Yeah, i'm on opposite side of this. Rather they play continuous extra times till drop dead, but are thus forced to score to win in open play. This kind of system was at some point in ice hockey and extra times were in some occasion lengthier than main game.

In theory the golden goal is the best way to end a match that goes into extra time, in practise it feels a bit anticlimactic.

I wouldn't mind if they would have to drop one player for the extra time. More space and time to score goals. It would create more exciting extra time.

Italy are basically known for their aggression, cynicism throughout their history. This tournament they've added other aspects of that old Catenaccio mentality with their great press and wanting to control possession when possible and play good football.

Aggression is a technical term that has nothing to do with cynicism.

Operation "Next Goal Wins".

1 player dropped every 5 minutes, with golden goal in effect. The final 5 (including goalkeepers) are your 5 penalty takers.

It's a fun tournament anthem. Calm down. Half of the lyrics are about how bad England have been at the World Cup and Euros.



There's a chance that you're projecting.

What started as a fun anthem, it's now the cringiest slogan a nation ever came with in international football. They even asked Schmeichel about it. His response was class. Anyway, nothing particularly against England, it's just you guys always overrate your players till death. Also, you play shit on stick football with Southgate.
