EURO 2020 Final: Italy Defeat England 3-2 Penalty

EURO 2020 Final: Italy Defeat England 3-2 Penalty

The 2020 European Championship has come to an end on Sunday with Italy having emerged as the winners of UEFA EURO 2020.

England took the lead with a Luke Shaw strike in the 2nd minute, the quickest ever goal in an Euro final. Leonardo Bonucci scored the equaliser for Italy in the 67th minute. The score remained 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes as well as after Extra-Time. Italy won 3-2 on penalties.

Italy, one of the most decorated teams in the world, have ended a few years of trophy drought. England, on the other hand, were in uncharted territory. They haven’t even reached a final since 1966. The last of Italy’s four World Cup victories came in 2006, when Chiellini had already made his international debut but didn’t play at the tournament. But the team is a comparative underachiever in the Euros with its only title in 1968. Italy, however, has already reached the final twice in recent years — in 2000 and 2012 — whereas England hasn’t got close until now. With the pandemic restricting travel to London, the permitted crowd of 66,000 at Wembley Stadium will be largely packed with England fans.

Italy is champion of Europe for the first time since 1968.

Congratulations!

    Tiktok Updates Its Content Rules As Pressure From The West Increases

    By

    TikTok has revised its policies and guidelines for users and content in response to mounting criticism from western authorities who are worried that content on the Chinese-owned video-sharing  app  may  be  used  to disseminate false information.  A revised set of community rules that the firm published includes eight guiding principles for content moderation choices.  Julie de Bailliencourt, TikTok’s global head of product policy, stated that these guidelines are founded on the company’s commitment to upholding human rights and are consistent with international legal frameworks. The Chinese-owned  app  has  drawn  criticism in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, where an increasing number of governments have prohibited TikTok from being used on devices used for official business due to concerns that it poses risks to cybersecurity and data privacy or that it could be used to spread false information and narratives in favor of Beijing.  No proof exists that this has occurred or that TikTok has provided user information to the Chinese government, as some of its detractors have said it would.  On Thursday, chief executive Shou Zi Chew is due to testify before the US Congress. He will be questioned about the company’s privacy and data-security  policies...

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
