Not sure they deserve it though (not just jingoism here).

Italy had roughly twice as many fouls as England.
England led for much of the match.
Italy only won on penalties.

Mind you, a win is a win :)
 
It IS coming home!!!

The only thing better than Italy winning is watching them pop the English hubris balloon. They had everything stacked in their favor with no travel and a guaranteed home game for every match and they still wet their pants during penalties.
 
A full game. 2 overtimes. Down to pks.

Many chances and time for both teams to win.
 

England being England…🤣
Oh well. Onward to a USA victory in the Concacaf Gold Cup (first game tonight 8:30 pm ET on FS1/Univision).
 
After that early first goal, it seemed like England was going to be the team to beat. However, and I don't know if that made them over confident or what, they just didn't seem to have the same drive that Italy had. Italy was hungry. The totally dominated as far as possession was concerned.

As for the PKs, none of them were very impressive. As Tim Howard said in the post-game show, it was kind of unfair of England to put that 19 year old kid as the fifth kicker.

Apparently, we are not amused. :snooty:
