What did we do between the 3rd and 90th minutes - NOTHING.
Italy deserved it.
I upload videos on football please see if u like
I mean Ofc they deserved it. Italy didn’t rob Spain like England robbed Denmark. Also Italy didn’t point lasers in players eyes
3rd to 120mins not 90th👀
@@mahanmoe imagine, winning against Denmark with a penalty which was not a penalty to then lose the final in penalty. Karma.
ENGLAND DESERVES THIS LOSE..
didnt play sancho and rashford for the entire tournament and subbed them on the 120th minute to take the most important pens in england's history..sounds about right
Well and ironically said.
Yeah, two guys who took ZERO Penalties for their EPL teams last Season, one of them a 19 year old!! Friend of mine says he "set the Black Guys up to Fail" and "The Bookies Paid BIG". Conspiracy theories abound!😀✌💉🌍
@@oswaldjames6295 literally no one on the pitch for the england team took pens in their entire career
@Meatloaf shutup
@@chinteshwarbabu9165 you are following the wrong game . Best you try following darts or something .
He left Rashford Sancho and grealish on the bench for too long and expects them to score pens without touching the ball properly
he did use Grealish for penalty, but should have.
If he didn't bring them on he would have been lambasted for not doing so.
I don't understand the mindset and decision making of Southgate in team selection to play against ITALY a highly defensive team . I personally feel southgate should set a much more offensive team to play against Italy in the first place
Mount is probably from Southgate's baby mama
@@kelvinhosg yes he should have done that
Q. What's the difference between Football and Lassie.
A. Lassie came home.
Ouch! That hurts!
Scoring in the first 2 minutes was a gift on a silver platter. Any other world class team would've at least tried to make it 2-0
Also had a lead in a freaking penalty.
Italy played much better in second half. Liked it.
England started to play defense after 5 minutes, so it was not fun to watch after that
Yeah that’s karma for laser pointers and disrespecting anthems. It’s coming home.
Exactly. I knew by the 35th minute that Italy was going to win as England went on the defensive. Southgate should have brought on someone like Grealish, Sancho or bellingham and gone for the kill.
Federico Chiesa was immense before the injury.
The only player in the italian team - and in Juventus the last year - that always run straight to the goal when he take the ball, instead of looking around for the easy pass.
Quality player
Yes he alone scared England, others offensive players very meh...
He has a Messi thing about him the way he runs straight at defenses .
Reminds me a bit(only a bit) of long hair 2010 Messi
@@stefanocamoni229 Insigne was good after the equaliser too
parked the bus. England bottle it simple as that. don’t over complicate it
Spot on .Southgate has to go
100%
southgate is not even an average manager. i’ve seen better amateur coach’s
@Drew Peacock losers don't win trophies with boring defensive football. Steve Gerrard,Frank Lampard. Anyone but Southgate.
Italy are worthy champions, they were the most consistent team with the most difficult draw... England completely bottled it on the night, the REAL final was Italy vs Spain- that match was of a completely higher standard and England would have lost to either of them
Italy weren't worthy champions they were lucky champion actually they lost with Austria but got offside, and see the easy goal against England. So ltaly was lucky
This is not the time to give a 19 year old an “learning opportunity” by letting him take his first professional penalty
lol, imagine treating a winning goal in the Euro as a training course, what a meltdown.
Southgate logic
LOL That wasn't a "learning opportunity!" Southgate, yes, the same Southgate who apparently seemed to be playing for the draw and to go to penalties (as evidenced by putting in Sancho and Rashford in in the 120th minute for penalties, instead of earlier to try to break down the Italian defense and win) truly had *no better options* when it came to penalties!
How so? Well, because Saka actually *has* taken penalties at the professional level in *the last two years.* Specifically, he's taken *two* penalties, and while he *has* made both, obviously, that is *still* very much *not* a reliable record, and *very much* someone you *do not* want in your Top 5 *at all!*
So why was him being in the Top 5 somehow *not* a miscalculation? Because outside of the 4 players that came before him, compared to players like (I'm only going to name the other players who were on the field at the time, as well as Henderson and Walker who were subbed off in the 120th minute) Sterling (an *abysmal* 2-for-5 on penalties in his career), Grealish (only taken *one* penalty in his *entire* career, and *that* was back in January of 2016 and not even at the professional level), Henderson (only taken *two* penalties in his *entire,* long career, and his *only* make coming in December of *2015),* Stones (never taken a penalty in his entire career), Phillips (never taken a penalty in his entire career), Shaw (never taken a penalty in his entire career), and Walker (never taken a penalty in his entire career), as you can see, *that* record is somehow *still* the *best* one on penalties, because the rest were *so* abysmal (all statistics taken from Transfermarkt, if anyone wants to look them up for themselves)!
So yes, somehow, you almost *wish* he simply was giving Saka a "learning opportunity," because the *truth* of Southgate's decision making was actually *much worse!* Yes, somehow despite having a penalty lineup *that* incredibly thin, he *still* apparently *played for the draw* and was trying to win *on penalties!* Absolutely *awful* game management by Gareth Southgate!
Absolute agree I wonder was he was doing ?
He didn’t want the legacy so he gave it to someone else!! Now Southgate is off the hook
That second half was crying out for an aggressive counter attacking approach to get the second goal and kill off Italy. Instead it was standoffish, frightened and frankly pathetic. England basically ceded the half to Italy, what a waste. Sad.
Italy is one of the best team when it comes to control the tempo of a match, that's why Italy didn't give opportunities to England!
Exactly
I upload videos on football please see if u like 🙏🙏
Karma!!! It’s coming home.
Number 25 for England team was useless as a player 👎🏻
This is the first time I argee with everything Craig said, too negative, underutilized squad and just God awful management
Some awesome dude said "Didn't know England had a home in Italy..."
Southgate should be arrested, put on trial and jailed. I believe that his deliberate lack of care in the final game was the result of racial corporations such as BLM bribing Southgate into diverting attention towards the black members of the team, particularly during the penalty shootout, whether it was originally meant to be good or bad. His capitulation to the media and woke left was the reason he chose Saka, Sancho and Rashford to take the last 3 penalties. Now the fact that England have lost and these 3 great players are receiving tremendous racist abuse is nothing more than a political ploy set up by Southgate to arouse antifa corporations into starting another race war, and making more money for these evil organisations that thrive on chaos, segregation and stereotyping. Gareth has not only ruined the careers of 3 great young players, but the nation, and the aftermath of the event, and the government is not doing anything about it. I encourage others to re-comment this idea and make it viral, this is a very plausible sentiment.
@@ericwilson4250 Well written. What % chance would you give this being fact?
@@ericwilson4250 It’s not racist at all to say that he chose the wrong guys
Penalties were an embarrassment, cause those guys were inexperienced for penalties and they freaked out .
To backlash them is immature, but the coach made a mistake
@@ericwilson4250 PEPE SILVIA PEPE SILVIA
@@ericwilson4250 Eric that seems fairly extreme like the conspiracy theory over Covid vaccines, but I agree Southgate knows how to 'play the game' and gain FA favour and perhaps his focus was also on the visit to Number 10 and subsequent knighthood? For me the main political element to the game was Boris stupidly allowing 60,000 (or more?) fans into the game as he saw political capital in victory (as he did with Brexit when he severely screwed Northern Ireland and that is not going away). Unfortunately the crowd may have put extra pressure on England's penalty takers (after months of empty stadia) .
Score and sitting back was his biggest mistake. 1 shot on target after scoring the goal - not good enough with that Talent.
what talent ---? uk`s biggest player is Kane - never won nothing .... that says everything
Agreed. Need to go for the throat to press the advantage. One goal game would never be good enough.
I don't think they believe in themselves enough like other great teams that actually win cups. It was almost like they scored when Italy wasn't ready..after 30 mins when Italy found their rhythm there was a clear difference between the two teams.
Lack of talent in the England squad. Not good enough period. Kane is the only player that would make it into the Italy squad. Italy’s superior ball possession and scoring opportunities prove it. Get over it.
@@danielnekifor3143 im sorry thats groundless- Sterling was amazing - Phillips and Rice has done well. England exceeded expectations to make the final.
I feel like an idiot for thinking Southgate would sub more young forwards in ET to make the exhausted Italy defense work more.
It was mentally handicapped of him to sub in Rashford and Sancho with 1 minute to go before penalties.
DCL wasted on the bench
@@cjk9763
Just dont make sense. Both of their centerbacks are in their mid 30’s and just came off penalties with Spain and extra time before that. Absolute insanity.
A high school coach would have made better choices
its crazy how many deluded people is out there still.... England had easier much easier side of the draw and they played at home and still got DOMINATED in front of their fans... It blows my mind how they keep talking about all the talent they have but where was that 90 million Declan rice today ? where was that 40, 50 million Philips today they couldn't put 2 passes together... Kane is up there with Lewandowski they say and Sterling is world class player they say against 34 and 36 years of age center backs managed 1 shot on target in 120 mins embarrassing stuff
At least half of the blame, he had two pen shooters who hadn’t touched the ball in the whole game, regardless of their talent your first and only kick of the ball being a pen is not practical or conducive to winning
To Matt Smith: Saka saw fifty minutes of soccer. He was situated sufficiently and should have felt secure in his penalty shot. Southgate is *not* the one to blame. He put professional players on the field for a purpose. Whether it be the first or the one-hundred-twenty-first minute -- they are all *ENGLAND READY* and the penalty takers *should have proved themselves.*
Southgate refused others requests to take penalties, you even hear Grealish offer, but gutless Gareth had his mind made up, Sancho and Rashford were brought on for political ends and it rightly backfired
@@callithowiseeit5806; The England manager, Southgate, secured a system that stemmed from his training sessions. *No one knew who was going to miss.* He didn't succumb to doubt by changing his tactics to the behest of the noble Grealish.
If the coach wanted to dabble with politics, he certainly gave "them" the best opportunity to shine, illuminate and identify the new culture of the nation, being *England ready.* Unfortunately, the dark cloud of lugubriousness hovered around the penalty undertaking.
Get rid of Southgate he`s a looser nothing more ,nothing less .
Should have brought Grealish on THE SECOND HALF TIME ENDED!

By the 70th minute.
Should have started Grealish
I felt cheated by Southgate during that second half. It was an embarrassing retreat.
It's fucking Italy
What were you thinking was going to happen when you have 8 defenders?
You should feel embarassed by booing other countries national anthems, fans that left the Stadium without celebrating their team which finished second and pointing lasers at the opponents penalty shooters. The english team might have deserved to win, but i never saw fans which deserved it less...

Every tournament I hear "England should've won." Whether that was 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010... England's problem is their overconfidence. For example, whenever it goes against Germany, they make comparisons with WW2. A good sportsman's character is shown in the way he deals with victories and defeats. And during the recently Euro, England showed that they were the worst kind of winner and a violent loser. And the result was that not only Italy but the whole world outside the Commonwealth were celebrating last night that wonderful justice. So, at first England should learn to be honourable towards other nations, before they could think about how to become a deserved winner.
Totally agree with you, very well said.
Blah, blah, blah. England’s problem was a lack of confidence, not the other way round. And yes, they should have won - if the manager had let them play in a more attack-minded way.
@@kendobloke3317 won, maybe in another 55 years. Good bye from italy,
And they will keep doing so for next decades
You are not talking about the team , I hope. They were as fair as any other team. I hope you are referring to a lot of crappy fans that England are blessed with. These are complete losers and give us a bad name. These are the same ones who created mayhem in Benidorm before the authorities cracked down on them. I apologise for them, but what can you do, they are born losers in every way and they cannot except defeat. If you think foreigners have a bad time with them, how do you think the English team and manager are dealing with the abuse. The ones who compare Germany to World War Two are too young to know. They would probably be the ones known as army dodgers.
Park the bus for 88 minutes you deserve to lose. Not to mention the diving spectacle and the English fans.
Are you a scotland fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Alex MacKenzie At least Kuipers didn't bought those Sterling dives, and yes he could have book him after what he did against Denmark, pretty sure Kuipers knew about that dive. Where he fails is on Jorginho foul against Grealish, that was a red card for sure.
Not at all us English fans should be put into one basket. Yeah there were so many idiots out yesterday but like any group, there were some like us who are passionate about our country but also we’re raised better than to act like cavemen!
@@junglisticman3525 even during the match against Italy sterling was diving like in a swimming pool.
@@chupacabra0_098 not really a red for jorginio because he was coming straight while grealish was coming down from the side. The ref was just there and the saw the action from his point of view it was the correct decision to give a yellow because it was not his fault if grealish was coming sliding down. The chellini one could have been a red, but it was not near enough the box to give a red thus its a yellow. The decisions by the ref was good.
Italy’s greatest strength is that they don’t have doubts. No matter which player from the whole squad comes in they are just so sure about what they are doing that they don’t get weaker and nobody can dampen their spirit and belief.
No, Italy’s greatest strength is that dumbass Southgate.
Exactly, even when they lose games, it’s because the other team is better, not because they made a lot of mistakes. They have a concrete plan A, but also plans B and C. England don’t have that. It’s an overrated team that got by an easy draw and all but one game they played was at home.
Italy it just a team that doesn't give up especially with isigne on that offense and chiesa making speedy runs and bonucci and chielini and jorghinio time to defend the pass ...Southgate didn't come with a game plan..Italy learn from there mistakes facing Spain and England didn't learn nothing
They are the deepest, most complete team
Their third group match proved to me that their bench are just as zoned in and on the same page as the starters i think 8 subs including keeper. They know each other so well and mancini has an easy time working with such talented and committed players.
They got lucky.
Why negativity? Second place is a GREAT success! When was England last time in the final? Many, many nations would take the 2nd place without asking questions! The team has grown from really an average group of loosely related players into a team that is able of making the nation proud. Maybe we drop the 'it's coming home' nonsense, and see that achievement has been made, and what prognosis is there for the WC 2022
Agreed. England punched above their weight. That said, England was too negative after the goal.
Being happy with second place is a losers mentality. We could of easily beat Italy of we had a decent manager and also tried to continue scoring goals instead of sitting back for 120 minutes
Being happy with second place is suitable for a country who rarely makes tournaments such as wales. Not for england
Why is no one speaking about how good Italy played? All the media headlines are just talking about how bad England were or how they could have done better. ITALY DESERVES PRAISE! The same praise England would be getting if they had won. Forza ITALIA 🇮🇹🏆
Because we are discussing England's mistakes .we'll done Italy best team in tournament. Happy now
because it is the english way
Played negatively since going a goal up, and then didn’t go at Italian defenders on yellow cards. We deserved to lose playing like that.
Italy was just better
For all Italy's amazing attacking.... it still went to penalities. As in THE GAME WAS TIED. If Eng made those penalties and won... everyone be praising Southgate. These doorknobs need to spew a little less.

@@ChristianDoretti if but it doesn't happen
@@ChristianDoretti it could have happened yes , but the subs made it impossible , so Southgate has a blame
Feel bad for Jordan Pickford man 😔 he did so well. Love that guy ❤️❤️❤️
I was so shocked he saved Jorginho’s penalty. He had a great save earlier in the game after Chiesa’s shot. He was excellent this tournament
He did as much as you could ever hope in a penalty shootout from a goalkeeper.
To think he was deemed the weak link in the squad too
Expected him to have some nightmare moment at some point, but it never came all tournament. He did enough in that penalty shootout to be taking home a winners' medal tonight. Get offered two saves out of 5 shots after your team scoring their fisrt penalty and how would you possibly not be winning?
Very mediocre goalie lol
All of it. Training isn’t the final of a major championships. Even Beijing on sancho and rashford with zero minutes to get them up to speed with the game was ridiculous let
Alone saka taking the fifth. Stupid and overthought.
To Paul O'Connor: Saka saw fifty minutes of football and was well grooved into the game. He knew what the ball felt like. Nobody knew who was going to miss.
Southgate's confidence in the England team was further heightened by his analysis back in the "office" training ground.
The manager couldn't rip away his confidence as a leader by undermining his system, even at the behest of the noble Grealish.
Someone else said this perfectly in another video...."England played like a mid level team trying to steal a point from a top tier team "
for not playing grealish and letting a 19 year old take the last pen
sterling and grealish backed off ....and let saka feel all the pressure
He was the last because it's not certain if he would need to take it.
@@marjanp No. That is NOT how penalty shootouts work. The 5th penalty is almost always the most important one. You have your best or second best penalty taker reserved to take that one. Not a 19 year old kid who's never taken one before.
@@tendayi Southgate chose them for the wrong reasons. Do things for the wrong reasons and they always come back to haunt you.
@@tendayi well that’s just not true. Imagine if he saved Kane for the 5th pen and Jorginho scored, it would’ve been over before he took his. I remember the same thing happened with Ronaldo a while ago and everyone was raging that he was 5th but the shootout was lost before then.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t. But the worst thing he did was keep a teenager on that has never taken a professional penalty and take off your captain Henderson. Utterly moronic move and we’d all better get used to it cause the FA will reward him with a new 10 year contract
Grealish is his greatest mistake. Everytime he entered the game England played better but he played only like 30 minutes combined minus the game against Czechs.
I would add Sancho and Fodden to that, and I think there are many more... Saka being the most obvious.
But I totally agree with you. They looked like a different team when Saka left the field and JG came on.
Saka should have never been there in the first place.
I don't understand why Southgate didn't utilize the offensive tools England has. Grealish, Sancho, Rashford and Foden. He was afraid and too cautious. In the first half, Italy is often poor. England could have scored more goals. Plus, making inexperienced players take penalty kicks at this level is really absurd
@@sammyrobinson6526 LoL. Even when playing defensively Italy have posession, how dare you ask Southgate to put attacking minded player. It is not PES. Wake up bro.
@@thegreatbeyond9063 saka didn't leave the pitch, he missed the last penalty
@@soktaunxb3586 England has offensive players that can trouble and score against Italy. Attacking is better and more effective than waiting on the back and letting the Italians do what they want. Southagte's strategy is passive
oh gareth how could you let us down like this AGAIN
03:25 thank you Frank… glad someone had the guts to say it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 no english pundit was going to see past the rose tinted glasses instead of through them! Sterling had 1 great game in the tournament, the rest of the time he spent running into traffic, posing and posturing and slowing down attacks, failing to provide any end product the majority of the time when he was asked to play a final ball to create a chance, and let’s not even talk about the amount of chances he fluffed in amazing positions! A few tap ins aside he was kept on far too long in all the games and in the end, I was pretty much resigned to knowing he was always going to start.. easy to quote hindsight, but does this team score more goals and kill teams off quicker through the tournament if the likes of Grealish, Sancho, Saka, Foden etc start the amount of games he did instead of being used for the odd game here and there and/or being used as impact subs! Overall it was so negative last night against Italy and it’s hard to run with the “oh, it’s a great achievement reaching the final” no, f’k that… as a nation we have to stop glorifying failure and defeat, check the cold facts and be way more attacking and ruthless if we’re to WIN these competitions… especially with that level of talent in the squad!
@Drew Peacock I'm convinced many people are mentally ill, for that thought to even cross their mind when criticizing someone solely based on their performance.
brit media not allowed to criticise mr woke n his team of pampered millionaires
They didn’t take advantage England should have attacked more after 1 goal.
The Italians could easily approach the area of England especially in the second half as much as they needed to score.
It was clear from the start that the referee would let the Italians mistreat Sterling. (Revenge?).
This England player did not participate in the defense, he just walked slowly, especially in the second half, England played defense with 10 players.
Italy put up some defense 💪 to the extent they were impenetrable
Stupid players.
Italy should say thank you in 1-2 amateur penalty kicks (one was ridiculous).
England attacking more would have meant Italy wining by 3 or 4 goals.
England nowhere near the same class as Italy.
Putting in two of the fastest players in the game last min of extra time s pure stupid.
That isn’t what made it stupid. You mean NOT putting them in earlier was stupid. And that is debatable.
Disagree. Southgate used the exact same strategy that worked against Denmark: Trust the core players and only make changes when absolutely necessary. Southgate has been incredibly conservative with his subs this entire tournament.
Bringing on experienced penalty takers right before a penalty shootout is a good call. It just didn't work this time.
@@TheMegallama I think the biggest problem I think it is that Rashford and Sancho plus Grealish could cause a lot of damage to Bonnuncci and Chiellinni that already where booked and against Denmark if it was not because of the penalty maybe England could be knockout by Denmark in penalties
Yes, against Denmark. We were against Italy who are a completely different team. The back 3 for Italy were slow, especially in the late 2nd half. We needed speed. Rashford and Sancho should of come on way sooner. Southgate is stuck in 1996 and he will stay there.
Don't have to be a sports psychology expert to see that it was a great mistake to put young and less experienced players, two who barely had touched the ball in the game, under such immense pressure, regardless of what they have done with penalties in training. Players like Trippier, Hendo or Walker should tackle such circumstances better. This was nothing but a coach blunder.
This has been going on for decades and decades and decades. England come up against real quality in knockout games and we get beat. Honestly , think about it and look back all the way to 1970. We don’t ever win against real quality in knockout games. We just don’t. Spain 96? ( Spain were serial losers at the time) Germany 2021 ( poor German team). Southgate has not changed anything. We’ve just had two tournaments with easy routes and a good draw. When he beats someone good in a crunch game playing some good football then he’s changing things. Bottling it again by parking the bus and hoofing it up field to no one is not good football and we just won’t progress like that. Italy played the game as it should be played and believed in themselves. England froze , played the scoreboard and forgot to express themselves. By conceding midfield they allowed Italy to come back and gain confidence. Not only that it subdued the crowd and took away that advantage. To win big games you have to learn not to be afraid of losing them. The England inferiority complex bandwagon rolls on to the next tournament.
saka looked so overwhelmed, nervous, his kick was quite easy to read!!!! it should have been someone with more experience..
Don't sit there and blame saka the keeper made a decent save, but rashford missed it when the keeper dived the other way so why not blame him
@@fuzxle2150 nobody blames saka , he is a decent player . However I also knew he would miss , he just looked worried and unsure and sure enough it wasn’t a good strike . Southgate has no clues how to nurture young players and needs to go . Saka proved his worth in this tournament nobody doubts that .
Saka had fear and anxiety written on his face when he stepped up
Rashford penalty poor. Sancho penalty stupid - why do exactly what just didnt work. Clueless sheep. Saka should never have taken one - Sterling?

As an Englishman, I agree based on who they beat before the final aswell.
I wouldn't of said a joy to watch, pretty yawn-worthy
Italy got lucky last night they should of had players sent off!! especially chiellini
@@junglisticman3525 Not sure where you get that but let's look at it this way: Sterling took yet another dive 9identical to the Man City vs Real Madrid Champion's League) to get them to the final. Had they called Sterling for the blatant simulation, Schmeichel would have won over Pickford in PKs and you wouldn't had "attended" a final. Thank goodness, because Italy might have been in trouble against a motivated Denmark! Sterling tried 3 more dives in the final but this official was VERY savvy/informed. He bit on one dive but it wasn't in the box.
Deschamps: "Ok, let allow the kid that didn't score a single goal in the tournament and desperate to prove himself to take the last pen. What could possibly go wrong?"
Southgate: "I'm losing my title of most useless manager. I won't let it happen! Let's send not 1 but 3 kids to take the last 3 pens".
Should have used Kane, Sterling, Shaw, Grealish, Mcguire
Should never have gone to pens, England should have attacked more.
Yes they are kids but yet they did very well to be part of the English team to be in final since all these years. Again bend like Beckham, Gascoigne and lampard could not reach final in any euro competition plus World Cup. Let's support these guys.
@@Peter-qj6cx England was playing too defensive, that's on the manager. He's not that good. No it wasn't him that got them there; he's just lucky that there are a lot of good players in England due the Premier League being so good right now.

His strategy is too conservative. Got a goal 2 min in the game and expect the players to hold it the entire game even Harry Kane also came to defend. That's not receipe for success. I feel for the players and the fans.😪😪😪

Sterling?
In the England-Denmark match:
In the 37th minute about, he loses the ball without any pressure, (no one around him), a mistake that led to two fouls won by the Danes, and their goal at 40 '.
As a defender, he almost never approached his opponents, he just walked slowly.
In the final, he allowed himself to become a toy for the Italian defenders to have fun.
@@rp1455 lol he's telling the truth
Southgate shouldn't have made a 19-year-old who's never taken a professional competitive penalty take the 5th penalty in the final. Southgate did decent so far but he got it wrong today.
He got it wrong. He got it wrong. He got it, Gareth got it wrong.
@Alex MacKenzie Exactly, there was Sterling, Grealish, even Henderson could have stayed on to take penalties smh
Saka actually has taken 2 professional penalties, and made 2, which, outside of the four players who went before him, is actually a *much* better record on penalties than *the entire rest of the team (which, if I'm remembering what I read earlier today correctly, *most* of whom have *never* taken more than *two* penalties in their *entire careers,* and the *only* ones who have, like Raheem Sterling, have *abysmal* professional records from the spot, like Sterling's 2-for-5 on penalties in his entire career! Statistics from Transfermarkt)!
In other words, I agree that Southgate *badly* mismanaged the situation, but I disagree on *how* he did so! Let's be honest, the way he parked the bus nearly the entire game, even *after* the equalizer before the 70th minute (which means, he basically parked the bus for 50+ minutes, with the biggest evidence of this being that he left his two fastest and most creative wingers, Rashford and Sancho, out until the *120th minute,* and *only* brought them on for *penalties* and *no* other reason), basically suggests he was playing for the *draw,* and *not* the win, when he *very clearly* had *very limited* penalty taking options!
Either way, I completely agree that this was *terrible* game management by Southgate!
As well as shocking decisions leaving grealish sancho rashford and foden on the bench
Never underestimate team like italy and germany in major tournament and
never overestimate team like england and belgium in major tournament- Deigo Armando Arantesdo Nasemento.
Imagine what England could achieve with a positive attacking manager!!!!
Hasn't happened in 55 years but you are right, it's going to happen any day now LOL. Southgate isn't going anywhere especially with the World Cup looming in 2022 and him managing England to their first final in half a century.
Southgate is solid defensively though. They conceded what, only 2 goals all tournament? I would hope he goes back and rethinks his tactics going forward.
Would've lost against italy counters 4 nil

The game was there to be won in normal time, but England were too scared. 😎
So good to see a discussion of the game that was not clouded by the need to say the right thing so as not to upset anyone. The summary of what went wrong for England was spot on in my view. Southgate should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch this.
Clockwork orange hahaha
spot on, Sterling had a good tournament, but how could Southgate not see it wasn't working for him and leave Grealish on the bench.
Personally think Grealish is the most talented English player I've ever seen
@@hikerwoody182 grealish said he stepped up but southgate chose the shooters, something the pundits said is best left to players and the coach mustn't do.
He considered all these ideas more than everyone else put together.

There are many options available and we need a larger sample size than 7 games to draw accurate conclusions.

Very true
Well said. The diver walking like nothing happened but got killed in final anyway
England’s starting lineup this entire tournament has been dubious.
Very. very negative. Awful to watch for a neutral.
They have the players they just don’t play them 😆
Just want to say that I hate these commentators. Before they were talking about how good England are that in their dream team they would put Southgate over Mancini, but now since England lose Southgate and Sterling are terrible and they knew this all along. They're very swayed by results and why I lose all respect for their opinions.

England are always afraid because of their past failures. Unfortunately the more failures you accumulate, the more you're psychologically hamstrung by them.
It was luck and pure luck 🍀

karma for Sterling's acting in the semi final.

Media narrative goes like this:
Sterling, suddenly brought hypocrisy to a sport dominated by absolute innocence lack of violence, etc.
And suddenly almost all the world asked for revenge
which came in the final (Giorgio Chiellini just didn't pull Saka he also smashed him to the ground),a spectacle for the enjoyment of the revenge seeker viewers. (Perhaps the Italians remembered how they treated the Christians at the Colosseum.)
The long-awaited revenge finally came from the black players of England in the penalty shootouts, who, despite their good intentions, may have subconsciously suffered injuries from the abuse suffered by their ancestors, from the British Empire.
Negative indeed. I can't understand why England play the way they do with the offensive talent they have. Sancho and Grealish and Mount could've won this game in ET.
I agree apart from Mount who was lightweight and didn’t have a good game and allowed Veratti to beat him for their goal.
They don’t have a midfield that’s why
Their attack may be strong but without a maestro what good are they?
Like England has a better team than Italy...

@@ericwilson4250:Your media aren't referring to your goalkeeper who kept 1-1, and kept your dream alive until the last penalty, because of the color of his skin?
To echo Craig's thoughts, i would say that England played almost all of their matches at home. They played in one of the easiest groups, and other than an average Germany side had the easiest road of any team in the knockout phase. Southgate was an average manager in club football who bottled it when it mattered most and has done so again for England's national team; not a surprise at all.
Yes we had the easy route but we didn't make the draw so you can't blame england for that, we went one up and sat back on it when we should of kept attacking, we played right into italy's hands.
If you are so clever then apply for the job yourself
@pete32 adn Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho - really?....
Oh and by the way, I know you'll probably say that they did play. But if they had gave them more minutes to make an impact in this game, they would've won....
@Lenny Roach
All groups at the exception of group F were easy for a team the size of England.
And considering how the group F teams underperformed it's even questionnable to label this group the group of death anymore.
@Lenny Roach FIFA rankings say England's group was the 3rd easiest behind the Netherlands and Belgium.
Also of the 6 teams played by the finalists and not counting the final, England's 6 opponents have a total ranking of 144 with their highest ranked opponent only ranked 10th. Italy's opponents have a total ranking of 89 of which two of them were ranked 1 and 6 in the world and even after that another two were ranked 13 and 17, they faced far tougher opponents.
On top of that you can add that not only did England pretty much play fully at home, they actually conceded just as many chances at goal (attempts at goal) as they created, it’s actually worse than that because they have created less than what they have conceded.
Italy on the other hand have created 3 times as many attempts at goal as England have despite having faced better opposition and have also concede less chances than England have again despite having faced better opposition.
The point I’m making here is that it’s 2 tournaments on the bounce now were England have had a very soft draw which has allowed them to progress deep into those tournaments but that doesn’t tell the real story, in fact it often lies.
A good team should be measured by how they fair when up against another quality team and in England’s case I’m afraid that they fair terribly, they fail to see off the bigger teams probably as many as 8/9 times in 10, have done so for a very long time and they still do so today.
By comparison Italy are like the opposite 8/9 times out of 10 they beat real opponents, their problem usually lies in turning up for those lesser games or at least it has been historically.
That’s the difference here between a team that thinks it’s good and one that has actually proven it.
I’m not saying England are rubbish, far from it, they have a decent team who with the right manager could really make a mark. But, as things are they are not as good as many like to think they are and the two recent good tournament runs had a lot more to do with England's soft opponents than it had to do with England's quality.
You can't defend for 88 minutes,unless,you're Italy!

happy england lost, but there is no denying 2nd place is still an awesome result
As a German I feel for the UK. We had a similar situation in 2008 and 2010 when we had a great team - probably among the four best teams in the world - but were always confronted with the fact that Spain simply was even better. That is what happend yesterday. What the italian team did under such pressure was simply fantastic. Insigne, Veratti, Jorginho hardly ever lost the ball despite the aggressive English pressing. So their victory was well deserved. England has now 15 months to find out how to deal with that Italien midfield, because there is a chance of another meeting in Qatar ... Or hope that the Italians find no good replacements for Chiellini and Bonucci
the moment I saw him subbing at the last minute I thought it was a mistake...you dont sub for penalties
@LittleFlairTee - Etsy Tshirt Store Sub for penalties only always looked like a mistake to me. A player already on the pitch is for sure more mentally ready that a - young - player that spent 119 minutes on the bench.

I agree if Southgate make substitution in last 10 minutes to make their leg ready, he made substitution when the match was only about two minutes left.
