Football

Poor guys. That’s really shit.

Cav won the Yellow I think

Well played Italy, though.

Best side won, easy.

I love Saka. Nothing will change that.

Good campaign, good team, we never deserve penalties.

Having seen the footage from Leicester Square and the rushing at the stadium earlier, I’m not looking forward to listening to the news in the morning

Public day off
for mourning ?

So, the euros are really second tier. Building for the world Cup next year.

So much this. Fuck the tabloids.

This! First of all!! Brexiters now champion of Europe Fuck NO!

We did nothing to change the game in the 2nd half or in extra time. Too few subs and too late.

Really surprised (given Gareth’s own history with them) that we thought playing for penalties was a good idea. Needed to win in it open play.

Agreed with that, surviving the second half and extra time was an achievement in itself.

This. Bonuci was immense. Gutted for Pickford, he was great this tournament.

Watching the entire game made me think how come England made his goal? Italy started as sheep and end grew as tigers! While they may didn't deserve to win it with Spain I feel pretty confident in say that they well deserved it! Without Chiesa accident, it would well probably finish without penalities.

Exactly. The worst thing was an early goal as that kept the defensive mindset in place.

Yeah could get messy.

I think they will be alright.
Hit the post, 2x saves.

Didn’t hoof it over the goal, and getting to the final was an achievement in itself.

Why do they all immediately take their medals off?

Losers medals. Italy will keep theirs on.

Thnk fuck for that.

Why keep a looser medal?

Pretty good all round, tighter than I thought before it started, plenty to fill the future montages. Maybe won't go to the pub now.

Contractually bound to show up at ceremony to receive it. Reckon a couple will be found in the Thames in some years time. Hilarious conveyer belt of medals at the end.

Italy deserved to win that match, and the tournament.

It is just a game of football. I hope none of the players get too much flack about it. Overall England were pretty good in this tournament.

In future though the manager should just pick the penalty takers based on who was on form on the night. They are all pros so should all be able to score from 12 yards.

Time to catch up with the Tour

And to celebrate Messi winning with Argentina so that crap argument is put to bed
