Good luck on your soccer game today. I hope your teams win.

I think the Super Bowl of football/soccer would be the World Cup but I get what you mean.
England last won the World Cup in 1966 when we beat West Germany 4-2

It should be renamed flopball.

Given that the main objective is to take an exaggerated dive when a member of the other team is anywhere near you, so that you can get a penalty kick and score 71.5% of the time, which is a huge deal in a typically low scoring game.

This looks like bad news for England.

Foden, Chilwell and White left out of England squad for Euro 2020 final vs Italy

So he says.

Anyway, I'm rooting for Italy simply because I'm with an Italo-Brazilian wench who will be miserable to be around if the other team she was rooting for loses.

My Great Grandfather (Dad's side) was born in London, England. 1891. In a district called Poplar.
I got this in formation from his WW1 enlistment papers through the freedom of information act in Canada.
He was shot twice by machinegun fire at Vimy. Lived.

We watch the whole game and I had no idea what is happening most of the time. Guys falling down and then acting like children begging for attention: he kicked me, he pushed me, he tripped me. They get a flag and sometime they don't get a flag. Or the guy who kicks the ball out of the field gets the ball back instead of the other team? Then there is this big end zone and they can't kick a little ball into it? Get the American football players and show them how it's done. Soccer a sissy sport.

Seriously NFB, maybe you should look for another site to post your drivel?

I feel for England. No major sporting event should be decided with a shootout or penalty kicks.

Agreed. Go with unlimited OT periods, the same way they do for the Stanley Cup.

Yep. Team sport. Live and die as a team. It should not be decided on an individual skills competition.

So Italy won it seems. I don't think we have any active Italian members of SimHQ so that explains the very muted celebratory posts. biggrin

Perfect results on both sides of the pond. Messi gets his international trophy, finally, and good for him. England lose a tournament final on penalties, which is the natural order of things.

Congrats to Italy, worthy winners.

It's easy to pick it apart in hindsight, but I was firmly off the Southgate bandwagon throughout his tenure. Results however have been good, so what I saw seemed to have little actual effect. Managers own their substitutions, and get praised when they pay off, and rightly, should be criticized when they get it wrong. He got it wrong yesterday. Not that he could control those misses, but the fact remains he put on the players who lost the match. Heavy is the head who wears the big hat, and the buck stops with him.

I knew he'd miss when watching twinkle toes run up to take his pen. Just awful, and the football gods are just passing judgement on his ridiculous prancing approach. They have decided, I am sure, that anyone taking a penalty in this manner is doomed to fail. Rashford will live out his life with this burden, as Southgate has since '96. Southgate, paying it forward.

I think 300,000 Enlganders took the day off from work today. What to do? smile


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
