Nevertheless, that was an effort well invested. Good game by both, and an excellent referee. Congrats to Italy. They are as worthy a winner as England would have been, too.
Just Rashford. ![]()

Southgate is a terrible tactician and coach, he brought on two players in the last two minutes to take penalties ... and both of them bloody missed. The negative anti football that England have adopted under Southgate is just not good enough, it will get no better in the blistering heat of Qatar next year either.

Actually the English team played better than what I expected to see, and outplayed Italy in the first 30 minutes. Southgate did very well. But the Italians reacted and changed their play, too, and so most of the second half was theirs. And Southgate had an elite cadre, it seems, at least that is what the German TV commentators repeatedly said (I do not know all the names). A reserve bank that is pure luxury, they said.
I like this team. I also like the Italian team. I like Southgate by the appearance he gave in this match. Well, he made the best English team that I can remember having ever seen. What I do not like, are the English fans and the awful headlines they made and still make. Board members excluded, of course, you guys are fine. ![]() And the primaballerina mistaking the penalty with a chance to dance a solo really killed nerve and mood of mine. I have zero patience with such showacts. Again, I usually do not mock at all if a player misses a penalty. But this one was an exception. Primaballerina.

South is a good ambassador for the sport this England team is still a WIP and improving. Not knocking Rashford he's had almost no game time was nervous no time to settle I can see why he was brought on hes got a success rate of around 9/10 penalties and it was only a fraction out. Not keen on the Ballerina as you call it but he can do the whole of Swan Lake for all I care so long as the ball goes in the back off net. Still proud of the lads just need a bit more consistency

Perfect results on both sides of the pond. Messi gets his international trophy, finally, and good for him. England lose a tournament final on penalties, which is the natural order of things.
Congrats to Italy, worthy winners. It's easy to pick it apart in hindsight, but I was firmly off the Southgate bandwagon throughout his tenure. Results however have been good, so what I saw seemed to have little actual effect. Managers own their substitutions, and get praised when they pay off, and rightly, should be criticized when they get it wrong. He got it wrong yesterday. Not that he could control those misses, but the fact remains he put on the players who lost the match. Heavy is the head who wears the big hat, and the buck stops with him. I agree with Skybird and felt exactly the same as he did when watching twinkle toes run up to take his pen. Just awful, and the football gods are just passing judgement on his ridiculous prancing approach. They have decided, I am sure, that anyone taking a penalty in this manner is doomed to miss. Rashford will live out his life with this burden, as Southgate has since '96. Southgate, paying it forward.

I deal in cold hard facts matey, there's no hate involved, I was just trying to put a dampener on all the media hype proclaiming that "Footballs Coming Home" that's all, I see you fell for it "Hook Line and Sinker". I remember Sven-Göran Eriksson being England manager and, from what I've seen and heard England have turned full circle to that era. Eriksson wasted the golden generations opportunities with defensive tactics and, Southgate will do the same to this team.
1) Tactics, Southgate has never let his young lions off the leash for even one game, why not?, because he's scared of losing, how the hell can he know what his best formation is if he doesn't let them loose for once, so England lose a match, so what, at least he'll find out what they're capable of. The best form of defence is attack, but it seems Southgate doesn't know that. 2) Possession, England 35% Italy 65%, that's not the players fault its Southgate's fault, he is the coach and everything that goes right or wrong on that pitch is his to own, Southgate will win what Eriksson won if he doesn't change things around, nothing, zero, zilch. 3) Penalties, whoever put that much pressure on a 19 year old's shoulders by having him take the 5th penalty wants their head examining. Where were Sterling, Grealish and Stones, oh yeah, hiding behind a 19 year old kiddie and Southgate let them, Shocking!!!!. Southgate needed to show some ruthless leadership, he should have grabbed those three by the scruff of the neck and told them they're taking a penalty whether they like it or not. 4) The biggest clowns in all of this are the England fans, yet again they've fallen for all that overblown media hype, "Footballs Coming Home", no it isn't, "Footballs Coming Rome".

Aye, my initial prediction at the start of the tournament.
What's most upsetting for me is the reaction of the fans before and after the game. |
