We are all disappointed but would have taken that a month ago. Beaten by the best team in the world in my opinion. Unplayable in the second half and probably more. We have a young team they will give us more to cheer in the next few years. 3-2 on penalties tough but we gave it a good go over the last month.
Every one of the English subs did very poorly tonight. Not one I can think of that improved the play of the team. Not to mention the shootout performances.
Penslties are shit. Italy took that game by the scruff of the neck after 30 minutes and we struggled to get back. FFS. Our first final in 55 years and we're attacking the youngsters? They'll only get better. Thank you England for a fantastic journey.
Well played England great tournament. The future is very bright with all the youngsters coming through. I think we're gonna be there or thereabouts in upcoming tournaments.. Despite the lottery of penalties I thought Italy just shaded the match
The players don't deserve any criticism for the penalties. They shouldn't have been put in that position with only 2 touches on the ball during the game. And such a young player to take such a pressured penalty.
I don’t blame the youngsters. Saka, Sancho and even Rashford are the future of international football. Fair fucking play for them having the balls to step up and take one.
Youve gotta look at the experienced Pros. Pathetic.
Never understand why finals can’t be replayed 3 or 4 days later but no complaints otherwise; the team did very well throughout and came up against a very good side.
Sad to say but Italy deserved to win over the course of the game. Penalties are always a bit of a lottery, and we lost. It's just too bad I'm afraid. I reckon we'll come roaring back in next year's World Cup though.

The sad reality is we’ll struggle to get a run like that again. I know we’re a fantastic side with a manager who really wants it. I just think this was such a class opportunity to break the curse.
it hasn’t happened and im guttted.
I’ll be honest, as much as he’s been slandered during this campaign we missed Foden big time.
Gutted but loved watching England's progress in the tournament. A semi-final and a final in two consecutive tournaments is so much better than we've been used to so although it's a sickening way to lose out in what could be our best ever chance to win something, we've made a brilliant improvement in recent years. Well done lads and roll on World Cup 2022!

Two inches to the right and it goes in

But for now, congratulations to Italy.

We got to the final, it went to penalties, they missed two - we missed three, they win.
To coin a phrase I detest, "we go again" in Qatar.
In the last minute, so no surprise he took one.
Not 2.
I do think we should’ve been able to put together 5 better takers than thats. Maguire and Kane burrows there’s. Experience is absolutely vital in PKs.
