Fans, players and pundits had written the filmscript - entitled ‘England’s glory’ - but the Italians obviously hadn’t read it. When the scores are still level, even after extra time, it might be better just to toss a coin to see who wins. Or have a few hands of gin rummy. When the fans’ dreams are dashed, someone has to get the blame… and missing a penalty is on a player's CV for ever (that's what Gareth Southgate was best known for, until he landed the England job). Anyway, the players - and Southgate - exceeded expectations by getting to Wembley, and provided some much-needed relief from masks, social distancing and the endless flow of data about infections, hospitalisations and covid-related deaths.
