Site Supporter Spider Posted July 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2021 It was nice to be involved. In fairness, Italy we’re better and totally managed Kane out of the game. But to go undefeated throughout an entire tournament isn’t bad at all. Hopefully the younger lads will pick up some experience from the shootout and we could easily win the WC. We will always, alas, have a great deal of wankers in the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for the first 30 minutes that Kane pulled them all over the place and won every header that went up to him , then we started getting nervy and dropping really deep . To be fair though they really ramped it up in the 2nd half , these weren't mugs and their 30 odd game unbeaten run is testament to that.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2021 Italy were the best team in the tournament so deserved to win. Still gutted not to beat them though. Oh, and if FV have any ambition, we need to sign Chiesa ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Genuinely appalled by the numpties incapable of quiet enjoyment without going beserk & being abusive. But pride of place goes to those who crashed the joint, broke into the ground & barricaded themselves into an area reserved for handicapped people. I hate to sound reactionary but chucking them out of helicopters over the sea would be too good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 All my FB seems to be full of people posting about other people posting racist abuse for the three that missed. Is that actually happening or just bandwagon jumping? Absolutely gutted this morning. Bleary eyed school run with the lad... Told him we can go one further in Qatar but only if Bi E stays at home.

All of this, the fan on the pitch, the flares & fireworks the laser pen giving FIFA excuses to refuse any 2030 application for a British Isles tournament.

To be fair though they really ramped it up in the 2nd half , these weren't mugs and their 30 odd game unbeaten run is testament to that. This. Kane was excellent early doors, when we played on the front foot higher up the pitch. Once we sat deep, relying on Mount and Sterling to defend around 35 yards from our goal line, it became very difficult. I'm not sure it was Southgate's directive to do that (unless he believed we could defend the lead), but once that started to happen it was clear we would struggle to create much, and at that point I think we needed to change it a bit. Once we did put on new legs the game evened up again. It was noticeable that once Grealish came on, he went wide, with Saka more central, which I couldn't get my head round. Don't think fitness was an issue whatsoever, just the mentality of the team as a whole- perhaps the occasion got to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Should have had it won by 30 minutes. It happens a lot; why stop doing what works? Not too disappointed; we did well and are improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 12, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2021 From 20 minutes in, they were better than us Our superstars went missing, some of em couldnt be found for the penalties, even I chose bbc Fuck knows why Anyway, all was well in the head of jenas...til italy scored, when in reality they had us sussed early on Could still have won with a bit more luck a good effort....no criticism from me for any of the penalty takers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Wanderer Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Proper proud of this England team and what they've given us during the tournament. But I just can't get my head around that second half - how deep we played, how let them dominate. Italy are a cracking team, but are they that good? Maybe it was just tiredness and nerves. Wouldn't want any other manager taking us to Qatar though. I reckon Evatt will soon have us smiling again next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted July 12, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 12, 2021 Oh, despite how close we went, i still think we need a proper footballing midfielder The 2 water carriers did really well at what they do, but we need to get some guile in there....no reason why it cant be grealish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 The buzz in Wembley last night was utterly utterly electric, if you could bottle the feeling of when that goal went in you’d be the richest man alive. Thought we were unlucky to be beat, Italy were always going to dominate possession, hence the formation and team selection, so it was a completely different game to any other game in the tournament. young side, huge potential, some great youth coming through. The FA had a 10 year plan and they’ve already exceeded it Incredibly proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 England have come a long way since the Euro’s in 2016, every credit to Southgate and his young team. Close, but no cigar - maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks to that, choose the lads who step forward in the night who are up for it. There was a sort of inevitibilty with the penalties. Sako never looked confident with his pen and Rash/Sancho’s were just lame. Gareth got it wrong on the night unfortunately and was outthought by Mancini. Kane should have been subbed on the hour after a poor performance and a fairly shit tornament , we needed fresh energy and Sterling was fairly ineffective throughout the game. Our “big players” just didn’t turn up. Piss off yourself you ignorant git, who’s talking about booing. I’d take reading lessons if I was you you absolute tit.

Maybe instead of allowing ticketing sites and touts to dictate who can go and who can’t by way of affordability, the FA ought to give 500 tickets to each league team to be sold to that club’s season ticket holders by ballot. That would ensure the stadium was full of football supporters rather than rich folk who just happen to have plenty enough ready cash to spend several thousand pounds so he and his family can go to their first ever game.

Absolutely. They expressed their outrage at the ESL proposal because it "excludes real fans", then charge a mortgage payment to watch the national team. Utter fucking bollocks.
