Sorry but if you know anything about twitter and the aftermath of a big game, then you know all the racists and trolls target the losing teams black players. So when 3 black players miss penalties in the Euros final, it is bound to be a s***show! Unfortunately it's just the current state of play. But you want to criticise when he made a comment that has proved 100 percent correct. I find it insulting, because that is the the head in the sand behaviour that allows that crap to continue. People are free to say what they want, so long as their racism doesn't manifest in the physical. And yes the we show be thick skinned and ignore the idiots. But people with racist views are at the very least ignorant, and people that say the racist abuse isn't that bad, or deny it are ignorant at the very least also.

Penalties are a lottery. When you play as negatively as England did, you expect to have to play the lottery. If you want to take matters into your own hands, you have to show true ambition and play to win, not play to not get beat!

Unfortunately he may be right! The scapegoating around penalty misses is never pretty.

It's a shame, ultimately Southgate was too cautious. Italy played the best football in the this tournament and deserved to win. England with better attackers played uninspiring football, got a great draw and blagged their way to a final. So while I'm sad and disappointed, I'm not heartbroken or distraught in the way I have been in previous penalty defeats.

Well if he was on his way he'd be a superstar now. I personally think he always looked better as an attacking 8, than a proper 10. Apparently he doesn't train hard enough, so if true he will never achieve his full potential. I never felt he'd be a top number 10. However I did feel he could become a top goal scoring box to box like Lampard. Dele Ali simply doesn't have the technique and touch to be a top number 10. I if doesn't matter if Dele Ali came to Villa and flopped, because we have Chukwuemeka, then why sign him in the first place? Dele Ali is on over 100k per week, and would cost at least 40 million. Levy will wring out as much money as he can get. Not keen. If the deal was cheap and we got a hungry Dele Ali and played him as one of two 8's with Mcginn that would be quite tasty however.

Wow you're optimistic!

Tribute to Gazza Euro 96. Funny how everyone was comparing Jack to Gazza, and then Foden copy's Gazza's most memorable hairdo. I really feel like Jack is being frozen out. Like not just the manager, but the players are trying to 'put him in his place'. In fact it may becoming from the players than the manager. Shaw 100% doesn't pass to Jack unless he has to. Same with Kane and Rice.

This

If Denmark equalise I will laugh my head off!

I'm done with England. The Cu**ing players don't pass to Jack and the **** manager disrespects him. F*** England.

Both defenders made contact with Sterling but not the ball, so while it is a bit soft, that's a pen in the modern game.

Too much Sterling hate on this thread!

Yesss

It was a pen for me.

Jack wants to go in the middle but Foden won't move.

Wow Pickford made a catch, was sure he was going to punch

Bruno Fernandes!

Should be Mount coming off

Jack with Saka and Sancho on the wings. Put Mount as one of the 2. All he really does is defend anyway

Jack time surely!

It's all about the CountryLife

Sterling is a good player. Jack's ability is ridiculous, don't judge Sterling by Jack's standards!

I was just about to comment that Mount is not a number 10, and more of an 8, and that England need a proper 10 like Jack, when Denmark scored.

Should have been saved. Emi would save that.

Pickford is having a poor game. Jack would be controlling this game if he was on the pitch.
