Back on the footie thing.
I managed to sit through last nights Italy - Spain match.
Judging by the pace and quality of those teams - We (England) need to up our game and put aside that it isn't a kick about on a Sunday afternoon in the park with a few sloppy mistakes chucked in.
Frickin' eck - I sound like Brian Moore / Jimmy Hill etc etc.

That Denmark game was a bit hairy. England will have to work their backsides off in the final.

I've just tuned into ch4 and the World Cup Final 1966 in colour is on. I presume it will be available on four OD. It should be listed as Final Replay 66

And...that's the end of this thread I never fancied us against Italy, they looked dangerous all the way through the tournament.

England should of won that. Southgate cocked up the pen takers! A 19 year shouldn't be at number five in a pen shootout.

Italy's goal - it is thought was handball. The BBC "pundits" and constant slo-mo replays seemed to think so. Surprised the Ref didn't go to VAR.
Still don't really understand why Southgate subbed two players in dying minutes of the game.
Italy seemed to get away with quite of bit of kicking/pushing/grabbing shirts too.

Yes, Southgate had a great competition except for last game, too late with the subs and odd choice for the pens. Hey ho, what do I know about it. I think he would say they had previously been chosen to take them and practised them with good results, except on the night. I understand the pressure bit, however you can surely train people to cope with that, England could afford professional psychologists to help.
