Euro 2020

[Robbo]

Shaw, Sterling, Grealish? Why not them?

 

[Daisuk]

Italy are professional, grind out the result. But Spain and England have better players. Just not as well managed imo. That is management from the whole side - on the pitch as well as off it.

Yeah, agree. Why Graelish and Foden didn't feature more - beats me.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Never should have let the youngsters take the penalties. Experienced players should have stepped up and took responsibility

Especially the two who were cold. They'd barely kicked a ball, was no surprise they didn't score.

 

[johnola]

Subs miss penalties. It has always been the way.

Nonetheless. We had it all in his tournament, plus a death and a resurrection.

Have a good summer all of you.

 

[indospurs]

Well done Mancini and the players, not even their own countrymen gave them a chance.

Two penalty shoot outs, Italians fall behind in both yet still win them...

 

[Yiddo]

Shaw, Sterling, Grealish? Why not them?

They bottled it clearly. If they wanted to take responsibility they would have forced his hand.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Yeah, agree. Why Graelish and Foden didn't feature more - beats me.

And while Kane, and Mout tired, Sancho and Rashford were held on the sidelines.

 

[Lilbaz]

Oh well world cup next year.

 

[DeanoAustin]

This.Totally.

Supposed to the superstar, but nowhere to be seen when it mattered

Wright spoke the other day about what a great character he was and got irked when Keane pulled the tinkle out of him over it. For Sterling to sit back and let Saka, a 19 year old who had an absolute nightmare from the moment he came on, was beyond gutless. And for Southgate to allow Saka to take the 5th penalty is disgraceful. The lad was completely overawed by the occasion.

Hehe.

 

[scaramanga]

Only 19 in a match with the entire nation breathing down his neck. Should never have had to take that pen, in my opinion. If he was one you'd usually expect to take pens, sure.

Not just the penalty. Everything he touched turned to brick the moment he stepped on.

From refusing to run at his man to bottling tackles and misplacing passes. He fudged everything up.

 

[johnola]

Oh and pizza hut to sponsor free school meals for ever.

 

[indospurs]

Never should have let the youngsters take the penalties. Experienced players should have stepped up and took responsibility

not the reason for me - it's because they were cold, players who were in the game the whole time should have taken them, my perspective

 

[Daisuk]

Not just the penalty. Everything he touched turned to brick the moment he stepped on.

From refusing to run at his man to bottling tackles and misplacing passes. He fudged everything up.

Yeah, he's been very poor, agree on that. Not sure why he got so many minutes - did nothing for that side.

 

[Baleforce]

Pickford did well.

Again his anger would be justified, he’s saved two penalties and the other useless clams couldn’t even score 3 out of 5.

 

[Gilzeantoscore]

Well who didn't see this eventuating? There is only one prick teaser worse than Spurs and that is England!

 

[Robbo]

They bottled it clearly. If they wanted to take responsibility they would have forced his hand.

Walker, Trippier and even Mount/Rice would've been better. And that’s not even hindsight. The pressure doesn’t get any smaller if you're thrown in at the deep end.

 

[SpurMeUp]

What effect will this have on Kane? Fuking joke Southgate. A lack of balls. He's weak. He setup a decent team, but his management of the emotions, and subs lost the game imo.

 

[indospurs]

Subs miss penalties. It has always been the way.

Nonetheless. We had it all in his tournament, plus a death and a resurrection.

Have a good summer all of you.

A good tournament, could have been great ... has been for the Italians

 

[scaramanga]

He dont owe the country brick, remember? He all about self and doesnt care what people think of him.
Lies.

Absolutely shameful level of cowardice.
