Euro 2020

[Loki]

The usual then.

 

[Freddeno]

ooh, that is a grim pen shootout, sorry for you guys...this game had it all

 

[Tony Towner]

Thanks Gareth, ridiculous game management on every single level

 

[Throbber3]

Abysmal penalties after maguire. Best team won. Tactics after 15 minutes were awful.

 

[Jack Regan]

Roll on next Christmas...

 

[AndyWolves]

We showed we could create chances of we'd been braver

Early goal for us might have been the worst thing

 

[jd1981]

Did we deserve to win no but honestly to lose a final in that way is beyond pain it’s just seems like the end of the world

 

[PuntsWolf]

Bunch of kids taking the weight of the nation. Where is Sterling, Shaw, Grealish?

Literally playing for penalties where every metric tells you we would lose.

 

[t3ch]

don't like saka but loved to see coady immediately out there consoling him

I would have thought the order was pre arranged. From what I remember Sterling missed a fair few penalties

 

[Tredman]

Why not?

 

[Freddeno]

Italy a very good team though..

 

[jd1981]

Southgate got that wrong second half, waited to long for changes.

 

[sycophantia]

Gutted, thought we were superb for 45 minutes, got the goal and stifled Italy for the rest of the half...but after that we just folded apart from a bit of the 2nd half of ET

Well Maguire doesn’t take them but he backed himself as a senior player. 19 year old taking the 5th penalty in a massive moment when he was dogshit the entire time he was on the pitch.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying they would have had a plan.

 

[Throbber3]

Grealish and Sterling . Where were they ? Both should have been ahead of Saka in the pens list.

Dogshit. Fuck off.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Bolloxs, its a sad way to end the tournament.

Subs were too late and the penalty order seemed a bit odd. On balance felt that Italy deserved it, they worked us out and we did nothing about it until the last 10 minutes.

They are all hero's though, absolute fantastic tournament, just the wrong side of the coin toss that is a penalty shoot out.
