@mofitzy_ I think it was a big mistake for Southgate to choose his kickers based purely on their performance in training Vs experience in the real world. Penalty shoot outs mostly a mental thing, those 2 young guys had never done it before art a high level.
That and Kane massively underperforming the reasons England lost
I'm not a hueg Kane fan but it is tough to blame him for the loss - unless he was disobeying instructions to come deep. There were times when he passed to give an option to cross but nobody was in the box (as he should be there). In the second half, 7 of the 10 players were defending deep and those up front were just crowded out whenever they got the ball as there was nobody to pass to.

That's the way he played for Spurs. He's more of a threat that way

Oh dear, not only did they watch their side lose the final on penalties but hundreds of England fans who went to Wembley to watch the final on Sunday now have COVID.
Swathes of England fans report coming down with 'Wembley variant' after Euro 2020 final
One fan said he knew of people who had tested positive for the virus and gone to the match regardless

Oh fuck here we go
Lockdown in 3, 2, 1
Hopefully it will take out a few of the fat, white, bald, rubbish that piled into the Italian fans
Good fucking riddance

The Wembley Variant
It’s coming to your home -
@mikethesnow Not sure another lockdown is necessary yet, unless there is a new variant in NE England. Better would be to up the vaccination rate again which is half what it was a month ago.
Sadly the problem is not supply, but younger people refusing to take up opportunities to be vaccinated.

They’ll use any fucking excuse
Mark my words -

Well frankly fuck them
I’ve had it (both jabs), and it’s well reported my thoughts on the whole thing
The youth are fucking selfish imbecilesGet it done
Get the % over the Government’s target
Return to normality -

Of all the fallout over the past week, the feeblest response was the guy at the FA explaining that the shambles at the final would not impact England's bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
It won’t. Take your pick of any country willing to « sweeten » their bid. Such as a hot desert country like Qatar…

@sparky Ronaldo will be happy a) Portugal beat Turkey 3-1 and b) they will fancy their chances not having to play Italy I hope North Macedonia go all the way!
Gareth Bale scored 2 as Wales beat Austria 2-1 to face either Scotland or Ukraine in June

North Macedonia has a population of 2 million - definitely punching above their weight.
Having won it in 2006, Italy's record is remarkably poor since.
2010: Bottom of group finishing below New Zealand
2014: 3rd in group finishing below Costa Rica
2018: Didn't qualify
2022: Didn't qualifyIn the Euros during that period they have made the quarter-finals every time, winning once and runner-up once.
