It was , of course , sadly too late to prevent Sterling , Henderson and Grealish getting slaughtered in the media for sitting back letting the youngsters take the hit .

It's not just the penalties though.

I'm sure people have very short minds.

They didn't play great the second half. Italy's defence was **** hot and were constantly closing them down.

Regardless of penalties.

If they had played well enough then we wouldn't have even got to penalties. Whether Gareth made the right decision or not.

I agree, the possession in the 2nd half was woeful....we knew that Italy have a passing game and hold on to the ball better than any other team, even Spain, and we didn't capitalise enough when we had the ball.

Having said that...it was still too late to bring on 2 potential penalty takers with 1 minute to go.

Italy only managed 35% possession against Spain ...

It was definitely a struggle to try and get a second goal for sure. I knew it would drag out and end in penalities sadly.

Our early goal probably surprised Southgate as much as everyone else .... but when Mancini reacted and changed things we/Southgate just carried on even though they were completely dominating possession .

So with Italy HAVING to suddenly change their tactics and coming to us more - just Imagine if Southgate had been proactive and taken off Trippier and replaced him with Sancho and gone for two , three or four more goals

thousands of infections from this euro2020 final

probably 2.295 people were contagious at the final, and at the semi finals 375

probably 3.404 cases can be traced down from the final, and 2.092 cases from the semi finals
