They got further than we ever thought they could. And even the Italians didn’t find it easy. We will be back.

I watched the penalty kicks at the end, and this seems too arbitrary to determine the winner of the entire tournament. Not sure what the solution is. Perhaps it would be cruel to let them play until someone scored.

@Burnley123 Right, but then wouldn't the nature of the play change based on getting those stats? I don't really know the nature of the game to analyze that. I'm analogizing this to American football, but it doesn't have the same issue with tied scores.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Human1000 Its because its a low scoring game. Rugby almost never goes into extra time. There is no ideal way.

It might change the nature of the game a bit though only to create more incentive to attack, which is no bad thing. Goals scored would remain primary.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Elessar Its as I thought. Yes Spain were the better team in general play against you so they would win on this method.

Its not ideal but I think it's more fair than penalties because it at least reflects a teams performance in the match.

I'm English though and we've lost on penalties every time we've been close to winning. 🤣

It's a game, it's fun...and that's what it's meant to be.
KuroNeko · 41-45, F
@Burnley123 I'm just suggesting we enjoy it for what it was.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@KuroNeko I know this is good advice but its not easy to follow.

@Burnley123 It's a good habit to get into, in life generally.

Agree. I felt terrible for the last English player who kicked and didn’t score and was crying at the end. I was rooting for Italy (I don’t actually care about the game but i’m half Italian so…) and I was found myself trying to console him from my TV. LOL. How heartbreaking was that moment…


I do wish that half the English team didn’t remove their medals soon as they were put on them. It’s still a great accomplishment, and I know it’s disappointing but but it’s still great.

@room101 There is nothing like football for bringing nations together. Or not. 🤣

i think they played very well. Not a sports fan myself, found the game boring but both teams are very skilled.

Bet Beckham was itching to get on the field hahaha saw him with the spectators
room101 · 51-55, M
Couldn't agree more. A fantastic effort all round.

Sadly marred by the behaviour of racist oiks who should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
room101 · 51-55, M
@NiftyWhite Yeah. A load of racist numbskulls started posting bs on various social media platforms about the the three players who didn't score.
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F
@room101 oh ffs. they all worked their asses off from start to finish. people should just stfu about it! It was crushing to see the team in tears after. They all wanted to be winners. People need to stop already.
room101 · 51-55, M
@NiftyWhite Such a horrible end to what has been an amazing tournament. Not the fact that England lost, the behaviour of some of the trash who call themselves England fans.
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
I agree 100%


Its the attitudes we are now seeing that totally ruins the game of football its self for me .

Collectively as a team our boys worked wonders throughout this tournament and achieved the finals , that takes , guts ,determination, skill.

Instead of holding heads high , and conceding with dignity some of the so called fans have reacted in such a disgusting way, they tarnish the effort those boys gave ..& they gave it all.

Penalties is and always will be a lottery. End of lesson.

If there was any cause for concern I would point at The Coach & Manager Gareth.

Ultimately he could have been more strategic & optimised the choice of players throughout the game.

Perhaps if he had done this ..the end game might not of went to Penalties.

Maybe now he will take a leaf out of Italys stlyle of management..who used his players tactically throughout.

Oh well.. still its only a game!

@Burnley123 agree with everything you say, but I can not understand why Kane suppose to be best striker in the world, and Southgate playing him where he is , don’t think he had a touch in the penalty box last night , always on half way line, he needs to be in the box and get the service, so he can do what he is good at scoring goals, he is just being wasted
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Nyloncapes He's good but not last night.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Kae20 Yeah. I posted this in my lunch break before I saw the news so I didn't know.

Its embarrassing that a section of England fans do this.
