What’s with the eerie silence? :?

The best team won... despite playing at their opponent’s home ground, despite the constant drizzle that neutralized their superior skill.

I reckon there’d be at least another goal for Italy if it weren’t for the constant rain.

As a Cypriot I’m used to painful football results, both with our national team and with our clubs at European tournaments.

All you can do is go back, try to understand why and hope for the best next time.

The only reason Italy won on penalties was the fact that the English had a ...heavy meal, Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding whilst the Italians had ....Spaghetti :lol:

For those with superior knowledge of football, gives us a few pointers about the mistakes Southgate has made then?

The song need not changed. it works just as well as

Southgate should have substituted his players much earlier and more often to give England some fresh legs as the game extended, especially his appointed two penalty takers, which whom both missed as they were “cold” coming minutes before from the bench. Southgate screwed up big time.

As well as playing Trippier when he has not been playing in the last few games. But to put such pressure on such young players from the cold is unforgivable. A good chance to win is now lost. He will also mess up in the World cup too.

Paphitis. Good luck to Ashleigh Barty this afternoon.

Tom Cruise is there and he’s rooting for Ash. :D


She won.

She's a very good athlete and person. I'm sure her opponent is too, but Ash won.

England has a great goalkeeper, but the other players were crap.

I am not biased. :mrgreen:
