What a cry baby or something.

Imagine his Kleenex bill!

Is kane able?

So he Seth.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Mega disappointed to lose but it’s part of the game. Genuinely happy for the Italian fans even though it hurts. Overall the best team of the tournament. Brava Italia

 

[The binman chronicles]

Hendo had a helluva final, didn't he?

You sinner.

I especially enjoyed the long pass sideways that went out on the full.

Magnificent bit of football. You know the bicycle kick by Pele in escape to victory where you get to see it from multiple angles/speeds through Max Von Sydow's perspective, someone needs to edit in that moment. Victoire!

 

[Dutch Toffee]

I’m already on it thanks to @Dutch Toffee for the idea

Guess that backfired spectacular.

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Parents to blame if that happens for having kids beyond their financial means.

Pipe down you inbred wool.

 

[chrismpw]

Just checked and yes, they've gone down as the winners

Need a sarcastic applause emoji here for those who think they're clever while the point sails over their head.

 

[chrismpw]

Its not. Its what being a cheat looks like.

Geesh- the pundit brainwashing has worked well in here over the years.

@Vintage I'm curious and would be grateful for you to articulate your choice of middle finger at this. Are you a pundit? Are you married to a pundit? Do you have some form of financial investment in punditry or homoerotic obsession with a pundit who likes to rationalise cheating?

Or is it simply that you like to cheat yourself and feel the need to defend the concept of corruption in sporting compensation?

Genuinely curious.

I think Hendo coming on lost us that game. Offered nothing, regressive step.

His job was to sit like Rice he replaced and be part of a back 7, did Rice and Phillips ever offer anything in the whole tournament, the job of the CM thanks to a Dinosaur manager like Southgate is to not cross the halfway line and shield the back 5, it's why England were so negative and awful to watch this tournament even more so in the final, utter turgid setup.

England lost because of Southgate, England scoring earlier was the worst thing as the team dropped back even further which put the attack even further from the Italian box, against 2 cbs at 38 and 35 and England never had them in trouble.

Bringing on Sancho and Rashford seconds from the end of Extra time shows what a Dinosaur coward Southgate is, why not bring them on for 25-20 mins and try and avoid penalties, he brought them on for THE penalties.

Kane didn't have ONE touch in the penalty area, top 3 striker on the planet and that's how Southgate used him.

34% of possession with TWO shots in 120 minutes, Southgate should be getting destroyed in the media, what a balls up setup and tactics for a final when you score so early , in Qatar Germany will be back under Flick, Spain, Portugal, Belgium Holland France and the glorious Italy will all be better.

 

[PhilM]

He and the coaching staff should all be absolutely ashamed of themselves for putting that lad in that position, or for allowing the player to put himself in it. He's 19, the impact on his life could be catastrophic and they should have known that. You intervene and stop it from happening unless it's forced (had the pens gone down the line).

Appalling, can't believe people are letting him off the hook for it. Some leader.

Add to that, he'd had a woeful game since coming on with poor decision making. Why Southgate thought he'd be a good penalty taker is beyond me.

 

[Death]

The return of Chico is almost as good as this Italian triumph.

 

[Eggs]

….some embarrassing posts on here last night, blaming more experienced players who didn’t take a penalty when it was clear when those late substitutions were made that Southgate was selecting his penalty takers.

it’s clear and it’s sad when folk let personal agenda’s against players get in the way of reality.

 

[Yarrgh]

A fair result. England gave me a first half of hope. After that it was all one way traffic.

The next tournament won't be at home so no advantage there. Is Southgate the man to take them forward? I think he will be in charge and I don't know who else there is who'd do better.

 

[Death]

The inlaws well the da. I'm living in his house till building gets done on mine. He was living in England till he was 15 and most his family is English. He always claims he is Irish but his allegiance has come out during the competition.

Safe to say I almost got kicked out last night. The mother in law saved me. She also start singing rebel songs which took attention from my celebrating. Lol

 

[Noble Savage]

Well the only thing I enjoyed about last night ( after traveling to work during the shoot out , thankfully ) , Is Davek bringing the misery out of chaos . GoT is the real winner of this tournament .
