I don’t complain about a 2-1 NHL final score. In soccer it does. AC Milan once won the Italian championship with one goal per game lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I had to leave for a Dr appt a few minutes into the extra time so recorded it. As I'm driving to my appt, I roll past a guy in an England jersey staring at his phone and he suddenly starts shouting and jumping up and down. So much for avoiding any updates!

He fell before there was even any remote contact. That being said, with the right gameplan, Italy will win. Let's hope Mancini learns his lessons from the Spain match.

Taro T Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 They've gone to kicks. 1-1 through 120 minutes. Italy - x-o-x-x-o England - x-x-o-o-o The 2 last minute England subs missed. One post & one stop. And Italy wins! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did England sub in both those guys specifically for the shootout? Based on those terrible attempts, that seems questionable. What happened to stepping up and drilling it? Italy seems like a pretty dirty team. I was waiting for the hockey-style penalty shot after the one guy was tackled by his shirt to prevent the breakaway.

No pressure at all. Yes chiellini’s tackle was a smart foul. Worth the yellow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for the hockey-style penalty shot after the one guy was tackled by his shirt to prevent the breakaway. Sure as heck seemed like they did. Considering they each were only on the field for ~1-1/2 minutes, can't see any other reason for the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
