More than 30 games without defeat tells its own story.

Italy were the best team before the tournament, during it, and against us tonight.

Keep playing until one team breaks the deadlock would be my suggestion. That's what most sports do.
For all the resemblance penalties has to the main game, they might as well just break out stone paper scissors.
That was tried once with the sudden death goal in extra time, can't remember exactly when but must be about ten years ago, unfortunately it just made teams more defensive so that they didn't give the goal away.

I kind of knew we'd lose. I resigned myself to a slim loss,so i prepared myself mentally for it. There'll be many out there tonight having sad dangerous thoughts. Think! It's only a game...life goes on!!
Like i said to my lad, England should be proud of their achievements on the pitch. First final in 55 years is nothing to be sniffed at. How many would have wanted to be in Englands place tonight? I'd guess every other nation in Europe! Still it was England and they gave it a go, pushed them right to the end. Also, it's experience for the youngsters in the team that you can't buy!

Penalties are a skill of the game. You never see anyone saying "Oh there shouldn't be a penalty after a hand ball in the box, it's a total lottery"

Arrogance is right……theyve been hyped up as winner since wednesday, now they lost, they think they can just take the medals off and show pettulance
You're only showing your petulance. Being in the final itself was a great achievement. Every other competitor would have happily took a place in the final. People dreamed about winning. What the heck is wrong with that!?
