I hear Colombians can get a bit narky when a player doesn't do quite what the nation would have liked...Only in England people care so much about a penalty miss.

Yeah I keep hearing "oh English fans are the worst" etc. Not excusing the inexcusable) behavior, but that's patently untrue. Italy + Spain are probably ruder, vis-à-vis CL-challenging leagues, on the whole. Eastern Europe and South / Central America are different (see: worse) planets entirely.I hear Colombians can get a bit narky when a player doesn't do quite what the nation would have liked...
People have actually been murdered in Colombia over penalty misses. When Baggio missed in 1994 the Italian angels who everyone was rooting for yesterday vandalized his house and sent him death threats for weeks. The idea that hooligans, racism or despicable behavior over sporting results are uniquely English is offensive and absurd. I'm not excusing the vile behavior aimed at our lads, I can't say what I think should be done to people who behave like that here. It is however not unique to England.Only in England people care so much about a penalty miss.
the look on Luke Shaw's face really is one of fatherly concern - our boy - and his parents - can be very proud that he can inspire such genuine feelings
good stuff from Arteta and co
Luke Shaw is elite, as player and teammatethe look on Luke Shaw's face really is one of fatherly concern - our boy - and his parents - can be very proud that he can inspire such genuine feelings
We’re held to higher standards for some strange reason as well. It’s almost ok for the ****ty minority of other countries to act like animals because, well it’s just Italy being Italy isn’t it? Or Spain doing what we know what Spain do, or ‘come on, go easy, it’s Montenegro, they’ll learn’. I could tell you what’s behind it but there’s no point. There’s as much chance these types of people changing their tune as there is of some inbred deciding not to post vile racism online.Yeah I keep hearing "oh English fans are the worst" etc. Not excusing the inexcusable) behavior, but that's patently untrue.

Our twitter trolls just post **** in a language 50%+ of the world understands.
Absolutely disgraceful commentary.
I don't have issues with kane taking the first pen. For me, your best pk taker either takes the first or last pk.What gets me is Grealish said he would take one, why Gareth let a 19yo take an important pen is crazy. Kane is captain he should take the 5th imo
He kept mentioning "It hits the left arm of saka right in front of the referee". One who think it was saka who committed the more egregious offenseWtf?! Is this guy for real?
Love the bollocks on the kid.
You want to make sure your best takers get the chance to actually take, though.What gets me is Grealish said he would take one, why Gareth let a 19yo take an important pen is crazy. Kane is captain he should take the 5th imo
Exactly. Honestly the fact that a footballing nation like England can't find 2 senior players to bookend a first 5 penalty takers is distressing. Even if you have absolute faith in Saka given his tremendous maturity and composure, you just don't put a kid 5th. Anywhere between 2nd and 4th would have been still a bit dodgy but more understandable. I'll never understand what Southgate was thinking. Having said all that, as much as I want to hunt down each and every cretin sending this incredible lad vile hate, he will recover. Just as Mbappe will recover from his miss. Just as Cristiano recovered from his miss, just as everyone's GOAT Messi recovered from numerous misses, this lad is strong and he will endure and his moment to shine will arrive. I have complete faith in that because he's shown how special he is.I don't have issues with kane taking the first pen. For me, your best pk taker either takes the first or last pk.
But allowing a teenager who happens to be the youngest player on the pitch who has never taken a penalty in senior football to take one was moronic. He basically hung him out to dry.
100%. Neither side of the aisle has a monopoly on agenda merchanting.We’re held to higher standards for some strange reason as well.

Southgate just got us to our first Euro final ever. There is no guarantee when any player takes a penalty, look at Jorginho, normally he would score. Penalties are sh1t, no one likes them, so I wont blame any player or manager for losing on penalties.

I remember the days when commentary used to be without agenda
