Ah fuck. Always fancied Italy if it got to penalties. Thought the 5 were a weird choice and said to my wife as they came on “I don’t like subs this late just to take a penalty. Puts added pressure on them and no time ti get into the flow.” Especially putting all that on a 19 year old.
So proud of the team though. They left it all out there could’ve won it (or lost it) in normal time.
Yeah what the fuck was that. Use experience. Feel bad for Saka and Sancho.
they shouldn’t be in that situation.
How do you know how they've decided?
What if Saka and Sancho have said they want to be amongst the five?
Management need to have a brain cell and tell them no.
Oh yeaaaa... thats gonna be great if they have to step up at the eighth or ninth penalty knowing their Management team dont trust them - Dont worry will let you lot get back to calling for Southgate's head

The line up was clearly decided before the game even started, which is why Rashford and Sancho were brought on.

Stop with the stupid finger pointing. Southgate had us a couple of kicks away from a major trophy. He gave the penalties to the players who were the best. It didn’t work out on the night

Its a no win situation for Southgate really
Of course not... Even had we won, he'd have had one game before the knives were straight back out

I really don’t like people coming on cold to take penalties, after sitting on the bench for 2 hours
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.

You give the all-important penalty to a 19 year old that has never played in a big game before? Sterling you leave out altogether?
Very poor decision by GS to give pen kicks to the 3 youngsters , esp the 2 that had barely had time to acclimatise.
Hope he learns from this bitter experience.
What huge courage Saka showed to put his name to a pen.
If that’s not their decision then fair play but sometimes you just have to step up.
