Arrivederci, it’s one on one! Official Euro 2020 (2021) Thread

Why the guy in your AVI didn't step up to take a kick though ?

Guess he was scared. Game shouldn't have even gone to pens but that's a different discussion.

What's most fukked up is the Italian keeper didn't even make great saves, those were flat out awful kicks.

I actually thought the Saka strike was well placed but he didn't misdirect Donnarumma enough, you can tell he was inexperienced.

Rashford miss is all comfort. That's on Southgate for not playing him but for 1 literal minute and he was on defense.

The Italian Job!!!

The Fake Italians and the real Italians taking the championship in hostile territory.

I’m 3 for 3 in championship predictions (UCL, Copa America and Euros)

Naija to win WC’22, you heard it here first

My god if only

From what I saw though, England did get into several good positions, but they were lacking that final incisive pass in the box. A lot of English players have great athleticism, but lacking technique in the box. Harry Kane was basically a deep-lying playmaker. Did he even have a single shot at goal?

You gotta make adjustments. Kane had a good first half, but once Italy started dominating possession and committing more, put on Rashford and have him chase long balls, get in behind more. Exploit all that space with both Italian CBs having yellows and pressing higher. This is my point with the game management today being weird from England. Many mistakes IMO.

Embarrassingly poor management by Southgate

an example of white racism myopia. he should have known that brehs are under extra pressure.

sancho didn't look at all confident when he was coming on.

Hendo was taken off.

Sterling should have taken one but if he missed it he'd get a media backlash worse than you'd ever seen anyone get. English media is a disease that plays heavily on everything they do.

Ok, I thought Hendo was still on.

I was rooting for England to lose, but Saka missing was worst case scenario, so pissed.. Seriously fukk Southgate..

the racism in England going to be crazy next few days smh..

Nah the racism is going to be bad tonight, then they are going to chill the fukk out. Cause it's about to get hot, it's summer and riots can kick of just like that if they want to play it that way.

They can take several seats as they are all cowards at the end of the day.

Watch them cheer the same team and players they abuse tonight, when the world cup comes around

 

[JLova]

PK is happy about the result.

 

[Premeditated]

A focus France would have beat this Italian team though. England don't have a player like Pogba in midfield. So would Spain if they had Fati.

but I didn't know England never won a european title. I thought

Crap game, says everything you need to know about football today. Pass, pass, pass, go nowhere, can't beat your man off the dribble, no invention,, attacking players making lazy runs and so on.

And once again England has found a way to scare their talent. Shouldve played for Nigeria,Saka.

I agree with this, but you shyt on Neymar all the time and yet he's the last of a dying breed.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

England cacs reaction to losing is why i could never root for them in the 1st place. Just disgusting cacs all around

 

[bear27]

Did 2 or 3 brehs miss
Let's wait for the racist abuse

Because it's coming

Imagine supporting England

 

[dappadonna]

As a black man living in London/UK , I think I speak for the rest of us when I say we're not worried about 'CAC's' possibly taking their anger out on us after tonight's loss . We'll be aight

 

[RammerJammer]

england lack players to control the game (in MF). kane is a better final third passer than any of the MF.

mount was really bad which put extra pressure on the CDM's.
