least he went for it) lose my head with any player who stops before kicking

Donnarumma will be there for another 20 years and probably the best of his generation. That said Pickford was excellent and very hard done by.

He’s off to PSG apparently

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Really?

Never, unless you wanna be a smart arse like Rob and say he did an hour ago. He’s only taken them at youth level, even then was only 3 he’s taken and he missed 1

No it was a genuine question.

Not much to say about it, apart from hopefully the guy doesn’t let it get to him too much

He volunteered like his manager did 25 years ago. The more seasoned Rashford however really should have known better

Sterling should have taken one tbh.

Sterling should have taken one. I think all the senior pros should have been first up.

Well some right old nonsense on here

In the end it’s our most successful tournament for over half a century and the youngest squad in the competition

Southgate by a country mile is the best manager for as long as I remember - penalties is a lottery and that’s it

Can’t be bothered with the rubbish here and certainly social media - just embarrassing

Agree with most but not that penalties are a lottery, as I posted in another thread it’s a skill and test of mental strength imo. Some teams (or players) aren’t good at them by luck.

It was a gamble that failed, really the lessons to take away are not from the shootout but the second half. They really had no answer in the first but we relieved all of the pressure

True, also England weren’t the youngest squad in the tournament.

Bang on. Sterling, Grealish, Walker, Pickford, Phillips. All should have been ahead of Saka.

Southgate didn’t learn from the Croatia game at the WC. They came back into it 2nd half and we didn’t know how to confront that.

Somebody from the England camp said we had practiced penalties before we played Germany.
So why did we miss 3 penalties today and appear to have no confidence?

Because we put players on with a minute to go who hadn't even been involved with the match.

Sancho barely involved with the tournament.

I guess because no matter what you do on a training ground you cannot replicate the conditions in a stadium in a major final, how do you recreate that type of pressure?

Sancho & Rashford’s penalties looked like training ground penalties but in that kind of pressure it was a massive gamble throwing them in like that having barely been on the pitch

Nah. Put players up who have been in the game

His thinking was to shut up shop but that’ll rarely ever work for 45 minutes, it’s something you do in the last 10.

Saka went to the euros while Maddders sits at home. Gareth should be arrested

If we had attacked at 1-0 and got a second I think it would have been over in 90. Seen it a few times last season with Cov.

 

[COV]

The streaker showed a great turn of pace when he came on, took about 5 stewards to get near him

Which is what I’ve been saying all day yet you cry at every post I make. Yam yam yam yam

Did more than Saka

Given you’ve openly admitted on here that you struggle to make friends that’s a poor post.

I never have tbh

Genuinely gutted, but proud of the young lads that stepped up.
Proper looking forward to another big season in the championship. One where we can actually go and watch.

We wouldn’t have been gung ho either, just stretching the play wide as we had in the first half and utilising Kane dropping a bit deeper to spray it around. We won’t get a better chance to win than that.

The Sunderland of world football

When you look back at critical moment's
It's likely that Chiellini has a handful t Stone's shirte as he falls backwards onto the ground,right next to him is the goalscorer who beats Mount in heading the ball by mere milliseconds.

 

[cc84cov]

The fact senior players left Saka go up ahead of him is a disgrace

Managers decision

They'll be another kick in the nuts in the next few days as UEFA punish the FA for booing of the Italian anthem and kids breaking through the security barriers.

We have been punished enough by having to suffer with Southgate in charge

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Hopefully Saka is banished from the England team now. Let him mature he should never have been there and that’s on southgate

One of our players of the tournament. However that 5th penalty should’ve been Grealish’s or Pickford’s.
