Can someone who knows about soccer tell me the point of Luke shaw? I see a holding midfielder with no attacking instinct whose signature move is a gentle tap backwards to the defensive line.

Am I missing something?

Aged well.

I'm not soccer aficionado, but he's been my pick of the England team. Looks to be a very smart player and has featured in a lot of the big plays.

I wish someone would tell me I’ve aged well…

@billy-tell you've aged well

Spain v England Final for me

[Billy Tell]

Watching this on German TV on Rab Island Croatia. Bastian Schweinsteiger is one of the experts. I see his wife is Ana Ivanovic. Nice work son.

[MiketheSnow]

Lively start from both sides

[Billy Tell]

So far Spain strikers remain useless. Despite changes.

[Billy Tell]

To my surprise Spain are dominating but the first touch of their strikers is just so poor.

[Billy Tell]

Ha ha. Italy score on the counterattack. That’ll learn Spain for being so profligate.

Great finish

[MiketheSnow]

Spain have wasted too many opportunities

[dogmeat]

But get a very nice goal

[Billy Tell]

Morata of all people scores. Great game

[MiketheSnow]

Fabulous goal from Spain

1-1

[Billy Tell]

Ref is fab. Not buying any BS.

[dogmeat]

Both very nice goals in their different ways but fuck the post-goal celebrations are embarrassing.

I wonder how long they spend practicing their oh so contrived slides and choreographed arm movements. /GOM

[Billy Tell]

Spain deserve to win. They have been the better side. We see what happens though…

[Billy Tell]

Olmo is motm. Been great for Spain and has taken his punishment like a man without rolling around.

[dogmeat]

shootout and Italy's first (crap - telegraphed kick is saved)

[dogmeat]

and Spains first attempt is even worse 0-0
