Feel quite bad for the kids that missed their kicks.
Horrible way to end for them.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
England failed to beat a top 10 side in 90 minutes. So did Wales.
I think England have got a huge amount right this tournament - a lot of credit goes to Ian Mitchell who was sports psychologist for Wales in 2016 - and go into next World Cup as favourites, and probably win it. I think the rest of Europe is looking at Italy and England as the teams to learn from.

Best team won. Southgate bottled it.

It wouldn't have felt right if England had won this contest when having had a tournament handed them on a platter by UEFA. I think some England fans need to find a chill and not sing about German bombers etc. - some of their fans are massive wankers and Southgate should not have appealed to them - but they've got a likeable squad and going on the right direction.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Hindsight is great but I dont understand why Southgate felt he needed to bring Rashford and Sancho on at that stage.
-
Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Feel for the young lads who missed but praise the Lord.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Awful pens. Suprised Grealish and Sterling werent in the 1st 5.
-
Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Feel sorry for Saka . Real lack of balls by Shaw and sterling not to step up, why leave it to a 19yr old. What a joke rashford was, more interested in a photogenic penalty than in scoring the bloody thing. Southgate looks a right idiot, brings on sancho and rashford specifically for penalties 🤣🤣

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Not the greatest Italian team ever but Mancini exceptional, brilliantly exposing Southgate’s limitations.
-
Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
I don't think England can have any complaints. Italy outplayed them over 90 minutes, although the extra time was more even.
What was the point of keeping Sterling on for 120 minutes if he wasn't going to take a penalty?
-
Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
Put the youngest kid on the 5th penalty. Glad they lost but Southgate has to take the blame for that, poor decisions in the end. Let Twitter revenge begin. :wales:

Especially when defending a corner. Nearly lost them the game there and then

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
sterlings last pass was dreadful in almost every occasion

I don't agree with this. England were excellent and had this game ended after 45 mins they would have been worthy winners. Italy ground them down. They were wonderful in the group stages, but had England won the tournament it wouldn't have felt wrong at all.
Winner of the tournament tho was the refs. Felt like a step back towards sensible reffing.
Great competition. Loved it. Bring on the next one

Pickford, Phillips and Shaw can all hit a better ball than Rashford.

Should be sacked. Mancini hustled him and he became more and more negative.

Think it was 19 attempts on goal to 6 in the end in favour of Italy. England got off to a great start and Italy were certainly rattled, but they grew into the game from about 30 mins and really controlled the game from that point forward.

Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
I'm as little bit surprised that Southgate, after his own personal experience, thought it was a good idea for Saka to take the fifth penalty.

There might have been a team decision. It also could have been that players who wanted to have a go got the nod and other players backed away.
