Even if he wanted to take a penalty and was allowed he should never have been the final penalty. You have 2 of your most experienced players who are both captains of the clubs and they go first and second? What’s Kane playing at allowing that and not offering to go last as the captain?
I have to agree with you, tonight's match was really deflating after how well we've been doing. Italy started off not so great but soon became better as the game went on, they actually had the ball and had a few close calls with goals and upped their game more as it went on. Even with Denmark I had a major headache and it was such a tense game, we started to panic but still fought hard and pushed through. I feel Southgate's management tonight wasn't great and a bit mismanaged, and he was swapping people last minute for the penalties some of which weren't the best choices or they hadn't had the chance to get in to the game and warm up in it. It's such a shame as we did so well and came so close. Saka had me in tears crying his eyes out and being consoled by his teammates. The Italian player saying "it's coming Rome" was only fair to say it on the camera after how the England fans have behaved and gone on. It's gutting we lost and seeing the footballers upset and in tears as it's their dream, but Italy fairly won and I hope they didn't get too much abuse tonight. The player who grabbed Saka's collar should have been red carded.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🤍
I can see it both ways, Kane going first as our best penalty taker can show strength. Also what if the Italians didn’t do as well/Pickford saved more, surely it’s better to have the best takers first as it might mean the penalty shootout is over before the later takers need to take one. I don’t agree that he should’ve been last with his age and the pressure but I also believe the best takers should go first.
I just have. It seems his Twitter account no longer exists.Search Andy Bone. Poor racist sods getting sacked in the morning

) coach partner said too. Either make the subs earlier or don’t make them.Yes, yes, yes.Don’t hate me but I am a bit disappointed in Gareth Southgate’s management during the final to be honest.

I guess we’ll just have to disagree, you have trust in your keeper and you start well and end well, you don’t leave England’s first trophy to be decided by a 19 year old who’s never taken a penalty. Not when you have 7/8 other more experienced players watching.
This, 100%. We were clearly on top for the first 40 minutes. Italy changed it up and continued to do so after the break, but we didn't do anything about it until whenever Grealish came on, at 75 minutes? We should have made changes MUCH sooner than we actually did. We couldn't get the ball for the majority of the second half. It seemed like Southgate was waiting for something, but what?Don’t hate me but I am a bit disappointed in Gareth Southgate’s management during the final to be honest.

i love seeing any professional sports people with kids, to see how much they love the children but also the lights in the kids eyes. Counting down the days until I can take my niece and nephew to Murrayfield. My brother in law won’t let me take my niece to Old Trafford because he’s a city fan
The racial abuse is the fault of the racist scum not the team manager!
That shouldn’t be happening, that the fans are so rabid the other supporters need an escort! Why does this happening in football? You don’t get it in tennis. Cricket and rugby you may get one or two but it’s never this bad.
