Donnaruma is a beast. One big gigantic galactic beast of a fecker.

What a deal for PSG.

Congrats Italy !

Chiellini and Bonucci were simply outstanding and the midfield was brilliant. If they had a striker I'd fancy them at the World Cup too.

Scotland, Refugees Welcome.
Thank you Italy. It really is insufferable over here having to put up with their borderline xenophobic media, poppy obsession, jingoism, and Churchill getting dragged out his grave every time they beat the war drum and bang on about Ahh'r Boys! At least all the bulldog fascist flag shaggers will be battering lumps out of one another long into the night.

Again thank you, Italy. xxx

A world class striker away from being a dominant side.

Well done Italy, better team in the final- we couldn’t cope and were slowly suffocated. I hope Southgate learns from this and we don’t line up as defensively in the future. Obviously a lot of hate for England on this forum and I can understand some of that given the pondlife that makes up some of our fanbase but the team represents the best of England. I was gutted to see the United lads miss. On to the WC #IStillBelieve

Congratulations to Italy

I thought they started out strong but peaked around the Belgium game.

But they have a manager who trusts ALL his players and I think that's why they won it in the end. Some luck here and there but they deserved it, overall they were the best team in the tournament.

I started writing a post but then saw this. I couldn’t have put it any better.

Thank you Italy. I am very grateful. :drool:

Best team all tournament. Played England off the park and England did well to get to penalties, but the deserving team won. Spain the only team that got close to outplaying them

Would love to have Mancini at United. Excellent manager and a true gentleman.

It's crazy to think that the team that actually troubled them most in open play were Austria.

They were comfortably the most impressive team in the group stages, very strong against Belgium in one of the best games of the tournament and then squeezed through against Austria and Spain in 50/50 games.

Today, they deservedly won against an extremely negative side who only really impressed for three or four halves throughout the tournament.

All in all Italy were the best team in the tournament and deserved the trophy.

Seeing Verratti as a EURO champion makes me very happy. Who seriously thought Locatelli could take him his spot in the squad?

A brilliant performance from them. So composed and methodical whilst not being at all boring. Midfield great it tight spaces, some real talent going forward... but of course the 3 at the back with Donnarumma, Chiellini and Bonucci is rather epic. Fully deserved tonight...sadly

Deserving winners. Praise to all, but what a man -- legend of the sport -- is Leonard Bonucci. There are no words to describe how great he was in this game and has been his entire career.
