Euros Final - Italy v England - Sunday 11/07 - 20:00

[Lord Camomile]

"Losing this final is progress." I never thought the English mentality was so losers

a) It literally is progress on "losing at any other point earlier in the tournament" and b) whyever would you not think that?

And you've bought yourself that ignore you so desperately wanted.

Dolores would have scored her penalty no doubt

The finals are to win, and much more if you have qualified by stealing from the opponent in the previous phase

 

[Crannadict]

Really? It's part of our national character. Please try to learn more about our culture.

I did not know it

Sterling was robbed a penalty tonight as well.

tbh I thought that was more a pen than the one against Denmark. BBC didn't make much of it, but there was definite contact. Would have been soft, but we've seen worse.

 

[keybored]

Reports of some twats rushing a disabled access gate to get in without tickets. Really disgusting behaviour.

Really disgusting because it was a disabled access gate, or really disgusting that they didn't pay a fortune to get in?

It was not penalty

 

[Crannadict]

Dolores would have scored her penalty no doubt

Dolores was a very sporty woman, despite her very serious back problem

That wouldn't be hard! It all evens out.

I didn't really think it was a pen. Stirling was looking for it. tbh I thought the ref tonight was excellent. All through the tournament they've allowed some contact and physicality to happen while cracking down hard on anything dangerous. Mostly got it spot on.

That should have been a red card for the shocking foul on Saka mind.

 

[Crannadict]

Southgate is a mediocre coach

 

[two sheds]

The advantage rule is hugely better than it used to be. Watching the 66 final today it struck me how many times someone was fouled but a player on their team took the ball away yet it was still brought back as a foul.

 

[WouldBe]

Wasn't really fair them having such a large goalkeeper.

Make the goal size proportional to the keeper, so in his case the posts would be at each corner.

 

[two sheds]

Would only be fair

And Saka's tiny so goals should have been even bigger.

It also was a robbery

Actually there have been a number of studies that show it does not "all even out".

What Chiellini?

By the rules, it's only a red if he's denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. It was a yellow, and he knew it would be a yellow which is why he did it.

Sorry, but England defenders do exactly the same kinds of things.

The studs-up foul on Grealish by Jorghino should have been a red by the standards of this tournament. Wales had a player sent off for less. By that stage of extra time, I don't think it would have made much difference, though.

Why?

 

[two sheds]

England's win over Germany in '66 was a robbery?

 

[tommers]

Do you think she would have scored a penalty against Donnarumma though? He is 7'6".

I think my money is on the giant Italian goalkeeper.

Dolores is dead, are you laughing at it?
