Rashford should stick to his free school dinners campaign, that’s all he’s good at.

No Loyalty. At least you're honest.

I would also argue we had the strongest squad in the tournament along with France and Belgium but didn’t quite work out how to use it

And no I’m not slating Southgate at all, just things to learn as we head into Qatar

Did better than France and Belgium and everyone said we had the best attack but an awful defence. Well Pickford and the back 4 and 5 were excellent

When you look at a replay of our goal it’s like looking at a different team completely to the one that played the last hour of the game

They couldn’t handle it that half. Then we went very conservative and conceded a terrible goal

On the other hand he's had us in a world cup semi final and Euro's final. Italy best team in the tournament but we were a very close second.

We have been incredibly lucky with the draw in the knockout stage of the last 2 tournaments. In the world cup we lost 3 games. Belgium in the group, Croatia in the semi and Belgium again. We were lucky to get Colombia and then Sweden in the knockout stage. Croatia in a semi was great on paper. In these Euros again the draw has been fantastic for us. Definitely a missed opportunity and I do think Southgate does struggle to change a game.

I still don’t get how mount got so much game time, looked knackered after 70. Then Henderson came on and off.

how come rashford dint come on at half time of extra time. Was stripped and ready.

Mount (if selected) had better get used to that bench in any future England service. Slightly found out during this little journey.

I have just put all of our Italian lager down the sink, and chucked the pasta and pizza out the window. I’m not bitter though.

The Beeb (Lineker/Ferdinand) finally getting round to questioning tonight's decisions by Southgate. For me, as long as he learns, I'm right behind Southgate; however, with the likes of Foden, Bellingham, Grealish Sancho, he really needs to utilise our attacking options. Criminal if we can't take advantage of them. Shearer saying Kane didn't have one touch in their 18 yard box in 120minutes!

Harry Kane is a striker who woyld walk into most teams, he's justbplayed 120 minutes without having a shot, that's down to the system we play

The subs were shit. We should have won after our dominant first half. Our penalties were shit. And Boosh is a massive tosschops.

It’s not a huge criticism but he did get the big decisions wrong today after half time. He needs to learn as much as the players

Yes but normally sensible posters are saying this means nothing and is no better than losing at any other stage

It feels worse, way worse. Out in the group stages and you kind of know you’re not good enough

Fact of the matter is that everything went perfectly up to the final then- whatever way you want to look at it- we lost to a team who were no better than us and who have a worse squad than us, and we brought it on ourselves.

And no that doesn’t count as slating Southgate, it’s just the truth and I hope we learn from it before Qatar

Let's just appreciate rashfords run up. Perhaps modern footballers just run up and score rather than that bollocks

If we had dominated and lost on penalties I’d be more bitter. We were outplayed for a lot of the game and on the balance Italy probably deserved it.

If we are being 100% honest .

We've had 2 tournaments in a row with favourable runs and one where the final was at home.

We got it wrong in both the semi in 2018 and this final .

We HAVE to learn , nobody remembers the runners up

I’ve backed Italy to win it at 10/1. Those odds looks very generous to me given their form and continuity going into it.

I disagree- had we dominated them and lost on penalties we’d know we went for it, we didn’t tonight and we pretty much beat ourselves.

Ultimately we still don’t know how to win, Italy do, and that’s that.
