This is a final of a big tournament. How many finals has Saka been to? Has he had that kind of situation before? Is he even Arsenal's PK taker?

timay:


Exactly. Spanish defenders aren't as disciplined like those old guards of Italy. After England scored early, if it was Spain, England will score more.

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

This is funny

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree. Belotti put in fantastic shifts for Italy when he played for them. He was also good today.

Rockyrascal:
how many minutes did belotti play

TheGoodJoe:


It is down to the coach. If Enrique was the one coaching this English team, I can assure you they would have outplayed the Italians in every part of the game.

It is disappointing they have players working with Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel, Bielsa, Rodgers, Hassenhutl and a host of others and chose to stick with a coach who is scared of playing the philosophy the players are working under every day.

TheGoodJoe:
Southgate is a draw back to English football. Many will get carried away with him getting to finals but he coached that team terribly and it showed in this final game.

The English team could hardly string passes. He opted for a defensive set up after the equalizer.

He is lost with handling creative players like Grealish, Foden, Rashford, Bellingham, Sancho etc.

I hope he leaves that Job soon.

Congratulations to Italy, especially Mancini. He is such a winner and has done a brilliant job with the Italian side.

Very shocking bro. I used to think Mctominay and Fred of Man united where shocking at ball progression, but Rice and Phillips are worse. Those Man united players are levels above them in midfield. At least Mctominay and Fred can ping incisive passes only that they are not consistent.

The fact that Maguire, Shaw and Sometimes stones are the ones progressing the ball from the back for them instead of those two midfielders, was the beginning of their problem in this tourney. Any time they met a decent team , those two guys literarily just surrender the ball to them. The sign has been there since the Pre - Euro friendly against Austria , where those ones outplayed them for 90 minutes, but won via a Penalty, happened against Croatia and Scotland too. They only manage to Outplay Czech and Ukraine in the whole tournament in midfield.

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

Rockyrascal:
would you have thought from the beginning of the tournament england could go all the way to the finals? was there any player you mentioned here he didn't give a chance to feature....england had one of the best performance in tournaments in this EUROs, kudos to southgate and the team.

The minutes wey e play Wetin e take am do ?

I don’t even need him to score before I rate him

Rockyrascal:
bros you and i know say belotti no be playmaker or star player of the team. he makes his contribution in the game whenever he his introduced; was there any sitter he missed throughout the tournament except in the penalty shootout....abeg na who get enough playing time dem dey rate o.

dozai:

They need a bit of skill and finesse to do that. But they don't have it. I guess that's why Leeds are looking in Nwakali's direction.

JohnBullMySon:
Bruh, which site is that. I need to have a good laugh

Afobear:



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

Call me a fool if Italy wins England

Best performance is a joke. They were far better teams than England in this tournament. They were not even close to Switzerland and Austria when it comes to Coordination and bravery.

As I said, people will get carried away with them getting to the finals but if they met the likes of Spain, Italy, Portugal or Belgium along the way they would not have gotten this far.

With the kind of talents at their disposal, it is criminal to use those guys in such a[b] distasteful [/b]manner.

distasteful? a team that conceded only two goals in open play, england played top ranked croatia and germany.

andrew444:


Well you won’t see the bad side as Italy are the champions

Belotti has been poor in almost everytime he comes in
