Euros

Classic England:

• home advantage
• score after 2 minutes
• do barely enough for the next 118 minutes
• get an early advantage in the shoot-out
• showboat like a clown
• miss three out of five penalties

Hopefully no rioting in London tonight...

England in a 6-5 barn burner please

Nil all loss on penalties far more likely

Close, 1 all then lose on penalties

Man, have these guys even practiced taking penalties?

It's a England hoodoo and a bit like NZ at the RWC for 27 years.

I was talking about both sides!

Edit I was also up late in the night with German friends as a teen, so yeah I know about the hoodoo

Rashford? He had an open goal and missed.

The other missed penalties were down to good 'keeping

Hey hey hey, it was only 24 years

[Billy Tell]

I feel sorry for Southgate. He must hate penalty shootouts.

I think he should have subbed Kane who had no influence whatsoever over 120 minutes

I guess it isn’t coming home after all….anyway never mind me, just off to troll some English FB mates.

Italia 1990. Was on a train from Bonn to Zurich listening to England /Germany on BBC World Service. German colleagues were incredibly gracious to my English workmates and got them well-pissed the following night.

You would think being paid millions to kick a ball that you could confidently hit the top corner 99% of the time, yet they usually go for the easier option.

Feel bad for the players who missed however regardless.

[KiwiMurph]

I don't get the dislike for penalties. It's excellent drama.

[sparky]

Well done Italy who were deserved winners.

Neesh should focus less on comedy and more on getting back in the Black Caps test team.
