Jolly old England is not so jolly now.

Italy defeats England to win the in the Euro 2020 championship.

I don't follow the game much, but caught the last 10 min.
First chance for England to win this in a long time....and it's all gone.

Sorry about that.

Every 20 or so years they get an opportunity...and they summarily blow it...they tanked...again

I believe the British term is "Bottle Jobs".

Fuck em...and their vampire queen.

On the bright side for England, who cares about kickball?

One more example of the fact that "football" is a stupid, stupid game. Everyone who wasted those hours watching that debacle deserves a refund. Who cares who "won"? The result was bullshit, having nothing to do with the actual game. They might as well have flipped a fucking coin.

It's entertainment.

It wouldn't be entertaining if you knew who was going to win.

We have good Super Bowls some years, and often, we have really bad Super Bowls. That game was an example of a bad Super Bowl, think Los Angeles Rams vs. New England Patriots from a few years ago.

No - a regular coin will do. We don't want any "coin sex" on national TV
What would the children think?

Penalties is not the proper way to play the game.

In the most pressure-filled moment in English football over the past 55 years, the manager selected a 21 year-old and a 19 year-old who've won absolutely nothing in their professional careers to take the spot kicks, after replacing a 30 year-old and a 31 year-old, both who've won everything, with two minutes left in extra time.

Simply one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in sports.

Grealish would have scored

 

[basquebromance]

suck it, England!

 

[AMart]

Grealish would have scored

That guy who kicked the last one for England looked scared out of his mind.

Great point. Imagine the coach is being vilified by the press in England
