Bernicia won.
The south failed us. As per.

Good God. How much of a tedious twat do you have to be to write that?
:rolleyes:
I get you're upset but no need to be a prick.
Pickford did great.

Who is being a prick with the boring north south obsession?

Personally I blame the Scots, Welsh and Irish for not contributing players to this side. 



:P

Didn't you get a Great Britain/UK team for the 2012 Olympics anyways?  :D

Only the second title for Italy? I did not realize that.

Take into account that the Euros are a relatively young tournament, it only started out in 1960. The teams with more wins (Germany & Spain) only have 3 titles each.

Also, for whatever reason, we've had more underdogs win the Euros (Denmark, Greece, Czechoslovakia...) than the WC.

There used to be fewer games in the EC, longer tournament decreases odds.

Yeah, until 96 only 8 teams took part, and it was very common for big teams not to qualify.

If we are getting territorial I must point out that we PIGS have won every single Euro championship since 2004  :contract:

:lol:

This picture of the Italian goal deserves to get the "Renaissance painting" treatment.

Back then, Czechoslovakia was not seen as an underdog.

Their WC record was very poor in the 1970s.

Their WC record was very poor in the 1970s.

In the '60s they made it to the final, only to be beaten by the Brazil of Pelé.

Now, they (Czechia) are underdogs, and qualify less often for the WC than in the '70s, in the last 30 years. EURO is another matter, since 1996.
One of the biggest teams from the '30s to the '60s, with a decline leading to a '76 victory in the Euro.  :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panenka_(penalty_kick)

Denmark and Greece had no such record.

Has Italy won a final on penalties? I remember Baggio in 1994.

:grr:

Anyway congrats Italy. Hopefully France will get its shit together for Qatar.

Only the Welsh agreed to help England on the UK team IIRC.
