    Italy look AB-esque. Reckon they will go far in this tournament.

    So, smashed in a semi with their heads in the clouds.

    Italy do very well when they are more Bok-esque.

    I’ll dedicate my prediction to rapido. Can’t beat 10 man soccer (with a goalie for good measure), big forwards and a 10 who prefers kicking than running with the ball.

    Classic England:

    • home advantage
    • score after 2 minutes
    • do barely enough for the next 118 minutes
    • get an early advantage in the shoot-out
    • showboat like a clown
    • miss three out of five penalties

    Hopefully no rioting in London tonight...

    Man, have these guys even practiced taking penalties?

    It's a England hoodoo and a bit like NZ at the RWC for 27 years.

    Rashford? He had an open goal and missed.

    The other missed penalties were down to good 'keeping

    I feel sorry for Southgate. He must hate penalty shootouts.

    I think he should have subbed Kane who had no influence whatsoever over 120 minutes

    Italia 1990. Was on a train from Bonn to Zurich listening to England /Germany on BBC World Service. German colleagues were incredibly gracious to my English workmates and got them well-pissed the following night.

    You would think being paid millions to kick a ball that you could confidently hit the top corner 99% of the time, yet they usually go for the easier option.

    Feel bad for the players who missed however regardless.

    I don't get the dislike for penalties. It's excellent drama.
