Pickford did his best tonight, but.........
Southgate really went south with his choice of penalty takers, Sancho and Saka, and that was it.
You just have to make more than 2 out of 5 penalties.
Surely more experienced players like Shaw, Walker, even Sterling,can take PKs?

Tbf it depends on who had the bottle to volunteer.

Best team in the tournament probably won...just

Our fate was sealed at the end of ET

Then we compounded the problem by throwing in boys one of which isnt even 18 to take a pen in a huge final...plus subbing on a supposed specialist who fails to even look at the ball on impact

One has to question a couple of senior players not stepping up, but it's not for everyone

Ultimately we failed to get over the line...again although we cleared more hurdles this time

“The longer you go without losing, the more likely it is that you will lose the next match.”

Why? It’s like suggesting that Berrettini should have had a slight advantage over Djokovic in the Wimbledon final because Djokovic won the French Open. Or that people betting on horses should study the form to see which horse is “due a loss” because it keeps winning.

Teams/players generally go on unbeaten runs because they’re good, not because they’re lucky. You mention “the macro & micro variables that influence the outcome of football match” - they’re the things that winning teams/players tend to deal with so well and make work to their advantage.

Italy’s unbeaten run did not mean they were more likely to lose last night.

The Rashford mural in Manchester has been vandalised

Probably the very opposite....success breeds success, & momentum is everything

England had momentum too...but the batteries ran out, & we were NEVER winning a pen shootout

this is the crux of it...but players only have maybe one chance at this...& we left it to boys, & paid the price

I see corbeanau scored for Canada in the game of the day

Imagine comparing flipping a coin to a 30+ match unbeaten run as if there is any relation

Have a little think about all of the macro & micro variables that influence the outcome of football matches. The longer you go without losing, the more likely it is that you will lose the next match. There are countless factors one could list but what's the point, you won't be able to wrap your ickle minds around it.

Sorry that you don't understand statistics.

Go read a book

England out of the Euros after being outplayed by Scotland.

Scotland out of the Euros after outplaying England.

I think that's how the tournament should be remembered instead of England cheating and racisting.

Can't remember Scotland's games tbh. They went out so long ago

Chin up guys. You actually managed as many shots on goal in 120 minutes last night as you managed against Scotland (one). Then you almost found the target again during the shootout. So much to be positive about.

Anyway...I'm off to Sports Direct...I hear there's a huge sale on
