Can someone who knows about soccer tell me the point of Luke shaw? I see a holding midfielder with no attacking instinct whose signature move is a gentle tap backwards to the defensive line.

Am I missing something?

Aged well.

I'm not soccer aficionado, but he's been my pick of the England team. Looks to be a very smart player and has featured in a lot of the big plays.

I wish someone would tell me I’ve aged well…

@billy-tell you've aged well

Spain v England Final for me

Watching this on German TV on Rab Island Croatia. Bastian Schweinsteiger is one of the experts. I see his wife is Ana Ivanovic. Nice work son.

Lively start from both sides

So far Spain strikers remain useless. Despite changes.

To my surprise Spain are dominating but the first touch of their strikers is just so poor.

Ha ha. Italy score on the counterattack. That’ll learn Spain for being so profligate.

Great finish

Spain have wasted too many opportunities

But get a very nice goal

Morata of all people scores. Great game

Fabulous goal from Spain

1-1

Ref is fab. Not buying any BS.

Both very nice goals in their different ways but fuck the post-goal celebrations are embarrassing.

I wonder how long they spend practicing their oh so contrived slides and choreographed arm movements. /GOM

Spain deserve to win. They have been the better side. We see what happens though…

Olmo is motm. Been great for Spain and has taken his punishment like a man without rolling around.

shootout and Italy's first (crap - telegraphed kick is saved)

and Spains first attempt is even worse 0-0

Penalty effort was woeful though.
