July 11, 20214 yr That was a god-awful shootout ... but it was also the most heartbreaking manner in which England could have lost. The Three Lions grab an early lead, surrender that, match goes to kicks, another early lead for England, that's given up, then an unexpected reprieve, and then yet another monumental choke. For Anger-land fans:
July 11, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, AUS-97HORN said: England misses their last 3 shots. They are up 2-1 and miss 3 fucking shots in a row. 2 from guys subbed in at the last minute just to take them.
July 11, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: Maybe at least get their blood flowing by playing them 15 min…not 30 seconds Honestly it’s like a children’s coaches decision. Southgate is a joke though so no surprise

July 11, 20214 yr Way to go Southgate. If you have ever played soccer, you know that you need to get more than a couple minutes on the field to feel comfortable before taking a high pressure PK.

July 11, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, midtown said: Maybe England should use professional players next time. 3 misses? Some one called, it they brought in 2 cold players just for PKs, and they missed.
July 11, 20214 yr Just now, MNLonghornFUKM said: Why didn’t England send sterling to kick? He would've just dribbled it out of bounds.
July 11, 20214 yr Just now, MNLonghornFUKM said: Why didn’t England send sterling to kick? Was he subbed off for Sancho because that made no sense. I have no love for Raheem but that's a dude I'd rather have taking a high pressure shot than Sancho or Saka.
July 11, 20214 yr Cry more, maybe Saka will make it next timeYou’re such a bitch about your daddy. Go admire your empty trophy case. Unlike Kane: classy to be the first to get to Saka.

July 11, 20214 yr Hell of a save from Pickford though. maybe make sure to put them on goal and make the keeper save it instead of watching the post spit it out.
July 11, 20214 yr England started the game with 7 defensive players. They get what they deserve for playing like West Brom.
July 11, 20214 yr Bad night to be a lady in London I guess ... Spoiler alert for the easily triggered Spoiler
July 11, 20214 yr Did England even have a shot on goal after the 2nd min? (At bar, drinking). Graelish in after the 80th min? Henderson on then off? Terrible in game management.
July 11, 20214 yr The racist Brits will come out tonight on social media. Two white guys make, three black guys miss. This is all on Southgate the way he managed the first 90 minutes.
July 11, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: Why didn’t England send sterling to kick? That's a great question.

July 11, 20214 yr I like Saka. I think he will be very, very good. He is still really young. But yeah, Southgate fucked that one up. I would want my experienced guys out there taking those high pressure kicks. Not a 19 year old kid. But yeah, England is the aggy of international football. They have one championship from decades ago, and have not won anything meaningful since. But always think they are the best.
July 11, 20214 yr Looks like Everton was the only one to show up for country today. The rest of them besides one cross from tripper and one good touch from Shaw were shit.
July 11, 20214 yr Great tournament, and Italy seriously deserved this. They were the better team in this tournament. England today, Spain and Belgium on the way.

But always think they are the best. i don't recall Saka ever taking a penalty for Arsenal before. to ask two guys to come in cold off the bench and then to have a 19 y/o with no penalty experience as your 3-4-5 takers in the Euro finals? that's garbage management.
July 11, 20214 yr England did not play coordinated soccer the whole second half. They looked like a bunch of all stars just thrown together and told to play. Then weird subs. That’s all on the coach. He will get skewered in the press.
July 11, 20214 yr Just now, Captain Ron said: Great tournament, and Italy seriously deserved this. They were the better team in this tournament. England today, Spain and Belgium on the way. Yes
July 11, 20214 yr The racist Brits will come out tonight on social media. Two white guys make, three black guys miss. This is all on Southgate the way he managed the first 90 minutes. It’s going to be an AWFUL night in the English pubs. The barkeeps I talked to there a couple years ago said the American coverage of English football almost totally glosses over the violence amongst the losing team’s fans each weekend. Especially in derbys, and I assume it will be the same for this national gut wrencher. Hey Southgate, how bout you don’t put a teenager in the #5 PK spot?

Except their fans are more like Ohio State fans, what with the hooliganism, vandalism, domestic abuse, and general lack of teeth.
July 11, 20214 yr The only thing worse than penalties deciding a championship is the runner up medals. They need a giant recycling bin right at the end of the stage. Edited July 11, 20214 yr by mdmost
July 11, 20214 yr England with 0.55xg in 120+ minutes says it all. Tried to play prevent defense the last 88 minutes of regulation is a losers strategy.

If I was an Italian fan I’d be on the train tonight or wouldn’t leave the hotel bar
July 11, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, Captain Ron said: Great tournament, and Italy seriously deserved this. They were the better team in this tournament. England today, Spain and Belgium on the way. Yeah, exactly. To beat them all was a feat. And it was a tournament with so many great moments. Again, Congrats Italia.
July 11, 20214 yr Saka? More like sucka amirite?I dont watch much, but Saka came in and played timid like Ollie from Hoosiers. He had no chance against this keeper.
July 11, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: England did not play coordinated soccer the whole second half. They looked like a bunch of all stars just thrown together and told to play. Then weird subs. That’s all on the coach. He will get skewered in the press. Rightly deserved. He might have a Semi appearance in the World Cup and this final appearance, but his decisions made most people scratch their head. A super talented offensive team and he played super conservative.
July 11, 20214 yr historic tournament Southgate is the biggest pussy in the history of international football ma management. Twellman is the worst color commentator in the history of international football.
