Precisely.

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

You're such a helmet. Saka stepped up and showed more courage than more senior players.

Just because a player is criticised and they aren't white doesn't automatically mean racism. Sorry to tell you that.

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

For those saying Sterling or Grealish should have taken one, Raheem has scored 2 pens from 5, Grealish did score but has only ever taken 1.

Fair play to those that stepped up, have to blame the manager for trying to sit on a 1nil lead for 90+ mins and making changes at the wrong times. Out coached. He wa being lauded earlier in the tournament and he was very lucky with some of those decisions. Can't win in Qatar with him in charge.

For such a large footballing nation we don't have much success to look back on. I was checking on previous tournaments yesterday and realised we went through a period in the 70's where we couldn't even qualify for the Euros or World Cup. Frankly that's embarrassing, even more so when teams like Greece can win the Euros.
Historically we don't belong with great footballing nations.

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

Unnecessary. Clearly a joke, but if we're going for cheap name calling, then carry on being a bellend.

It is, but you’re more likely to fluff the shot with an almost stationary kick as opposed to one that can still beat the keeper for power if he guesses correctly.

Fair point. Before the game on BBC they said it was Italy’s 10th European final and only our 2nd. Germany I think it was had reached 15

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

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.

Well some right old nonsense on here

In the end it’s our most successful tournament for over half a century and the youngest squad in the competition

Southgate by a country mile is the best manager for as long as I remember - penalties is a lottery and that’s it

Can’t be bothered with the rubbish here and certainly social media - just embarrassing

Donnarumma will be there for another 20 years and probably the best of his generation. That said Pickford was excellent and very hard done by.
