bunch of pussies Rashford (23), Sancho (21), Saka (19) - do they not have more experienced players to shoot? How can you send a 19-year-old for the last penalty? Too big pressure for those young talents! #ENG #ITAENG— Patrick Berger (@berger_pj) July 11, 2021
BTW, Italy are IMO far more worthy of employing lions in their iconography, as lions once roamed Italy until the ancient inhabitants hunted them to extinction. There's no evidence of lions ever inhabiting the UK.
Maybe it was a strategy - sometimes younger players do better because they don't overthink the penalty. I still remember Schweinsteiger skying a penalty shot.
funny 2006 WC Italy down 1-0, score off a corner for 1-1. Than win on PK 2020 EC Italy down 1-0, score off corner for 1-1. Than win on PK and that's 2/2 Italy trophies in past 21 years.
Italy deserved it, other then early goal England barely had a shot at home. This tournament highlights the importance of being tough to score against, same with Argentina. We need to find a way to make ourselves tough to play through.
English commentators still bitching about how that foul on Grealish was red card. How? Grealish slides and Jorginho hits ball than his foot deflects off ball to hit Grealish. GTFO with that shit Kane BS about how England and Italy was 50-50 from 2nd half and than England got more into in ET, LOL. Off the mark..... LOL Southgate loser in PKs as player and loser in PKs as coach, full circle.
On a sadder note, I saw a tweet that domestic abuse in England rises by 38% when England loses. It's a f*cking game folks, not something to take out and abuse other people. If you can't accept that, don't bother watching. (I'm sure it's just as bad in other countries as well).
Official Best Player of Tourney: Donnarumma (1st GK ever) Top Scorer: Ronaldo LOL 22% - England have won just 22% (2/9) of their major tournament shootouts (World Cup/EUROs), the lowest ratio of any European nation to have been involved in three or more. Brutal. #ENG #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/Ehfu5eur4N— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) July 11, 2021 LMAO, trolling Bonucci yelling “It’s coming to Rome!” at the camera IT'S COMING TO ROME! 🗣 pic.twitter.com/GbSAF0FrHU— 433 (@433) July 11, 2021
some stats Italy vs England 66% possession vs 34% 19 shots vs 6 shots 6 shots on target vs 2 shots on target 1 Hit woodwork vs 0 hit woodwork 3 big chances vs 1 big chance
I have a strong hatred for domestic abusers, and I am of the opinion that their only fitting punishment is being subjected to a beating that leaves them in need of medical assistance for the rest of their lives.
my boy, Jupp Heynckes on the #EURO2020 final: "It was a tactical game and exciting until the end. The best team of the tournament deservedly won. Italy deserve respect and sympathy" [Kicker]— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) July 11, 2021 LMAO 1414361388022108161 is not a valid tweet id
Lol England should have never reached the final. F*** Jogi. And while I'm glad England didn't win I still quite disappointed that Italy now are closing in to Germany's three Euro title.
on other hand having a rival to fight out trophy #s is more fun that if Italy sucked. Would take an Italy win over England ending 55 year drought.....keep on clinging to 1966 LOL Spain and France can ******** off though, lol.
Italy failed to score from open play but scored from corner. A freaking corner!! If Jogi decided to prolonged his career as coach , he should knew by now that perfecting possession football means nothing. While others spend 10 minutes on set pieces ,Jogi sends the teams to Austria or Switzerland so they can perfected the art of possession football.
And by the way, can anyone from FIFA please replace or just scrap the medal ceremony for the runners up team? I mean it's really annoying to see those player remove the medal immediately like bunch of cu**s. Sure no ones like to be the second best team but at least just take that medal and GTFO,kids are watching at home. Maybe instead of a medal, just give the losers a commemorative coins.
Glad we can all agree that we didn't want England to win, thanks to some of you guys for being classy gentleman and congratulating us on our forums. We can be friends for a little while, not with Spain or France though My neighbor is German and she always makes me awesome desserts so i have to be nice Good luck to you guys in the WC qualifying!
Seriously, fvck Spain. I was so grateful when you guys knocked those entitled Spaniards out of the Euro.
Right now I'm worried about Sancho, Rashford and Saka being subjected to abuse from racist scumbags because they missed their penalties.
