It's Hot or Not time as Sportsmail's CRAIG HOPE tells us what's been making him feel warm and what's left him feeling cold this week...
HOT
Gianluigi Donnarumma
As a boy, opponents accused him of being too old to play, so big and so good was he. Pick on someone your own size was the message. So he did. Sadly for us, he picked England's penalty-takers. The Italy keeper was Player of the Tournament, too. When his country needed him, he stood up like a man. Then again, they have been saying that about him for years.
Novak Djokovic
In winning his 20th Slam title, he moved level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. But how remarkable if he edges ahead by becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete a calendar Slam of all four majors. Only the US Open to go next month.
Gareth Southgate
OK, you may notice England's boss is also in the column below. That is because, I believe, it is possible to be both immensely proud of Southgate, as well as critical of aspects of Sunday's final. But this section is where he really belongs, for taking England to within a penalty shootout of a major trophy.
NOT
Gareth Southgate
There is regret at how the final played out. This is not with hindsight, it was with foresight that half the nation was screaming to introduce offensive players such as Jack Grealish far sooner than the 99th minute. Grealish should have started the quarter-final against Ukraine and, had he done so, he would have played his way into the team. The cautious approach that took England so far might just have contributed to the Italy defeat.
Street Rats
That is how a friend who was at Wembley described them, the invading vermin who smashed down barriers and barged past stewards ahead of the Euro 2020 final. I can take losing a match — we are used to that — but a video of a dad running with his young boy to safety, well that really upset me. We were lucky a tragedy was avoided.
Bryson DeChambeau
A bad workman blames his tools, we are told. Now DeChambeau is not a bad golfer, but in criticising his clubs following a poor opening round at The Open, he left himself open to ridicule. 'Stupid!' screamed the headlines on Friday — and that was the verdict of his own club manufacturer!

Give the man some credit he may have not won the title but his tactics were all good that led the team to final..! One loss doesn’t automatically changes everything..! People are so quick to switch sides and turn the tables it’s only the loss they remember.!

the most stupid thing he did was select ing the players to take the penalty's he should have asked me that if you wants to take the penalty's get up and take the kicks.

England has no quality players on goal, midfield and probably both attacking wings, for sure you are going to not win anything with this coach.

He went with the worst formation with 5/3 centerback and parked the bus. Expecting to defend for 80mins. they played so well against other teams when they are playing back 4.

He had made brave changes earlier not withstanding criticism but when it comes to the crucial stage, he was timid and made all the wrong play and tactics! Playing it safe in final don't win you games!
