It was an abjectly terrible PK…better to be lucky than good I guess.

They are probably just pretending they don’t know the rule that the penalty-taker can be the first to touch the ball after the keeper saves the penalty haha (she can’t be if it were to hit the post or bar instead of being saved)

The second goal attempt by Michelle Agyemang would have been a thing of beauty if it hadn't struck the cross bar from that striking position.

This was cringe of the highest order. To see her posing after the penalty like she was some kind of magician, in that way the blokes do, was just plain icky. It was a shit penalty, she was bloody lucky the keeper spilled it. Jesus wept.

Soft penalty in the eyes of most neutral observers - and Mark Clattenburg agreed. Then Kelly takes a terrible PK that is blocked but she is bailed out by a a most fortunate ricochet. Cruel result for Italy.

When you are in close view of the ref, you're asking for it if you make the attacker give you a piggyback in the penalty box. Stupid penalty to give away, I agree.

Italy time wasted and played foul all night. The PK wasnt that bad it was struck well actually- and theres nout wrong with a rebound. I dont feel bad for Italy at all after the shitty tactics they used tonight (even their keeper and coach got booked FFS)

You should remember what actual time wasting and “shitty tactics” look like, you lost the Euros at home in your big shiny stadium to Italy because of those tactics in the men’s game. If anything, Italy tonight didn’t engage in shithousery enough. Bc that penalty was top level shithousery from Mead

A shithouse Italian does shithouse tactics on a gifted English player. Gets away with it because FIFA are corrupt.

Shall I remind you that you won the game? You’re acting like the sorest losers after a game you should’ve dominated and only needed a big GK mistake, a huge chance missed and a soft penalty to win. Just celebrate the final, even if we were shithouse central this game had no business being this close

At least Spain played a decent game after going 1-0 up and we salute and celebrate them for that.

Yes, I lost count of the miraculous hamstring recoveries in the Italy squad. It was expected, so it was naive of England to leave it so late that Italy could play 11 players behind the 20 yard line.
