Poll: UEFA Euro 2020 Final Italy v England ** spoilers ** [Sunday 11th July 2021]

Can we take a step back here and appreciate how incredible Maguire's penalty was?

Smashed the corner camera....that's how you do it.

Italia 90. Euro 96. Euro 20. My nerves are shot from watching England lose on pens. Never going to shake this damn monkey [/QUOTEWCC1]

WC 1998, WC 2006? Weren't they also pens too?

 

[Hunterlit]

Italy were brutal with our team and what did we do in return? Ref should have stepped in at times more than when he did.

 

[Mark1989]

Grealish maybe but not Sterling he's a bottle job and never steps forward and to be honest you probably dont want him to.

Sterling is over hyped but he should be doing them over Saka cause of his tournament experience

That being said least Saka stepped up as did Rashford and Sancho they may of missed but least they tried

 

[LtMatt]

I thought England had nothing to fear though from Italy? It was won after the Denmark game.

We didn't, if we played 4 at the back, pushed our defensive line up and went for it.

Sadly, we did none of that and just allowed old Italy to dictate the game and allow them to keep us pressed inside our half.

We played into their hands, and that's why they dominated. Sad, but true.

Awaiting the boos during trophy ceremony... I could be wrong

 

[Tombstone]

Good news for those who get royalties from Three Lions though, means that it will be played like mad next time too

 

[Kenai]

This was the inevitable result of defending your way to a final against a string of average teams, it doesn't get you past a team like Italy and you end up tossing the coin on a shootout. Frankly, it feels like we were lucky to drag it that far in the first place.

 

[Noxia]

We didn't, but Southgate was another matter.

Deluded mate. Always next time, chin up.

Well, back to work and school tomorrow morning.

Poor losers.....

I've never in my life seen my country win anything in football despite being one of the biggest and passionate countries for the sport

and Pickfords save.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

They are though. More possession, more shots, more shots off target, more shots on target and a better XG.

Away side as well with the home side having 70k fans on their side.

England couldn't have had an easier tournament. The big teams all played terribly and had crap managers.

I knew Belgium were going nowhere with their 523 formation. France were just a mystery. Spain looked like they were growing into it and Italy beat them. That was the real final.

 

[Somnambulist]

I feel sorry for Saka but some of the other senior players should be insisting to step up before him… but they didn’t. Oh well, got one step further than the last competition - maybe next time eh!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

There’s no one left to boo.

Do you actually believe that? We're not one of the biggest or the most passionate.

 

[RobDogDog]

Surprised Hendo came off as he would have taken one.

 

[naefeart]

WC 1998, WC 2006? Weren't they also pens too?

If they were I’ve obviously blocked them out or wasn’t as emotionally invested. I actually thought we could win this time.

But hey made the final, lead for most of the game. We did well.

Oh well, back to arguing about covid now I guess. Thanks anyway England for the last few weeks
