In that kind of pressure its more about experience and mentality than ability. You can practise your fancy runups all you want on the training ground but when you're taking one for real you just need to go Maguire style.

Thats all very well and good, however another correct way of looking at is is: ENGLAND fail to win a tournament again ENGLAND have the strongest squad but fail to utilise it in the final after breezing through the previous rounds ENGLAND once again bottle it when the pressure is on ENGLAND...

I saw that, they got the crap kicked out of them- made no sense at all until it transpired they were the people who bust their way in

The streaker showed a great turn of pace when he came on, took about 5 stewards to get near him

I guess because no matter what you do on a training ground you cannot replicate the conditions in a stadium in a major final, how do you recreate that type of pressure? Sancho & Rashford’s penalties looked like training ground penalties but in that kind of pressure it was a massive gamble...

True, also England weren’t the youngest squad in the tournament.

No it was a genuine question. Not much to say about it, apart from hopefully the guy doesn’t let it get to him too much

He’s off to PSG apparently

Really?

Not European finals, major finals. I think it’s only Belgium who’ve appeared in less finals than us from what you’d loosely call the big footballing nations with Portugal also on 2.

That’s what I mean- especially when you’re faced with a giant of a keeper like they had. He guessed right with Kane’s but the power took it past him, not the case with the others- fair enough one hit the post

Unfortunately true, at international level anyway

Not so sure there’s anything old fashioned about putting your foot through it- if it goes in it’s a good penalty, end of story

I think you might be right. I’d like to see that song banned, it always makes us look silly in the end 😆

I’m not sure who said Grimes was being racist, it wasn’t me though. The stuff being thrown at the three of them is horrible, deny it if you like, kinda your style

Precisely. Earlsdon gets a bit defensive when the topic comes up, I wonder why

I agree

We did help them though, still say we have the better squad

He’s got an issue with Rashford helping hungry kids clearly But that’s for another day another place
