    They intend to scratch OT altogether and go directly to PK. Hahaha.

    The players are playing too many minutes, for club and national team.

    So, Southgate chooses 2 guys with ZERO touches on the ball and a 19 year old to take PKs - I mean that is normal Southgate choked on his own PK in the 90s...

    To be fair, Donarumma (22) is going to be the new Buffon, Top 2 goalie of the next decade.

    Southgate is an idiot. The two players he brought in for penalty barely touched the ball. And why leave the last penalty to a 19-year-old?

    Sako, an Arsenal player.

    You can always count on Arsenal to disappoint in Euro competition.

    Yeah but Rashford hit the post when he went the other way, Pickford had 2 saves too.


    BTW - I believe AMERICA created the PKs scenario to win - so we helped define the game.

    Italy was the first team to win 2 consecutive PK contests, I think Spain failed to do so.

    Hold you to that, I need to research but not today. ;)

    I would make Southgate assistant coach and make someone like Thomas Tuchel head coach or whoever is tactically better in England.

    He is a decent motivator.

    Kudos to Mancini.

    Trashford and Sancho missed their kicks too but sure blame the youngest player on the team, the Arsenal player

    It was dramatic but it was some backyard last goal/basket wins ****.
    pks suck but the full 30mins of extra time is fair.

    I'm pretty bullish about this england side. so many young players that dont seem to have the arrogance of past english players. Players that are not opposed to playing abroad.

    The Phillips guy is a monster player. Most impressive player for england in these euros imo
