yes, but they were large patches in the finals where italy seemed to be really hunting for options... maybe it was because of going down so and that too, from a totally unexpected player like luke shaw... in the first half, i think italy did not have a single shot on target... must have been the mancini talk at break that helped italy end the 90 with 5 on target...Originally Posted by Giggs
argentina defeats brazil in brazil, italy defeats england in england... is the concept of home ground just a myth?
Roy Keane hit out at senior players such as Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling for allowing Bukayo Saka to take the decisive penalty during England's shoot-out defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Keane said: "If you're (Raheem) Sterling or (Jack) Grealish, you cannot sit there and have a young kid [Saka] go up for a penalty ahead of you, you can't. You cannot let a shy 19-year-old go up in front of you. They have a lot more experience, Sterling has won trophies, they had to get in front of the young kid and stand up.
"You have to volunteer. You can't just sit there, you've got to get in front of that young kid in front of you with all your experience and say 'listen, I'll step up before you.'
"You can't replicate for a night like this, and for all their plans it didn't work."
I said I wanted to take one!!!! The gaffer has made so many right decisions through this tournament and he did tonight! But I wont have people say that I didnt want to take a peno when I said I will

Germanye tholpichappol muthal British media and people had been hoping - after entering semi - ''it's coming home'' started. The way they started the game i thought it will be their night too. Poor English...
has southgate or any prominent pundits given an explanation for the bizarre choice of penalty takers? did they think the italians spend their whole time studying kane and sterling and other seniors they did not give youngsters a thought, was it just to surprise them... if that's the case donarrumma did a splendid job..
expect cheythathu donnarumna kondupoyi still 😊
