Live thread - is it coming home?! ???????⚽️

Cant sleep yet Pittcity going to walk around the garden for a bit!!

So proud of them ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Awww leave Gareth aloneNotAGran55

Its going Rome ?

They are so very young. It's too much responsibility, and too much disappointment for them to take in front of millions of people. My heart goes out to them.

On the pitch for 2 minutes and expected to perform under such pressure. Why not Grealish , Sterling , Shaw ahead of them .

Feel sad for the lads. Think penalties are torture. I hope there isn’t a load of fighting out on the streets.

I love him to bits Nams but it was a very poor decision IMO .

So sad! Well fought England! Poor lad.

I feel so sorry for the penalty takers. One if them was sobbing. Please do not call Gareths decision idiotic, he is the England Manager he had his reasons for choosing them, it just did not come off this time.
I have nothing but pride in the way they played.

Harsh notagran results of decisions can never been seen before they are made
Gareth has done a brilliant job and so have the lads
Well done England ???

Mmmn. Obviously not.

I'm not knowledgeable enough NotAGran55 so you might be right

Yes BlueBell a round of applause for the team!

Yes. And the young ones will get chances in future.

It was great to have a team who supported diversity and equality so openly. Lots of fans from all ethnicities wearing England shirts - that hasn’t happened before. It’s a better performance than any England team of recent years. Good on them. Gareth Southgate should get a knighthood.

Yes, just what we all thought here.
A good match though overall, Italy are a really good team and we held them to 1-1 for so very long.Penalties are often hit and miss, but the feeling is here that Southgate made a big mistake
With the two subs taking them ‘cold’ as it were.
Good on the England team though for a great effort.
World cup next stop.

I wish wd could allow a draw, personally.
Doesn't everyone hate penalties?

They did us proud didn't they.

I ate too many sausage rolls

Gareth Southgate is a complete gentleman
They are a very young team and it's the World Cup next year, so....
Well done England for giving us hope in such difficult times, it meant a lot to so many

They did us proud didn't they.

Yes I think they did. I'm so proud of them all. Its just a devastating way to lose a game. They are a young team. World cup next year. Onwards and upwards!

We were just practising for the World Cup
