Alexander Sorloth sounds like the name of a Bond villain.

Well, the better side won. He made the decisions that got them to the final, but that loss is squarely on Southgate’s head. Rashford-Sancho-Saka, too much pressure for such young inexperienced shoulders. When I saw Sancho step up to take a pk, I couldn’t believe it, and I’ll bet neither could he.

After Italy tied the score 1-1, I told the wife, England would need a miracle.

Chucky Lozano gets taken down and then take a knee to the head. No penalty?!

[james]

yeah, that’s what I told the wife. “the fix was in”

[james]

I was hoping England would go through, but not like that. Tough break for the Danes. An own goal and a questionable PK. I was very surprised the pk call wasn’t overturned by VAR. Very lucky for Kane to get a kind rebound on a terribly taken PK.

so Italy v England final. England will have to play a lot better than they have. I’m hoping for an England win, but I think Italy will carve them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

THERE HAS BEEN AN ENGLISH FOOTBALL SIGHTING!!

Johnny Cash/Kris Kristofferson – Sunday morning coming down.

This always gives me goose bumps.

Jadon Sancho ————————————————–Ethan Ampadu

Jadon Sancho and Ethan Ampadu. Ever see them on the pitch at the same time?

when it came time for standard’s last subs, salah was one of the lowest rated players. in good conscience, I couldn’t sub him off. although I really wanted to. that’s why I have specific instructions on my line-up not to sub lukaku unless he’s injured or winning late in the match.

spinazzola pulls up injured for italy v belgium, and for celtic v standard. weird.

leno definitely deserved potm. there were three times I was half celebrating a goal and he made saves.

good job Xerxes.

Coming back from half-time, I told the wife, “England are gonna need at least another goal, one is not going to be enough”. She went to take some recyclables out to the bin. When she came back it was 3-0.

[james]

Spinazzola has great season. Gets picked for Italy in euro2020. Has good tourney, maybe Italy wins it. Gets big money move to ?.

FM2022 current ability goes down 1 point. 😫

[james]

Me when Lukaku (my player) is about to score but Spinazzola (my player) blocks the shot at the goal line. and then Spinazolla is about to score but he misses his shot, and then commentator is going on how Spinazzola is having a great tournament with big teams rumored to be scouting him and then he pulls up injured.
