[Liam]

Gutted.

We'll take it, and build. Better than I thought we would do......so take the positives to some extent.

Having dipped in 2008 and 2010, we're back to the standard of classic England.

Spain vs. Germany make the final, unless CR7 feels like having a MOTM performance.

We just wait with baited breath for the Pizza Hut commercial.

Jeebus Italy deserve this match.

My only.......only..........ONLY thing would be that they didn't have a zillion and one clear cut chances, considering the possession they had. If you can't stick it in the back of the net, you don't necessarily deserve the game in my eyes.

Eh, I'm not in complete disagreement. However, nailing the post is simply a matter of 'on this day it hits the post, the next it goes in' type of stuff. How many did they hit today ?

I mean really though, England is freaking cursed in PK's. Wow.

[Benjamin]

Only time I've seen Italy play the whole championship, Pirlo has definitely become my favorite player.

[GA!]

For letting Ashley Young near a football willingly, England deserved to lose.

[Cymbols]

The benefit of being from a nation that is crap at football, no heartbreak.

In other news, Italy deserved that.

[Hobo]

Italy won't win the tournament but they sure deserved to win this match.

A sad inevitably. Don't care how well drilled you are, how much 'heart' or 'passion' you've got, if you can't keep the ball you'll get nowhere. The fact that Hodgson sets him teams up to cede possession only exacerbates a huge problem in this country, which is that left to their own devices English players lack the brains to keep the ball.

[LexChaney]

For fuck sake England.

Seriously, if a group of players who are payed £80,000+ a week can't keep control of the ball without the witterings of a manager, then the manager is fucked irrelevant as far as I am concerned.

lol @ England you loozas
