🇮🇹 were hnds down the best team of the tournament, comsidering they lost Spinnazola and still won. They should be one of the favorites for 🇶🇦

I loved this comment:
Average team, drunken fans, cocky press, and delusional pundits. England in a nutshell.

Great 2nd half by Italy. Mancini's early subs worked well for Italy and their midfield was dominating. What a good game Chiesa had causing all sorts of problems for England defence.
I think referee did a good job with allowing the flow of the game.
All in all it was an enjoyable tourney.

which games (group stage/knockout stage) do you think were the better ones in terms of quality and entertainment?
I liked Spain vs Italy (semi final) , Italy vs Belgium (quarter final) and Spain vs Switzerland (quarter final) the most.
Germany vs Portugal (group stage) , Sweden vs Poland (group stage) , Hungary vs Germany (group stage) , France vs Switzerland (round of 16) and Spain vs Croatia (round of 16) were very entertaining.

I did say if it gets to penalties England will be in trouble because of him.
To be fair Jordan Pickford also did well saving two penalties but with this agile giant of a goalie so cool and composed you always have the edge !
😎
Well deserved personal trophy for him.
German and Italian keepers becoming like a constant quality craftsmanship of porshe and Ferrari.

To be honest, England didn't deserve better after that second half shitshow. They sat back and allowed Italy dictate the game. This is exactly what happened against Croatia in the world cup. Southgate didn't make changes when it was obvious that some attacking flair is needed. Once they equalised he made changes. Too late.
The choice of penalty takers was wrong too with cold players coming on last minute to take vital ones.
Anyway, Italy were the best team in the tournament and won it fairly.

IMO , England lacks a balanced midfield. It lacks a midfielder who can control the tempo and lacks a midfielder with good range of passing and lacks a creative midfielder who can provide service to strikers.
As a result England lost the midfield battle to Itlay's Jorginho , Verratti , Barella (and later on Christante and Locatelli).
Same thing happened in last world cup's semi final match against Croatia. Croatia's superior midfield in Modric , Kovacic and Brozovic took over at some point and dominated the game.

I hear this thing again and again that Southgate choice of players.
If England didn't play conservative football, they wouldn't even reach to final. If they started play open game, they would have lost 3-0. I mean Italy would have loved to see an open game.

I have followed Mancini for years and he was Inter coach for many years. He made amazing Inter team in 2006-08 but Morinho got all the credit. He is just a great coach and a little underrated. He transformed there mentality of the team. I mean it felt like England was Italy yesterday in traditional way. score early, defend 90 minutes. Usually doesn't end up well.
