It was an interesting encounter between the two teams, arguably the best so far in the tournament,lot of attacking football was seen,but of all the Azzurri's should be commended for a job well done as they outplayed the English team even after going down early in the first half,a very outstanding performance from them.
Finally it as gone to Rome

Yeah quite an encounter it was with both sides giving all they have got. The Italian sure deserves all the commendation from pulling up a win despite conceding early. Their dodgeness and resilience eventually paid off.

After the English first goal, for a moment I thought it was game over until I saw a different Italy come up in the Second second. Always had the inkling the trophy will head to the Azzurris has they made their statement very clear starting from their first match in the tournament.

Yeah first to get on the scoresheet doesn't necessarily translate to getting the final victory. I guess the English side forgot that has they got a little bit complacent after the first goal.

I expected them to fight hard to kill off the game against the Italians but rather they let them resurrect. They can however blame themselves and learn from it so as to avoid a similar occurrence in the future.

The Italian were the more hunger wife and they showed it all through out the match. Glad all their efforts wasn't in vain. Congratulations to the new European Champions. Truly well deserved.
