    Hate to say it but the better team won. When England stopped attacking after 20 min they let it slip away.

    Fucking stupid substitutions. 

    Why would you give a penalty to 2 players with 2 minutes of game time? and the deciding penalty to a 19 year old? 

    Fucking brainless.

    Should never have put that pressure on the kid. Where was Grealish?

    I’m still proud of this England. Let’s win the World Cup. 

    Come on England!

    It’s the hope that kills ya … No blame attached to Rashford, Sancho or Sako. It is what it is

    Quite.

    All those stuttering run ups should be trained out of them.

    Did they really train those  ??

    Saka didn't look up to the occasion since he came on. I can't believe you would give him a penalty.

    Heartache of 96?! 

    No this was in the bag until Saka was put on. Feel awful for him.

    That hurt.

    Grealish, Sterling, Shaw?

    Never should have gone to Saka.

    Honesty that’s the worst pen line up I’ve ever seen. I’d rather fucking Pickford had one than Sancho. Serial bottler.

    Poor pens, Saka and Sancho's were basically exactly the type of pen a keeper loves.

    Yeah what the fuck was that. Use experience. Feel bad for Saka and Sancho.

    they shouldn’t be in that situation.

    Unlucky Pickford, did his job well.

    Southgate made the call to bring on 2 cold subs to take penalties, and they missed so some of that falls on him

    Baffled why Sterling stayed on if he wasn’t one of the 5

    Least those five had the bottle to step up and take a penalty

    You lot talk about the experienced pros... Ask yourself where they were hiding... classless twats

    3 out of 5 pens missed. 2 players brought on to take them, both take shit ones.

    100% agree.

    2 penalty misses by players who had hardly kicked the ball & were not "with it".

    Sickening to lose on pens but got what we deserved, to attack for 20 mins then sit back the onus was always on Italy to take advantage. 

    3 shocking pens though.

    How do you know how they've decided?

    What if Saka and Sancho have said they want to be amongst the five?

    Minus Scotland we’ve had a great tournament. 

    Ultimately the better, more experienced team won in the final, but it’s a great learning experience to take forward to the World Cup.
