Doesn't Grealish take the penalties for his club?

No he took a couple and missed, team Captain but not penalty taker

It wasn't Germany, or Belgium, or France, or Ronaldo.

It was the best tournament I can remember, including what I still think was the best game of my lifetime.

We gave a good account of ourselves, lost to the better team.

The beautiful game lives!

Well done Italy! Worthy winners.

Roll on the World Cup!

Looked pretty ignorant!

Or arrogant? Which isn't nice.

More than 30 games without defeat tells its own story.

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

From the second half on I will agree, still pretty happy overall.

Anyhow it's all done now, the saddo sweaties can put their avatars back to something that means even less and can ignore the Football thread till the next big tournament, us regular football fans can talk about the upcoming season and look forward to being in the grounds.
Well done ENGLAND.

Can Nicola give us a public holiday tomorrow please.

No doubt plenty of Sturgeon's mob will take the day off anyway, after getting 'pisched up' last night celebrating a team lose rather than a team win. Something you're used to eh! 🧐

You may well be chastised for referring to St Nicola as a 'Krankie ', I've seen it before. 😉

Dull football? Seriously? England have become adept at hitting on the break which is pretty exciting to watch and Italy have played easily the most relentless attacking football of the tournament. If that leads to a dull game I'll be surprised (and disappointed).

You were right, I think it was a pretty entertaining game on the whole.

Result aside it was a decent watch.

I'm sure we could all find images or footage of idiot football fans from every nation.

This is apparently banter. Although what it really is, is a small group of pi$$heads who want to get on the telly. Never mind the millions who like myself, watched it in peace with their families...

Daughter and I watched it in the local along with all the other lads we go to football with every week, that wouldn't be news worthy though would it?

No fighting, no p****ng in fountains and no defacing of public buildings. How boring are we!

That's a pretty damning article.

As for the game, England were undoubtedly the better side for the first 20 minutes but after that it was all Italy, once they shut down the supply to the wings. Chiesa was running riot on the left until he was done by Phillips.

That's an accurate reflection of the game.
