You don't put that kind of responsibility on a teenager. We saw it with Mbappe earlier. There are some times that you just have to do tested and trusted.

daveP:


Aspa the other teams will be looking?

If its still Southgate that's in charge, then expect nothing.

Italy has exposed alllllll an amateur coach can use to beat this Southgate XI under 120mins. Alll, not one ounce left.


Germany will wake up before Qatar. Just watch.


This final should send some awakening to the African reps at Qatar. They should be emboldened to cause damage to whoever they meet.


Many didn't even give Italy a Chance. Names don't play football.


Chiesa outclassed Kane and Sterling combined


Barella outclassed Mount amd Rice combined

C&B looking like Impenetrable Forte of Rome, doing what it takes, while Stones and Maguire were busy exposing Pickford over and over and over again, balloooning balls instead of cordinating passes. That poor ball progression at the start of this tournament definitely affected the whole team.

I've learnt alot from this Tourney. I hope others do too.

BascoVanVeli:


That same 19 year old had been carrying arsenal all season. I expected Saka to handle the moment. There's no shame in him missing

andrew444:
Belotti should be among the worst player in this tournament including the copa America

JohnBullMySon:
Oh boy, many people have left the stadium oh.

JayromWrites:


Who are the "Tested and Trusted?"

Sterling will disappoint you.

Harry Kane shouldn't have gone first.. that was the mistake

JohnBullMySon:
Lies.

andrew444:




So una many wey no like England pass me

Well Spain will fight for the Qatar World Cup ,you already saw what they did ,if they made it to the finals it won’t go to the extra time against England

JohnBullMySon:
As I saw him, I just had the feeling he would miss it.

daveP:



Spain?

Okay na. If they jam South America team nko?


Well they play very coordinated truly. I hope its enough to go far.

andrew444:
Chellini is a wicked man ,this man no no say e go fit get saka as son

JayromWrites:
If Italy can keep the ball this well against England


Imagine what Spain would have done


PS: How is Mount an AM?

jihday:
England would have beaten Spain, Spain aren't defensively solid plus they make a lot of mistakes

TheGoodJoe:


That is not true. Spain would have torn this English team to shreds. Even the English approach is a defeatist one.

daveP:



Very Empty. Half left after the Sancho miss.


Southgate sef. Too in control of the team that the Captain is not enough Motivation for Pk.

JohnBullMySon:
England will not pass quarter final in the world cup. Their attack is still very disjointed.

Just say you preferred England to win because you are sounding as if you didn't watch this game.

jihday:
true England play park the bus system but Sterling and Kane would have been too much for their defence plus sometimes Spain can be unimaginative with their attacking play, just sterile possession football.

daveP:



Its like telling an u17 Nacho to take the last pk for an SE semifinal game vs Egypt/Algeria. Too too much for the shoulders.

jihday:
England would have beaten Spain, Spain aren't defensively solid plus they make a lot of mistakes

timay:


They have good individual players but not a good team. Individual brilliance of Sterling brought them out of group stage. Even against Denmark, it was an huff and puff everywhere.

Look at the Italian and Spanish team, look at the way they play and the technical quality they posses, from the coach to the smallest players. Look at the level of coordination in the play compared to England. Even the likes of Austria and Switzerland play good football with their low quality players.

England still has a long way to go when it comes to playing proper football. Fortunately for them, they have individual talents to help them do tournament shithousery by getting into latter stages of competition

You are Winning Nothing .... Call be a bloody bastard if Argentina wins Brazil

Call me a fool if Italy wins England
