Massive blow losing Cheisa, change of formation was working so well for Italy.

TIps it back to balance for England for next 10 minutes....if Gareth decides to let them cross halfway line.

Why do you insist on making it such a fecking chore to support you England?! At 1-0 Southgate had every opportunity to change the game with an embarassment of riches on the bench. Saka and Henderson? Yeah, great move!

All the people as usual accusing him of rolling round for nothing look like tits now. Walker blatantly took him out. Thats my confessions outta the way now come on England.

Unsurprising Saka is playing shit. The semi-final was too big an occasion for him, so a final as a sub after you have lost momentum?

Southgate in novice management mode.

Some props have to ge given to Mancini here. He shifted the formation slightly and improved the spacing between the players a lot. Englands passivity sure helped aswell, though.

When you have the initiate like Italy had, why lay down and moan and lose the momentum.

How has time gone this quickly? Only 7 minutes left now, there were like 7 hours of the second-half before the Italians scored.
