Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing for some time. Had to go to the ER twice for anxiety/stress related reasons. I'm a bit better now. Actually got to at least watch the final.
I wish I would have put my prediction out about how I thought england would only be able to win if they scored twice in the 1st half. Italy are shit at pens but england still has that rep for bottling. Honestly england looked like the better team the first half,they just couldn't put that game to bed. You can tell the Italians were nervous/scared after that early goal with England. But then started playing dirtier than 2010s dutch team at the world cup final. Italy have been the best team through out the tournament so the title is deserved. However the journey england had was something. I was right to tell people not to underestimate them at the beginning when everyone including england fans said they would be out by knock out stage. england has some class players. not only that but young players as well. they'll definitely be the team to look at this coming world cup. still I wanna say how stupid southgate was on picking saka(who is 19) to take the last pen. I know saka probably offered to take it but its the manager's job to know when to say no to one of his players. Sterling or graelish should have took it instead like many suggested.
I hope everyone enjoyed the tournament while it lasted. England fans, my condolences. Italian fans, my congrats. I'm neutral so I feel nothing for these teams, really.

Ya'll know my poor lil heart was set on Belgium and Belgium alone.
It was a great final game with the exception of that wonky penalty shoot out. I'm glad it didn't end up with portugal vs france like so many believed. that would have been boring. Both teams knew no one expected them to come this far and wanted to prove everyone that they deserved to be there.
