O well never thought they’d beat the Italians surprised it went to penalties but still disappointing. I’m working so only missed the extra time but saw the penalties. Not too long until club footballs back which I care about more and I find more nerve wrecking.

Don’t hate me but I am a bit disappointed in Gareth Southgate’s management during the final to be honest. Bringing players on in the dying seconds just to take a penalty without even giving them a chance to play and get a feel for the game and run off some nerves very rarely works out well. And funnily enough both Rashford and Sancho missed and don’t get me started on poor Saka. Southgate said he made the choice in regards to who take the penalties. The blame lies solely on his shoulders for that. It just wasn’t the game to be taking such silly risks and putting so much unnecessary pressure on players. They should have been brought on much earlier, they were stood waiting at the side lines for ages. Grealish should have been brought on earlier too, Henderson was a pointless sub to make, we just left everything too late and didn’t try to get the ball off of Italy at times.

That’s not to discredit all Southgate’s work during the tournament but I hope he works on his in game decision making before the World Cup because it was so frustrating to see such a shoddy performance at certain points in the game. At one point during the second half we had only 21% possession ffs it’s just ludicrous compared to what those players are capable of and what we have seen them do.

Hopefully we can do the same at the World Cup but this time win it instead❤🤍❤🤍

That’s basically what my (very amateur level 😂) coach partner said too. Either make the subs earlier or don’t make them.

Pictures in the mail today of three police officers searching his house. I think the guy's despicable and quite rightly lost his job but could the police could be doing better things?

I know people that have had their house broken into and the police don't even attent and aren't interested in the security footage to catch them.

OH came back with Kettle Chips. Seasalt and cracked black pepper (so salt and pepper then). Very nice too.

I think it was Kate Moss as the commentator mentioned her.
