Euro 2020(1)

[Bobfoc]

Hearing that Luke Shaw only turns 26 tomorrow surprises me. He seems to have been around for ages.

[Szumi]

I'd love to see the massive scowl on Mourinho's face at having to watch Luke Shaw score that goal. For an overweight fattie, he sure got up the field really fast while still having the stamina to bang that volley in at the near post.

[Lineker]

I don't think I've cheered an England goal that much since the Beckham free kick against Greece.

[Bobfoc]

When I think of Luke Shaw, I think of the time he broke his leg. Scoring in the Euro final three years later is great for him.

[Lineker]

Jorginho not looking good here.

[Gazz]

Someone needs to find the post I made a couple of years ago where I said he was 'finished' as a Premier League player.

Shaw broke his leg in 2015...

It was a while longer than that, but still, when you look at Shaw being at rock bottom confidence wise under Mourinho, he didn't look like getting in an England squad again, let alone this. 

He's got his moment now but if it turns out to be the winning goal, he'll be remembered forever.

Time is a strange thing.

In your defense the last couple years don't count.

I said at work, England would score early and dominate the match once they got a flow on. OR Italy would frustrate and torture them all game, stupid fouls, shitbaggery to the max and win 3-0 with all the goals coming late.

So I'm intrigued to see England score mega early. What a goal by the way, the aerial camera was wonderful!

[Baddar]

The early goal stunned Italy. They've been ordinary so far. It's like they saw the England back 5 and planned for a long night of both teams being cautious.

[Gorka]

An Italian side struggling against five at the back? My, my, how the tables have turned. 

[Bobfoc]

That was close.

[FLiam]

This is going to be one hell of a slog to watch.

Ay it's certainly been a bit on the dull side like. 

Italy just look very plain so far. Chiesa has been the only player to have threatened. It's very sidewards from Italy and England have covered the space well. It's gonna take something special I think for Italy to get back into this.

Or a clanger from England.

After spending the day breaking in to the stadium you'd expect a bit more life in the crowd but I guess the game has sucked what little life there was in them out of the place! Comfortable first half after that quick goal.

[Szumi]

Hopefully the second half is better for the neutrals. An early goal in a match between two best cautious, defensive sides was always going to create this slog. England have every reason to play negative football right now, and I don't blame them for it. But fuck me this match is boring.

[Lineker]

The team is the best of England; a lot of the "fans" are the dirt worst.
