England has a very good early goal and they can use it to beat Italy by creating pressure and score a second goal. They chose to do differently, turn to be very seriously defensive. I feel they did not want to attack after having one goal. Maybe they worried that if they attack or counter attack, Italy can score and equalize the result.

England, in the other words, don't deserve to be called as champions because they sacrifice their home stadium advantage very easily. Italy have the DNA of Champions and they equalized the match. After the equalizer, Italy even had some opportunities to beat England in 90 minutes then 120 minutes.

England can try again in the World Cup next year and next Euro. If they manage to join other final matches, they will become champions.

to become a champion, you have to think like a champion
if after the first goal you close in defense (and it is not your style) it means that you are afraid
and therefore, you are not a champion

for Italy the match against Spain was more difficult than against England.. for understand

of course is my personal opinion

Well.. you know the facts. England got the exemption, because they vaccinated more than 60% of their population (Italy managed to inoculate just half that number). The cases are increasing once more in England, but the situation is under control and the number of deaths have remained low. I am also supporting Italy for today's match (I guess a majority of those outside England are rooting for Italy), but for them it will be a very tough job to face England in front of all the English fans at Wembley. It can be quite intimidating, as Denmark found out a few days back.

We all got what we wanted in the end, regardless of the home advantage fan advantage etc. I can't remember which English player who said the 60k fans at Wembley sounded like 200k. I can't imagine how sweet is tastes now for the fans players and coach of Italy who won against what sounded like 200k.

Also, shame on England fans who abused Sancho, Rashford, Saka. My god, you guys don't deserve real Englishmen like them.

You are wrong, even in the first half they didn't play well, since they scored they tried to defend, this is ridiculous in my opinion, because the game has just started and the opposing team (Italy) still has more stamina to fight back.

Do you know what percentage of possession was in the First Half?

England: 20%+ | Italy: 70%+

And it's a silliness from England, I picked them in the bet and I'm satisfied they lost now because of the stupidity of their rhythm

Euro 2020 has ended and Italy has officially become the champion of this year's euro after beating England with a score of 1-2 (3-2), congratulations to the Italian fans who have been loyal to support their team. In addition to Italy getting the euro champion trophy, Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma also won the trophy as the best player in this year's euro competition and Donnarumma was the first goalkeeper to become the best player during the euro competition since it was inaugurated in 1996, while the top scorer in euro 2020 was won by cristiano ronaldo (portugal) with 5 goals and one assist, Pedri (spain) performances are quite good in the euro competition this year makes him deserve to be the best young player at the moment.

Winner team : ITALY

Top Scorer : CRISTIANO RONALDO

Best Player : GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA

Best Young Player : PEDRI

England played very well in the first half. They were very confident and created many chances, one of which was converted into a goal. But unfortunately, they couldn't maintain the rhythm in the second half and had to concede a goal which forced the game to continue with extra time and finally a penalty to be taken. England were not as lucky with penalty kicks as they had been.

The biggest mistake was from the manager of England leaving the last penalty to a really young player.I think that he will have trouble now for the rest of his life when shooting a penalty as I think he will always remember this fail in the final.

Yes, I was shocked when I saw it was Saka taking the final penalty. He looked terrified as he was preparing to take it. At that moment it doesn't matter who takes the best penalties in training; in a high pressure shootout in the final of a major championship, what you need most is an older player with a lot of experience.

I wanted England to win, and losing on penalties is always hard to take. But I am glad for Saka that other England players missed penalties too. That should make it much easier to bear. It would have been different if everyone scored and he was the only one to miss.

Anyway, great Euros, and next stop Qatar 22!

With this result, England further extended the years without a title at a big tournament, the players were too satisfied with one goal in the early minutes, this is a big upset for England supporters, can they be better for the 2022 world cup?

Thats true, if his mind wasn't strong enough, he would remember this as the most painful incident of his career. Even some veteran and retired players there are also have same conditions with him, even on national team or club. The results of the Italian champions were also a perfect results, because since the group phase, Italy had never lost until they became champions.

I feel sorry for those who missed the penalties, I guess that the pressure was too big to handle, but the problem was in the first half. England should have been continued to play and score instead of doing that lame waiting game after the first goal.

Italy's first goal was rather lucky, but their comeback afterwards was impressive. The stats are all in Italy's favor, but I think that all could have been different if England would have used better the psychological advantage they had in the first half.

All in all tough luck England, congrats Italy! And why not, congrats UEFA, this late EURO 2020 was better than many others.

I thought Sterling wasn't impressive in yesterday match and should have been changed early on, the final is not about big name but about who wants to play well that day, I thought I should have seen Saka in the match yesterday early or maybe Sancho even if they both missed a penalty, am sympathetic for the English national team and the country, but congratulations to Italy, I think the football world won't want Chelline or Brazagli pardon me if I spelt it wrongly, but we won't want to see them retire, they are still very fit and the young attackers can infiltrate them, I think the two teams were all even and the penalties was the only way.

Italy obviously played better and deserved to be the winners but the game itself wasn't exciting at all. In fact, the game was very boring till the penalty shoots at the end of the game. I can't believe England missed 3 penalties and not only that, Italy missed 2.

How hard is shooting a penalty ffs? If you can't score a penalty you shouldn't be a football player imo. I can accept 1 miss but 3? That's stupid.

England played exceptionally well in the first half. They have attacked a lot. They didn't give Italy much of a chance to attack. But the game in the second half was completely different. The Italian players have made one attack after another. And in the 67th minute defender Bunicci scored a great goal to draw the match 1-1. The penalty kicks were very exciting.

congrats to Italy, it was a good win for them, and first major title since 2006
regarding England, they will have to wait more for their first European and second major title

match proved that England could play good, but Italy has a better and more compact team, from my point of view, if Italy first scored, England would not have a chance to keep up, Italy would defense better
nevertheless, Euro2020 is over, and we are waiting for Premier league this season

Oh look boring defensive Italy won on Penalties.... surprise surprise. Lol sorry to hate. Nah congrats.

Defensive? Did you watch the match dude? If you watched the match, I do not think that you would say like that since in overall statistic Italy was dominating the game. There was a time when England gave hard pressure to Italy especially when the match was going to end but I cant say that Italy is defensive. Not only on this final match but in all matches during the tournament. The team managed by Mancini is different with Italy in the past when they were so famous as a defensive team but Mancini's team shows the opposite thing.

i think both the teams played well but eventually one has to win. We had the drama in the penalties too where by at one moment it seems that England will win because Italy missed the penalty but then England missed the last three penalties and eventually lost the match.

Congratulations Italy! They became the champions of Euro 2020 held this year! After 53 years, the Italians are the biggest in Europe again. England continues to be unlucky. They are sad to lose the trophy to the Italians in their own country. If they hadn't missed 3 penalties in a row, maybe we would have congratulated England today.

Anyway, Italy was the biggest in Europe!

Italy deserve to win the match they outplayed the English team dominating and taking majority of the possessions while England sat back and 'packed the bus' Southgate should have change that tactic and allow the team to come out and play attacking football instead of defending a single goal.
It is a pity Southgate allowed a 19 years old Sancho and the other teenagers to play penalty shootout at that crucial period or should allowed this teenagers to play first before the older players when likes of walker, stone can play better, congratulations to the Azurris for winning the cup and keeping their unbeaten records intact.

Congratulations to Italy and all Italian Fans and Users for the win on the EM !
It was and awesome and amazing game from both Teams to watch , and the referee have done an nice Job in this game also.
This Final was one from the finest , saddly that it was all the young players that got in the game that missed there penalty.
But yeah i am happy that Italy have made it .

EURO 2020 Trophy get the destination. It ends with a quarrel between coming home or going to Rome. England lost on penalties, but what's painful is they brought in two young players at the last minute because of penalties, but you're right, Italy deserves the win. It looks like Italy is roaring again, 34 unbeaten games and hopefully they can keep it up for a while.
