To everyone with a vested interest, Good luck today boys.

Hoping we see the culmination of a beautiful tourney with a magical match.

Same here. Fair but beautiful. I don’t want anything to complain about lol. My interest in this game is deep and my connection to Italy is very deep rooted. Both of my parents moved here with nothing and no command of the English language and provided me a beautiful life. I hope Italy wins for them. And anyone with a similar background.

England off to a good start. And when have you ever seen a corner kick without the kicking team having touched the ball?

 

[Sarek]

Italy is moving the ball well, I’d be shocked if it ends 1-0.

 

[Sarek]

Now it’s a game.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Darn it! Come on England!

 

[Bigdog]

That is what happen when you sit back. Need to attack attack always.

Agreed, we need to go on offense here now.

Gareth Southgate is the Jason Garrett of Euro Football.

Cracking open another bottle of wine? Forza Italia!

 

[Sarek]

Both teams look exhausted. Got to dig deep or take your chances in PK’s.

 

[Sarek]

This is it PKs!

 

[Bigdog]

I hate games decided on PKs

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good game, well done Italy.

 

[9darter]

Absolutely love it!

 

[Aviano90]

ITALIA!!!!!

Donnarumma

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

*sighs* That was a shame, but it was a good match all around. I'm proud of England for making it and for the match going to shootouts, but all credit to Italy for that match. Well done to Italy.

I feel ill

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I feel ill

I do too. We really are like the Jason Garrett-era Cowboys, aren't we? Overly conservative, play not to lose, and then losing in a critical spot.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I don't understand Southgate's mindset. We're up 1-0 after the 2nd minute, and we don't go attacking the rest of the game? What were we afraid of? Losing? We lost in penalties. When we were up 1-0, we should have been attacking a lot more to take advantage.
