Donnarumma wasn't anywhere near player of the tournament. Chiellini, Bonucci, Chiesa and the LB that got injured were much more deserving.

Aye not enough being made of this. Personally I would have Jorginho as player of the tournament.

Italy are mentally such a strong side. I’m glad they won as they have been the best team of the tournament and well worth the win.

England have done very well to get to the final and certainly could have won this in the first 20-30 mins. After that they sat back and never looked old doing much then.

I do think that they have had so many advantages, playing at home every match except 1, opponents playing in extreme heat and with huge amounts of travelling, the number of fans in the stadium, easier side of the draw.  If they can’t recognise those advantages then they’ll continue to deceive themselves as to exactly how good they are.

Listened to Southgate this week repeatedly bang on about how much he and his side have learned over the last few years, well tonight proved otherwise. It was a re-run of their last major defeat in 2018.

In their semi-final against Croatia in 2018 they scored after 2 minutes, then sat back for the rest of the game and were given the runaround, before eventually losing an equaliser in the 68th minute. And then losing in extra-time.

Tonight, they scored after 2 minutes, sat back, were given the runaround for the rest of the game before losing an equaliser in the 67th minute. This time they managed to get through extra-time, but lost on penalties.

You can't deny that on paper Southgate has improved England - although their easy route in 2018, and home advantage and relatively easy route this time have obviously helped. He comes across as a nice guy and I'm sure the players like him and he's created a good atmosphere, which for England is half the battle. But it's undeniable that at the sharp end of these tournaments he has been found wanting, and that is because he simply is not a top level coach.

Italy were best team in tournament by a distance imo. Glad they won. Stupid as it sounds, don’t think scoring early  helped England . They sat in all night after that. Was quite a pish game tbf, not many chances
