AnglianRed 6,229 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Well I said as soon as the final was known that we couldn't afford to let Italy take us to penalties...and this is exactly why... Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Oh. Brilliant effort from Pickford. Penalty takers not up to the pressure. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Some really poor pens there. Just hit them, dont fanny around with staggered run ups 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Feel sorry for you guys ,, 😕 When Saka missed that last one .. his eyes totally died .. This could hurt him really bad mental .. Crazy to let a 19 year old take kick number 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 After that, and it's horrible to say, but the thing I'm most worried about is the racial abuse those 3 young black players will get on social media for missing penalties. Well played throughout the tournament, you far surpassed what I expected. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Rashford and Sancho were put on as penalty takers .. They had literally one job .. Crazy tournament .. You did well I understand if you feel gutted Link to post Share on other sites

Well played throughout the tournament, you far surpassed what I expected. Me too. I worry about the abuse Southgate and the whole squad may get. To be perfectly honest they surpassed my expectations, but it still feels like Croatia 3 years ago. The opportunity was there...they just didn't take it. I still don't understand why we were so passive 2nd half and let Italy control the game. If we'd done what we did in the 1st half it could have been very different. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We have ourselves to blame. Trying to out-italy the Italians at 1-0 up. For all they did right they got that spectacularly wrong Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Some terrible decisions made by Southgate in this game, leaving mount on for so long, taking rice off for a poor Henderson, saka instead of sancho, the penalty takers. Other than those opening 3 minutes england just never turned up, reminded me of us in the play off final. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Why didn't Sterling or Grealish take a *** penalty, Pickford was immense he could do no more how many chances do you need to miss 3 penalties out of 5 shocking. Link to post Share on other sites
