Hedgecutter Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Arguably the thing that gives me the greatest joy out of this is the thought of the jingoistic Little Englanders kicking the heads off of dandelions this morning. I specifically mean the Mike Parry-type Brexiteers that were absolutely desperate to politicise this, now left with that gut-churning feeling inside as they know the whole of Europe, not just those Scottish Nationalist Party (sic) supporters, are pointing and laughing at them. All this whilst the harsh reality that the biggest force in Old Blighty isn't quite as competent / superior as they thought they were begins to set in, and the opportunity for any form of a so-called 'last laugh' has well and truly bolted. Yesterday afternoon I would have loved nothing more than to see them get a shoeing, but having seen the final outcome, and despite the evening being torturous, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Glorious. Edited July 12, 2021 by Hedgecutter 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 You know whats a really sad thought though..... Despite the quality of Sterling, or the promise for the future of Saka, Sancho, or the moral integrity and good guy status of Rashford... See if they had scored their penalties and won it, a large number of people in England wold have been thinking that the win wasnt for the black lads. It was for good old fashioned white folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 5 minutes ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: Either way it’s a massive f**k up. Southgates interview suggests it was his choice but you do wonder if the likes of Grealish and Sterling were hiding pre match anyway. I don't think the decision would've been based on Southgate's gut alone. If players are unwilling or look unwilling, you don't force them to take a penalty. The players will have volunteered, of that I'm sure; Southgate just makes the final call. Southgate also isn't the (thankfully rare) type of manager that will hang his players out to dry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Honestly couldn’t have scripted that final nay better. England lose in the most painful way possible and England fans disgracing themselves yet again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Good morning everyone And good morning to Rio Ferdinand who deserves every bit of banter that comes his way. On the game I thought England were far superior in the first half but roles revered in the second half and Italy dominated. Extra time was a bit of nothing really. As much as I am delighted that England lost, I must admit to feeling quite sorry for those who missed their penalty, given their ages - particularly Rashford, I'd much rather someone else missed than him but it won't stop me from enjoying it. In hindsight it does seem to be a bit foolish of Southgate to bring on players specifically for penalties without letting them get a kick of the ball first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed anything? I would not describe Pickford as a quality player. I would add an arrogant, self-obsessed, under-achieving manager who has won nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Southgate chose to replace them with Rashford and Sancho to take the penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your duty and get it up them! I managed to fairly effortlessly pick a team without any of them. Couldn't see Verratti as an option though, oddly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford is 27 now and still makes several howlers each season. A top keeper would have saved Denmark's free kick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who those three are, but I thoroughly enjoyed their reactions to the penalties.

One positive is that he made two saves in the shootout which will probably keep him as the No.1 choice. Wonderful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
