I never understand bringing subs in just for penalties, at least give them some playing time first.

What an awful decision to place that much pressure on an 19 year old. My heart is broke for Saka. Awful, awful decision from Southgate.
I feel so bad for him. That was a very strange decision.

Feel sorry for the boys who missed

Southgate would not of put him up for it if he didnt think he was capable .

Thank you for the great company and looking forward to seeing some/all of you on some other Telly Addicts threads.

Ugh, yet more disappointment. What a choice of penalty takers though.

Congrats to Italy.

Pebbledashery · 11/07/2021 23:01

Thanks everyone. Big love x

MrsJackGrealish · 11/07/2021 23:02

I will never ever forgive Southgate for doing that to Saka.

@Whinge

How can they say no one will point the finger of blame at them.

Of course they will. Just look at Southgate and how it's haunted him over the years. Saka is 19, and now he has this cloud which will loom over the rest of his career. Sad

Yes Southgate said that missing that penalty haunted him for years.

And now his chance to put that behind him is gone.

I think we played amazingly well, better than we have for ages. Italy were clear favourites, and wasn't the case at all when it came to it, obviously they'll be heartbroken but every single player was a part of it, and what an amazing tournament. On the flip side of only 19, if he had scored it would have been celebrated that he was given the chance, pretty sure they are all aware of the possibility of it going to penalties.

DysonSphere · 11/07/2021 23:03

It's terrible for Saka! I didn't realise he's only 19. That's too much of a cloud over his career. Awful decision to put him on

WhiteHartLane · 11/07/2021 23:03

Absolutely gutted - just want to cry

ToodlePipshh · 11/07/2021 23:03

Congratulations to Italy. They’re having a great year. First a Eurovision win, now the Euros!

DuncinToffee · 11/07/2021 23:03

I enjoyed watching Italy this tournament, just not this match

Well done Azzurri

Pickford Is the best England player but Kane not on form in this tournament. Jack Grealish is another stand out talent. Southgate is a great manager and has put together a good solid team with no prima donna but united and professional apart from penalties.

My son is crying :(

@MrsJackGrealish

I will never ever forgive Southgate for doing that to Saka.
Maybe Saka wanted the chance?

Southgate doesn’t strike me as the kind of person to force someone to take a penalty if they weren’t prepared.

JacquelineCarlyle · 11/07/2021 23:04

So sad! Gutted! Well done England and congrats to Italy!

Noterook · 11/07/2021 23:04

@MrsJackGrealish

I will never ever forgive Southgate for doing that to Saka.
For giving a young player a chance? Yes it's an immense amount of pressure, but it is when you play for your country, he obviously had faith in him and if he had scored which was by no means impossible, he would no doubt be commended for taking the risk.
