England’s woeful performance at penalty shootout has cost them the highly needed Euro Cup.
They lost three penalties consecutively, paving the way for Italy to lift the cup on Sunday night.
The fact that the three players who lost the kicks are young folks may raise questions concerning the role maturity and experience play in the kind of critical situation Coach Gareth Southgate lined them up for.
The players are Championship Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all missing from the spot in the shootout.
The three were, incidentally substitutes, suggesting that coach naturally banked on them.
The match ended 1-1 at full time, leading to an extra half that produced no goal.
