Tonight's result is bitter sweet, double edged, whatever cliché you want to use.
So many cunts that I don't know would have been delighted if England won.
But so many absolutely sound people that I do know will be so disappointed that they didn't.

It was a necessary sacrifice.
 
Excellent tournament but I"d go back to 2 qualifying from each group. The 3rd place qualifer gave me a headache trying to figure out the possibilities.
 
Felt for Saka. Too big a moment to be number 5.

Where the fuck was Saint Grealish? Went under a fucking rock that's where. Club captain.. penalty taker for club.. where was he?

The next Zidane probably can't do pens, as you can't do a few pointless tricks and then do fuck all.
 
The fact 'Sako' is trending on twitter tells us a lot about
A- twitter and B - the level of knowledge around atm..
 
Well, let's see how this pans out.
Three black players all missed..
Two of em brought on for pens.

Good job they’re not Muslims because I’m sure you’d have brought that up too! Can’t you get involved without bringing race and religion in to it?
 
That's the gotta be the most enjoyable Italian victory I have watched 🙂

Seems like England gassed themselves out with the high intensity start - after that the possession was all Italy.
 
My mate is a copper down in London. Absolute carnage down there he said. The cunts are running riot.

Standard fare from InGurLand fans though. Just a little excited aren't they. It's fine. Nothing to see here. Jolly good. Bulldog spirit. Tally ho. Stiff upper lip. 2 world wars,1 world cup and 1 little girl. Self preservation society. Great escape. Yes, yes. Vaccine roll out. Got our country back. Tally ho.
 
Gotta laugh at Southgate, why the fuck would you put three kids on penos when you have footballing nation who’s mindset from the moment you a kick a ball is that your nation loses penalties and the players who miss are villains for life.
Southgate or the media didn’t help by banging on about the hurt 25 years on from his miss.

England are their own worst enemies.
Should have been the experienced players. Shocked Henderson didn’t take one.
Walker too.
Fair play Maguire, what a penalty.

Easily the stupidest decision of Southgates reign.
 
Does jack maradona take penos for villa?

Don't think so.

Crazy decision to take off Hendo, he would have scored. The three kids missed.
This.

WTF was Southgate thinking? He's been there and missed. He knows the pressure and he loads it on a 19 year in a tournament deciding spot kick. He should have gone with his most experienced players, Hendo, Shaw, Grealish even Stones.

However Italy deserved to win. Their goal was lucky, coming back off the post after a great save, and they didn't create any other real chances, but you can't argue with 19 shots to 6.

Southgate, as I said once the team was announced, was a coward. We had excellent attacking talent but he decided to pack his defence. Having started with 4-3-3 for every game up to here and only reverted to a back five to defend a lead (Germany and last 20 mins of the Denmark game).

Take the opportunity he said ... he spurned it.
