[Euro 2020- Final] - Italia vincere (Champions!)

[charlie]

The best team of the tournament won!
I dont think anyone can question that! Italy was fantastic from day 1, and had to pass through the harder bracket to get to the final.

The deserved to win.

It was a wonderful, wonderful tournament, unlike the perennially boring Copa Americana.

[kajifu]

The best team in the tourney won. It would not have been justified on the balance of play for this English team to win against the Italians.

[Its a Goal]

The inquisition will begin in earnest. Why didn't the players practice their penalty kicks?

[Kabalega]

Despite all the politics from UEFA, Italy got it. How the english team played all its games at home except one is beyond understanding.

Tournament hosts.

Sorry Coach. It wasn't to be...

[Benedict Iroha]

How can you sit Rashford and Sancho only to bring them on for penalties? Sterling, Grealish and Stones are there.

[Oguleftie]

Italian GK.
That is what you call a GK.
He saved a PK for the trophy and just calmly walked off as if nothing happened.
Even his team mates ran to him for congratulations, jumping up & down, but he remained calm; a mark of a confident GK.

“ Just like ‘45 when Benni begged
to join the Brits and Brave Allies
A true bottle job switching sides.
Today Giuseppe comes again
To bend the knee to Raz and Kane”

Hey Shakespeare how ya doin’?

[Coach]

Sorry Coach. It wasn't to be...

Glass. Two ice cubes. Bottle. And the realisation that the wagers must be paid. Crikey.

Coachie, you’re a bloody real time jinx!
And now my Lions are weeping … thanks

[Cristao II]

Why are these players taking the medals off?

Shakes head ..

Player of the tournament?

Has to be Federico Chiesa.
I would have chosen Spinazolla because he was out of this world, before he got hurt.
But Chiesa was incredible.

[Sleaky72]

Bukayo take heart.
Make it count with Arsenal, son.

[balo]

See Vialluca.

Very dumb decision by Southgate to have a 19 year old with no record of been good at spot kicks take a PK in such high pressure situation, Saka had no business taking a penalty over the likes of Henderson, Grealish etc

Hindsight is 2020. Give the Italian goalkeeper credit for stopping those penalities abeg!
I hate England, but Southgate is a major reason they made it this far and almost won it.

[bunda]

enough of all the hubris
football is coming to Rome

Chief he does have a point.
The fifth spot is usually reserved
for yer best PK taker.
Too much pressure on a young lad unfortunately …
Hope it doesn’t break him

Nonsense. Game completely mismanaged by Southgate and the penalty takers were laughable.

Agreed. Although I feel he should have dared more with his lineup. He had a lot of firepower on his bench. Kane for me needs to have his minutes reduced.
