Ste.... Before you go spouting made up BS do some research ffs. Don't talk from authority when you are making stuff up. Didier Deschamps has faced 100s of questions by the written media and TV and they have all been killing him for stinking the gaff out! he doesn't care but they are battering him.
I do agree with Ste that if we win, we will win in spite of Southgate. Not making subs between 50 and 78 minutes when we fizzled out was the same as Crotia, Italy and France all over again. He is a bottler.
YOOO RIO DELETE THAT SILLY ENGLISH TITLE OF THIS VIDEO BEFORE ITS TOO LATE 😂😂 TOO STRONG FOR THE NETHERLANDS? HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING YOUR TEAM PLAY FOR THE LAST IDK 60 YEARS?
i was thinking the same think, england play like man united,and united play dutch football so souhtgate is gonna try beat the dutch with dutch football, like he tried to play italian football in the last final
Well done Rio for calling out the racists with your post. Let’s be honest, if any of those lads had missed they would have had their DM’s blown up with all kinds of disgusting comments.
Why is Rio still pushing Foden , he has been poor all tournament. I’d rather see him replaced with Palmer who offered more coming off the bench . I get Foden is technically good but that doesn’t mean we have to keep forcing him in the squad we have a strong bench , use it .
@@rajimusFoden looks lost out there, he’s doing some really bizarre things. How many chances is he going to get before Southgate realises it isn’t working with him
And we have Palmer, always consistent, always contending for mom. Saka, even 99% of arsenal fans have said, has been having mares galore past n seasons I.e. just shows football is full of frauds and mor ons given the palmers and kdbs not being forefront of big teams at the early ages.
@@jamesburke2094Arsenal fans are really loud online i must say. Although Saka has been one of our best players this tournament - Palmer is still the better player. These 10 minute/ ET cameos aren’t enough to prove him self
@@jamesburke2094a front line of Palmer, Kane and Foden is a cure for insomnia. Zero pace. Palmer will never be a better right winger in his lifetime than Saka
Rio is a joke when he talks about Ronaldo “ they don’t qualify without Ronaldo” they conceded 2 goals in 10 games in easiest group, it’s clear they need to move on from Ronaldo
@ak you fan boys make me sick..ronaldo being the little cry baby like he is, he's standing in the way of young strikers...guarantee they can't wait til he retires
Bellingham held down the left hand side for 60+mins then took over from an exceptional Mainoo and maintained the level, through extra time and buried his penalty, he is England’s most important player. Saka and Walker are a world class right hand side, Foden and Mainoo completing the square was spot on. Luke Shaw needs to hit the ground running with Bellingham on the left for 45-60, get the lead and adjust accordingly, use the subs use the squad. -- Kane -- -Bellingham Foden- Shaw Rice Mainoo Saka -Guehi Stones Walker- Pickford Kane needs to play as a target man and trust the players behind him a touch more.
@@themurph36He's a Manchester United supporter and the abuse Manchester United players have recieved from so called England fans is pretty disgusting. He, as have many Manchester United fans, became disillusioned with the England team.
Rio knows if he criticises Ronaldo he will be shunned like Neville and Rooney. We know he values Ronaldo liking him more than valid football takes so why does Joel ask him about him knowing he is not going to get an honest answer.
The Ronaldo topic, while subjective; sure, but we should remember that it’s always easy to say this after the fact. CR7 is still playing at a high clip, ppl just have to admit that first. He is aged and otw out, but his form is still good, and they have to also create opportunities for him, you have to cater to him, but that’s the name of the game… if you have Mbappe you don’t play tiki taki, you shoot the gap hard and relentlessly… lastly, it’s not crazy for ppl to go scoreless at this level… so many players don’t make that impact that ppl are demanding out of Ronaldo… it’s almost like ( if he doesn’t score - he be ridiculed harder, only bc of his age, ludicrous, Mbappe is not scoring but no one saying that. It’s just overkill now… Ronaldo is playing bc he still got it, that’s all there is to say. He misses a set piece by an inch and they call for him to let it go… lmao
@@martinpedersen2650 lacking context in your comment… not sure if I said that or not. But this euros has been weird… almost all pens, teams are parking bus, playing for pens… and we have like 10+ own goals… safe to say, goal scoring across the board, for the elite strikers is down massively. Copa has Argentina squeaking by with pens, Brazil eliminated… Brazil draw with US right before copa….
Ronaldo has had a great career but now he should probably be brought on at 70 mins. Let him use his tricky movement against tired defenders. He can be there for pens if it comes to it. Ramos or Jota should have been starting the matches.
@@bbqR0ADK1LL You’re not wrong, in the sense that they are qualified… People wouldn’t be up in arms about Ronaldo being a sub. They just aren’t better than he is… because Ronaldo isn’t what he was, there’s this narrative that he shouldn’t be out there. It’s absolute garbage… this version of Ronaldo is still better than the LARGE MAJORITY of the players in premier/la-liga pool of footballers… teams just can’t afford him. Ronaldo, absolutely balled out this year… had ten goals in the qualifiers to get to the euros…. ( 10 goals )… he absolutely belonged out there.
Only 1 real problem with England and it's the fact that none of them are even remotely at full fitness. They aren't taking risk because they don't have the energy to try and run it down all game. They would rather go slow and whatever happens happens. Whenever England had played anything fast than jogging pace the instantly threaten the other team and look like they can score. When Cole came on for 5 minutes and actually ran he looked the best player out there, the offside goal being 1 of the only times that game they tried, when they made a bunch of attacking subs and threw everything at the goal they scored a last second equalizer and a goal soon as extra time started, and last game whenever they actually started playing with pace they looked good. During the WC England players were running everywhere even when they weren't playing well. Now they just look dead tired grafting through the games
With me am a strong fan of England here in Uganda, but what i know football has no shortcut, it can be a good day in the office for yo side or for the opponent, so let's wait for the last whistle.
Love Rios enthusiasm! Nice to see someone supporting the team, rather than just pointing out every negative. I get the impression ste wants england to fail to prove himself right. Come on England!!!!! Our year 💪
Palmer is better than saka tbf but you cant drop him after that clutch goal, saka already had that position locked so was always going to be tough for palmer to get in.
We've already got rid of Portugal, now we just need to get rid of France and England and we'll be free of the negative managers making immensely talented teams play like 2004 Greece. Hell, worse than 2004 Greece. People don't understand France, btw. They aren't playing negatively because they want to, this time. Their attack at the Euros is actually dysfunctional.
Harry Kane should not start in the semi final. He's not fit enough very slow sits to deep sor him run in for a throw in crazy. He only had 26 touches in 106 minutes . I reckon Watkins or Ivan should start. It needs calling out. If Southgate has to bring on Kane in the second half. He's almost the same sinario to Ronaldo.
Ok so we can’t talk about Ronaldo’s runs…can we talk about Portugal having Bernardo and Bruno barely looking at those runs…about how their crosses always hits the first defender…it’s been 9 years since Ronaldo turned and in every single one of those years they’ve been waiting for a moment like this to say he’s finished
It's astonishing to still see so many negative comments about Southgate. He has remained steadfast throughout the competition, making minimal changes even when facing criticism from half the nation. Yet here we are in the semi-final. He deserves some respect. ✊
They helped morata by letting him play deeper and make runs and not get useless by staying close to the line and being repeatedly off side. Obvious solution but people didn't do it earlier with him, he is a better runner when he starts deeper.
Wouldn’t have qualified Rio? Luxembourg came second to Portugal. Are you seriously telling me that Portugal wouldn’t qualify over Luxembourg if Ronaldo didn’t play.
Age gets you, doesn’t matter how hard you train or how fit you are. At 39/40 you can’t compete at high level. Maybe movements was their but body doesn’t have ability to finish it.
pepe did for porto. you could see one old star doin it for a last summer tournment but portos physicians wouldnt "allow pepe to play for conceicao squad
26:26 This is why i keep saying Joel Beya does not represent Arsenal fans. This guy has no standards what so ever... New generation Arsenal fans who never seen this club win a title.
Nah Rio doesn't watch Saka, coz he's been comfortable going both ways for ages now. Sure, he still prefers cutting in, but this is why he's always doubled up when he plays for Arsenal. If he gets 1v1 opportunities, 9/10 times he's cooking the defender and creates something. Such an underrated player still.
It will be no contest tonight. Tactical genius Southgate will do his masterclass tonight. With Ballon d or contender Bellingham, England will show what they really capable tonight. It will be an entertaining match.
Gordon is still on the fringes because of his mercenary mindset in the England camp, playing to the media, putting personal pressure on other players and Southgate etc.
Are England too strong for the Netherlands 😂🤣. I’m an English fan and I’m optimistic but you should never doubt the Dutch even if this present Dutch side aren’t the best. Sometimes I see why other countries find us arrogant even if we feel entitled to do so
Like most footballers....but I guarantee, off camera or having pillow talk with the other half, they speak the most.. I listen to good content creators more than these divs
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Saudis had sponsored Martinez in exchange for putting the spotlight on their crown jewel Ronaldo, who was an absolute liability, and totally killed the balance of the Portuguese team.
I think the Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman is gonna make it difficult for England to win when we play the Netherlands as he's got a good record of doing this against us in the past but we must be weary of the Dutch and step up.
Hey comment section not sure if I missed it but Joel saying the squad feels together and Rio saying everybody feels included, Did I miss Joe Gomez and Lewis Dunks feature, asking for a friend.
The truth is Portugal still don't have a striker better than Ronaldo. There's no exceptional young striker with amazing physicality and goal scoring clutchness for Portugal. We have to wait for Ronaldo JR.
I'm a United supported but Joel spot on! Rio is simply protecting his future like the rest of the pundits with the Ronaldo bias. Also, I thought you spoke the truth Mr.Howson?
The absolute gas from this channel 😂 Mainoo has been fine! Making him sound like he’s been the best player at the tournament, not even close to being Englands best player
Rio has gone full Joel Beya-Arsenal now, if Switzerland were a mere coin toss of a pen shootout from beating us, how do you figure that Netherlands has no chance of beating us based on failing to beat Switzerland in 120 minutes.
Mbappe had assists on his first game, also he always has 2-3 players on him even injured. Regardless he still feared. France are due for some luck now.
Hello Rio, in this EURO every team is playing in almost 4 3 3 but without really using #9 in true sense, they have #9 but there is no service for #9. They are playing as if there is false 9. Most teams have #9 but are they really playing like it? are they getting the service? Mbappe plays like 11, Hojlund played like 11 and 9 but did not get service of 9. Ronaldo played as 9 10 11 , Portugal had too many 10s, Germany had #9 but the service was lacking, Germany definitely lacked width by the wingers, they were often coming too central and getting blocked, rarely Leroy Sane was seen on the line, he was always more near centre than line.
england plays the most boring/defensive football, got 2 times luck with going through against mid teams but you guys still think you will easily win against the netherlands😂😂
Plenty of nr 9s in this tournament. Lewandowski, Weghorst, Fulkrug just to name a few. But football has changed (and it may change back again) and teams don't start the big man upfront.
@@John858_ really in 4 tournaments already he’s definitely been tested, he also saves at least 1 pen per shoot out , most clean sheets in tournament football😂😂 how much more testing do you need.
22:45 why do people always bring up Ronaldo prime as if it’s relevant to how crap he’s performing at the moment? He’s hurting his national teams and people are fanboys of Ronaldo so they can’t see it
We needed penalties to beat Switzerland, didn't look like scoring from open play with our tactics and needed a moment from an individual player to bail us out. Gareth and his tactics are a joke. Quality wise of course we are stronger but our tactics and playstyle completely nullify that quality and we end up playing crap football.
once again any Ronaldo discussion of any kind is just null and void with Rio's bias. Does he go to the World Cup? 'if he wants to!' - that's precisely the problem.
Put your allegiances aside Rio, Ronny is well and truly washed mate. It was clear as day when he was at United. The guys 40, it’s no disrespect. From a red
cause they lost them. being better doesnt mean you win the full 90s thats why youre at a shotout but still usual is quality over luck in any form of football techique expose
You know what i do give joel sum stick but the ronny piece i agree with im a utd fan and for me cr7 is GOAT but i think hes done at the top level in terms of overall expectations of what u expect the team to do .. so many times the team was happy to play side ways then into his feet. It smelt alot like when he was back at united when things wernt going well. Martinez shuda have started Ramos 3rd game and nx 2 and told ronny ull get 25 mins im sure those games wudda been done by then

How are England always so lucky with these competitions. France, Portugal, Spain, Germany and Belgium all on the other side of the knockout tree.
Nice to hear Steve talk about Dechamps and how he put the Madrid players on the bench istead of Rabiot , wtchock for a sec 😂
For me Pepe has been the best defender in this tournament specially considering his age
Can’t believe Rio is probably the best CB the prem has ever seen, his view on football is f’ing rubish😂
Rio's view on football will be different because he was just so naturally good as a defender. Even PL games were easy for him.
@@thrilla72 I agree, he was a stellar defender!
Like most footballers....but I guarantee, off camera or having pillow talk with the other half, they speak the most..
I listen to good content creators more than these divs
Look at Owen and gasquoine. Good footballers are often total airheads.
Pure trash
Georgia’s striker should get some praise
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Saudis had sponsored Martinez in exchange for putting the spotlight on their crown jewel Ronaldo, who was an absolute liability, and totally killed the balance of the Portuguese team.
There is no way we beat Spain or France in the final with how we are playing
You need to win against netherlands first before you say whatever
Mate ur not beating holland any team that actually played football u lot struggle
@@wrysagb9330 we’ll be fine against Netherlands who finished third in their group with Shaw back
Have you watched France
France ain't scored a goal in open play and we have the best defensive record lol if it's England France expect a bore draw and pens lol 😂😂
Big up Ste and Rio backing West Ham over Arsenal🙅
"Steve, just cos you're talking doesn't mean your right"
rio i thought your vlog was the most fun thing in the euros , i love that you finally met ryan as a welsh girl im just saying youre a star
Yeah mate im definitely taking Rio’s opinions on centre backs over Ste’s everyday day of the week and twice on a Sunday!😂😅
watching this after the yoro bid got accepted>>
I think the Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman is gonna make it difficult for England to win when we play the Netherlands as he's got a good record of doing this against us in the past but we must be weary of the Dutch and step up.
They call ste negative. He’s literally the only one keeping it real 😂 spitting straight facts. Can’t believe England were the favourites
Hey comment section not sure if I missed it but Joel saying the squad feels together and Rio saying everybody feels included, Did I miss Joe Gomez and Lewis Dunks feature, asking for a friend.
The truth is Portugal still don't have a striker better than Ronaldo. There's no exceptional young striker with amazing physicality and goal scoring clutchness for Portugal. We have to wait for Ronaldo JR.
I'm a United supported but Joel spot on! Rio is simply protecting his future like the rest of the pundits with the Ronaldo bias. Also, I thought you spoke the truth Mr.Howson?
The absolute gas from this channel 😂 Mainoo has been fine! Making him sound like he’s been the best player at the tournament, not even close to being Englands best player
Wow i actually agreed w Ste re England.
Messi missing all those chances and the penalty but they’ve brushed it under the carpet like it never happened 😂😂
Rio has gone full Joel Beya-Arsenal now, if Switzerland were a mere coin toss of a pen shootout from beating us, how do you figure that Netherlands has no chance of beating us based on failing to beat Switzerland in 120 minutes.
Arteta reminds me the way Sir Walter Smith used to manage at Rangers
Mbappe had assists on his first game, also he always has 2-3 players on him even injured. Regardless he still feared. France are due for some luck now.
Rio avoids mentioning VVD we know why 😭
Ain't nothing as frustrating as watching England and Man United!!
Hello Rio, in this EURO every team is playing in almost 4 3 3 but without really using #9 in true sense, they have #9 but there is no service for #9. They are playing as if there is false 9. Most teams have #9 but are they really playing like it? are they getting the service? Mbappe plays like 11, Hojlund played like 11 and 9 but did not get service of 9. Ronaldo played as 9 10 11 , Portugal had too many 10s, Germany had #9 but the service was lacking, Germany definitely lacked width by the wingers, they were often coming too central and getting blocked, rarely Leroy Sane was seen on the line, he was always more near centre than line.
england plays the most boring/defensive football, got 2 times luck with going through against mid teams but you guys still think you will easily win against the netherlands😂😂
Rio Ferdinand What a legend. 💪💪
I thought Rio didnt think Saka was world class and was the lead critic.....hmmm
Rio you said Saka is not world class and Foden is not long ago. If doing it on the world stage is not world class what is ?
Plenty of nr 9s in this tournament. Lewandowski, Weghorst, Fulkrug just to name a few. But football has changed (and it may change back again) and teams don't start the big man upfront.
Pickford by far is the most important player by far
Hasn’t been tested yet
@@John858_ really in 4 tournaments already he’s definitely been tested, he also saves at least 1 pen per shoot out , most clean sheets in tournament football😂😂 how much more testing do you need.
22:45 why do people always bring up Ronaldo prime as if it’s relevant to how crap he’s performing at the moment? He’s hurting his national teams and people are fanboys of Ronaldo so they can’t see it
We needed penalties to beat Switzerland, didn't look like scoring from open play with our tactics and needed a moment from an individual player to bail us out. Gareth and his tactics are a joke. Quality wise of course we are stronger but our tactics and playstyle completely nullify that quality and we end up playing crap football.
Joel’s monologues ruin these shows
It's actually kind of difficult to make this level of players play as bad as they are right now.
Ten Hag would drive martinez down himself if given the choice between him and Saliba
once again any Ronaldo discussion of any kind is just null and void with Rio's bias. Does he go to the World Cup? 'if he wants to!' - that's precisely the problem.
Put your allegiances aside Rio, Ronny is well and truly washed mate. It was clear as day when he was at United. The guys 40, it’s no disrespect. From a red
You have to have all that figured out before you step up Rio. I am amazed at hearing this. Also lots of pros regarding penalties a lottery.
cause they lost them. being better doesnt mean you win the full 90s thats why youre at a shotout but still usual is quality over luck in any form of football techique expose
Ste "He tried" 😂
This is a 50/50 game without Southgate. With Southgate I make The Netherlands favourites.
England are always overhyped. Spain should be favourites based on how they've played this tournament.
We can have bugatti but drive like a like toyota
SOUTHGATE is brentford burnley norwich city level manager
That’s an insult to those teams. Southgate would get those teams relegated.
Ste, fair enough you don’t support England , but keep your negativity away.
He is in the semi final
Im sure Rio and Joel are watching different England games to me.
I personally think Ronaldo should have been substituted and give someone else the chance to do something different at least in extra time.
Luke Shaw should start at LWB
You know what i do give joel sum stick but the ronny piece i agree with im a utd fan and for me cr7 is GOAT but i think hes done at the top level in terms of overall expectations of what u expect the team to do .. so many times the team was happy to play side ways then into his feet. It smelt alot like when he was back at united when things wernt going well. Martinez shuda have started Ramos 3rd game and nx 2 and told ronny ull get 25 mins im sure those games wudda been done by then
