When you park the bus and decide not to play for 88 minutes against nowadays best football in the world, when you dive and expect the ref to Denmark gate Italy, when you try to kill the game and lose the ball to the better side, these are one thing, but when u sub Rashford and Sancho with one goal in mind, apparently you were asking for it! All it took is a Gunner and two Mancunians to eff things over. Btw, thx for killing the show. Kümmel Cumin home, hear ye, hear ye!
agreed - when your entire strategy is to keep it tight and nick one, and you're playing a side who are too savvy to be caught on the counter-attack, then, as crazy as it sounds, the worst thing you can do is score early. You can't waste time and try to frustrate the opposition and cling on for 88+ minutes. The same thing happened to England 3 years earlier against Croatia. Going back further, the same thing happened to Everton (who also played this way, apart from maybe the diving) in their last FA Cup final when they scored a few seconds into the game against Chelsea.
