Oh, Rashford.
Whenever you prat about with your run up, the penalty nearly always misses.
Well done, Italy.

Ultimately a solid team playing limited football got the result they deserved.
As the competition developed the press and public built the England team up into something that they aren't.
IMO they only really have one player who would or could get into the teams of the other top nations (Spain, Italy, belgium), Kane - and he had a relatively poor competition, not entirely his fault though.
To do well you need at least 2 out of three: a bit of luck (England got that), you need your big players to step up (didn't happen) and you need excellent coaching/tactics (England were well coached defensively but limited in offense).
And the England 'fans' showed their colours again last night.

I don’t get all this “it’s coming home” or “xx years of hurt”, “1966 was a great year for sport” etc. It’s the Euros (which UK left by the way) not the World Cup!
pew, pew, pew, pew!
Any Englishmen in Cambodia who can remember the last time England won a football tournament have already died of a heart attack.
I’d say that’s most of TOF and 440.
(Not me though. I’m only 31 >cough<)
pew, pew, pew, pew!

As soon as England scored they should have brought Grealish, Saka on, and all the other offensive attack on the bench if needed.
Italy were a beaten team in the first 15 minutes, but their confidence grew, and England looked tired as the game went on.

Altogether a pleasant match, with an English first half and an Italian second half. Could have gone either way. Congrats to both teams

That video was funny, but it may have well been his swansong as a comedian. The racists tweets following the loss to Italy has seen his agent dropping him and gigs cancelled.Fred Edwards wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:08 pmVery tongue-in-cheek. I wonder if anybody has watched it and never understood it was a joke?

Yeah, definitely.
England should have made 2 substitutions in the 3rd minute. That would, for sure, have been an intelligent thing to do.

England had a very young team and a technical inferior midfield which resulted in them sitting too deep after they scored at the start. The kids will learn from the experience and will be a genuine threat for Qatar 2022.spitthedog wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 4:07 pmAs soon as England scored they should have brought Grealish, Saka on, and all the other offensive attack on the bench if needed.

The Italians were great all tournament and deserved the win.
