More often than not, the choice is given to the players whether they feel up for taking a penalty. They're not forced. Really feel for the lads to then come away and get the racial abuse they have is fucking horrible. I still think Southgate is a defensive manager, but I've seen England play some of the best football I've ever seen them play in this tournament. Cool, calm and decisive. This young team can certainly better this.
- Yep. It was perhaps a little cautious but with the serious intent to win the tournament - and he nearly did it. That's progress, which is all you can ask for.Fax_Benson
- In hindsight you could say that but it served us well.Chimp

Saka was thrown under the bus
Southgate blew it

I was waiting after the bus was parked for that moment when Southgate takes the mas k off just to reveal Mourinho's face...but then and again, I'm pretty sure Mourinho would have won it.

UK police investigate racist abuse of England’s football players after Euro 2020 loss

TLDR:
- England were the better team in the first half.
- Italy dominated the 2nd.
- England didn't seem to have a response.
- Southgate waited too long bring on the subs.
- Italy could have had 2 players sent off.
- England looked to be edging it in extra time.
- In hindsight it was a mistake to bring on cold players with so little time before the penalties.
- Pickford did well in the shootout.
- Donnarumma did very well.It was close but Italy edged it.
England have come a long way.
- Football is a game won on very fine margins, unless you're the Ukraine.Chimp
- long way from home ..heheheneverscared
- - Italy could have had 2 players sent off.
could but that would have been too harshoey_oey - We've seen players sent off for less. I think one player sent off would have been fair.Chimp
- only the better team for 15 min in the first half.neverscared
- that horse collar was ridiculous, but I liked that the ref let them play physical and not call ghost penalties._niko
- I thought Sako should've started based on how well he played against Germany. But Trippier assisted the Shaw goal so what do I know. Feel awful for those...stoplying
- ...that missed their pens.stoplying
- Exactly. The fact Italy didn't run away in the 2nd half suggests they are not at their best, and that even in stunned-deer mode, England can still hold on.MrT

mistakes were made, and it's on southgate.
1. going into defense mode after the goal and the whole second half.
2. not playing graelish and saka earlier
3. kids taking pens after playing for 2 minutesbut it was an interesting game. italy was resilient and determined, hard work paid off. respect!

Great game by the Italians, class of the tournament. They showed great patience, grit and determination after being down early. They carried the play, held possession and attacked constantly.
Shitty it had to end on penalties but well deserved.

Unfortunately Rashford, Saka and Sancho are getting a lot of racist comments in their social media account.
I checked a bunch of accounts who left those messages
Some were Irish, Italian, Arab, Swedish, Pakistani, AmericanNot generalizing, just saying that because people think it's Brits who wrote those.
Their comments are not racist, just angry.- feel bad for Saka... who the fuck puts a 19 yr old kid under that sort of pressure? poor kid was in tearsPonyBoy
- "so the British football supporters are not racist toward their own players. What a great bunch of lads!" Said the little German girl :)rzu-rzu
- more like angry racists.neverscared
