How did England lose Euro cup 2020?

Italy were on a 33 match unbeaten run going into the final, so only over patriotic English fans should have been confident of a win. Combine that with their dreadful penalty record, and it's hard to win major competitions. They also weren't helped by the ref - Italy should have had a man sent off
@Elessar I think it was a stamp by Jorginho that I was referring to. I'll watch the replay today. 3am is an annoying time 😡 The pen in the semi was soft, but there was contact making it a grey area really
Elessar · 26-30, M
@BeefySenpie I think I've got what you meant, but even that one was pretty late in the game if I remember correctly. In any case at that point our best player (Chiesa) was out, with or without Jorginho or Chiellini the outcome wouldn't have necessarily been different. Considering also that Jorge f*cked up his pen shot..
@Elessar All part of typical football drama. Italy deserved it

Penalties.

If they didn’t have to go into penalties they probably would have won.

@Camelia Sterling brought the ball in for opportunities he didn't have

Because Italy thought they were in a wrestling match.
@Elessar maybe it wasn't the main reason, but it was painful to watch and had nothing to do with football.

@NerdyPotato Okay, then yeah we're in agreement. But so was the controversial pen they've gotten against Denmark, lasering goalkeeper eyes, booing anthems and the at least 4 different attempts by Sterling at diving in our penalty box in order to try to replicate that.
@IloveJ They might think twice before counting their chickens before the eggs hatch next time!!! 🤣
Probably because they were too busy watching the news reports of the fans behaving like a pack of wild animals on their way to the stadium... and the players spent the whole match face palming them for their damn stupidity!!! 😡

Where the Hell did Italy get that large Goalkeeper from, it shouldn't be allowed to have such a large Keeper.

Already all the Italians are driving around my village 👎
Elessar · 26-30, M
@JimboSaturn We may consider hiring Sterling in some club then

I’m fairness they came second, that’s not bad at all

I watched the game. I could be wrong, but my guess would be Italy played better? That and a giant Italian goalkeeper.

By being worse at football than the opposition.
