Has Southgate’s psychiatrist urged him to win this by penalties or something?

Oh would you people stop banging on about cheating. We get it, you're Irish/scot/welsh. You hate England by default, you don't have to make up reasons to.
English players should stop diving so you don’t get upset.

Might be written in the stars for Shaw to score the winner. It's happened before. He scored the opening goal against Italy in the Euro 2020 final one year ago today.

We’ll lose this because of Southgate. He won’t change his favourites even though we’re crying out for something different up top. Kane is absolutely done.

Italy the far better team today tbh. Probably because England pulled back then forgot how to have the ball and attack, but yeah.

Henderson's been dogshit...

A sub made all the more confusing by the fact that Rice was one of the very few England players who actually played up to standard.

They will surely beat you then. You look like you’ve lost confidence and ideas, that’ll surely carry over into the penalties if it goes that far.
Yeah, that's a fair point. It comes down to mental strength at that point. I feel that England's best hope is with the talent on the bench. There's definitely a goal that can come from there.

No pressing at all from England. Standing off and watching Italy pass the ball

He'll have a run at the tired Italian defense now. Southgate masterclass coming up

Veratti and Chiesa off is great for us. Time to show our squad strength now.

Ole not making a sub in final I can understand, the drop in quality was immense, but Southgate who has ton of quality on the bench, even improvements on some players currently on the field and he makes only two changes in 100 minutes....
