Southgate had more control on the game before changing formation ,they were just supposed to improve on the speed of switching the ball just like what Germany did to Portugal,,, Italy was pressing compactly and with high pressure on the touchline hence reducing their team with.... Advantage of switching the ball is that it opens gaps and can cause break of formation structure as the opponent changes side of press. Southgate just panicked to conceding a goal which was a set piece not knowing nothing was wrong with his formation, he was supposed to motivate players to put more effort 9n the same game plan , perhaps he might not have got to penalties
England scored first which was great, after that they just sat back and invited Italy on to them they basically had players passing the ball outside England penalty area. Southgate was not sure to either stick or go for it. Yes England have very good skilful players but you have to play more then two to retain the ball which was their big problem. Pickford did not take any risks but just gave the ball back to Italy.
U forgot to talk about when how the game changed when mancicni took out immobile and puts in berradi so imagine can play false 9. Thats why Italy created goal scoring opportunities which lead to the 4-3-3 switch from South Gate so hendo and mount could apply pressure to verrati and Jorginho
i dont think italy dominated england, how do you get 5 yellow cards and assault players without it resulting in red? blind ref thats how! i mean one of the italian players forgot he was playing football and thought he was auditioning for wwe and closelined harry kane right infront of the ref, ref was like oh look harry on the floor but he didnt have the ball so it didnt happen... then grabbing saka like that. stamping on grealich yeah they dominated us so much that england were afraid to get the ball incase they got there legs broke. stupid title of a youtube video. winner goes to this one.
Verratti literally dominated the mid field. He was press resistant despite England pressing and overloading the midfield, verratti showed his creativity in tough situations.
His turns protecting the ball always remind me of Iniesta, I guess that's why Barcelona tried to get him in the past. His major weakness is his tendency to get more yellow cards than he should, tends to miss important games due to this (usually it isn't because of bad challenges, he is just too amped up perhaps).
@Chocolate Starfish - how about this one: Unused _"It's Coming Home"_ trophy display cabinet. In immaculate condition, bought in 2016. All reasonable offers considered. Contact Gareth Southgate.
as an Englishman present at the game; full credit to Italy and they defo deserve this. They dominated us for the full game and their fans kept the spirits high.
@@jillscott5089 I'm happy :) our players deserved to know we were all supporting them until the last minute. If we could have been there cheering for Italy it would have been magical
I was having more fun when Italy was losing. They play with high defense but slow steady pressure. Most teams get desperate when they're losing on a final, not them. Reminded me of the 2006 squad.
Yes. Between the 30' and the 70' we were losing, but the feeling was that with every passing minute, the chance to score a goal was increasing and increasing. In the last minutes before we scored, I was almost sure it would come soon.
I think England missed a huge opportunity against Italy. Sure it has this apparently new offensive strategy (it isn't, Mancini just managed to make it work), but with its problem, such as draining energies (this very young team could handle it, and the calendar helped too), and making the team vulnerable of counterattacks. The brilliant part was trying always to defend and press in the opponent midfield. So counter attacks could be stopped early and even lead to goals, even shooting from out of the panalty area. Now England knew all that, and with it's amazing players (that I think in a 1vs1 are on avarge better than Italy's players), didn't do enough. England should have just done the same thing Italy was doing. Keep the ball (not that 70/30 ratio that is bound to lead to goal), get slowly further, and do counter attacks with ball on the ground, few short one-touch passes. That's how you can score against Italy. And they did it. Once. The other times they were just not up to the tactical task. They got kind of close to scoring again, but Mancini's strategy eventually caught up. With humility, Galles, Austria, Belgium and Spain all tried to adapt their game to stop Italy, and they did it better than England. They never had the luxury of scoring first, showing this way how dangerous are counterattacks against Italy's strategy. But instead Englad threw so many balls away, and didn't counter Italy's defense mechanism to stop counterattacks. And since luck didn't help England the few times it tried, England never scored again. You don't play around with Italy on a final.You don't win 1-0. Spain knew it in 2012. England got lucky once it scored so early, but It didn't prove they could do it again. Not like that. Instead they reinforced the defense, and let Italy play. A stronger opponent would have scored within the first half, even after 20-30 mins. Than with an early tie, a new match begins. I'm sorry for England though. Not the dumb supporters, but the team's history itself. England hate panalties just as much as Italy, which only after 2000 started bringing some luck. Before it was a nightmare, (and it still is). Nobody will say, but many in Italy don't really know how to feel about winning the cup tanks to the penalties. Every time it seems they have the right team to win...something happens. Close, but not really. Sometimes penalties, sometimes huge strong opponents. It must suck. I think it's time England wins something. All nations with major teams have had their glory...France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy...they all eventually managed to put up a team and a strategy to win the cup. England not yet, that's all.
Mancini’s master piece: with passing masters like Jorginho & Varreti, Italy was able to stretch the width of the pitch after conceded early goal, pushing the wingers higher up, forcing England wing backs to retreat as well as having defensive line stayed deep, limiting England’s strength on pace
@@stardust52005 I am just gonna assume you did not see the Copa America final between Argentina and Brazil, played the day before Italy/England? Because it was MUCH scrappier.
70% ball possession for Italy says it all, Chiesa was gorgeous to watch, was surprised Grealish didn't start over Mount and Sancho didn't come on earlier( after they conceded), Penalties are unpredictable even Jorginho missed one and he's one of the best in the world.
Naa possession doesn't say it all England had many chances like Italy. England also was better in extra time imo. If they dominated the game it woudnt be 1-1 and penalty's. I do think Italy deserved to win though they was the best team this tournament
@@hellothere4599 Italy more defencive in Extra time but for 90 minutes Italy dominate and they even had more on shot target than England especially when Chiesa take a ball
@@Guiscardo777 Well, their play improved when Italy made a number of subs, and England went to 4 in the back. But Donnarumma was still cutting out practically all their crosses. And the low crosses... Chiellini seems to have had those covered.
can we just appreciate what a joy is chiesa to see? he is fast, he is quick-thinking, he is able in dribbling and he is able to score in any given situation. whenever he got the ball, he literally skipped any opponent and managed to go far. I'm so glad that we had him in the squad at euro 2020, and that he plays in my favorite team (juventus)
@@colinarcher2817 Don't worry, you soon will. Italian wonderkid, plays for Roma, had two ACL injuries over the last couple years which have seen him sidelined for too long but he's back training with his club again now.
So, Italy had a far better possession and much more chances to score goals, and England played half of the match in a really hard defensive position, with Kane that was playing like a defensive midfielder. Italy was considered an ultra-defensive nation, how funny. I can't remember a more defensive attitude in a final than the one of England in this Euro. Also, English supporters are claiming that Italy played dirty, because of 2 fouls that occurred during the play, both punished with 2 yeallow cards and are blaming Italian players for diving. However, there were much diving by Kane and Sterling and many harsh fouls made by English players. England went through the final thx to a fake penalty given due to a dive. Also, England got only one yellow card in the final, during extra times, despite the fact that there were many other occasions to get a yellow card. Also, Italy never got a fake penalty during the road to the final, instead, it was the victim of a fake penalty given to Belgium. Not even mentioning the fact that England played 6 matches out of 7 in England, without travelling through Europe and with its own supporters. What this Euro taught us in the end?
i agree with analysis but i don't think the matches were fixed, it's enfuriating but sometimes referees make mistakes (i remember the lukaku dive and i was 'meh'). the only lesson here is: it's coming rome ;)
It hopefully taught UEFA to get rid off soft penalties. Despite using VAR it's just ridicilaous they don't wanna interrupt and change the desicision when a really soft penalty had been given. On the good note, I have to give credit to Björn Kuipers. Great final by him!
I think the smartest thing mancini did was taking off immobile he wasn’t really offering much. He cant hold up the ball well he was taking alot of poor touches. he’s a good finisher and has decent pace but when a team is sitting back like England is he has to be able to contribute to the game in other ways because he cant make those clever runs in behind because there sitting so deep. If you look at some of the best strikers in the world lewandoswki, kane, lukaku, benzema they can all hold the ball up well so once he took him off and played insigne as a false 9 he was able to come deeper and receive the ball and link up the play better and that’s when italy started looking more of a threat so immobile has to improve that part of his game
he really run and have the balls to try something different ... he was the only one that keep italy afloat in the first half... he even cover in defense. when it got injured i feared that italy creativity die out
Bonucci had to defend , and his passing was on point which directly led to italy attacking because england were pressing g higher bonucci scored and also the penalty
And I hope we finally retire the “it’s coming home” malarkey. The rest of the world doesn’t care about our triumph and loss psychodramas as encapsulated in the song, even if they get the joke because it’s too England specific and much too inward looking. “World in motion” is better IMO
@@youtalkin2me595 Absolutely agree. World in motion is a great tune and just a good song. Despite it being a classic, this tournament made me realise that ‘Three Lions’ should be buried in the past along with the ‘we always lose’ mentality that goes with it
Man, I wish all fans where like you! Thanks for being honest and not insulting Italy. I apologise in the name of the italian fans that constatly insults the english supporters.
@@eduardirde7272 I not apologising for nothing, I think England team did well, best finishing position for years, got beaten by a better team. Maybe Italy can use the same gusto with their economy now, and drive it out of their 30 year slump lol.
@@chunkymonkey55555 ... to improve the Italian economy they need to do an ITALEXIT... it'll be hard at the beginning, but they'll not be anymore under Germany's thumb (like all other EU nations). Congrats to the UK for having the "cojones" of getting out of it!!!
I was honestly pleased seeing Italy's off-the-ball movements. They were shaking England's defensive structure by fluid movement to find spaces. I hoped Germany have more willingness to move like this when they faced England. But alas, they were happy to sit still and see England canceled out their system.
People forget but Berardi was REAL close to scoring two goal of the tournament contenders. One was called offside and the one in the final was JUST off target.
@@roejogan2585 it was tho cause when England were actaully going on the attack they seemed like they were controlling the game in my opinion, thanks to Southgate parking the bus it gave italy too much time on the ball which made it obvious they were gonna equalize. Still a Good game tho
England played better than Italy in extra time and the first half. Italy dominated the second half. Was a very close game 2 great sides. Shame it went to penalty's
I hope you cooked it like we do. Whenever I come to England I carefully avoid eating Italian food because they don't know how to do it. I rather eat fish and chips. I admire England but the food is abominable
England had a lot of advantages throughout the entire tournament and still didn’t win. They only had to travel once, they had a massively favourable draw and they played dirty in the semis. The arrogant pundits (Rio Ferdinand takes the mick) and the disgraceful behaviour by some of the fans perfectly sums up why nobody wants them to succeed. Commiserations to Southgate and the players though. I do feel bad for them but this is a reality check for the media and the fans.
England in this tournament, believed, almost supernaturally, that their victory was a destiny already written, a litany inflated by Johnson in order to claim the cup and raise the consensus. Paradoxically, England ended up resembling Argentina. Getting to the final convinced all the English that it was already done. After scoring the goal they simply believed that Italy would never be able to equalize the score. Because the God of football had decided so. In some ways that second-minute goal killed them. The tactic only counts in part, it simply lacked the grit and motivation that leads to victory.
FOOTBALL WILL COME HOME FOR ENGLAND, IF THEY CAN PERFORM ON PITCH AND TALK AS IF THEY HAVE WON IT BEFORE THE GAME HAS STARTED, AS THEY DO IN EVERY TOURNAMENT THEY ARE IN. THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE PLAYERS BUT BOTTLE IT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH. THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR NERVE WHEN TAKING PENALTIES, AS THEIR RECORD IN TOURNAMENTS IS VERY POOR.
No. Maybe Boris thought that but he's a clown and knows nothing about anything (except maybe adultery). We aren't that superstitious, and Football's coming home is totally misunderstood. It's black humour, because we all know it never does. Some people got carried away but most sensible people thought Italy were favourites. But playing in a final we had hope. Your game analysis is wrong tho. England wanted a second but we had to keep the pitch wide and the pace high when we had the ball. At the same point we had to watch we didn't leave gaps. Italy were the technical side, but we have athletic young lads who are good at one vs one situations. you were going to have a lot of the ball, but we've shown against Spain in the Nations league that our best chance is to be compact when we don't have the ball, play out fast and keep the pitch wide then there are gaps for Sterling et al to attack. I thought the first half was pretty good from us. But we got tired chasing the ball. If we got the second goal .. but we didn't because your defence was extremely watertight. We made promising situations but your centre halves were outstanding. I was optimistic at half time but i didn't realise how knackered our players were. Southgate should have rationed out his subs instead of saving them till late. Tired players start losing their concentration. We made mistakes that eventually resulted in a goal. Our substitutes came too late and although we rallied our best chance had gone. Ironically, you almost gave us a way back when Grealish was fouled that could easily have been a red. And saka would have had a clear run at goal but for a cynical foul from Chiellini (who i think did it believing he would get sent off, but was making the sacrifice for the team). I was angry about that at the time because even a red card wouldn't have made up for a precious chance on goal. But you had a succession of half-chances, and that man Chiesa was very dangerous. We've never produced a really outstanding technical midfielder, that's our major failing. A few years back we had someone promising (Wilshere, with Arsenal) but he got injured so often and never fully developed. With just one guy like that, it would make our lives so much easier. That's the Premier League for you. We import those guys and our young players develop into different kind of players. If England had a Verrati we would not have to work so damn hard, because we would keep the ball better. I enjoyed the game even though we lost. Except the penalties because i knew what was going to happen then. because it always does. I thought it was an interesting clash of styles and temperaments. Youth against experience too. I don't think we really understand each others' culture (not the yobs, they are just scum - canaille?) but things like our dark humour and your superstitions - something always seems to get lost in translation. I think most people here would be puzzled that our silly song got you so fired up. We aren't Americans, we humble-brag and we turn our pain at failure into a boast. We live on a soggy wet island where it's cold and rains all the time. Don't expect to understand us unless you've suffered our weather, our public transport and our cooking.
@@meandermyself61 Well, all very well said. But... this wasn't 100% my feeling at Wembley on Sunday. I am Italian, I've lived in the UK for over 20 years now. I "suffered" your weather, your food and your public transport (I actually "enjoy" most of it). And I can make a long list of things I love and admire of England. And I understand the long years of hurt and all of that... I was more than happy to support England on Sunday, had they won and I went to the stadium fully expecting to have a great time regardless of the result. Alas... how naive was I! The atmosphere at Wembley, and outside Wembley in particular, was almost messianic in nature... and it had nasty sentiments of anger, arrogance, and superiority about it. Yes, some people (including the two lads who came with me to the match) fully feared that it would go bad, as it usually does. That Italy had the better team and the better game. That penalty would be fatal. But for a good part of that stadium, the feeling was "this is ours and we deserve it". And many people chanted "it's coming home" in the sense of "how dare you ever think we aren't better than anyone else"... there was little in the way of humility and respect for the adversary, I am afraid. By half-time I really wanted Italy to equalize and stuff you lot. As you say, with a better mid-field one day you might come to win a major tournament. But in the meantime, it would do everyone some good to change the narrative, and instead of talking about "55 years of pain and counting" and blaming penalties, bad fortune, dirty adversaries, (the hand of) God and whatever else, take a good hard look in the mirror. The media in particular, I've now watched the BBC coverage of the match and I get what the Scots are on about... Mancini said it well in his pre-match speech: "I have nothing [more] to say [to you], you know what you are [what you are worth]. We are not here by accident. We are the masters of our destiny, not the referee, not the opponents, not anyone. You know what you have to do." Just do it, and shut up about it. In the meantime, back to cricket... ;)
England has a very good squad, but they didn't even really try to win yesterday. After Shaw scored they could have killed Azzurri but gave up almost without fighting! You can't shadow catenaccio without being a serious expert of that dangerous game... It's Italian stuff. Anyway, the lesson Is served: superstars don't make a winning team. Forza Azzurri 💪🏼🥳
As an England fan (no toxic hate pls thanks) what's most painful is that this loss is almost a carbon copy of the loss vs Croatia in 2018. They were both played on 7/11 too ironically. Great start, but WAY TOO NEGATIVE afterwards, only relying on long balls and set pieces. Eventually the better midfield starts to dominate and get the equalizer. Southgate made good adjustments vs Germany, but it looks like he still hasn't fully learned from 2018. 1. This team has good enough attackers not to need to park the bus and solely play on the counter. Ok the MF is not very strong but there are attackers who can pick up the ball and progress it. 2. If you're gonna play on the counter maybe play a forward with pace and tell Kane to do his CAM role at Spurs. Instead of long balls to Kane with no one running in behind! 3. USE THE SUBS. Italy were the much better side for at least 35 mins before 1-1, and Southgate should've brought on Saka and Hendo earlier to disrupt that. We looked even with Italy in ET once Grealish came on and him/Sterling were driving at Italy.
As a brazilian the lost to Argentina was more so dissapointing to me than upsetting. Like we had full control of the game and Argentina scored because of a defenders error where Lodi decided to go cover Thiago Silva's space which left Di Maria open for a lob pass.
I agree so much my friend. It’s not ideal but it’s okay to play counter football. But for counter football to work you need minimal spaces between players and forwards running in behind as a minimum. Southgates tactics are so perverted it’s almost like our players come short to the ball as a counter attacking team, madness. And may I add Grealish is a phenomenal ten in transition, similar to KDB when both run through midfield lines and often pick the correct pass with correct weight.
i think that the late sub is the biggest sin. italy showns that it suffer from fast forward playing. A fast forward combine with tired opponent can be lethal combination. this is was evident when italy late sub-in Chiesa in some early match. his energy and speed was devastating.
@@grimmmaster7189 no it isn’t but he was given the freedom to drive forward, thereby creating those opportunities. So no, it isn’t his role, but he put himself in a position to do it, and it was open because of the gameplan. So be a player and get the job done.
Quite reductive for a country among the most industrialized in the world, member of G8 since the beginning and with some people like Galileo Galilei and Leonardo da Vinci.. 😂😂
Most of the time, England was playing at home and didn't get a serious punishment for lasering Schmeichel and the entire stadium whistled other countries' anthems and actions. Needless to say, they deserved losing and got a huge unfair advantage. Uefa was definitely somewhat rigged for them and Italy had saved football in my opinion.
Italians contributed to the progress of English football. England football was built by Italian. Zola, di Canio, Vialli, Ravanelli, di Biagio, etc... So it's true that football is coming home........... to Rome
The funniest thing is that Italian managers (Ancelotti, Mancini, Ranieri, Conte) have won more Premier League titles than their English counterparts (a fat zero!).
Italy deserved. They have been far ways the best one. England was just lucky and their behavior was unrespectful in many occasions. Italian game was highly perfect in the strategy
Yes, yes, remarkable video indeed.. as always.. But all I can utterly postulate, as my analysis (me, an italian intellectual) is: POOO-POROPPOPPPO-POOO-POOO!!!! 🤣🇮🇹🍕🍺
I have absolutely 0 idea why Southgate didn't start or sub-in grealish/sancho quicker. Instead, he opted to sub-out two more experienced player in favor of youngsters in crucial penalty shootout and, well, it failed spectacularly.
They focused on ball possession. Even though a goal behind early in the match, they patiently pressing forward and knew they would eventually score the equaliser and win it. Great football.
england need to be consistent in ball retention and proactive(gareth especially) to be able to see out a game. We should've won that final and reached the world cup final in 2018.
Hopefully people will FINALLY get off Jorginho's back now. Man had an exceptional tournament, and a season too given he's now a double European champion. So glad he's at Chelsea.
Should have been red carded that yellow card came after 4 or 5 fouls shud have been on a yellow anyways then I’ve seen them given as a a straight red this season
@@bmabs35 his foot was raised n went over the ball full studs on grealish leg with excessive force. Those have been given as red cards this season n is dangerous play even then it’s a yellow definitely n he shud have been on a yellow already smh
Bonucci and Chellini both will get retired after this euro. I don't think they will win the world cup but can't say anything. And IDC who wins the world cup I will just pray that toxic England doesn't win
Errrmm they won the euros by two penalties let’s remember that. They deserve it but with chiellini n bonucci age I don’t think they get close with the World Cup lol not hating just u need to understand the defence won’t be good next year n this year they didn’t dominate teams they tactically were strong n won on pens
Chiellini was always injured the last two years, his euro 2020 was outstanding but I highly doubt he will be there for the next world cup. Bonucci, on the other hand, will be there for sure. Donnarumma - Bonucci - Chiellini have been a nightmare trio for every team this europe cup, brilliant playing
Cmon guys, it would have been worse if we had won by playing badly, Mancini's game was underestimated from the very beginning of the tournament! This is just a game at the end of it all. Big love from Italy to all England!
alfio aldani your whataboutism is useless, however just to mention one fact, the freedom of movement was blocked by the Brits not by the Europeans. And these thugs are brexiteers scum
Similar mistakes southgate did again, scored an easy goal then sit back to defend for long periods of time. 18 World Cup semi final Croatia scored the winning goal at England’s right side , Italy 2nd half mainly focused on attacking the spaces between trippier and walker , why southgate didn’t react and made change ? take trippier off and put Reece James on . If Henderson is coming on , should be replace mount , keep 3 midfielders one of them to help out the right side to stop chiesa and insigne’s combinations
If England had stuck to the 4-2-3-1 I believe they’d have made it harder for Italy to break them down. Your preview was the right way for England to have gone about this match. Thank you for your analysis FMS
Really😂😂 After getting a goal within 2minutes . Alright let's bring the bus 🤣🤣 They were too afraid and think they are above all. For me Spain will always be the strongest though
@@pato2200 Most England players played in an attacking team in club level with great possession. He's doesn't have any idea in keeping possession . That's all
@@danlysonsohtun6456 actually they play in club sides with terrific foreign midfielders like jorginho de bruyne fermandinho wijnaldum rodri fernandes. England do not have a midfield who can control a match. Phillips and Reid are destructive players and an extension of the defence. Verrati and jorginho barella controlled midfield. None of the England trio of Reid Philips or mount could get in the Italian midfield or that of Belgium France Spain or Portugal.
I think England Needs An Attacking Coach Who Can Utlises This Much Talent..They Are Wasting These Talents Just Like Belgium By Not Appointing A Good Manager..
wrong, belgium 2016 and 2018 play attacking with same coach, but the experience playing against defensive france in semifinal make roberto martinez change tactucs
I must admit,Italy deserved to win.Southgate go the wing to wing advantage when he started with a back five.But then he went total defensive with basically no subs and in the end we made subs for penalties only🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Southgate was too slow to adapt to a new tactical situation after Mancini had made the changes. I wonder if some of the players on the bench were not actually fit. Rashford for instance only in a minute before penalties. He must have had an injury all this time, and was still chosen to the team.
@@pahakuutti we still have other talented players like Sancho Foden Grealish but it’s a final n we should have done something different dropping so deep is not right n plays right into the Italians hands smhhh
I thought England were in control in the first half, and despite having less of the ball, were still causing italy problems on the counter up to half time, which I think was the plan. However, they failed to adapt to italy's substitutions, and dropped deeper and deeper
England played negatively. Just look at Southgate pulling substitutes the very last minute just for the penalties, and how all of those substitutes missed their penalty. Southgate fucked up majorly
@@ryanfinnerty6239 England control first half bro. Italy can't even pass in. But the mentality side of England suddenly goes strange. They play too safety and defensive instead of taking chance for 2nd goal. England first 30 min counter was class. The biggest master class from Mancini is able to lock Harry Kane down who cause them quite problems at first half Italy deserve the win, especially mentality side. They are true warrior
It was so painful to watch England playing defensively after just 1 goal despite the past few games showing how good Italy is in coming back into the game. Don't want to undermine his massive achievement but Southgate is at fault here, for settling for a defensive tactic and wrong subs.
The early lead turned out to be a double edged sword as they closed up and tried to defend thier lead instead of tapping on thier hopeful youths to play more open football
That was probably the biggest tactic mismanagement imo. England was literally dominating and not allowing Italy to even go forward, and they decided to sit back and allow Italy to gain momentum, which ended up allowing Italy to get the equalizer. Another was the subs. Henderson for rice? Fine. Initially I thought southgate was already thinking about penalties, and henderson is an experienced penalty taker. But then he gets subbed off?For sancho?, an inexperienced penalty taker. Rashford imo isnt a good penalty taker too, he has missed quite a few for man United. And saka. No idea why he was the 5th taker, the most important role in penalties. Was southgate taking a risk? Because I’m sure if saka scored the winning goal he’ll by hyped as the New England golden boy. Why not grealish? Why not stones? Then again I’m not a manager, so I’m pretty sure southgate has his reasons, it’s just unfortunate that it backfired badly.
@@UnluckMiner oh come on "dominating" is far fetched. 66% possession for italy by the end of the game. England paid the price to park the bus. It is what it is.
When manchini changed verati I told whats he doing? Verati was heart of Italy but when match finished I told myself manchini is a genius and why he is there and I am sitting on my sofa,by the way this analys was so good,thank you.
Not only was he the greatest central defender of the 2010s.He's also highly intelligent. Thinking about his career after football & doing courses that got him a degree. Him & Bonucci where immense at Euro 2020, as a rock solid central defensive pairing & rode with Italy, as worthy winners of Euro 2020.
Thought Southgate playing with 7 defensive minded players, was reason why we didn’t win, Italian midfield Have great technical high pressure resistant players, that break lines, but best way to counter that is speed and running at them as not so good on the back foot, scoring early changed our mindset to being more negative and sitting far to deep inviting pressure, maybe if he played grealish and sancho would of played more on the front foot
His original plan actually worked very well. In the first half Italy was suppressed so well they were helpless. Then Southgate switched to 4 defenders, Italy was able to play their game, equalized, and the restis history
@@HyperScorpio8688 thought worked for 15 mins, then could see Italians working England out, and then we sat back inviting pressure, yes we defended fantastic all tournament and only conceded 2 goals from set pieces aswell not open play, we where compact, worked hard, pressed well at times, but could see Italy scoring once we sat back, yes starting grealish sancho we would of been more open, but would of created more opportunity’s and pinned them back and not allowed there midfielders to pass through us like Croatia did in World Cup
@@davidharper7591 Maybe but that style of open attacking football would've opened England up for counter attacks - something Italy is good at exploiting. Attacking play can be a double edged sword.
@@gaiasgift yes true, but if you attack them, you at the same time are defending, and players behind need to squeeze up, Italian defence camped out in our defensive third, for most of the 2nd half, players like foden, mount, grealish can keep the ball better, interchange positions more movement and fluidity in the attack, Kane would be in the box more as wouldn’t need to be the playmaker
@@gaiasgift that's true, opening yourself to what was our go to play could've been bad but capitalizing on the defensive error that lead to the first goal and trying to catch the momentum would've been better than giving time to organize, after 15 minutes Italy was fully capable of adapting and analyzing the situation, it just needed time to wait for an opportunity or an error, and they had a lot of time It was just a matter of which team got the momentum for this win and England never even tried to keep it when the opportunity presented, that was the biggest mistake Then subbing offensive players late and making them take the pens, young players too Lots of errors by Southgate basically
First thanks to Italy and England for the battle between the two strongest Teams in this Euro 2020. England was physical so strong, and let Italy suffer a lot, the whole Formation of Italy, between Attacks, Midfield and Defense was well disturbed by England, but than England coaching staff Makes a big Mistake, have change into space defending, this works only 20 to 25 minutes, Italy now have the space to created there game, but is still good disturbed by England now 85%. but this is what the Italians needed. They are Tactical Masters in the second Half. The goal of italy was really well defended from England (at first) and Pickfords first save/ reaction World class, but Bonucci read the situation fast enough and leveled the score. But than you can saw, how Italy use Englands own medicine of the first half and the adaptation of Englands coaching not brave enough (or maybe the tactical Tank was empty) England was physical the better Team, but tactical outsmart a few percent. The World Cup, if this happen in Qatar, England needs to developing the last few percents of winning will. We maybe saw the coming World Champion 2022 England. Young , talented but mentally needs get into next step. But again i see in this England Squad a potential to reign over six to eight years all Competitions, but the coaching staff needs to developing instantly, the other teams coming up. Italy was with this Team on the Peak, to find again such Defenders like Bonucci / Chiellini. I think R. Mancini knows it. The Transition of his new playing style for Italy is maybe the key. Englands pressing was in the second half starting slow down, it was the quality of the Italian team this tactical move the whole team starts i called "attacking pressing" is a Variation of Pressing Resistance (many small details) . In that situation England have recordinated the running ways of the Attacks and let the midfielders move more. Look at Spain, they really destroyed the Tactical shape of Italy, Spanish Team not use often this kind of Tactical Formations. This was a deep respect to Italy, but Mancini Survived this battle in the Semi. If R.Mancini can created the Transition in one year, Italy's new playing style will be a threat for every who have to play against them. If England adapt this kind of Attacking style, with that players on the bench. Every team have to asked how high they will loose against England. But against stronger Teams like France or Belgium, they can play a high pace on the pitch over 90 minutes, it is all about Trick plays. Like the first goal of England against Italy, was wondering what the Italians are doing, such a Disorganize Corner, but great and fast Executed from England. Harry Kane amazing . Englands team needed more supporting/ protecting him. All dangerous Key plays was coming from him.
In QATAR WC World will be Witnessing the 100% Perfect Azzuri Team with no weaknesses. Manicni Already started with New Diamonds in defense like Bastoni , Lovatto , Gabbia etc Very good in Tactically mixed with experienced defenders . In Midfield there will be addition of Elegant Midfiedlers like ..Tonali , Rovella , Fagioli with Locatelli/ Veratti /Jorghino / Sensi/Pellegrini /Pessina . In the attack ...Chiesa , Insigne , Berardi in addition of Raspadori ,Scamacca and the Gratest Nicolo Zaniolo .. Azzuri team will be a GREAT threat in upcmoing days ...
But after a big win like Euro 2020 and the short preparation year to the Worldcup is really hard for the players. For all countries. I was impressed that Italy fight all his way from the tougher side. From Austria 120 min.(underestimated them a bit)/ Belgium 90 min. /Spain 120 min + Pen./ England 120 min. + Pen.. If Italy gets stronger in Fitness and shooting skills and still hungry for more definitely one Top team. In this era of Artificial Intelligence Analysis, still find new gameplays and tactical moves. But i hope for the players, get enough Rest. Is absolutely madness that tight schedule of matches.
England had only one great team in their road to final:Germany( not that strong on this euro) if they had France or Spain on their way, they’ll miss their final. In the final itself they played as if they were guests( uninvited): they just wached italians playing!
England on greece winning in 2004 "They don't deserve It I don't really like the Greeks, boring football" England with supreme attacking talent in 2021 parking the bus after 1 goal in the second minute "ITS COMING HOME"
@@alessandromazzini7026 the English insulted our defensive tactics and then tried to hide behind 1 goal in the face of italy, I'm making fun of england
@@Spirosbotos hello from the debutant Finland, Greece 2004 was something extraordinary for football to happen. If it's any comfort, a lot of people here celebrated that win, even if Portugal was a nice team to follow as well. Greece played a great tournament that time, maximum taken out of that squad. That team was an attacking threat, not just defensive. Nobody can win a big tournament with defense alone
Great high level analysis in terms of structure of general player movement. What was the critical miss however... is the far superior technical ball handling (control, touches, passing - this is where the fluidity of the game happens) of Italy over England. England over and over again does not present this skill generationally. Their style is more like an NFL linebacker; to put their heads down and just go direct. There is limited finesse and elegance in their game as a team. Mancini referred to this at press conferences; that Italy's technical will overcome England's physical play. Ask yourself why Verratti, Barella and Jorginiho just controlled the mid field and possession as they did? Until England commits to adopt these sorts of technical skills coupled with decision making they have little opportunity of winning. The countries that clearly have this mindset in their player development are Brazil, Spain, Germany, France, Italy and Argentina. Also don't assume that the other team won't play as hard. I kept hearing about all the superstars on the England team and Italy had a bunch of 'no namers'. I didn't see any superstars for England, even playing against all the weaker teams they faced. Question: Who would you rather have on your team Cheisa or Sterling? A woman would not ask Maguire or Stones to dance...their lateral movement to control the ball is not at an elite level in tight and tense situations; yet all we heard was how much more more mobile, agile and quicker the English were. This upcoming decade still belongs to France (and Spain based on how they played Italy). England, you need to rethink playing as a team and controlling the ball with confidence and sophistication!
I think southgate knew it and he succeeded manage their defender despite those weakness. England among the team with least conceeded in the tournament. And with all explanation. Yet they still can stand up to 120 minutes. But agree. After 2 minutes, england just lost initiave to take over the game.
England had the dream start with the 2 mins goal, leaving Italy shocked & rattled. But instead of really pressing for the second goal, decided especially in the second half, to sit back & defend; hoping to win by 1-0. That for me was Gareth Southgate's big error. We have a terrible record in penalty shoot outs. Italy was odds on to score. Without a second England goal, you're leaving it to chance, and ending up like Spain.
It was closer than most think on here though, basically while playing better second half Italy only managed to level it with a goal mouth scramble and took it to pens which are always 50/50, but with England's record I just knew the Italians would take it. Overall and this is hard to say, I think Italy did deserve it though
The English played defensive football in the Italian style of 30 years ago while Italy knew both defending and attacking by winning the ball with excellent pressuing, you can see 62% from the Italians' possession and nine shots on goal for Italy. and only one for the English was that of the cold goal caused by a placing error by the Italian right back
England was so LUCKY to get that stage of Tournament ,they had a lots of easy go with east European Teams and they had 1-1 with Scotland ,,any way if Raheem Sterling didn't Dive like that they would be knocked out by Denmark ..they would never beat Spain or France or even Switzerland if they were against any of those teams ,Italy really deserved to win the CUP .
The hypocrisy of online ‘fans’ is hilarious. Some claiming they would rather not watch football, than support the country that the club team they support is from.
*Some comments about Federico Chiesa:* He plays for my team, Juventus, so I do know a little about him. In his first 10 or so matches for Italy he was given all the chances in the world. He played as hard as he could, ran his ass off, but goals were not coming. I remember one of the early matches was a Nations League match versus Portugal (incidentally this was the last loss Italy suffered before they went on their undefeated streak) and that butcher Pepe was really trying his hardest to physically bully him. Chiesa really looked his age and lack of experience against older, much more experienced players like Pepe showed (Pepe's a hack). Chiesa had a lot of work to do. I honestly believe the fact that the tournament being pushed back 1 year helped both Italy's and England's younger players get 1 more year of experience. With Italy, I specifically mean Chiesa. I don't think if the tournament was in 2020 he would have been as important. To think he started the tournament on the bench behind Berardi. As a super-sub. Clearly now, Chiesa has made the right side his for the next 5 or 6 years. He may not be graceful and elegant but he is handful. He reminds me of Arjen Robben. Great control with the ball at his feet while running, doesn't show much of the ball, keeps his legs moving, isn't afraid to shot, shots on site.
That match wasn't tactically brilliant... Even from the starting xi Brazil did more mistakes and played worse in the first half... Argentina scored exactly where Brazil was weak(Silva + Lodi) and thereafter they did defended everything Brazil thrown in the second half with the help of referee... That's it
@@lordhiguain7800 I didn't told about the entire tournament, I've mentioned here about the Final match alone... I did watched the match live and I can see that referee has been biased towards Argentina
While the hooliganism and anthem booing are entirely fair peripheral criticisms, the match is ultimately decided by what happens on the pitch. Italy on the whole outplayed us, it's that simple. Their midfield is superior, they kept us quiet for around an hour in the middle of the match and Mancini made subtle chess moves expertly after a difficult start. I can't call Bonucci's equaliser lucky, the warning signs had been there for a while. They know how to win trophies, barring '66 we don't and almost certainly never will again. The way it is.
Club sides don't seem to do so badly. Getting a bit bored with all-English Champions league finals - Le squadre del club non sembrano andare così male. Annoiarsi un po' con le finali di Champions League tutte inglesi
Enjoyed the vid. A lot of comments in England on Southgate ie Penalty takers and sitting back etc, but I agree with most of the things the mangers done. However the ONE thing I cannot get my head around was taking Rice off for Henderson, I’m glad you mentioned it at the end of the video as I completely agree that that sub changed the game for the bad for us. Heavily frustrating as Rice has been instrumental in our defensive play all tournament, I just don’t understand
idk anything about football but i feel like you can't really start playing conservative because you scored at 2 min.. you can play on the defense for 20 min, not 88 minutes leaving the opponents do whatever they want.
England stopped playing football after Shaw scored. If they carried on the way they started the match, the result could have been different. Sancho, Rashford and Grealish should have come on for Kane, Sterling and Mount. England's front 3 did nothing all game.
@@brideofchristhome.hebrews9885 Those guys need to get feeds from their mids. THAT is where England failed. It wouldn't matter who was up front. Italy did a good job of pressing the England side once they were down. Combine this with an early lead and England was not aware of the trap. Once Italy scored, ALL the pressure was on England "at home". This did not help them. I only wish the game was determined in regular time or even extra time. Then again, the PKs do add drama, don't they?
We should add some words about substitutions. Mancini did always 5/6 subs because he forged a team with two/three player for each role and all of them knew what to do. So moving out Chiesa, Insigne and Verratti was well compensate by having fresh players in the last 20 minutes (+ET)
May I ask a question? Why did England fail to keep possession ? Just like in 2012 when they played Italy. It can't be a question of individual technical capacity this time around.. or can it ? Or was there a tactical reason? It also seems to me that England's formation was static compared to Italy's
As an Englishman I thought it was a great final between 2 great teams, I knew it was going to be tough against Italy but for England to lose by one penalty after 2 hours of football tells me England are a tough team to beat and score against. 5 clean sheets and only 2 goals let in the whole tournament is not an easy thing to do. People saying that England are crap is an insult to other countries team and an insult on Italy's win. You have to be a very good team to get a win out of England and Italy are a very good team who had to battle to get back in the game and hold their nerve in the penalties.
Bravo. Good analisi. And to England supporters, as Italian: Italy lost too many finals, count and check them out and you'll agree 😁. That said Italians know how to lose by now 🤷♂️. You in UK, you don't need to master it, just be aware and respect it. The soon you do the soon you'll win. Premiership is, in my opinion, way better than Serie A. It's your task to come to term and capitalise. Today it went our way. Meaning for any one else: better your self. And football will always win. Dai cazzo!
Mount, Sterling and Kane were the reason England lost. They let Italy passed countless times forming an attack. Southgate eventually fixed this with Saka but it was too late.
When something like losing a final happens the losing team end up decimated. The coach resigns, players are changed etc. I hope that this won't happen to this England. The team is young, strong and full of will. Italy deserved to win due to the single fact that they had more stamina and could have finalised the game in extra time. But England has the opportunity to improve their "A" game and come out stronger from this defeat. Don't ditch this team. Next year we will have the World Cup: aim at that. This is from Italy, BTW. 🙂
Italy was always going to win this game. Football games are won and lost in the midfield and Italy's midfield is far > than England's - more technical, skilfull, tactical and more creative. Verratti, Barella, Jorginho, Locatelli, Pessina, Cristante. And that is without the injured Zaniolo, Pallegrini and Sensi - 3 players that would walk into any side - watch out for Italy in Qatar.
The OP claim of an easy run to the final for England is bogus: the team can only beat the teams it was matched against. Two goals conceded in the whole tournament in match time says a lot for the England defence, which Italy failed to penetrate for more than an hour. Italy's route to becoming champions lay in the hands of its goalkeeper, who played a blinder.
You really understand nothing about football man. 1 shot during the whole match. I think England has a great potential but a really poor management. Kudos to Italy and Mr. Mancini who are unbeaten for 34 consecutive matches after not being able to qualifying for world cup 2018. We played a great tournament and minimize it to a great goalkeeper as the only reason we won, yeah that's really unfair. Ciao 🇮🇹💙
I don't even remember Sterling or Kane with any shot at goal (Could be wrong), Thats how defensive Southgate played. After that shock early lead the pressure was on Italy, So England could've tried to applied pressure. Trippier had so much space first 20 min, Imagine if that was Sancho
@@cally77777 with the difference that yours was a lucky goal, and after the goal you finished playing, after the draw we continued to have control of the ball and shot on goal 6 times, England was already thinking about penalties from the minute 60, was this your tactic to win the cup? 🤣🤣 so it doesn't surprise me if you never win anything in your life
Next time England should try to play football. A back 3 behind Trippier, Phillips, Rice, Shawn, with Kane spending more time in his own half than the adversary's, Sterling attempting dive after dive, and Mount... just being there, is not how you win the finals of a tournament. But look at the bright side: Pickford was good!
Neither bonucci or chiellini where dribbled past once during the entire tournament. Saka got close but chiellinis foul preserves that stat…. It’s amazing
Also pretty key was how Italy disrupted England going forward with persistent fouls before anything could get going... 6 yellow cards were given and it could have easily been more plus a red for the stamp on Grealish. In the 2nd half England struggled to get into the game and Italy were relentless with their pressure.
Italy played better generally. ı think all the tournament immobile was mediocre in italy team. First 11 get into the pitch was true for England. Trippier made the assist Luke shaw scored the goal but in the second half Mancini subbed players on time and successfully. It made the difference for Italy team. 2 young players missed the penalty kicks for England. By the way, I am Italian Football Lover. Forza Azzurri.
@@Whoami1988_ they have better mentality than England. Spain, for example, outplayed Italy and Luis Enrique outcoached Mancini. Tonight it wasnt the case. It was a manager wasting loads of talents and having another team with a strong character playing away from home showing what this business is about.
@@titodiyei8684 The early goal shook the Italians. It would any team. You could see how frustrated they were in the first 15-20 mins, but when they started to find their feet and play their own game, they started to take the control of the game. England defensively are good. That is the reason why they could break through the defensive lines in the first half. It took a tactical change in formation in the second half to make all of the difference with Immobile going off and Berardi coming on. And when they made their substitutions in extra-time, it changed the dynamics of the team, especially with Chiesa going off and Bernardeschi replacing him.
It is fine saying England should have attacked more but to do that you need possession of the ball and England's midfield 3 simply did not have the technical ability to retain possession or play their way through tight spaces. Against Belgium twice and Croatia in the WC and here v Italy we see that England are technically not good enough at this level to control the play especially in midfield.
What did you notice about the match?
how England improved their youth system: ruclips.net/video/25gAfMFx_AQ/видео.html
England, *KARMA IS A BITCHH* 😂😂
Southgate had more control on the game before changing formation ,they were just supposed to improve on the speed of switching the ball just like what Germany did to Portugal,,, Italy was pressing compactly and with high pressure on the touchline hence reducing their team with.... Advantage of switching the ball is that it opens gaps and can cause break of formation structure as the opponent changes side of press. Southgate just panicked to conceding a goal which was a set piece not knowing nothing was wrong with his formation, he was supposed to motivate players to put more effort 9n the same game plan , perhaps he might not have got to penalties
England scored first which was great, after that they just sat back and invited Italy on to them they basically had players passing the ball outside England penalty area. Southgate was not sure to either stick or go for it. Yes England have very good skilful players but you have to play more then two to retain the ball which was their big problem. Pickford did not take any risks but just gave the ball back to Italy.
U forgot to talk about when how the game changed when mancicni took out immobile and puts in berradi so imagine can play false 9. Thats why Italy created goal scoring opportunities which lead to the 4-3-3 switch from South Gate so hendo and mount could apply pressure to verrati and Jorginho
i dont think italy dominated england, how do you get 5 yellow cards and assault players without it resulting in red? blind ref thats how! i mean one of the italian players forgot he was playing football and thought he was auditioning for wwe and closelined harry kane right infront of the ref, ref was like oh look harry on the floor but he didnt have the ball so it didnt happen... then grabbing saka like that. stamping on grealich yeah they dominated us so much that england were afraid to get the ball incase they got there legs broke.
stupid title of a youtube video. winner goes to this one.
Verratti literally dominated the mid field. He was press resistant despite England pressing and overloading the midfield, verratti showed his creativity in tough situations.
You simply can't get the ball off him, it's magical.
He was the second smallest player on the pitch, yet, he was able to head the ball on the box before Bonucci scores... SPAGHETTI MAFIAAA
@@tiagocruz1255 That header almost went in too if it wasn't for Pickford
Superb performance that compensated for barella poor performance
His turns protecting the ball always remind me of Iniesta, I guess that's why Barcelona tried to get him in the past.
His major weakness is his tendency to get more yellow cards than he should, tends to miss important games due to this (usually it isn't because of bad challenges, he is just too amped up perhaps).
Jorginho and verratti on midfield such skillfull press resistent players
Thankyou Italy 🇮🇹 Saved us from noise pollution for the next few months! FORZA ITALIA 🏆

I was having more fun when Italy was losing. They play with high defense but slow steady pressure. Most teams get desperate when they're losing on a final, not them. Reminded me of the 2006 squad.
Yes. Between the 30' and the 70' we were losing, but the feeling was that with every passing minute, the chance to score a goal was increasing and increasing. In the last minutes before we scored, I was almost sure it would come soon.
@@raffaeledivora9517 chiesa had it open just missed by 2 meters?
@@raffaeledivora9517 also mancini seems to manage better than southgate. Esp in substitutions and timing...Prob the most valuable players on azzuri...
Yes, I didn't care at all about England's goal, I just knew we would have start to play sooner...
I think England missed a huge opportunity against Italy. Sure it has this apparently new offensive strategy (it isn't, Mancini just managed to make it work), but with its problem, such as draining energies (this very young team could handle it, and the calendar helped too), and making the team vulnerable of counterattacks. The brilliant part was trying always to defend and press in the opponent midfield. So counter attacks could be stopped early and even lead to goals, even shooting from out of the panalty area.
Now England knew all that, and with it's amazing players (that I think in a 1vs1 are on avarge better than Italy's players), didn't do enough.
England should have just done the same thing Italy was doing. Keep the ball (not that 70/30 ratio that is bound to lead to goal), get slowly further, and do counter attacks with ball on the ground, few short one-touch passes. That's how you can score against Italy. And they did it. Once. The other times they were just not up to the tactical task. They got kind of close to scoring again, but Mancini's strategy eventually caught up.
With humility, Galles, Austria, Belgium and Spain all tried to adapt their game to stop Italy, and they did it better than England. They never had the luxury of scoring first, showing this way how dangerous are counterattacks against Italy's strategy.
But instead Englad threw so many balls away, and didn't counter Italy's defense mechanism to stop counterattacks. And since luck didn't help England the few times it tried, England never scored again. You don't play around with Italy on a final.You don't win 1-0. Spain knew it in 2012.
England got lucky once it scored so early, but It didn't prove they could do it again. Not like that. Instead they reinforced the defense, and let Italy play. A stronger opponent would have scored within the first half, even after 20-30 mins. Than with an early tie, a new match begins.
I'm sorry for England though. Not the dumb supporters, but the team's history itself. England hate panalties just as much as Italy, which only after 2000 started bringing some luck. Before it was a nightmare, (and it still is). Nobody will say, but many in Italy don't really know how to feel about winning the cup tanks to the penalties.
Every time it seems they have the right team to win...something happens. Close, but not really. Sometimes penalties, sometimes huge strong opponents. It must suck.
I think it's time England wins something. All nations with major teams have had their glory...France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy...they all eventually managed to put up a team and a strategy to win the cup. England not yet, that's all.
Mancini’s master piece: with passing masters like Jorginho & Varreti, Italy was able to stretch the width of the pitch after conceded early goal, pushing the wingers higher up, forcing England wing backs to retreat as well as having defensive line stayed deep, limiting England’s strength on pace
Verratti

he is fast, he is quick-thinking, he is able in dribbling and he is able to score in any given situation.

@@colinarcher2817 Don't worry, you soon will. Italian wonderkid, plays for Roma, had two ACL injuries over the last couple years which have seen him sidelined for too long but he's back training with his club again now.
So, Italy had a far better possession and much more chances to score goals, and England played half of the match in a really hard defensive position, with Kane that was playing like a defensive midfielder. Italy was considered an ultra-defensive nation, how funny. I can't remember a more defensive attitude in a final than the one of England in this Euro. Also, English supporters are claiming that Italy played dirty, because of 2 fouls that occurred during the play, both punished with 2 yeallow cards and are blaming Italian players for diving. However, there were much diving by Kane and Sterling and many harsh fouls made by English players. England went through the final thx to a fake penalty given due to a dive. Also, England got only one yellow card in the final, during extra times, despite the fact that there were many other occasions to get a yellow card. Also, Italy never got a fake penalty during the road to the final, instead, it was the victim of a fake penalty given to Belgium. Not even mentioning the fact that England played 6 matches out of 7 in England, without travelling through Europe and with its own supporters. What this Euro taught us in the end?
It taught us even with the fix England still couldn't win
i agree with analysis but i don't think the matches were fixed, it's enfuriating but sometimes referees make mistakes (i remember the lukaku dive and i was 'meh'). the only lesson here is: it's coming rome ;)
It tells me England must wait another 55 years to have another chance if they are lucky enough.
It hopefully taught UEFA to get rid off soft penalties. Despite using VAR it's just ridicilaous they don't wanna interrupt and change the desicision when a really soft penalty had been given.
On the good note, I have to give credit to Björn Kuipers. Great final by him!
It taught us that football is a game to be played 11 vs 11 nd at the end England gets nothing. Since 1966.
I think the smartest thing mancini did was taking off immobile he wasn’t really offering much. He cant hold up the ball well he was taking alot of poor touches. he’s a good finisher and has decent pace but when a team is sitting back like England is he has to be able to contribute to the game in other ways because he cant make those clever runs in behind because there sitting so deep. If you look at some of the best strikers in the world lewandoswki, kane, lukaku, benzema they can all hold the ball up well so once he took him off and played insigne as a false 9 he was able to come deeper and receive the ball and link up the play better and that’s when italy started looking more of a threat so immobile has to improve that part of his game
Yes...in my opinion, Immobile was a total disappointment. He is replaceable going forward unless he finds the back of the onion bag more often.
Met Immobile and he's one of my favourites but for italy NT doesn't always convince
Well his name says it all lol
Funny 😄 some of this happened during the game v Belgium in the quarterfinals

I was honestly pleased seeing Italy's off-the-ball movements. They were shaking England's defensive structure by fluid movement to find spaces. I hoped Germany have more willingness to move like this when they faced England. But alas, they were happy to sit still and see England canceled out their system.
People forget but Berardi was REAL close to scoring two goal of the tournament contenders. One was called offside and the one in the final was JUST off target.
Germany were soooo boring to watch in this competition. It was just Kroos switching the ball to Kimmich or Gosens, who then passed it sideways.
Alternate Title : How Southgate parked the bus harder then Mourinho
It wasn’t his Fault, Italy were so much better
@@roejogan2585
Southgate just have poor tactical knowledge, with quality he have on his squad. Mourinho and Mancini easily outcoach him.
At least mourinho knows how to park the bus and win trophies🤫🤫
@@roejogan2585 it was tho cause when England were actaully going on the attack they seemed like they were controlling the game in my opinion, thanks to Southgate parking the bus it gave italy too much time on the ball which made it obvious they were gonna equalize. Still a Good game tho
England played better than Italy in extra time and the first half. Italy dominated the second half. Was a very close game 2 great sides. Shame it went to penalty's
Word. England became too defensive after the early lead and this cost them dearly.
They just parked the bus and didn't play to their potential with Saka and Grealish
You think they would have learned from the 2018 World Cup against Croatia, but nope.

England had a lot of advantages throughout the entire tournament and still didn’t win. They only had to travel once, they had a massively favourable draw and they played dirty in the semis. The arrogant pundits (Rio Ferdinand takes the mick) and the disgraceful behaviour by some of the fans perfectly sums up why nobody wants them to succeed. Commiserations to Southgate and the players though. I do feel bad for them but this is a reality check for the media and the fans.

FIERCE 🇮🇹⚽🏆🌟💙
England in this tournament, believed, almost supernaturally, that their victory was a destiny already written, a litany inflated by Johnson in order to claim the cup and raise the consensus. Paradoxically, England ended up resembling Argentina. Getting to the final convinced all the English that it was already done. After scoring the goal they simply believed that Italy would never be able to equalize the score. Because the God of football had decided so. In some ways that second-minute goal killed them. The tactic only counts in part, it simply lacked the grit and motivation that leads to victory.
FOOTBALL WILL COME HOME FOR ENGLAND, IF THEY CAN PERFORM ON PITCH AND TALK AS IF THEY HAVE WON IT BEFORE THE GAME HAS STARTED, AS THEY DO IN EVERY TOURNAMENT THEY ARE IN. THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE PLAYERS BUT BOTTLE IT WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH. THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR NERVE WHEN TAKING PENALTIES, AS THEIR RECORD IN TOURNAMENTS IS VERY POOR.
No. Maybe Boris thought that but he's a clown and knows nothing about anything (except maybe adultery). We aren't that superstitious, and Football's coming home is totally misunderstood. It's black humour, because we all know it never does. Some people got carried away but most sensible people thought Italy were favourites. But playing in a final we had hope.
Your game analysis is wrong tho. England wanted a second but we had to keep the pitch wide and the pace high when we had the ball. At the same point we had to watch we didn't leave gaps. Italy were the technical side, but we have athletic young lads who are good at one vs one situations. you were going to have a lot of the ball, but we've shown against Spain in the Nations league that our best chance is to be compact when we don't have the ball, play out fast and keep the pitch wide then there are gaps for Sterling et al to attack.
I thought the first half was pretty good from us. But we got tired chasing the ball. If we got the second goal .. but we didn't because your defence was extremely watertight. We made promising situations but your centre halves were outstanding.
I was optimistic at half time but i didn't realise how knackered our players were. Southgate should have rationed out his subs instead of saving them till late. Tired players start losing their concentration. We made mistakes that eventually resulted in a goal. Our substitutes came too late and although we rallied our best chance had gone.
Ironically, you almost gave us a way back when Grealish was fouled that could easily have been a red. And saka would have had a clear run at goal but for a cynical foul from Chiellini (who i think did it believing he would get sent off, but was making the sacrifice for the team). I was angry about that at the time because even a red card wouldn't have made up for a precious chance on goal. But you had a succession of half-chances, and that man Chiesa was very dangerous.
We've never produced a really outstanding technical midfielder, that's our major failing. A few years back we had someone promising (Wilshere, with Arsenal) but he got injured so often and never fully developed. With just one guy like that, it would make our lives so much easier. That's the Premier League for you. We import those guys and our young players develop into different kind of players. If England had a Verrati we would not have to work so damn hard, because we would keep the ball better.
I enjoyed the game even though we lost. Except the penalties because i knew what was going to happen then. because it always does. I thought it was an interesting clash of styles and temperaments. Youth against experience too. I don't think we really understand each others' culture (not the yobs, they are just scum - canaille?) but things like our dark humour and your superstitions - something always seems to get lost in translation. I think most people here would be puzzled that our silly song got you so fired up. We aren't Americans, we humble-brag and we turn our pain at failure into a boast. We live on a soggy wet island where it's cold and rains all the time. Don't expect to understand us unless you've suffered our weather, our public transport and our cooking.
@@carlobeny7400 and they have to get rid of that song
Absolute drivel
@@meandermyself61 Well, all very well said. But... this wasn't 100% my feeling at Wembley on Sunday. I am Italian, I've lived in the UK for over 20 years now. I "suffered" your weather, your food and your public transport (I actually "enjoy" most of it). And I can make a long list of things I love and admire of England. And I understand the long years of hurt and all of that... I was more than happy to support England on Sunday, had they won and I went to the stadium fully expecting to have a great time regardless of the result. Alas... how naive was I!
The atmosphere at Wembley, and outside Wembley in particular, was almost messianic in nature... and it had nasty sentiments of anger, arrogance, and superiority about it. Yes, some people (including the two lads who came with me to the match) fully feared that it would go bad, as it usually does. That Italy had the better team and the better game. That penalty would be fatal. But for a good part of that stadium, the feeling was "this is ours and we deserve it". And many people chanted "it's coming home" in the sense of "how dare you ever think we aren't better than anyone else"... there was little in the way of humility and respect for the adversary, I am afraid. By half-time I really wanted Italy to equalize and stuff you lot.
As you say, with a better mid-field one day you might come to win a major tournament. But in the meantime, it would do everyone some good to change the narrative, and instead of talking about "55 years of pain and counting" and blaming penalties, bad fortune, dirty adversaries, (the hand of) God and whatever else, take a good hard look in the mirror. The media in particular, I've now watched the BBC coverage of the match and I get what the Scots are on about...
Mancini said it well in his pre-match speech: "I have nothing [more] to say [to you], you know what you are [what you are worth]. We are not here by accident. We are the masters of our destiny, not the referee, not the opponents, not anyone. You know what you have to do." Just do it, and shut up about it.
In the meantime, back to cricket... ;)
Thank you Lord that Jorginho didn’t leave the field injured in the first half. It was a privilege watching him play yesterday. World class player
England has a very good squad, but they didn't even really try to win yesterday. After Shaw scored they could have killed Azzurri but gave up almost without fighting! You can't shadow catenaccio without being a serious expert of that dangerous game... It's Italian stuff. Anyway, the lesson Is served: superstars don't make a winning team. Forza Azzurri 💪🏼🥳

@@maximus46999 one shot on target for England after first half.... and only one goal
As an England fan (no toxic hate pls thanks) what's most painful is that this loss is almost a carbon copy of the loss vs Croatia in 2018.
They were both played on 7/11 too ironically.
Great start, but WAY TOO NEGATIVE afterwards, only relying on long balls and set pieces.
Eventually the better midfield starts to dominate and get the equalizer.
Southgate made good adjustments vs Germany, but it looks like he still hasn't fully learned from 2018.
1. This team has good enough attackers not to need to park the bus and solely play on the counter. Ok the MF is not very strong but there are attackers who can pick up the ball and progress it.
2. If you're gonna play on the counter maybe play a forward with pace and tell Kane to do his CAM role at Spurs. Instead of long balls to Kane with no one running in behind!
3. USE THE SUBS. Italy were the much better side for at least 35 mins before 1-1, and Southgate should've brought on Saka and Hendo earlier to disrupt that. We looked even with Italy in ET once Grealish came on and him/Sterling were driving at Italy.
As a brazilian the lost to Argentina was more so dissapointing to me than upsetting. Like we had full control of the game and Argentina scored because of a defenders error where Lodi decided to go cover Thiago Silva's space which left Di Maria open for a lob pass.
I agree so much my friend. It’s not ideal but it’s okay to play counter football. But for counter football to work you need minimal spaces between players and forwards running in behind as a minimum. Southgates tactics are so perverted it’s almost like our players come short to the ball as a counter attacking team, madness. And may I add Grealish is a phenomenal ten in transition, similar to KDB when both run through midfield lines and often pick the correct pass with correct weight.
i think that the late sub is the biggest sin. italy showns that it suffer from fast forward playing. A fast forward combine with tired opponent can be lethal combination. this is was evident when italy late sub-in Chiesa in some early match. his energy and speed was devastating.
@@Mazrati wrong, Argentina was way more pragmatic then Brazil
@@lexkanyima2195 Wasn't that exactly what he said?

I have absolutely 0 idea why Southgate didn't start or sub-in grealish/sancho quicker. Instead, he opted to sub-out two more experienced player in favor of youngsters in crucial penalty shootout and, well, it failed spectacularly.
I rather enjoyed it
Because he preferred to be sure not to get goals
He was afraid to play with wingers. Hence the 5-3-2, with TWO right backs in the starting XI.
They focused on ball possession. Even though a goal behind early in the match, they patiently pressing forward and knew they would eventually score the equaliser and win it. Great football.
england need to be consistent in ball retention and proactive(gareth especially) to be able to see out a game. We should've won that final and reached the world cup final in 2018.
Hopefully people will FINALLY get off Jorginho's back now. Man had an exceptional tournament, and a season too given he's now a double European champion.

No mention on how Insigne play as a false 9 in the second half?
Similar mistakes southgate did again, scored an easy goal then sit back to defend for long periods of time. 18 World Cup semi final Croatia scored the winning goal at England’s right side , Italy 2nd half mainly focused on attacking the spaces between trippier and walker , why southgate didn’t react and made change ? take trippier off and put Reece James on . If Henderson is coming on , should be replace mount , keep 3 midfielders one of them to help out the right side to stop chiesa and insigne’s combinations
Italy did a great job keeping it together after England's early goal Mancini did a great job
If England had stuck to the 4-2-3-1 I believe they’d have made it harder for Italy to break them down. Your preview was the right way for England to have gone about this match. Thank you for your analysis FMS

Yeah Mancini's subs early in the 2nd half was the game changer, after that Italy became more energetic and motivated
And they all missed!
Southgate was too slow to adapt to a new tactical situation after Mancini had made the changes. I wonder if some of the players on the bench were not actually fit. Rashford for instance only in a minute before penalties. He must have had an injury all this time, and was still chosen to the team.

Dude England was weak on the counter. If he wanted to play counter it would perhaps be better to have more than 2 forwards on the pitch

@@LFCEVO24 yeah hes good enough for premiere league. That's about it
What game were you watching ? After the early goal they pulled 10 men back !! Check the stats. Italy had 72% to England’s 28.
It was so painful to watch England playing defensively after just 1 goal despite the past few games showing how good Italy is in coming back into the game. Don't want to undermine his massive achievement but Southgate is at fault here, for settling for a defensive tactic and wrong subs.
The early lead turned out to be a double edged sword as they closed up and tried to defend thier lead instead of tapping on thier hopeful youths to play more open football
@@garyang7839 precisely! The young energy got wasted...
That was probably the biggest tactic mismanagement imo. England was literally dominating and not allowing Italy to even go forward, and they decided to sit back and allow Italy to gain momentum, which ended up allowing Italy to get the equalizer.
Another was the subs. Henderson for rice? Fine. Initially I thought southgate was already thinking about penalties, and henderson is an experienced penalty taker. But then he gets subbed off?For sancho?, an inexperienced penalty taker. Rashford imo isnt a good penalty taker too, he has missed quite a few for man United.
And saka. No idea why he was the 5th taker, the most important role in penalties. Was southgate taking a risk? Because I’m sure if saka scored the winning goal he’ll by hyped as the New England golden boy.
Why not grealish? Why not stones?
Then again I’m not a manager, so I’m pretty sure southgate has his reasons, it’s just unfortunate that it backfired badly.
@@UnluckMiner oh come on "dominating" is far fetched. 66% possession for italy by the end of the game. England paid the price to park the bus. It is what it is.

Him & Bonucci where immense at Euro 2020, as a rock solid central defensive pairing & rode with Italy, as worthy winners of Euro 2020.
Thought Southgate playing with 7 defensive minded players, was reason why we didn’t win, Italian midfield Have great technical high pressure resistant players, that break lines, but best way to counter that is speed and running at them as not so good on the back foot, scoring early changed our mindset to being more negative and sitting far to deep inviting pressure, maybe if he played grealish and sancho would of played more on the front foot
His original plan actually worked very well. In the first half Italy was suppressed so well they were helpless. Then Southgate switched to 4 defenders, Italy was able to play their game, equalized, and the restis history
@@HyperScorpio8688 thought worked for 15 mins, then could see Italians working England out, and then we sat back inviting pressure, yes we defended fantastic all tournament and only conceded 2 goals from set pieces aswell not open play, we where compact, worked hard, pressed well at times, but could see Italy scoring once we sat back, yes starting grealish sancho we would of been more open, but would of created more opportunity’s and pinned them back and not allowed there midfielders to pass through us like Croatia did in World Cup
@@davidharper7591 Maybe but that style of open attacking football would've opened England up for counter attacks - something Italy is good at exploiting. Attacking play can be a double edged sword.
@@gaiasgift yes true, but if you attack them, you at the same time are defending, and players behind need to squeeze up, Italian defence camped out in our defensive third, for most of the 2nd half, players like foden, mount, grealish can keep the ball better, interchange positions more movement and fluidity in the attack, Kane would be in the box more as wouldn’t need to be the playmaker
@@gaiasgift that's true, opening yourself to what was our go to play could've been bad but capitalizing on the defensive error that lead to the first goal and trying to catch the momentum would've been better than giving time to organize, after 15 minutes Italy was fully capable of adapting and analyzing the situation, it just needed time to wait for an opportunity or an error, and they had a lot of time
It was just a matter of which team got the momentum for this win and England never even tried to keep it when the opportunity presented, that was the biggest mistake
Then subbing offensive players late and making them take the pens, young players too
Lots of errors by Southgate basically
Comment. These contents are much more interesting then all the discussions in tv from both English and Italian side. Txs a lot
First thanks to Italy and England for the battle between the two strongest Teams in this Euro 2020.
England was physical so strong, and let Italy suffer a lot, the whole Formation of Italy, between Attacks, Midfield and Defense was well disturbed by England, but than England coaching staff Makes a big Mistake, have change into space defending, this works only 20 to 25 minutes, Italy now have the space to created there game, but is still good disturbed by England now 85%.
but this is what the Italians needed. They are Tactical Masters in the second Half.
The goal of italy was really well defended from England (at first) and Pickfords first save/ reaction World class, but Bonucci read the situation fast enough and leveled the score.
But than you can saw, how Italy use Englands own medicine of the first half and the adaptation of Englands coaching not brave enough (or maybe the tactical Tank was empty)
England was physical the better Team, but tactical outsmart a few percent.
The World Cup, if this happen in Qatar, England needs to developing the last few percents of winning will. We maybe saw the coming World Champion 2022 England. Young , talented but mentally needs get into next step. But again i see in this England Squad a potential to reign over six to eight years all Competitions, but the coaching staff needs to developing instantly, the other teams coming up.
Italy was with this Team on the Peak, to find again such Defenders like Bonucci / Chiellini. I think R. Mancini knows it. The Transition of his new playing style for Italy is maybe the key.
Englands pressing was in the second half starting slow down, it was the quality of the Italian team this tactical move the whole team starts i called "attacking pressing" is a Variation of Pressing Resistance (many small details) . In that situation England have recordinated the running ways of the Attacks and let the midfielders move more. Look at Spain, they really destroyed the Tactical shape of Italy, Spanish Team not use often this kind of Tactical Formations. This was a deep respect to Italy, but Mancini Survived this battle in the Semi.
If R.Mancini can created the Transition in one year, Italy's new playing style will be a threat for every who have to play against them. If England adapt this kind of Attacking style, with that players on the bench. Every team have to asked how high they will loose against England. But against stronger Teams like France or Belgium, they can play a high pace on the pitch over 90 minutes, it is all about Trick plays.
Like the first goal of England against Italy, was wondering what the Italians are doing, such a Disorganize Corner, but great and fast Executed from England. Harry Kane amazing . Englands team needed more supporting/ protecting him. All dangerous Key plays was coming from him.
In QATAR WC World will be Witnessing the 100% Perfect Azzuri Team with no weaknesses. Manicni Already started with New Diamonds in defense like Bastoni , Lovatto , Gabbia etc Very good in Tactically mixed with experienced defenders . In Midfield there will be addition of Elegant Midfiedlers like ..Tonali , Rovella , Fagioli with Locatelli/ Veratti /Jorghino / Sensi/Pellegrini /Pessina . In the attack ...Chiesa , Insigne , Berardi in addition of Raspadori ,Scamacca and the Gratest Nicolo Zaniolo .. Azzuri team will be a GREAT threat in upcmoing days ...
But after a big win like Euro 2020 and the short preparation year to the Worldcup is really hard for the players. For all countries.
I was impressed that Italy fight all his way from the tougher side.
From Austria 120 min.(underestimated them a bit)/ Belgium 90 min. /Spain 120 min + Pen./ England 120 min. + Pen.. If Italy gets stronger in Fitness and shooting skills and still hungry for more definitely one Top team. In this era of Artificial Intelligence Analysis, still find new gameplays and tactical moves.
But i hope for the players, get enough Rest. Is absolutely madness that tight schedule of matches.
England had only one great team in their road to final:Germany( not that strong on this euro) if they had France or Spain on their way, they’ll miss their final. In the final itself they played as if they were guests( uninvited): they just wached italians playing!
I agree. There was no hunger.
They looked bored and got too comfortable after scoring their first goal.
France not, they lost to switzerland for their horrible defence , in other hand spain's horrible strikers cant make much against england i think .

@@Spirosbotos hello from the debutant Finland, Greece 2004 was something extraordinary for football to happen. If it's any comfort, a lot of people here celebrated that win, even if Portugal was a nice team to follow as well. Greece played a great tournament that time, maximum taken out of that squad. That team was an attacking threat, not just defensive. Nobody can win a big tournament with defense alone
This is so interesting and well explained. Have you done other Italy games, like the danger games against Belgium and Spain.
Great high level analysis in terms of structure of general player movement. What was the critical miss however... is the far superior technical ball handling (control, touches, passing - this is where the fluidity of the game happens) of Italy over England. England over and over again does not present this skill generationally. Their style is more like an NFL linebacker; to put their heads down and just go direct. There is limited finesse and elegance in their game as a team. Mancini referred to this at press conferences; that Italy's technical will overcome England's physical play. Ask yourself why Verratti, Barella and Jorginiho just controlled the mid field and possession as they did? Until England commits to adopt these sorts of technical skills coupled with decision making they have little opportunity of winning. The countries that clearly have this mindset in their player development are Brazil, Spain, Germany, France, Italy and Argentina. Also don't assume that the other team won't play as hard. I kept hearing about all the superstars on the England team and Italy had a bunch of 'no namers'. I didn't see any superstars for England, even playing against all the weaker teams they faced. Question: Who would you rather have on your team Cheisa or Sterling? A woman would not ask Maguire or Stones to dance...their lateral movement to control the ball is not at an elite level in tight and tense situations; yet all we heard was how much more more mobile, agile and quicker the English were. This upcoming decade still belongs to France (and Spain based on how they played Italy). England, you need to rethink playing as a team and controlling the ball with confidence and sophistication!
Haha I think you should take your words back about Maguire. He was probably their best player on the pitch imo
I think southgate knew it and he succeeded manage their defender despite those weakness. England among the team with least conceeded in the tournament. And with all explanation. Yet they still can stand up to 120 minutes. But agree. After 2 minutes, england just lost initiave to take over the game.
@@thatisme3thatisme38 He would even be on the bench of a weak Italian team
@@nicoladangelo4216 i don't disagree. but he was one of their best. i did not compare to italians
@@Chimpunk729 they didn't lose initiative. italy just shut them down. there is a difference.
Italy won due to a management of the opposition who put work rate before creativity
England had the dream start with the 2 mins goal, leaving Italy shocked & rattled. But instead of really pressing for the second goal, decided especially in the second half, to sit back & defend; hoping to win by 1-0. That for me was Gareth Southgate's big error. We have a terrible record in penalty shoot outs. Italy was odds on to score. Without a second England goal, you're leaving it to chance, and ending up like Spain.
It was closer than most think on here though, basically while playing better second half Italy only managed to level it with a goal mouth scramble and took it to pens which are always 50/50, but with England's record I just knew the Italians would take it. Overall and this is hard to say, I think Italy did deserve it though
Chiesa was the main threat. And Verratti was cool while in small spaces. Great to finally see Bonucci and Chielline win a international final🇮🇹🏆
When I saw the lineup, I was wondering what the hell Foden and Sancho and Grealish were doing on the bench.
Foden is just a overrated Crap..He will be bench warmer only..
@@alexdelpiero20 Yh, kind of
Foden had a slight injury before the game
@@apple2722 still doesn't change the fact that he's overrated
The English played defensive football in the Italian style of 30 years ago while Italy knew both defending and attacking by winning the ball with excellent pressuing, you can see 62% from the Italians' possession and nine shots on goal for Italy. and only one for the English was that of the cold goal caused by a placing error by the Italian right back
England was so LUCKY to get that stage of Tournament ,they had a lots of easy go with east European Teams and they had 1-1 with Scotland ,,any way if Raheem Sterling didn't Dive like that they would be knocked out by Denmark ..they would never beat Spain or France or even Switzerland if they were against any of those teams ,Italy really deserved to win the CUP .
Support English club but hates England 🤦♂️
The hypocrisy of online ‘fans’ is hilarious. Some claiming they would rather not watch football, than support the country that the club team they support is from.
No England was Unlucky to lose today they could have won
Manchester United players all have a loser mentality 🤣🤣 and you're United fan. So United are the problem
No I am Chelsea fan
*Some comments about Federico Chiesa:*
He plays for my team, Juventus, so I do know a little about him.
In his first 10 or so matches for Italy he was given all the chances in the world. He played as hard as he could, ran his ass off, but goals were not coming. I remember one of the early matches was a Nations League match versus Portugal (incidentally this was the last loss Italy suffered before they went on their undefeated streak) and that butcher Pepe was really trying his hardest to physically bully him. Chiesa really looked his age and lack of experience against older, much more experienced players like Pepe showed (Pepe's a hack). Chiesa had a lot of work to do.
I honestly believe the fact that the tournament being pushed back 1 year helped both Italy's and England's younger players get 1 more year of experience. With Italy, I specifically mean Chiesa.
I don't think if the tournament was in 2020 he would have been as important. To think he started the tournament on the bench behind Berardi. As a super-sub. Clearly now, Chiesa has made the right side his for the next 5 or 6 years.
He may not be graceful and elegant but he is handful. He reminds me of Arjen Robben. Great control with the ball at his feet while running, doesn't show much of the ball, keeps his legs moving, isn't afraid to shot, shots on site.
Pls do argentina vs brazil review
It's simple...it was hit everyone approaching goal.. specially Neymar 😂😂😂
That match wasn't tactically brilliant... Even from the starting xi Brazil did more mistakes and played worse in the first half... Argentina scored exactly where Brazil was weak(Silva + Lodi) and thereafter they did defended everything Brazil thrown in the second half with the help of referee... That's it
@@boss00763 the referee didn't help them. It was the opposite in the tournament. Even other south americans were supporting Argentina in the final.
@@lordhiguain7800 I didn't told about the entire tournament, I've mentioned here about the Final match alone... I did watched the match live and I can see that referee has been biased towards Argentina
@@boss00763 well keep it to yourself then. Others didn't say anything about the refereeing.
While the hooliganism and anthem booing are entirely fair peripheral criticisms, the match is ultimately decided by what happens on the pitch. Italy on the whole outplayed us, it's that simple. Their midfield is superior, they kept us quiet for around an hour in the middle of the match and Mancini made subtle chess moves expertly after a difficult start. I can't call Bonucci's equaliser lucky, the warning signs had been there for a while. They know how to win trophies, barring '66 we don't and almost certainly never will again. The way it is.
England won the World Cup 55 years ago with a controversial decision from the referee, nothing since then. England as whole needs a through review.
Club sides don't seem to do so badly. Getting a bit bored with all-English Champions league finals - Le squadre del club non sembrano andare così male. Annoiarsi un po' con le finali di Champions League tutte inglesi
Enjoyed the vid. A lot of comments in England on Southgate ie Penalty takers and sitting back etc, but I agree with most of the things the mangers done. However the ONE thing I cannot get my head around was taking Rice off for Henderson, I’m glad you mentioned it at the end of the video as I completely agree that that sub changed the game for the bad for us. Heavily frustrating as Rice has been instrumental in our defensive play all tournament, I just don’t understand

idk anything about football but i feel like you can't really start playing conservative because you scored at 2 min.. you can play on the defense for 20 min, not 88 minutes leaving the opponents do whatever they want.
England stopped playing football after Shaw scored. If they carried on the way they started the match, the result could have been different.
Sancho, Rashford and Grealish should have come on for Kane, Sterling and Mount. England's front 3 did nothing all game.
In the second half sterling became useless after England were not attacking.
@@brideofchristhome.hebrews9885 Those guys need to get feeds from their mids. THAT is where England failed. It wouldn't matter who was up front. Italy did a good job of pressing the England side once they were down. Combine this with an early lead and England was not aware of the trap. Once Italy scored, ALL the pressure was on England "at home". This did not help them. I only wish the game was determined in regular time or even extra time. Then again, the PKs do add drama, don't they?
@@shug2795 Yeah, I get you fam

Appreciate this, because I was far too drunk before the game even started to know what was even going on 🤣🙌🏻

@@bolso66 Wouldn't have it any other way 🙌🏻
We should add some words about substitutions. Mancini did always 5/6 subs because he forged a team with two/three player for each role and all of them knew what to do. So moving out Chiesa, Insigne and Verratti was well compensate by having fresh players in the last 20 minutes (+ET)
May I ask a question? Why did England fail to keep possession ? Just like in 2012 when they played Italy. It can't be a question of individual technical capacity this time around.. or can it ? Or was there a tactical reason? It also seems to me that England's formation was static compared to Italy's
i just think italian midfielders are better
They did what the italians let them do
Eroi! Leggende! History!
Grazie ragazzi!
Sempre FORZA AZZURRI 🇮🇹❤️
As an Englishman I thought it was a great final between 2 great teams, I knew it was going to be tough against Italy but for England to lose by one penalty after 2 hours of football tells me England are a tough team to beat and score against.
5 clean sheets and only 2 goals let in the whole tournament is not an easy thing to do.
People saying that England are crap is an insult to other countries team and an insult on Italy's win.
You have to be a very good team to get a win out of England and Italy are a very good team who had to battle to get back in the game and hold their nerve in the penalties.
Bravo. Good analisi. And to England supporters, as Italian: Italy lost too many finals, count and check them out and you'll agree 😁. That said Italians know how to lose by now 🤷♂️. You in UK, you don't need to master it, just be aware and respect it. The soon you do the soon you'll win. Premiership is, in my opinion, way better than Serie A. It's your task to come to term and capitalise. Today it went our way. Meaning for any one else: better your self. And football will always win. Dai cazzo!
ahahahaha
Mount, Sterling and Kane were the reason England lost. They let Italy passed countless times forming an attack. Southgate eventually fixed this with Saka but it was too late.
Btw Stones and Maguire are really good ball passers
FORZA ITALIAAA. We dominated in the euros. 💙💙💙🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴 really nice vid too
When something like losing a final happens the losing team end up decimated. The coach resigns, players are changed etc.
I hope that this won't happen to this England. The team is young, strong and full of will. Italy deserved to win due to the single fact that they had more stamina and could have finalised the game in extra time. But England has the opportunity to improve their "A" game and come out stronger from this defeat. Don't ditch this team. Next year we will have the World Cup: aim at that.
This is from Italy, BTW. 🙂
Italy was always going to win this game. Football games are won and lost in the midfield and Italy's midfield is far > than England's - more technical, skilfull, tactical and more creative. Verratti, Barella, Jorginho, Locatelli, Pessina, Cristante. And that is without the injured Zaniolo, Pallegrini and Sensi - 3 players that would walk into any side - watch out for Italy in Qatar.
The OP claim of an easy run to the final for England is bogus: the team can only beat the teams it was matched against. Two goals conceded in the whole tournament in match time says a lot for the England defence, which Italy failed to penetrate for more than an hour. Italy's route to becoming champions lay in the hands of its goalkeeper, who played a blinder.
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Cry me a river, see you next TIME ... BYE BYE,IT S COMING ROME
You really understand nothing about football man. 1 shot during the whole match. I think England has a great potential but a really poor management. Kudos to Italy and Mr. Mancini who are unbeaten for 34 consecutive matches after not being able to qualifying for world cup 2018. We played a great tournament and minimize it to a great goalkeeper as the only reason we won, yeah that's really unfair. Ciao 🇮🇹💙
Did you see the match? It seems like you didn't...😂😂
I don't even remember Sterling or Kane with any shot at goal (Could be wrong), Thats how defensive Southgate played. After that shock early lead the pressure was on Italy, So England could've tried to applied pressure. Trippier had so much space first 20 min, Imagine if that was Sancho
A One shot in 120 minutes, this Is England tactical🤣🤣
The one shot that scored. Same as Italy.
@@cally77777 with the difference that yours was a lucky goal, and after the goal you finished playing, after the draw we continued to have control of the ball and shot on goal 6 times, England was already thinking about penalties from the minute 60, was this your tactic to win the cup? 🤣🤣 so it doesn't surprise me if you never win anything in your life
Wonderful video, thank you very much for your work. Just one thing: the italian midfielder Marco Verratti is spelled with two “r”.
Next time England should try to play football. A back 3 behind Trippier, Phillips, Rice, Shawn, with Kane spending more time in his own half than the adversary's, Sterling attempting dive after dive, and Mount... just being there, is not how you win the finals of a tournament. But look at the bright side: Pickford was good!
Neither bonucci or chiellini where dribbled past once during the entire tournament. Saka got close but chiellinis foul preserves that stat…. It’s amazing
Also pretty key was how Italy disrupted England going forward with persistent fouls before anything could get going... 6 yellow cards were given and it could have easily been more plus a red for the stamp on Grealish. In the 2nd half England struggled to get into the game and Italy were relentless with their pressure.
that foul on grealish was a clear yellow card. I suggest you go take a closer look at the rules
True although some were not legit fools. Acting sold them
Italy played better generally. ı think all the tournament immobile was mediocre in italy team. First 11 get into the pitch was true for England. Trippier made the assist Luke shaw scored the goal but in the second half Mancini subbed players on time and successfully. It made the difference for Italy team. 2 young players missed the penalty kicks for England. By the way, I am Italian Football Lover. Forza Azzurri.
This match wasnt about tactics, it was pretty even. It was about mentality. That gave Italy the edge.
What? Italy's offense is a lot better than England the whole match!! Are you dreaming? Lol😆
It was far from even, are you blind? 2nd half England were nowhere cause they were getting outplayed
@@ScaroMK and in overtime what happened, then? And during the first half of the game?
@@Whoami1988_ they have better mentality than England. Spain, for example, outplayed Italy and Luis Enrique outcoached Mancini. Tonight it wasnt the case. It was a manager wasting loads of talents and having another team with a strong character playing away from home showing what this business is about.
@@titodiyei8684 The early goal shook the Italians. It would any team. You could see how frustrated they were in the first 15-20 mins, but when they started to find their feet and play their own game, they started to take the control of the game. England defensively are good. That is the reason why they could break through the defensive lines in the first half. It took a tactical change in formation in the second half to make all of the difference with Immobile going off and Berardi coming on. And when they made their substitutions in extra-time, it changed the dynamics of the team, especially with Chiesa going off and Bernardeschi replacing him.
It is fine saying England should have attacked more but to do that you need possession of the ball and England's midfield 3 simply did not have the technical ability to retain possession or play their way through tight spaces.
Against Belgium twice and Croatia in the WC and here v Italy we see that England are technically not good enough at this level to control the play especially in midfield.
