In a equal society all should have a chance at the ballot. I applied for tickets in the 2019 ballot was unsuccessful how can every celebrity who wanted one got one 🙄.

Maybe some Royals are humble of the position they're put into by birth but they could spend their entire life trying to prove otherwise from the fact they are quite literally defined by their privilege over the rest of us. Compared to the individual quality of life, they are above the average Joe like you or me and they always will be. Maybe Prince William isn't a bad guy at heart, maybe Prince Harry and his wife have been hard done by by the press but it certainly helps building a personality towards accepting others when you go home to the privilege a Royal goes home to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Gutted we lost, Italy are deserved champions, but we more than held our own. You definately were. From about the 20th minute it was like the England-Denmark game where you decided to defend it out knowing there was a quality difference. I just don’t know why you did that because you were so good for the opening but Italy owned that game from there on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not concede a goal for the first 5 straight games. Knock out Germany Lose on penalties to comfortably the best team in the tournament I'd have snapped your hands off I think; so this tournament can't be seen as anything other than a success. Everyone needs to remember that. I agree with you to an extent, on paper anyways. But when you look at our matches Italy was the first 50/50 game for me, and again Southgate has shown he just isn't really a very good football manager. Look at Italy's run to the final, Belgium, Spain then us, all games you'd say are real 50/50's and Mancini showed his worth navigating them through. It really felt like a stars align type situation for us. Had as easy a run in you're likely to get at a major finals, home advantage for most of it including the final. Even the toughest match against Italy we got lucky in that they were missing their best player. Feels like we have really missed a massive opportunity here and I'm gutted and frustrated at how Southgate set us up and the changes he made during the game. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Italy deserving champions for their performances throughout the tournament unfortunately. Well done to Italy first and foremost. We can also crucify moments/selections throughout the game including penalty takers last night, but we shouldn't be anything other than proud of how far we have progressed as a team and a nation. There is a lot of positives we can take from this tournament but its been a step forward. This defeat is going to sting for a while, but hopefully we can use this as fuel for the World cup November 2022. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Faultless campaign up until the final. This may seem harsh but that's how I viewed the game. Show boating has no place in a shoot out 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,399 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Proud of the team, they did so well and there's always next year. Disgusted by the behaviour of some of the fans. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Proud of the team, even more so of the ones who were brave enough to put their hand up and say they'd take a penalty. It wasn't to be. Proud of Southgate and the culture he has cultivated within this squad of players. This team will only get stronger, it's going to be a fun few years watching England. On a much more uncomfortable note, English football needs to take a long hard look at itself after some of the scenes that unfolded last night and some of the stories that I have read since. There is still a significant undercurrent of racism in football and it's fans in this country and contrary to what I said earlier in the tournament, I couldn't give a toss if it's a football wide problem or just England. We need to get our own house in order, I would fully support UEFA giving us a punishment of behind closed door games as we have seen for Hungary. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And I just told you, in many team sports .. Even other football tournaments .. They play for 3rd place .. Sp dont tell me, that the 3rd place winner would take it off, before it rested around their necks .. A silver medal is an honour .. it's not a noose .. Like I said - it depends on your point of view. And the main point of my argument was they shouldn't even be in football. Nobody said anything about them being a noose but they ARE a reminder you failed to win. Nobody likes to be reminded of that. Especially in the immediate aftermath when you're still hurting from the defeat. Last but not least England aren't the only team I've seen do that. Link to post Share on other sites
