After the crap English fans pulled with booing, throwing a ball on the field, and a fan directing a laser pointer at the Danish goalie, not to mention the crap about 'it's coming home', I hope the Italians smoke the English.
It's a pity because I think the English players are great. They play hard, they are active in their communities, and generally good role-models.

England is playing at home, that means they have home field advantage...

England has gone ahead 1-0 very early in the match with a goal in the second minute.

I think there are bad fans of pretty much all teams, especially in soccer. I recall that during the 2015 Women's World Cup Final, there were a lot of idiot American fans who were making references to World War II. In fact, Pearl Harbor was actually trending on Twitter during the match.

Italy has tied the match at 1-1 off a corner kick that led to some suspect defending by England and a goal in the ensuring scramble.

England has gone ahead 1-0 very early in the match with a goal in the second minute. That goal was a bit of a surprise because moments earlier an English player attempted to pass the ball back to his goalkeeper and kicked the ball past the goal line, giving Italy a corner kick. When it happened I thought it was a bad omen but nothing came of it.

The match is still tied at 1-1 after extra time. It will be decided in penalties.

Oof. Two great kicks and then three really poor ones.

Well, that was a really exciting shootout. Heartbreaker for England with those missed penalties. Shades of Team USA in the 2011 WWC.

Enh, a match that will never be included in a “greatest matches in history” compilation. Still, Italy were the better side from about the 30th minute on, so not an unfair result.

I know England is heartbroken, but I think they should still feel good about the future of their program. It wasn't that long ago that they were getting clowned for doing as bad as or worse than the USA at multiple World Cups in a row, but now they've been to a World Cup semi and a Euro final since 2018. Also, a lot of credit to Italy for recovering so quickly after they failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

Watched both the euro final and the copa America final between Argentina and Brazil. Home field didn't mean squat as the visitors won both finals. Definitely looking forward to'world cup 2022. My favorite sporting event.
