Euro: Final: Italy vs England (Part 2)

[v00d00daddy]

However, I feel bad for Saka, Rashford and Sancho. They will get absolutely butchered by the English press.

me too. Two of them only had 2-3 minutes of play to warm up and get comfortable and then all that pressure on them. Young guys, at home..man. I’m Italian and feel bad for them.

Apparently what I predicted is already happening on social media. Rashford's and Saka's IG accounts already flooded with racist garbage.

 

[Albatros]

Royal family is not cheering now

 

[Jussi]

Thread is acting weirdly.

Also where was Grealish on that penalty shootout?

He has taken one penalty in his career.

Enjoying this with my dad. Possibly for the last time. Mix of emotions

Can only imagine what's that like. Hope I can one day. Enjoy

Hard way to lose but they’ve done a country proud. Congrats to Italy, that must feel great.

This thread is a bigger mess than Southgate's managing.

Such a mess, one semi and a final in two tournaments.

 

[Jussi]

At least Rashford can finally get that shoulder surgery. He's gotta be hungry for "revenge" after being clamped down by injuries in this tournament.

 

[Eisen]

What's up with the board? Nothing works.

 

[Incognito]

Penalty kicks are a gross way to decide a champion. May as well just use coin flip or even a game of rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Well done to Donnarumma you keep criticising by joining PSG. FarmersOnly.com just got a top 3 goalkeeper in the world.

I'm not sure an Arsenal fan is in any position to call any other team farmers.

I never realized how many paisà are in here... or better, how many pips HATE England

I want to see a big comp were talented teams aren't held back by cowardly coaches. Imagine France with Mancini. Or Belgium. Or England. Or Croatia. Instead we are getting our eyes bleached by DD, Martinez, Southgate and Dalic.

FWIW I think we could be in for a surprisingly good period of NT coaching at the big teams. Italy & Argentina already have good coaches. Enrique has his issues, but he has spain pressing like a club team. Then we're getting Flick in to replace the nose-picker and France apparently has Zidane just waiting to replace DD.

If Zidane replaces DD, that would be the best collection of NT coaches at the big teams that I can remember.

Well, England did make it to a Final..

 

[Eisen]

The difference is that Materazzi is a scumbag.

 

[Savi]

congrats to @TP @Juve @TheGreenTBer @N o o d l e s @Incubajerks @Cassano etc.. and others if I forget them

Brilliant tourney from Italy, best team obviously, tough road to the final, also losing Spinazzola too.
Team has a bright future and should be one of the absolute favourites in Qatar next year.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Pedri was Spain’s best player and Spain made it to the Semis. He would have had a great case.

Him or Damsgaard I guess

 

[Shrimper]

Wish we'd go more attacking. Sitting back doesn't work all the time. If we attacked and made it 2-0 it would be all but over.

The difference is that Materazzi is a scumbag.

An effective scumbag.

 

[Albatros]

I'm a fan of this new thread format, very avant-garde.

Onto Kings Lynn away

In North America probably but England/Australia/Newzland/South Africa/Caribbean+Asia Cricket is very bi. Cricket is the clear cut 2 in England and the Brits were huge chokers in that as well until they revamped their developmental program and became good from 2012 onwards

Those guy are going to get slandered for days. Sucks but the world cup isn't to far away. Have a shot at redemption not so far from now

What does it mean clear cut 2? Rugby is a MUCH bigger sport in England than cricket, that's the "clear cut 2". Cricket is THE sport only in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh just going by memory.

Sorry to hear that, please enjoy it all you can.

My nonna died than a year before the 2006 WC.

Thanks! Sorry about your Nonna.

This is what I meant when we were talking about women and I said England games attract a certain kind of fan.
