Morepork Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Gonna be a huge ask if we get through tomorrow but I feel we’d have a slightly better chance against Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Wonderful. If that game was a bottle of wine it would be an 82 Haut Brion. Well worthy of the final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 The difference between Moratta and Jorghino penalties was not brilliance but simply the keeper diving the right (or wrong) way Fine margins and as i always say there is no such thing as good and bad penalties - if it goes in - good. If it doesn't - bad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 If we get through, I would be tempted to push Sterling or Sancho right up against Bonucci and Chiellini. Both defenders look like a penalty waiting to happen against pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Royds Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Just thinking what a wonderful distraction this tournament is from the pandemic. Great joy to Italy, and hopefully England who have really suffered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not about the way the keeper went with Jorginio pen. His run and stutter made the keeper commit into his dive. He then had the luxury of time in slotting it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't - bad I don't know if it was Michael Owen or Alan Shearer that said this but one or maybe both said they rarely focussed on the placement of a penalty or shot; they just hit the ball in a general direction with as much power as they could and it went in on the majority of times.

bigash_swfc Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I'm loving Gareth Southgate's formation and selection. Phil Foden was initially given a starting position but for me, he was occupying spaces where Harry Kane drops deep. We're better for having Kane's vision and our other attackers running beyond him. Playing the likes of Saka, Sancho, Sterling, Grealish ahead of Foden seems the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dronfield Blue Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well, great game. Assuming we beat Denmark, it should be a great final. We can beat Italy, and hopefully we will. Squeaky bum time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonucci's was slight right of centre, slightly off the ground, pretty much the same as Morata's. Difference is the keeper has gone the wrong way. There are pens that are ridiculous though and are almost unsavable ala Jorginho and Bernadeschi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevertrevor Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 This result means Pickford has won the golden glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
