Ooof. Nightmare. England can be proud though, there will be more opportunities. Gutted for Saka.

Pasta for everyone!

To quote another thread title:

When will this shit end?

[kalifire]

Well, there you go. The better team won.

Yeah but in the winter. We all get denied any matches during Glasto next year 😕

[jimmillen]

Ah, that sucks 🙁

Performed way better in the tournament than most expected though. And like the pundits have just said on BBC, a lot to look forward to from this England team in the future. 

Staying positive 😎

Inspired subs by Southgate at the end there, really made the difference.

[Crazyfool01]

Absolute shame but let’s hope things don’t get bad around London now or elsewhere … 

[zahidf]

Aghhh

 

Good game and performance overall

but those penalty takers... why have 2 footballers who hadn't touched the ball the entire game? And poor Saka should never have been in the position. 

Pickford was the one I was worried  about but he did his job

The racism that’s gonna come from those three players missing their penalties is gonna be just awful.

Yes, social media is going to need to be monitored and policed  to stop it. 

[HalfAnIdiot]

They did a great job, beaten fairly. 

Well done Italy, watch out next year 🇮🇹😎

If you can’t win a Euros with 6/7 games at home including the final with like 80k England fans in there then I think Qatar World Cup is well beyond reach.

A lot of that is on Southgate imo , putting saka 5th is brutal and taking Henderson off who is most experienced so he isn’t hitting a. Pen is baffling

Fuck Manchester United.

One of the racists on my local team’s forum has already started…

What a great month of football though.

 

[Chapple12345]

Thinking about it, surely this is natural progression 

2018 - lose semi final 

2020(1) - lose final

2022 - win the final 

It's not home just yet, it's now been left with a neighbour

That is going to hurt Saka. Feel for him. It's done now tho, something to watch in the future.

England are on a journey, next year will be interesting.

Shaw scored a great goal. Maguire scored a penalty. Sanchez isn't even a Manchester United player yet and Rashford missed when he hadn't even touched the ball yet! So, yeah fuck Man Utd - fucking prick!
