He hit a really nice run of league form in the second half of the season that seemed to have convinced a few that he would be a good signing - but judging from this tournament I'm not convinced he'd be ready. Have to praise him for seeming to know himself staying at this current club was the right move.

Going to be so unbearable if Ronaldo gets the winner here

Sobbing

Always enjoy pundits and presenters trying to deal with these unexpected gaps with pure FILLER content.

Probably was a foul, wasn't it? All Kimmich is trying to do is block the defender.

Not only are Italy a terrible team, but you can tell that the majority of their players know they are terrible team. Seem to be lacking anything that might be able to drag them back into this. Belief has totally evaporated.

Unbelievable kick off routine from Italy Send half your team sprinting at the opposition back line and then pass it straight to a Swiss midfielder

I'm even angrier this morning Just so gutless. I think McGregor and Gilmour can work together, the problem was they had so little ahead of them. So often they received the ball and could only go backwards, or they did manage to find a forward pass into McTominay and McGinn, but they were then left with zero forward options and the play broke down unless they managed to dribble past a few opponents by themselves. Every opponent had us easily figured out from the first whistle. We barely mustered a real chance in three games because Clarke's only real intent was to see us have pointless possession in the back third, be difficult to break down, and try and generate one scoring opportunity a game. We had the players to do better than we've showed in the three games. That said, I hope McGregor retires from the national team now to extend his club career, which would also free up that spot for Gilmour to cement his position for the years to come.

Also, I know we don't have the strongest squad, we've lost a few important players, and we don't have a massive pool of talent, but I'm already sick of pundits making out we are a total team of plodders that valiantly gave it their all. We have a number of players playing at a decent level, for decent teams, and we should have had enough to at least create some chances in this tournament. Gutless, negative tactics have cost us massively.

Might be time to abuse mod powers and dish out some needless bans

Not willing to indulge in any 'good effort lads' **** talk. Massive disappointment, mainly from Clarke. I'm annoyed Persisted with a system that gave us no forward momentum, didn't allow us to create any chances, restricted all of our best players. Only tactic was to 'hang in there' and try and get a break from a set piece - before some desperate moves in the last few minutes of the final game. Pathetic, really.

Most obvious thing ever^

Na. I think he misjudged the position of the ball, and his body position was awkward, and he did what every player does when that happens and tries to get his body between the ball and opponent. Happened really quickly and he isn't a striker, but honestly as a midfielder if that happens in the middle of the park you get a free-kick for it. (so maybe he was looking for it )

Don't think Armstrong was 'looking' for the penalty - he just wasn't set in his body position, and was trying to right himself and protect the ball. Not convinced it was a pen, but don't think he would have strolled through and finished the chance either.

We had some decent performances using this system in qualifying - but I don't think it's worked for us at all in this tournament so far. Not saying we need to go gung-ho (yet), but I'd be moving to a back four if it was my decision.
