The score does not accurately reflect how badly England was out played.
Specially on the second half 😬
It’s mind blowing how a small team like England made it to the final
@@anthonyuccello8450 heroic underdogs. Nobody believed they could even get out of the group…and they went all the way to the final. Incredible.
if only italy has a striker that half as good as Lewandowski, england would be long gone
@@thefourthchairman4151 exactly. Even though England played 11 on defense bc they were scared but you're right, they need a good striker
Too funny...England played old Italian 'catenaccio' style, sitting back, 10 men defending....Italy did 65-70% of the attacking, pressing and had the ball, esp the entire 2nd half.....sorry Mr Southgate, no Knighthood for you :-)
And still couldn't beat England till penalties 😳
@@RunWhilstYouCan u have to eat a lot of pasta before beating us 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Si ma il catenaccio non lo sanno fare purtroppo come va fatto perché devono mangiare ancora un po' di pastasciutta
but wasn't that how spain dominated italy with most of the ball , they just couldn't score the penalties
@Steve Ibrahim To be fair to england. They weren't the only nation representing a fallen empire in this game. And Rome's fall was far worse.

Whenever my dreams are absolutely destroyed (which happens very often as an England and West Ham fan.) I say “this is an excellent chance to exercise stocism.” And that is the one thing that stops me from running into a lamppost head first.
@Rob Italy kneeled too.
i assure not enough...
The average team, drunken fans, cocky press and delusional pundits. England in nutshell :D
Couldn’t of said it better myself
Bias commentary as well
drunken stupid aggressive raciste fans
The team isn't average at all though. They're absolutely blessed with talent. Southgate just refused to play half of the talented players on the bench.
Crazy to me to have such a huge bench advantage and not use it in extra time.
There rest of what you said is true though. I was praying I wouldn't have to hear English fans celebrating. Thanks, Donnarumma!

@@-JJ-- i am an England fan and i think Kane is way overrated. He ghosted this whole game today tbh
@@James-uh1isNot overrated, yes he didn’t perform well in the final, even Messi didn’t perform well yesterday . It happens. But we got to give kane his credit for his performance throughout the tournament. Rashford should’ve got in instead on the 2nd half in my opinion.
There will be more misery for England when Dr. Hansi Flick takes charge of the Die Mannschaft
@@James-uh1is sterling does nothing aside dribbling inside the penalty area and waiting contact for penalty lol
Why bring in Grealish so late? And why bring in two penalty takers at 121 minutes…. They never touched the ball before having to take a penalty ? 🤦🏻♂️
Exactly everyone will take it out on rashford and sancho even though they hadn't played a single minute in the game and overall what 60 minutes between the two of them. It's a joke. Southgate got it horribly wrong today
The gaffer is too slow to analyse danger ⚠️ and make the right decisions, subs too late, and not change of strategy pace and rotating player. Then poor penalty selection; off the bench cold 🥶 kids before man 👨 who does that?
Why th3 fck do people think grealish is god? He plays for aston villa ffs
Yeaah Thats my concern mate ! I really want grealish to play 90 minutes from the first group game until now
But southgate favors Mount😬. Sancho / rashford should also come early when sterling already tired
@@jonahbaha5227 18 goal involvements this past season for villa in 25 games. The previous season 21 in 43 matches played. I agree he isn't worth 100 mill... No player is to be honest.... But he isn't exactly overrated just because he plays for villa. Ngolo used to play for leicester and then won them the prem, then was essential in the world cup win, then won chelsea the cl. So he was shite before leicester s miracle was he? No right. Grealish is a little over hyped as most english players are. But it's marginal in his case.
Blame the English Media for putting pressure on them.
Forza Italia🇮🇹
The past 48 hours were like a 40 year throw-back of reptiles feeding off them, great😀
The English media wanted a headline akin to "DIVERSITY SAVES ENGLISH FOOTBALL" so when you realise that, Southgate's poor subbing choices suddenly make sense
@@TheTranceCartel Hehe, you are not right in the head.

@@leo1z
Two wrongs don't make a right.
@Chris Aveiro You are right. But if it was Germany or Ukraine nobody would have made as big of a deal as they did because it was England.
Italy are easily the best team in this tournament, how most pundits thought that England were the favourite baffled me. South gate was cautious all through the tournament, playing it safe despite having a devastating quality squad of players. Mancini outclassed every single manager in this tournament by fully using the squad of players he had to the maximum capacity they could provide.
Italy are deserved Champions of Europe.
Enrique and Spain outclassed Italy mate
France is the best team but their egos are crazy
Look at the difference between the two: Kane had ZERO shots and ZERO chances created. He completed 14 passes in 120 minutes and played the entire game despite having great options on the bench. Italy took off Immoble, Insigne, and lost Chiesa to injury and were able to utilize those subs.

So negative comments should be put Southgate way he’s the one who held off making subs and chose the penalty takers
Playing 6 games at home, played against mediocre teams from starting to the final, got rescued by the ref and var against Denmark and still bottled it. England is the most overrated national team of all times. Italy have better players and less hype. Forza Italia

@iv - Agreed! England's play after Shaw's goal was truly embarrassing! Some of Southgate's selections were ridiculous.
To be fair Jorginho Is 29- 4 on penalties
All that attacking threat? He played the most defensive lineup possible. 5 at the back. Rice and Phillips in midfield. Kane Sterling and mount up top.
@@khamjaninja. exactly .. I can't imagine how stupid he is to push the game towards a penalty shoot out against ITALY
Jorginho and Belotti missed exactly because they just scored two perfect penalties in the last match. That puts pressure on you. I'm 100% sure they were thinking: "The keeper saw my last penalty, he knows, I gotta do better". Belotti changed angle and failed while Pickford wisely stood still until the very last moment, causing Jorginho to overthink it.
Congrats Italy you made an Irish man very happy tonight!!! Commiserations England you should be very proud of your lads tonight

@@jaycage1996 so did England with Rice and Grealish. What's your point
@@jaycage1996 Jorginho was born in Imbituba in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina but moved to Italy at the age of 15. He is of Italian descent through his paternal great-grandfather Giacomo Frello who is from Lusiana, Veneto, and thus earned Italian citizenship as a result.
At one point Italy had 71% possession which sometime doesn’t mean anything but tells you who dominated the game, also, the English coach had to learn how to substitute and don’t make to an 18 years old to take the last penalty
👏👏👌💯🎯
And Croatia vs France, final WC 2018.,had posession 66%,much more shots etc.. Result was 4:2,thanks to referries who support big nations

Italy constantly played offense. Contrary to usual, in this European championship they showed a purposeful game, an offensive maneuver, a modern game. Including the final where England was dominated. Spero si sia capito il concetto. Forza Italia. Ciao.
lol we dominated in attack also, we're not the same Italy as 20 years ago my friend
As Italian myself, I've found quite disrespectful for most of them to take off their silver medal right there... plus, the 55 years stint is likely going to take for them to have the chance to wear another one LOL

Italy the best team in the tournament. England was too negative and lacked creativity. They had an easy group, all games but one at Wembley and only got through because of Sterling's dive.
Hold up,im not taking this lol,Croatia and Chech have good teams
True, but other teams like Portugal and France had more difficult groups.
As much as it pains me, Burley for one of the few times in his punditry career, is spot on. Here's the deal, if you're going to go down, go down with all you bullets fired. Don't leave any ammo in the chamber. Southgate made a decision at some point to go pragmatic and conservative....and it got him to the finals. He went by the if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The problem was this squad had more to give. He had more bullets than he used. In the finals you can't leave Rashford and Sancho on the bench and bring them on in the 120th minute. The move that perplexed me was Saka for Mount. Not that Mount shouldn't have been replace, Saka wasn't the choice. Grealish should have been the option. By bringing on Saka, he couldn't then take him off for Sancho or Rashford. So he waited and once he made the decision to play for penalties the deal was sealed. Bottom line is Burley is correct. Southgate played it safe and tight. They played NOT to lose instead of to win. And, given their history in Penalties, it was a doomed decision to play for the shootout.
Spot on mate
Absolutely hit the nail on the head
But he could’ve defo took saka off, he took he Henderson of after subbing on and jack too last cgame
Well said
Even though Rashford and Sancho are good players, however, they didn't show they could do better than the guyz southgate has been playing over them. Mancini was playing berardi over chiesa at the early part of the tournament. He brought on chiesa late in one of the games and he scored the winning goal with an excellent performance and since then chiesa starts over berardi. Always be ready when you are on the bench so that when you are called you show that you are a better player
England lost when they they decided to park the bus at 3 minutes.
True then they switch to a back 4 after they concede
Parking the bus strategy against a team who literally invented, is cynical. You can't park the bus against a high passing team. They will play with your patience.

Guys, you see, we defeated in the semifinal of the 2006 WC one of the best national teams of Germany, host nation of the tournament, in the Dortmund's stadium full of Germans.
To beat England at Wembley stadium full of 60000 English fans, for us is just a pure formality.
That 2006 game in Germany was simply the best ever. I think that’s Germany’s only loss in that stadium in a century
That Germany team would have torn you into shreds
That italy side was stacked with players in their prime. But 35 yr old chiellini and bonucci was enough to beat England 🤣🤣
Good game, excellent goals.
England simply played like England, like your guys said you like, defending the result, this is what you get when you don't play football, while playing football!!!!
Never learn teams that defend a lead?? You've got 90+ minutes use it!! I wouldn't blame the penalty shootout I'd blame the 2nd goal!

So true
It's Southgate' fault , he has played 2 dm's the whole tournament . Why with all this attacking talent
Why are there so many people hating england so much. Is it because all these irrelevant other countries have had little to offer from a global and historical perspective?

Believe it and get over it.
Marcello Lippi always pick the best kicker as first. The second best kicker as second and so go on.
Italian restaurants in England would be quiet after the final lol
have you seen they waited for the Italian fans at the exit to BEAT THEM UP???
Rephrase: England didn’t play with fear… their manager set them up out of fear, and didn’t allow the players to get a grip of the game… 5 at the back wasn’t required against Italy… this was the time for bravery in selection, positivity in the tactics, and playing to the strengths of the squad which he hasn’t done all tournament in fairness, albeit we made the final… First final since 1966, at home, with a nations tails up and on a feel good wave, he had to be way more forward thinking and capitalise on that! Setting up with 3 centre backs, only two in midfield and Sterling as the only outlet on the counter basically gave Italy a passport to our 18 yard line every time they got possession, while not having to worry what was coming back at them the other way… and by the time Southgate realised this it was already 1-1. By then he’s having to make yet another reactive decision rather than a proactive one much earlier! On the flip side, Italy tried to win the game throughout, and deserve their victory… no blame attached to the penalty takers, even though Rashford really dropped a chance to give England great momentum, I feel Gareth was playing for this from the start, and should be held accountable!
100% agree James, not going to win world cups and euros playing 7 defensive players. Sancho, Foden, Grealish, Rashford and Bellingham all wasted. Played the same way against Croatia in last world cup, far to cautious. We have the players but they weren't used enough, Southgate needs to reevaluate how he needs to set his team up. Italy deserved winners
@@colinward4592 I can totally understand if you have a lack of attacking talent or forward options in a squad, but we are blessed to the hilt! And the whole tournament he’s squeezing 2 to 3 positions max out of all them players, when he should have been building a team and tactical base around 4-5 of them and looking to dominate teams on the front foot… not comparing players/teams but you should always play to your strengths with the cards you are dealt… Spain in their dominant period had 6 or 7 of the best attacking midfield/ball playing midfield players in the world, they often used a false 9 or sacrificed wingers to get the likes of Silva, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets, Alonso etc into their team and it worked wonders! There’s no reason why we couldn’t have lined up with a Mount/Grealish/Foden/Bellingham in a 3 in midfield with a Rice or Phillips behind and then another two out wide from Sancho, Sterling, Rashford, Saka or Grealish/Foden… and as for this 3 at the back business, f’k my life 🥺🤦🏻♂️
Perfect explanation. Southgate has been BLESSED with an easy run of fixtures in the World Cup & Euro's and has come unstuck as soon as he faces a half-decent side because he's not even a half-decent manager. He's a good bloke but no mid-table PL side would hire him. Southgate's philosophy is that he is too scared to lose rather than willing to risk a win. Put Mancini in our dugout and we steamroll to the trophy. Another good batch of England players will fade away under a poor manager.
Did anyone else find Southgate's reaction to the early goal very strange (just stood there with hands in pockets and never cheered or smiled). From that moment on I knew England would lose and sure enough it wasn't long before we reverted to tactics of old by dropping back and switch to defensive mode. You can't let a side like Italy just come at you and dominate the mid-field and I am surprised it actually went to penalties. As for the penalty taking fiasco, who in their right mind at the very last minute would bring on two young players who hadn't kicked a ball in the game just so they could take penalties.... it just made no sense to many of the top team managers who watched the game. There was also a string of top talent on the bench which Southgate didn't bring on to try to swing the tempo of the game back to England's favour, he just let the Italian's take control and this is reflected in the ball possession ratings at over 65%+ for Italy. It was if the penalty shootout was Southgate's game strategy from the beginning, maybe that's why he never celebrated England's goal. The player's did their best against a good Italian side but I can't help feeling they had more to give if only Southgate had been more positive with his strategy.
Forgetting Italy was the superior team. England got a lucky goal which gave them a good chance to win.
Lucky goal, go watch hockey and check your eyes to be safe 🤣

@@AlexVolfhart No it's called perspective. Actually Italy didn't win anything. They couldn't beat Spain in the semis and they couldn't beat England in the final.

just cus England lost doesn’t mean premier league is easier than serie a 😐
@@leo1z But SerieA is far tougher. The tackles which are yellow carded in Premier League are not even fouls in SerieA. SerieA is the most physical league in the world. Anyone who watches all top5 leagues of the world knows this.
@@samizayn5666 Maybe. To be fair I do not watch a lot of Serie A but just because the refs aren’t as lenient does not mean that Serie A is more competitive and harder than the prem.
@@leo1z I am not talking about competitiveness or hardness. I am talking about Physicality. SerieA is more physical then Premier League.
@@samizayn5666 But I am talking about difficulty.
Chiellini: It's the history of England
So happy for chiellini and bonucci to win a title with italy
Ahahah “they would have outrun any Italian player...”, unfortunately this is not a horse race. And Italy played much better. The atmosphere was not “wonderful”, whistling the national anthem, and diving for the whole game (Sterling), or keeping protesting. It’s not this or that player, it’s about winning as a team, and England has always struggled with that.
not the team but the management!
@@videochantel6069 100% agree. Any team that starts 7 defensive players is going to struggle. No wonder the Italian's dominated possession. Italy were better, they deserved to win. What pisses me off is Southgate gets a new contract when the fuss dies down and the losing starts over with the world Cup.
@@ianjohnson4541 All English fans have been saying Southgate was healing English heartbreaks not long ago. English fans are jokes and always blame their overrated coaches and overrated players.I don't see England men will beat the USA women team at Wembley.
Mancini saving football, you love to see it!
I'm British and I supported Italy. Arrivederci!
Lol Why??
Oh Yes, it's coming home
Italy, 4 world Cups
2 european cups
The real home of this game
According to your logic, football's real home is Germany (4 WC, 3 EC). Brazil have 5 WC wins but have never won the EC. They do have 9 Copa America wins however. Are they the home of football?
@@exessex3522 sure, any place but England. They've won the least amount of trophies for a developed European nation but still run their mouths the loudest. No respect for the opposition either. England will never be the home of football.
@@exessex3522 Yes Man, any great football country is the home of football.. Brazil, Germany, Argentina... England won a title without score a goal...55 years ago...oh no it cannot never representing the home of football...maybe the home of drunkers
There are millions of Italians in Scotland. Last week there were millions of Danes, the week before there were so many Germans.
Italy saved us all from noise pollution!🤪
England was abysmal from the second half. After seeing Italy slowing getting back into the game, I was expecting Southgate to bring on Sancho, Grealish and Foden to change the tempo and get aggressive, since sitting back was not helping. But I was infuriated when they were brought in solely for the penalties. Anyone can score or miss a penalty. It has nothing do with a player's skill. Players like Rashford and Sancho are players with skill and pace, who should've been brought on earlier and made to stretch the defense and get behind the Italians. In the penalties, I would've expected Sterling, Grealish and Shaw along with Maguire and Kane for the first five. In short, England deserved to lose. We wasted the talent we had on the bench our ability to control the game. We had the players to beat the Italians but squandered everything. We simply refused to play football. The Italians deserved it.
I think sitting back after scoring in the 2nd minute made an Italian goal inevitable. Only Pickford kept England in it until full time. Kane was invisible because he got absolutely no service. Why leave so much exciting talent on the bench? Sako, Sancho, Grealish should have started. Italy were by far the better team.
So so happy for Italy
England should try and wait for another 55 years😂😂😂
Southgate had the togetherness, England has insanely good players now . But Southgate does not have many tactics . Why bring Rashford to the tournament to take a penalty.
It’s diversity quota. If Gareth did otherwise, BLM protesters would complain England did not let black players taking the penalties.
@@timedone8502 Exactly. Southgate is a nice guy manager. He keeps a beard to keep up appearances and fills diversity quotas to gain 'good will'. Deep down he follows the rules, speaks with reason and sensible tones and not feeling, unlike Mou, Mancini, Pep. His football isn't adaptable a bit like his attitude. That's how England plays. Maybe it's just Englishness. But look at the top 10 goals of the tournament, they are not sensible ideas. England needs creative rule breakers. More artists.
England has always had insanely good players they just can't play in championships. Way too afraid.
Because the boys wanted to go home😂😂😂.
@@timedone8502 don't be silly England have always had good black players. If it wasn't fir sterling England would have been out after the 1st game 🙄
The 3 lions 🦁 turned kittens 💀💀 it ain’t coming home, thank you Italy for the peace and quiet 😁😁
England got what they deserved. Playing at home, the favorites, scored early, then sat back and barely counter attacked. It was as if Southgate just wanted to defend for 88 minutes. When you haven't won anything in 50 plus years, you go for it. I don't care about the penalty kicks (although his decisions were head scratchers), because it never should have gotten to that point.
Not to mention, FIFA referees with a vendetta against Italy due to the Super League fiasco
Exactly idk They called best England coach so far but i say worst coach who’s afraid to attack just defend, no attacking midfield to control ball possession
@@bungpu23 He didn't really look like the best England manager today. I wish him good luck going forward, but he's going to have to answer a lot of questions. Playing not to lose is no way to manage.
England: It's coming home
Italy: No, it's coming ROME ✌🏼 🇮🇹
Italien: it's Coming to Rome 🇮🇹💙🏆💚
England: Lockdown it's Coming home 🤣 😥 🤣 😥
Italy exuded their class throughout, which was difficult to handle by England. 🇮🇹
Southgate was awful tactically after the first 35 minutes. Italy dominated yet southgates subs were made way too late and defensive. How the heck do you put Sancho and rashford on without barely having a feel of the ball in the game, sickening!
@Mr Roffi it’s not about being a hero. They are good players who should have been brought in earlier. Could have contributed meaningfully. When was the last time three black players or white players miss PK all back to back on the same team? England was just unlucky in PK. Don’t take it out on the players race. Zero room for that.
Southgate is the perfect squad manager. Unfortunately, once it's time to pick a team from that squad, pick a formation, and actually manage the game, Southgate is useless.
The better manager won, simple as that
In summary, England got outplayed.
Not quite correct. England never played - well for two minutes only. But you're right that the best team won on the night
@@Steve-fn3zc they had control for the first 20 minutes or so. Had Italy frustrated and yelling at each other. They just couldn’t hold onto that level.
@@Rocchio753 they were very lucky to score the early goal when Italy was still a bit disorganized. after that they were barely seen, didn't do much during their possession, and Italy dominated with over 3 times as many shots and shots on target.
I’m gonna watch the latest Southgate Masterclass episode.

Southgate bottled it on how he choose the players to take the penalties.
Not only that. Not playing your best attacking players throughout the tournament and bringing them on just for the penalties
Italy bottled ENGLAND🟩⬜🟥🤐🤐🤐 TRASH PLAYERS TRASH SUPPORTERS
If England wants to win a major tournament they need a foreign coach like guardiola or pep cos Southgate will not be able to use the talents at his disposal , if u have grealish mount foden sancho Saka and co and you play 3 at the back then u must be stupid or out of your mind
Being in the finale game and playing at home gave a sense of complacency and entitlement. The motto "is coming home" should have read "all roads lead to Rome".
"The Romans founded London as Londinium in 47 AD, later building a bridge over the River Thames and establishing the settlement as a port with roads leading to other outposts in Roman Britain. As the largest Roman city in Britannia, London remained under Rome's authority until 410 AD, a very substantial stretch of time."... for the record
Now ' ITS COMING HOME ' is an immortal meme thanks England fans ahahahahahhahahabahaha
Zitti e buoni ...Forza Azzurri 🇮🇹💙
Ma non saranno zitti o buoni mai. 👎🌹🇮🇹😁
Same guys saying gareth was a defensive genius about 1 week ago
I heard he was only meant to be England's caretaker manager back in 2016 but he got the gig because no one wanted it( so hired they hired him to save face). Team England FA is runned by suits who have never kicked a ball in their lives ...
if Southgate knew how to use his players well he could have even avoided the penalty shootout. England needs a manager that can teach them about ball retention and actual possession like teuchel and guardiola. If u have mount foden sancho grealish Saka and u play 3 at the back with 2 defensive midfielders. Then u play with the fear of losing . This squad is a 4-1-4-1 formation , Southgate could have won this tournament so easily he is just an amateur. U bench foden the same player that Pep guardiola selects over sterling but in England sterling starts over foden this clearly shows the big difference in ingenuity between these 2 managers . Pep is wayyy above Southgate in terms of managerial skills and teuchel is class above him too, I've not even mentioned klopp
As an Azzurri fan for a long time, I am happy we won the long waited cup, but happy too that we defeated England in Wembley.
"it's coming home" HAHAHAHA
To be fair Southgate done a better job than his predecessors but don't think England will get a better chance to win another trophy having played this tournament like a host nation.
He just got a lucky draw
This is why I like ESPN. They go in hard. They don't hold back calling out the real problems. Terrestrial channels are fawning over southgate, still! But not at ESPN. I appreciate that.
BBC and ITV were vomit inducing, might as well let Nicholas Witchell out for a go.
You kneel before your opponents, you fail
Ironically those who they knelt for blew three straight penalties for them!!!
💩🤦🏾♂️
Honestly he's spot on. We had a great tournament overall, proud of them but that's not enough to be champions. You have to step up when it matters most and unfortunately we didn't.
Italy beat the cheats and that is good for football. Sterlings diving got them nowhere tonight...
Their road to final was too easy
England's downfall, as always, was mediocre coaching. Also a somewhat limited midfield, but mainly coaching. Rashford and Sancho should've come in immediately after England conceded and had a go at winning the game in regulation. Southgate was too conservative in his approach, right from the starting lineup.
I left UA-cam and ESPN when Germany lost. Now I’m back what’s up 🤣🤣🤣
The only other team and nation as arrogant as yours just lost the final, and the whole world is celebrating.
1968! Now 2020! Its COMING HOME TO ROME! FORZA RAGAZZI!
You've joined France as a nation which has won it twice. One more to go to equal Germany and Spain. England just failed to join, say, Greece and Denmark who have both won it once. They remain in the same group as Luxembourg, Iceland, Gibraltar etc. who have never won it.
Real "classy" of the england players taking of the silver medal even before they where out of frame. Maby next time we can all agree that England wont win the euros and they dont have to enter so a team that actually values a good tournament with hard effort gets a chanse. I rather that than this elitist "if i dont win you can keep you medal with the wrong color" bs.
Lol wut r u on about they’re allowed to be upset they lost
Stfu no one wants a silver medal, it shows disappointment
Classy or whatever bs you wanna spew the guys just lost a final, its just rubbing salt in the wound
Exactly what I thought, these players walking around like “look at me I’m a winner taking my medal off instantly”. How about you keep your medal on and show honour. Finishing runners up still shows you had a great body of work throughout the tournament.
This was like united in europa league. Cavani was the one actually giving blood and sweat to win, and the most accomplished player there, yet he was the one who kept his silver medal with pride while those bottlers took them out like they deserved more.
England winners of world cup of 2022
Italy deserved this. Best team of the tournament and, though not their best game, they were the best team on the night.
Congratulations to Italy.
After he made the decisive penalty save, Donnarumma was as cool as he was after conceded after only 3 minutes
