A Sad English Penis Could Not Stop Italy From Advancing
Pirlo's Panenka-esque chip turned the tide. The Ashleys' gaffes set the table. But it was Alessandro Diamanti, going left and going low, that sent Italy through to the semis over the broken hearts of the overachieving Three Lions.
England rarely goes down without a fight, however. And one fan, situated in the first row behind the goal, did his best to distract Diamanti by dropping his shorts just before his shot. (Go ahead, click on the photo to enlarge, then play Where's Waldo, except with dong.) This photo was taken just after the dagger, at the moment defeat became final. So then, that's your lasting image of England from Euro 2012: a lone fan, arms crossed in disappointment and resignation, a St. George's Cross fright wig on his head and his sad English penis flapping in the Kiev breeze.
