England Euro 2020

That was a shame.

Too many indecisive penalties from young players.

Think they are better team overall but we did better in extra time .

They only gripe I have after England losing on penalties (again) is that England allowed Italy to score a set piece goal. A ball pinging about in our penalty area and not able to clear it. Other than that they created very little, we had the game in the bag. Penalties is always our Achilles heel…
 
We didn't play the free flowing game.
I thought Southgate was predictable again.
At the beginning of the tournament everybody said Grealish and Foden should be the main stay of our team.
We didn't see much of them to be honest.
 
So another tournament goes by where England manage to get an easy route through and crumble as soon as a decent opponent pops up.

Southgate will continue to be some kind of hero of English football while his team play the most dull, depressing crap on the planet.

Tactical genius subbing 2 players on who can't get near the team in the last minute so they can take a penalty and prove a point after being horribly underutilized. That won't put them under unnecessary pressure...

At least our school kids can aspire to roam around like Kane, drop to the floor like Sterling, or boot the ball all the way from your penalty area to the opposition goalkeeper, like Pickford did so many times. A good few hoofs into the stand from Trippier and Maguire too.

Thought Walker had a genuinely excellent tournament though... Kept all those other right backs out the team.
 
Not even going to bother reading the thread, but we made a final for the first time in my lifetime and like the last WC semi dominated the first half but didn't get the second goal.

A lot learned by a lot of young players for next year.

Congratulations to Italy and all the uttercunts on here that hate the England team, although it's still a different reaction to both groups.

There’s so many comebacks to this post but really there is no point.
 
The best team on the night won, the stats also show that.

We started off well and got to half-time still in the lead after Italian pressure.

Italy made changes and they worked, it was only time before they equalised.

Not sure how the penalty takers were chosen, but two of the misses were players who came on ‘cold’.

But we reached the final and that was a real plus.
