England v Italy - THE FINAL - Match Thread

Exiled_Addick

Unsung hero of the tournament for England is Phillips. Not the most expansive player, and I’d like him off free kicks, but what an engine the boy has. 

Croydon

Phillips not taken one decent set piece for about an hour, why's he still on them?

Dreadful free kick

How many have we wasted tonight?

Croydon

Jordan Henderson, running in treacle

Dazzler21

Phillips has done well bar the free kicks.

Italy relying on our history with penalties here arent they

Dazzler21

Fair call by the ref, stones kept his arms in there.

Yep

I know Rashford is but is Sancho a penalty taker too?

NapaAddick

Every time an English player gets ready for a cross there is max 1-2 English players in the box. WTF?

Exiled_Addick

The number of jammy bounces and touches Italy have had. No idea how that didn’t go out for a corner.

Scored against Switzerland in our last shootout

If Foden wasn't injured we'd have won this. 

Chunes

I don't think Saka has been up to the occasion.

Dazzler21

Can't be angry at Saka he's a kid still. Frustrating this is the game where he's looked terrified.

Got to be so hard for a player to be brought on just for penalties.

Addick Addict

We might not make the subs in time for penalties!!!!

ForeverAddickted

We won't get them on the pitch at this rate

soapboxsam

Get the effing subs on this is painful.

A corner is not great timing

ForeverAddickted

Good Henderson off

Laddick01

Hendo off

Dazzler21

Walker off is a concerning one.

ForeverAddickted

We had better not concede here

North Lower Neil

Please don't score when we've just subbed players off.

Huskaris

Substitutions are Southgate's weak spot. 

IdleHans

Don't like subs at corners but running out of time

Dazzler21

Come the fuck on.... Now's the time boys.

North Lower Neil

At least put Saka to right back.

ForeverAddickted

If we have to win in style then penalties will surely be it

North Lower Neil

Haha great tackle Rashford!
