- Why England Will Never Win Trophies
-
After yet another disappointing campaign at Euro2024, everyone keeps asking the same question “why does England never win trophies?”. In this video, we’ll be uncovering everything correlated to that: from Southgate, to the 2006 Golden Generation and today’s parallelisms.

if some segments of the video feel weird, it’s because part of them had to be trimmed off due to copyright claims…
Still a great video.
@@Daily_Sports_Updatesthank you mate!
So there is an age restriction to report that a professional player is overrated??? It's clear as day that Bellingham is in fact overrated, he has been spoken about as being better than Zidane ....Noone can predict the future and in the future Bellingham may turn out to be incredible, however, at this current moment Bellingham is not at the level the media pretends that he is ....
Some people were kind enough to try to save you from yourself.
If it’s because of the background music, then I don’t think it’s really necessary. Actually, it can be quite distracting sometimes.
Saka scores a goal, BBC says he will be among the greats.
Mainoo makes a good pass, BBC says he will be among the greats.
Kane gets subbed, BBC says he will be among the greats.
Jude adjusts his socks, BBC says he will be among the greats.
The media and the public are beyond delusional 😂
The media 100% but you need to stop thinking that real England fans are like that because we’re not.
@@ctaaa76
Yes you are
@@hugoagogo9435 how are we any worse then any other sets of fans?
@@ctaaa76 It's just a general observation from the stuff I've seen, and I agree that everyone is not like that.
Clever Lyrics.
2 reasons:
1) People mistakenly equate the success of the EPL with the success of England. The best EPL players are foreigners.
2) The media hype them up too much that it gets into their heads.
Facts💯
These players have the best managers in the world. That's the main thing. Southgate is one of the worst managers in the world
Well Bellingham and Kane aren't playing in the EPL and they both had outstanding seasons.
The constant drum beat of golden generations is self delusional. English PL teams with foreign managers and stars have won only 3 European cups in 10 years, the Spanish teams have won 7. That's despite oil/blood money from every dodgy 'primce' in the middle east throwing money at it. It's all hype and the english are deluded with poor managers and players that are not quite as good as England thinks
This is nothing to do with being over hyped. They have been to two consecutive finals with dreadful tactics and poor management. They are some of the best players in Europe and denying that fact is just silly
England does not lack talent. England lacks strategy and purpose. You take risks and attack the opponent, not busy passing back and hope to win by penalties. And of course, please bench Kane.
Kane wasn't the problem man
Kane is necessary to get free kicks and penalties by diving
Tried that under Hoddle, went out in the last 16 in the usual manner. Brought in Keegan to attempt the same thing, lost early to teams we often shouldn't have.
@@Hamilton8timeChampion Kane was one of our many problems, a waste of a player on the pitch. He has been extremely consistent in the Euros 2024.. consistently shit. Another huge problem was Palmer not getting a single start, and funny that in the final, he scored and equalised within 2 minutes of coming on, yet Southgate never took advantage of such an incredible and very reliable player
@@mircopaul5259 Lmao, so true
And yet Kane is still trophy less...
They all are.
Not Jude
@@RyanG0899full of league and champions league winners tf you mean
If I was kane. I would just retire. Performing the way he did for years just to be a meme merchant and trophyless, is a big joke that should not be allowed to slide
Yes, Harry Kane now has an impressive collection of silver medals.🥈
You people have got to chill out ... I am no England fan but to call Bellingham overrated at 21 is ridiculous ... It's the English media that hypes them up ...
_I agree it’s absolutely unfair on a 21 year old. People seem to forget and just hate because they don’t like England or Real Madrid._
He is very overrated
good player,but overrated,he is not generational
@@broca246he is!
Average player.
That 2002-2006 team being called The Golden Generation has always tickled me. Frank Lampard is the only one I have seen admit that other teams were better. The Brazil team had 4 Balon D'or winners in that front line. A literal Golden Generation. France had Zidane, Henry, Vieira, Anelka. Let's be real.
Doesn't mean England didn't have a golden generation. I think they did just wasn't as golden as the others lol
Anelka better than Rooney or Owen? 🤣
I think England's Golden 'team' (outside the the 66 wolrd cup winners) were the Euro 96 squad. Boy they had some talent on there, and a pretty solid defence to boot.
@@GeoWizardOwen fell off massively and Anelka was highly underrated
Can’t be golden until you win something. In that case every generation of players who have gone out in 1/4s is golden.
England fans and media always overrate their team, scream “its coming home” every competition, always say we should beat this team and that team. Ultimately forgetting they’ve won nothing since 1966 which is nearly 60 years now. England are the Spurs of international football.
It's coming home was originally a sarcastic song I'm sure
You mean the song that's taking the piss ? Other countries not understanding English sarcasm will never end.
You should go and have a listen to the lyrics of that song. It's about losing. Find it funny it triggers other fans so much
Harry Kane, Belligham , Foden....who does Spain have compared to them, how did theyn lose to Spain ...... its coming home, not this Euros but its coming home......
@@user-yr4vp1jk7jWho does Spain have? You mean you don't know? They have Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Rodri, Pedri (currently injured), Alvaro Morata, Oyarzabal, Mikel Merino.
Hello! I've been following football since 1990 and some thoughts on the English national team over the years:
1. England cannot play as one team.
2. The English are insecure in ball possession.
3. Too high expectations and ego
4. Overpaid and overrated
5. Too conservative and naive tactics.
6. Your thoughts......
@mustlane I can see the parallels with italy in the 90 s . Back then, seria A was the most viewed league in the world . full of foreign players ,lots of money ,the italian teams dominated Europe.
The Italian team was suffering because of the success of the league. When the league lost its appeal, the Italian team started to perform better and won the wold cup in 2006 .
7. Managers that cannot synergise the players to be better as a collective than as a group of individuals
I think points 1, 2 and 5 are connected. They're conservative with tactics because they're insecure in possession. I think countries especially like Spain simply teach better ballwork when they're young. So they generally come out as very well rounded and fluid footballers, who had more freedom to develop their intuition as they get older because they nailed the fundamentals when they were younger. They can keep their head up for longer because they have better control of the ball.
@@Andrea-ug8dr There are more foreign players now in Italy than in 1990s where there were limitations on non-domestic players. For example you take the Milan and Juventus teams that played CL finals in consecutive years over 1993-1998, they had no more than 3-5 foreigners and the rest was all Italians.
No hearth, no rage, no vivacious
Referring to Jamie Carragher as world class ends me. 😂
He said Carrick
Carrick
Only English think they have the best players in the world.
Agreed and I’m from England. Spain had the better team and their players are also more intelligent in general when it comes to football. They can adapt their style mid game with ease as they did against Germany.
this. their media overrates them all the time then just blames the manager. this has been the case for the last 30 years... like really, all your managers are bad?
@@thecrimsondragon9744 Yeah, those ungrateful bloody foreigners. Then the play for their national team and beat England. They should be ashamed!
No I have to disagree. In Spain they were rating England as best team player by player. England squad is actually really great but doesn't have a solid system with identity. It relies too much on individual lucky moments and too many long passes. In the Spanish team, you take one player out, and the new player keeps the same philosophy like nothing happened, and everything flows without thinking too much.
@@miguelaltunagajr6379 no. I disagree. You keep constantly overrating your players as if they were the holy grail of football. English midfielders are nowhere near Rodri. Or Ruiz. Declan Rice and Mainoo? Please.
Have you noticed that English Media continuously compares England to Germany, France, Spain? That's a big factor. They think England is at that level, despite the fact they have not been able to compete with those teams in the past 60 years, if not in very sporadic cases.
No they are not . That's exactly the problem . English medias love to put themselves in the same bracket as WAY bigger nations . Thus the OVERRATED, ARROGANCE comments you see most people throw at england. You don't have no bragging rights in international football. To Even think you could compete with these nations is the very definition of arrogance . Truth is , you closer to the USA when it comes to football legacy than to spain or France let alone Germany or Italy....
@@matteoatigui2411 lol, I think you have a bit of selection bias. How much English media do you think you consume as a percentage? England ranked 4th in the world are a wosre side that Germany ranked 13th.
@@TwoLeftSh0es Germany have 4 f*cking world cups and 3 euros. You , your children and your children's children , won't be alive to see england have those accolades. So keep your fifa ranking to yourself. Nobody cares , what defines a great footballing nation isn't its ranking but how much silverware they brought home ... get it ? "Brought home"
Delusional thinking 😅
Except in 96, that England team was something special, and got a draw out of a very tough talented German side who went on to win the whole Euro 96 tournament.... thanks to perennial loser Gareth Southgate missing a penalty
England created football to watch other countries win, Thank you England!!
😂😅
England have done the first industrial revolution to watch USA and China becoming more industrialised than them
England created the Premier League so that the entire world can watch it instead of watching their own country's league. Thank you, England! It's coming home!
The best league is the one that produces the most successful teams in UCL and Europa Legue. That league is La Liga. And then you see how they have translated that into a World Cup and 4 Euros. But english media will never admit this.
💯
look at the tv rights. Aside from Varca and Vardrid (you can also exclude both Varchester clubs, LiVarpool, and Varsenal).
BEST LEAGUE DOESNT MEAN MOST PRODUCE AND SUCESSFUL, ITS FOOTBALL DUH. BEST LEAGUE IS MOST ENTERTAINMENT AND ITS PREMIER LEAGUE.
Who are the players in Spaim at the same level as Harry Kane, Bellingha and Foden.....
It's been clear to see that referees or poor officiating when it comes to la liga teams has partially aided in that one sided dominance so not really a point towards that claim
Sam Allardyce said it few days ago: England may have [on of] the best league in world, but *75% is imported* talent. England does not develop players as it used to, it just imports those. Then they go and play for their own countries.
Allardyce is totally wrong. The quality of English players (at an international level) has constantly encreased during the last two decades alongside with the import of foreign players and managers. As an Italian fan I can say that the few English internationals i've been watching for serie A teams (the equivalent of nowadays EPL from the late 80s to the early 2000s), none of them could really make the difference into a technically and tactically evolved contest even if some were more than good for English standars back then. I'm referring to people like Paul Ince, David Platt, Gazza, Elliot, Mark Hateley an so on. In the present era you have Keane and Bellingham in the starting eleven of Bayern and Real, at least 5/6 more who could play in each of the top 10/15 clubs of Europe and tons of youngster coming up year by year. I'd like toask Mr. Allardyce when it has ever happeaned in England's football history.
the problem is no English players succeed anywhere other than in england Bellingham is the first in a long time and to be honest vini jr is still superior to him
@@agustowelch1216bro Vini and Jude play complete different positions. It’s like me saying Ronaldo so much better than Zidane. wtf?
The reason they haven't won a trophy in most people's lifetime is because they're not good enough. Yet arrogantly believe they are. And the premiership deceives you because the English players have the assists of all the foreign players. There's a reason why the likes of Italy, Spain and Germany have won multiple tournaments because they are just better.
they are not just better. they hire better managers. england really shouldve beat italy in 2021
@@circle2867 even when England tried to employ other successful managers and with their golden generation still couldn't win anything. They lost last again against Italy just like every other time England have faced Italy in either Euros or the World Cup. Sadly England just aren't ever good enough. There's a reason why Italy have six trophies to England's one and unfortunately It's not even close. The same as why Spain and Germany have also won multiple tournaments.
@@BearRava fair enough. i think the england squad of 2021 and the one now should've at least won one euro. the tactics under southgate always cost them imo. in the world cup 2018, in the final 2021 and 2024. i dont think even a championship club would take southgate. the last time they hired a "big" name was well over a decade ago
Nope not that at all, the only reason they haven't won a trophy since 66 is because they are incapable of controlling matches against teams ranked in the top 10 in the knockout stages and this is the "only" reason why.
@@circle2867 Italy was the better team in 2021. 30 games unbeaten, but sure, England should've won against that
The only golden generation we had was 1966, U have to put gold to be a golden generation
That's not what "golden generation" means.
Can they really be put on that high a pedestal though? Euro '68, lost to previous two tournament absentee Yugoslavia in the semi-finals. '70 World Cup, blew a 2-0 lead against West Germany in the quarter-finals after iffy subs.
@@azapro911Yugoslavia still had one of the best teams in Europe while the country still existed. Besides, that was when the Euros only had four teams. The only team at Euro '68 to be involved in the previous one was the Soviet Union. To qualify for Euro '68, England had to beat Spain, the defending champions, which they did over the course of two legs.
As for the West Germany game, a 2-0 lead is nothing in football. They were both good teams. It was just that one got unlucky in the end. It happens.
Although not English myself i have 2 main points to say
1 : The managers of the England National Team always no matter the year/tournament always pick wrong players for some reason , you telling me that guys like Peter Crouch and Jamie Vardy who have insane stats for England dont start all games to get accustomed with the others but you let someone like Kane (2024 euro) stay upfront who distrubs the balance of the team when Wattkins and Toney are in the form of their lives , Vardy especially in his time had the best stats out of everyone for England and only ever started 3 matches
2 : Mentality , i dont want to hear about the players diffrences the Greek 04 team at club level used to routinely brawl each other week in week out in way harsher enviroments for clubs with a lot more animosity between each other and at the Euros and in the NT they were like a family and this seals the deal for me , if you are not willing to be 100% with your teammates because of others things at club level then you simply dont want to win enough and no matter what else is happening you dont have the right to complain because that is the first cardinal sin of football.
I am totally English and I agree 100% with you.
The problem is that there are always better teams than them. They think that they're the best but nothing can be further from the truth.
Who thinks we're the best ??? Every England fan said we were playing shit the entire tournament. The It's Coming Home song is literally just taking the piss
@@hunterhorsehelmsley7315 because they were playing shit but before the tournament everyone was saying England are best
@@Knight_clause England objectively have a better squad than most teams in Europe. Other than France and Portugal (who also played pretty badly) England have a better squad than most teams in this tournament.
@@Fontaneish see that's the problem 🤣🤣☠️☠️ you think you are the best but in reality you really aren't
@@Knight_clause squad wise we have one of the best in Europe but tactically we are they worst. Southgate is an awful manager and I'm confident in England having a really good world cup with a new manager. Whether that's Potter, Howe or someone else. We have progressed in tournaments because our big players have bailed Southgate out of jail multiple times. If Southgate had a shit squad, we never would have even made it out of the group.
England been cursed as chokers of soccer trophies the way South Africans are chokers in cricket trophies….
The real problem of England is the fans, period.
Huh? Tf did I do wrong?😂
Also, football skills. ✌️😎
How is it the fans fault? The fans have been screaming for the FA to fire Southgate and get a more tactical, attack minded and daring manager since 2018.
Yeah I know they shouldn't want or believe that there team can win! What loser wants to win?
How did you work that one out? 😂
The problem with England is: i) they always think they have a 'golden generation', when neutral observers don't think much of their players compared to international talent, ii) they always blame the manager when they lose (or the referee, the ball, the pitch, the food, the fans, etc.) but rarely the players, iii) they think that club football success in the Champions League is some proxy to national success, forgetting to mention that these 'English' clubs are packed full of some of the best international players in the planet - i.e. take away the international talent and the club success in European club tournaments would be average at best, iv) the media build the England team up to be the favourites in every Euro/World Cup tournament and they never live up to this because expectations are set too high (again, confusing club-level success - where there are a lot of international players - with presumed national success where one cannot rely on international talent) compared to where the level of quality really is. Remember, in Euro 2024, England was in the easiest group and had by far the easiest path to the Final (playing the weakest countries) and despite this, they struggled and barely got through a lot of matches (penalties vs Switzerland for goodness sakes). Spain, by contrast, was somehow not a tournament favourite, despite being a team packed with natural, young talent, and showed controlled and exciting football throughout the tournament, playing what amounted to three 'Finals' on their path to the real Final - recall that Spain beat Italy (2021 winners) in the group stage, beat Germany (host nation) in the quarter final and beat France (multiple previous Euro winner) in the semi finals, just to get to the Final with England. Also, please don't blam Sven Goran Eriksson. He was an excellent manager and the best in Europe at the time. He had enormous success in Italy and Portugal, so when I hear players saying tactics were not there, this is total nonsense. The players were immature, uneducated, selfish and vain so they couldn't play as a team and they could never concentrate on beating their opponents as they were too busy trying to settle petty scores between themselves.
The same Switzerland that played Italy off the park in the previous round? Show some respect. All the top teams have needed penalties at one time or another. & you're calling England out for WINNING their shoot-out!! You're damned if you do...
@@jackbadger8176 Shootouts are a lottery. Switzerland are an average team. Italy underestimated them. England were the worst team to reach a Euro finals in very many years.
@@klmn2000 Penatly shootouts are no lottery. There are penalty takers with high conversion rates and those with worse ones. There are goalkeepers who often save penatlies and those who almost never do. Shootouts might look like a lottery but they are not. They are just about the finest margins, not luck.
@@Harry-tb8yo It's down to mindset and nerves. That's all. All footballers representing their country have the skill to convert.
@@klmn2000 Mindset and nerves play a role, sure. But how come that some players regularly take penalties for their teams while others do not? How come that Donnaruma saves more penalties than other GK?
The problem is - with all of their young talents - they still play 90s football. Standing around, passing back, hoping for a free kick or corner.
Come on... Southgate might not be perfect, but he took England to 2 consecutive finals... and none can blame him for 60 years of failures.
This problem goes back a lot longer than 2006 lol
This is such a Gen Z video.
at least spain and greece won an international trophy despite their team's rivalry
You're missing the point, again and again. You think that you have a golden generation; you think your team is the best in the world, YOU THINK. While the other teams are figuring out how to win a trophy, you think you already won. And then when you don't win, you make up excuses. Oh, that's the manager. Oh, that's the young player. Oh, that's this and that. The problem is that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and you think that this automatically translates in England being just as good. But you forget that the Premier League is also weak and growing weaker in terms of tactics in favour of mindless (but well paid) spectacle. That price tags are inflated and inflate the value of players, especially english young talents. What England needs is a little less hubris.
This is such embarrassing nonsense that you talk.
So you're telling me that a manager like pep or klopp couldn't have won that final with the English team?
@@tieforest4871 Honestly, no. The spanish team (as well as the French and German team) was better.
@@tieforest4871 Klopp doesn't have the best record in finals to put it mildly. But to be fair even Marcello Lippi, who has an equally bad CL final record, managed to win the biggest final he reached. Klopp's chances of winning the latest Euro finals would have been just slightly higher than Southgate's. Guardiolas chances would have been higher. But these two are typical club team managers and it takes a while for them to fully implement their way of football. The task of a national team manager is very different. They have much fewer opportunities and less time to implement their ideas. Klopp and Guardiola buid their teams to fit their playstyle. They represent a dogmatic or idealistic type of manager. Carlo Ancelotti would be a much better fit for any national team because his approach is pragmatic. Of course he has a preferred playstyle but that doesn't prevent him from playing for his teams' strengths.
Jamal Musiala definitely made a great decision playing for germany. England dont deserve jude. Look at the entire media now attacking him. Though he wasnt at his best. He literally was never the problem there.
There was 2 reasons Musiala desided to play at Germany:
BREXIT
AND SOUTHGATE IGNORING TO CALL HIM....

@@jenniferwang6367 No, it wasn't. Germany were quarter finalists. England have bettered them in each of the last four tournaments. England only lost to one team in the tournament, and that was Spain. The end.

You’re telling me this Golden Generation would’ve beaten Brazil’s team of R9, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Cafu, Carlos? Or France’s team of Zidane, Henry, Ribery, Thuram, Vieira, Makele? Or Italy’s team of Del Piero, Pirlo, Gatusso, Totti, Cannavaro?
Spain’s midfield on the bench was better than Gerard, Lampard & Scholes. Argentina & Germany have always had better teams than us in any era of the World Cup.
It baffles me that we use a million excuses for being losers but the ONE we’ll never accept is that our players were never good enough.

@@rahadityap2375 What is the point that you are trying to make?
Italy beat them even with Marchisio, Montolivo and old Pirlo in midfield haha. There was no need for Gattuso, Totti or Camoranesi
But your argument makes no sense. It’s perfectly possibly for more than country to have a “golden generation” at the same time.
@@bonglesnodkins329 A generation cannot be golden if they never have a gold medal hanging around their neck for winning something. Also keep in mind that countries like Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany etc. never use the term "golden generation" for any of their teams. Calling one of those teams golden generation wouldn't do justice to the other generations that also won trophies.
Greetings from Germany. This is not a fair report. I'm very sure that England will win several trophies in future. Something went wrong. Splendid photo of the match against Italy, the goalkeeper has left the line too fast.
I compare this all with an illness. A long disease takes time to be cured. England even did not qualifiy for some tournaments, I remember 1974. I watched Scotland against Zaire in Dortmund.
But they are getting better and better, now two times in the final. For me it seems the disease is approaching the end.
I'm elderly, the first time I watched England on TV was in 1958 playing against Brazil (0-0).
I was highly impressed, England was as good as the celebrated world cup winner Brazil.
Surely, 2024, Spain was the better team, but not immensely better. After the match against the Netherlands one could have been optimistic for the penalty shooting.
First Southgate was criticized, reaching the final he became a hero, then one wished that he left. My respect for Southgate, he knew what he had to do,
I'm not discussing the role of the WAGS, but I must admit, all were very beautiful.

It's cuz best players in the league are foreigners like Salah, Son, De bryune, Bernardo silva, Romero, Saliba and Odegaard not English players,
Why is it too hard to understand for the english media
Funny that an English player won both the prem pots and laliga pots. It’s down to the management end of story. Swap the managers around in that final and who lifts the trophy? There’s your answer.
The pots was literally English.
Conveniently leaving out Rice, Saka, Palmer, Foden. Son and Salah haven't been the Prem's best for a few years now.
Delusional take. Kane had 44 goals in 45 games for Bayern. Bellingham won La Liga PotS in his first year at RM. Foden won EPL PotY, and YPotY twice before. Saka won it last year. 5 English players were in the Premier League TotS. Nobody is saying that England should be competing to win because of the quality of the EPL, they are saying that England should be competing to win because the players on the pitch are undisputably good enough to compete with the likes of France, Germany, and Spain if they have a decent manager behind them.
@@bluesEvanskro It's also constantly down to wouda, couda, shouda. Creating "reasons" (aka excuses) that are backed up by nothing. Your point is like saying "let the teams swap jerseys and see who's going to win".
English players pass the ball sideways or backwards..they have been taught to play like this since they were kids..spanish players are taught to take risks play the ball forward be comfortable in tight spaces. English fans think players are good because they can run fast
Yes about the premiers league but
The clubs
Owners
Best players

Not English
Facts
English players are getting way better it’s just they can’t find a manager
THIS! This is exactly the reason why they'll keep losing. England is a country built on the backs of foreigners and yet they'll still act like they are the dogs bollocks. Little Englander mentality is the reason they'll keep crashing out and we'll always love to see it. Go yap about the PL when the owners, players, and managers are all foreign. Only English thing about the PL is the refereeing and it's the only disliked aspect lmao
Because the Epl has had a lot of foreign managers over the last 15 to 20 years, the youth team coaching at club level has started
to produce really good English youth players. And during southgates reign as the England manager, the youth teams have managed
to win 4 european championship and 3 world cups. 2 of those youth tournament have been won by beating spains youth teams
in the final. once in the 2017 u17 world cup and once in the 2023 u21 euro's. So theres nothing wrong with the youth system
they actually produce some fantastic players, the problem is the senior team manager.
@@err4071 lol who do you think manages those youth teams at a club level? STILL FOREIGN MANAGERS! You keep saying "it's coming home" but what home? What is England's brand of football? What have they contributed to the game besides some rules over 150 years ago which have changed time and time again? Where was England when the Central Europeans were reforming the sport in the 50s? When the Dutch created Total Football in the 70s? When the French were producing players with the flair of Zidane? When the Italians were bringing defenders out of this world? When the Germans were fielding battle-hardened ultra cynical and efficient squads? When the Spanish were introducing tiki taka? Nah mate, no youth players are going to save you. You need to humble up, acknowledge that you are the actual bottom of the "big teams" and start from there. From there you can start by managerial consistency at the youth level with a consistant and tailored to English football style of play. The FA also needs to incentivize new coaches to come to the fray and get UEFA licenses. Just look at a video from the Athletic about the staggering differences between German and English coaches. There are tons and I mean TONS of issues to solve here.
Well, it is a mixture of many things. Spanish football was in a similar position a few decades ago; when LaLiga was the "Star's League". We were the best league, but the national team always failed. Spanish players were not used to be the main protagonist of the teams; formation was not the keystone of every team; we were the richest ones; so, it was unnecessary to seize and develop a really strong tactician and player formation system. We did not export players on that time; so, our players were less competitive and able to adapt to different kinds of styles.
In addition, Spanish football started a formative revolution during the 90s (not just in La Masia). On national team and club level. Less physicality and more understanding of the game and technical training. This kind of making things started on England just a decade ago.
When the economic crisis arrived to LaLiga, we were forced to seize our football schools, export players and harvest the previous job done by national football federation. It took decades. That's similar in countries like France or Portugal, where there's a huge national football formation network (very young taleted players like Mbappe or Tchouameni were selected to be trained on national team academy when they were youngsters searching for a team).
English football was very coarse and isolated of the ultimate football revolutions until premier league (mainly the Sacchi and Cruyff innovations), further more after the europe's ban from competitions in 1985, and started to be important and modernized on the late 2000s. You began to implement football formation like in Spain or France even lately. Now you have started to produce modern players instead of English players; but there's a lack of modern national coaches with its own ideas. It will take time cause you need coaches that experienced and developed modern football mentality instead of the old English one.
At the end, modern English football is still in its infancy; like I said, just a few years ago Premier League wasn't even as professional as other leagues; first Spanish players that arrived to PR talked about the lack of structure and method inside clubs during 2000s. I even remember Malouda talking about the lack of the minimum tactical knowledge of English players when he arrived to Chelsea. Players like Phoden, Bellingham, Grealish or Saka are starting to show how can be national english football in a few years. You are doing well, but takes time!
Bingo, much better than the video or many other comments: It's systemic and takes time and finally there has to be a tactical coach and manager-system in place at national level also... which is the main reason England under Southgate got to late-stage tournament football before then finally losing, after narrowly almost losing in previous games/rounds.
There's too much sentimentality and emotional noise around football for obvious reasons and these sorts of videos pump out that product. The real reasons are technical and systematic as you describe in other nations' achieving success. Thanks for talking some sense and intelligence.
You smart
@@commentarytalk1446 Exactly! I didn't mention that during all the spanish football development; there was another keystone: a great national school of coaches and a "great coach" that revolutionise the tactics inside the league and "create school". In Spain many coaches and old players felt in love of positional gaming and now, after decades we have a lot of them. In case of Italy, the "strangest" case; many of their success is because Sacchi's revolution; but they are stuck in it and now they have problems to compite.
I hope Premier League will develop english coaches that has learn from foreign coaches experiences; but I don't know why, that's not the case right now; even on national terms; I don't know either why there's no coach that follow Fergie's legacy.
The main problems are the sheer lack of self-awareness, the arrogance, and the lack of humility. Every single time a major tournament rolls around, I have to stop watching British pundits and reading the British media because I can't stand their deluded assumption that England is amongst the best teams in the world. They are not - anyone who has any knowledge of football knows this. At best, England are a second-tier football team. They are NOT at the same level as teams like Spain, Germany, Italy, or France. But the British media would have you believe that they are. Before the recent Euros final against Spain, there were British pundits like Paul Merson claiming that England should "easily" handle Spain! The delusion of these British pundits is off the charts.
RTE is first class.
So much better than BBC
and the likes.
England ARE among the best teams in the world. Top ten, clearly. Top five, maybe. Top three, probably not.
Most English pundits and fans thought Spain were the favourites in the final.
Stop talking shite all your life.
And you've listened to the pundits from every country to compare, yeah?
I blame the media who constantly over-hype our players .
Im not English, but what Ive seen Southgate do is bring TEAM UNITY. Something theyve never had before, from what Ive seen. Which is why they are now competitive with the Very top nations in world football. Ironic Southgate is accused of being tactically naive, having crafted this team of players. Best coach England have ever had since my love of football began...
Team Unity didn't show on the field.......... Team Unity only means they all "support" Southgate no matter what :)
@@jeffbb22sour grapes
A non- football fan could see that English players (and Irish, Scottish, welsh, and some other Northern Europeans) are technically inferior to Latin Europeans and Latin Americans.
I thought I'm the only one who think that Bellingham is overrated.
Good to know that there are still football fans with basic logic / common sense.
Southgate biggest and dumbest mistake was building the team around Bellingham. He doesn't realize that if he want to build a team around 1 player , that player MUST be the leader , the smartest , the most skillful , the most dependable , the most creative , and the most consistent one. Bellingham is not that kind of player , his quality is nowhere near that level.
He's not even reached sami khedira level yet. It's impossible for him to play the role of Zidane or Messi. He will never reach that level.
England is the only team I know that can make it to the final of a major tournament, yet everyone still moans about how we’re so rubbish. Granted, the football was pretty underwhelming for most of the tournament and we were definitely outclassed by a superior Spanish side in the end, but we were still one of only two teams to make it that far. The notion of “we had the easier side of the draw” just displays arrogance and basically says that Switzerland and Netherlands were both rubbish (which they were not). No side is easy when it comes to knockout football. If people just stop expecting that England should deserve to win and just celebrate when the team does well then maybe the pressure this country puts on our players would stop them becoming bottle jobs. Seriously, the England team is damned if it goes out early, damned if it loses in the final and no doubt most people would damn the team even if they did miraculously win.
And to those crying about how England plays “boring” football, well we still made it further than everyone else but Spain, so maybe your teams should just play a bit better.
With help from ref in semi final against Holland. Never a penalty
let's be serious please, it is objective that in these Europeans (like those of 2021 and the 2018 World Cup), England moved forward thanks to relatively easy groups and draws. Of course, Holland and Switzerland are not scarce, but they are not France, they are not Spain or Germany, they are not Portugal. England ALWAYS loses against strong and renowned teams, and struggles a lot against good or modest teams. The reason for all this is simple: England is not a great national team, it is a good national team, inferior to the greats of world football (Brazil Argentina Germany Italy France Spain), and on the same level as national teams such as Belgium and Holland
@@michaelpower4372England were clearly the better side in that match. And technically it WAS a penalty, although refs often won’t apply the letter of the law for contact fouls in the area that come after the shot has been made.
“Maybe your teams should just play a bit better” is exactly why English fans are delusional. You had one of the most Mickey Mouse runs to the final and still barely beat your opponents. Spain vs Germany or Spain vs France could have easily been the final had the bracket gone the other way. The “boring” football is due to playing to not lose vs playing to win, how can you have less expected goals than Croatia who were bounced after the group stages
That's not true. I'm German and saw my team reaching tournament finals regularly. In some of these tournaments I wondered how they were able to do it with their playstyle. The World Cups 1986 and 2002 come to mind. If they had won the World Cup in those years it wouldn't have felt great for me. Those teams didn't play exciting enough to really enjoy it. Same with Euros 1992. Yes, they reached the final but in the group stage they struggled heavily and got convinvingly beaten by the Netherlands. It would not have felt right if they had won that thing, knowing all too well that they were not the best team in that tournament. Winning something is nice, yes. But how to enjoy that if your team is not a joy to watch?
More than a half of the so called golden generation's players have never been considered legends outside England.
Even in 1966 the third goal by England was fortunate as the ball was not over the line ( computer graphic clearly shows).
A lot of teams goals should not have counted back then how about ENG vs ARG quarter finals game the hand ball goal
The fourth was, though.
England always get handed an easy group
This is the thing England lose and you just get a lot of spiteful people talking absolute nonsense, How can they be overrated It's back to back finals, semifinals, always in the mix, win ratio very high only just got beat with a 83 minute winner goal to call Bellingham overrated when he's 21 years old, to call any of them overrated with how young most of these players are is crazy. The tactics is what's off and the inability to want to run at players and going to the space. This is where the manager has to drill them because they don't play like that in the premier League or wherever they go They shine so to call them overrated It's just spiteful nonsense from people who just love to h8 on English people for some reason It's really weird.. It's like an incompetent inside them.. or even jealousy.. I had people in the comments from places like Poland and Portugal trying to claim somehow they won because Spain won no idiot Spain won Spain alone and they deserved it..
At the end of the day this was a bad tournament all around most teams with great players did nothing would you call it in Mbappe overrated.. I don't remember seeing him in the last two finals but he's still an amazing player..
Look at the bracket. This is why they get to final 2 times in a row.
@@gold9994 okay but that's tournament football.. You're not saying anything we don't know..
And it is what it is. It's not about where you go who you play but where you end up..

@@K.J._xMx_MMAAgreed the anti English agenda is crazy and a lot of it has nothing to do with the england national team. I think it stems from this idea that the English media overates players and the team which is complete nonsense as the English media have slated England teams religiously and love dragging down players. The overating of players is not uniquely English others do it just as much if not more, remember how xavi Simmons was destined to be the successor of xavi/iniesta dembele the next Messi 😂😂😂. I once even heard germans in 2014 say mario gotze was the new Ronaldo everyone does this but if the English do it, it's arrogance.The demonisation of england fans in particular pises me off if you speak to england fans they're one of the most grounded and least arrogant fan bases about. I saw a Scotland fan on TV say Scotland was gonna win the euros and no-one called him arrogant nor should they its a fan supporting his team as your supposed to. It's as if English fan's and media can't celebrate when the team wins or be hopeful of winning the tournament when that's what football is all about at its core.

@@VeryIntellijent Aaaaw sweetie triggered!😉
Fun fact since 2000 every world champion has won some sort of tournament whether that’s the world cup , euro or copa america , englands the only one who hasant
A Spaniard here. England are getting closer to win. Closer and closer. Undeniable signs: 1) they have reached the last two Euro finals; 2) they have reached the semis and the quarters in the last two World Cups; and, very important, 3) they are now consistently successful in U21, U19 etc... competitions. Those signs (realities) are unprecedented when considered as a whole.
Honestly, I think it is just a question of time, and a little bit (just a bit) of luck. Things to perhaps improve: what did it to us was probably having a large number of players playing abroad (Torres at the time, for starters), although it is not a requirement (see Italy). This may be important because when players go abroad, they usually are signed by NOT leading teams, so they do have to battle against tougher competition almost every week, building in the process a better character, unlike what happens when they belong to, say, Madrid or Barcelona.
Spain are entering their prime so its unlikely that England will win anything
🏴here I think we just need to stop parking the bus, didn’t go well against Croatia or Italy
They have players capable of winning but no managers. There is not a single English manager who won their PL since it has been introduced in the 90s.
What England needs most is a good manager.Also reaching a final is a good achievement for England.All these comments r just showing their hatred for England rather than the national team
England's problem will always be the same: to think they are more than they are, to have no self-criticism, to be dishonourable, to over-talk and underestimate their rivals.
Absolute nonsense. Stick to what you know.

This video is spot on 👌
The pundits of the Uk created all those expectations about the England team
1. Don`t make one man (Southgate) the scapegoat for everything
2. Your league is not the best - it is merely the most expensive one
The EPL hypes these players for marketing their product. The EPL is all about hustle and bustle, aggression and entertainment, which is a big positive for the EPL. International football is about keeping possession, which english players are unable to do. At the end of the day, the english players are not up to international level and this has been proven since 1974!
EPL football is played at 100mph with the ball flying over the midfielders heads most of the time and the other team returns the favour by doing the same the opposite direction
Speed, power and grit. That's typical EPL game. Oh with some meaty tackles to get the crowd pumped😢
It’s just “the Premier League”, not “the EPL”.
The problem with england is the same problem that manchester united has..... And that is mentality too much arrogance not enough humility and worst of all giving into narratives instead of looking at actual performances......
Rio Ferdinand said Carrick as in Michael Carrick not Carragher. Jamie Carragher was an average defender. Carrick was a brilliant passing midfielder, the closest thing England had to a Pirlo and typical England they didn't know what to do with him.
I don't think bonds and friendships correlates to winning. I doubt the likes of Casillias and Ramos were best mates with the likes of Pique, Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta.
The reason we have been perennial losers in my lifetime and the foreseeable future is due to team cohesion and bravery. We have a weird obsession on trying to pigeonhole all our superstars into the team, which always leads to subpar performances due to players being played out of position.
Why was Trippier our left back/Left wing back option over Mitchell, Alfie Doughty and Leif Davies who all had good seasons.
Too many Superstar players who want the ball to feet. No pace or runners in behind to keep are opposition defenders honest.
Good bonds and friendship are not necessary to win things but a good chemistry and teamspirit certainly do not prevent you from winning. Sometimes this gives a team the edge over its opponent. Small things add up. The spanish players from 2008 to 2012 were able to put club rivalries aside when they played in the national team. Del Bosque as their coach did the same. He is a Real Madrid legend as a player and manager but when he took over the Spanish national team the vast majority of players were from Barcelona. It was like Barcelona without Messi and Mascherano but with Casillas and Ramos. Not a bad swap if you ask me. Casillas and Xavi were and are indeed good mates, regardless of the rivalry of their clubs.
How do you know England will never win trophies? Can you see 10, 20, 30 years into the future?
Because it’s been 58 years and no matter how many good players they have they still don’t win anything
Getting to 2 consecutive Euro finals is no mean feat. Southgate's England team is actually pretty good. They look really solid all round, and there are some great talents on the team. They look like they can beat anyone on their day.
Precisely, no. Last few tournaments they won knockout matches against: Colombia, Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Denmark, Senegal, Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands and got knocked out by Croatia, Italy, France and Spain. That is the very opposite of "can beat anyone" and the very definition of "will come unstuck against any good team".
Especially if you face teams on particular on par with you.The fist technically gifted team you face you slump.
Ah, this bs trope about back to back finals. Are you serious, as others have said, what teams has England faced to get there? Jeez, how difficult is it to comprehend that? Sounds like someone winning the lottery twice and bragging what a great businessman he is.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia Lost to Italy on penalties. France score from outside the box following a foul, then Kane balloons a penalty over the bar. Yeah idk, England were genuinely better than France on the day but sometimes the worse team wins (just like how Slovakia should have beat us this year but we got lucky).
The media has built Bellingham up to be the next messiah, and the kid has believed it himself… now that all what the expected from him didn’t pan out like they’d hope… they’re taking back their hype of an average footballer.
Spain's best player was a 16-year old school boy, and they started him. England's best player sat on the bench throughout the tournament... cameo appearances aside. Simple as that. Safegate was NEVER the right man for the job
All the problems with England stem from two issues: overrated players on the one hand and delusional, out-of-touch expectations from the media and fanbase on the other. Regarding the players, individual English players may be very talented, even world class. However to play effectively as a team you need some levels of football intelligence and courage. Both of which are severely lacking in most English players. This lack of intelligence and courage is even reflected in the English managers and even their referees. I don't know if this is a DNA thing but it's very plain to see even tho it's very painful for fans to admit. The biggest irony is they call themselves the 3 lions. Oh please stop insulting lions already.
Mate. Every England fan I spoke to fully expected us to get smashed by the Swiss or the Dutch.
English re risk averse. Compared to Americans which also is anglophone
Agree 💯 there is no spice or flavour with English teams. No tactical nous or much football IQ to understand the ebbs and flow of a game.
This is really silly. Yes England still haven't come away with a trophy and this has gone on for a long time but they are knocking on the door because they are getting deeper into tournaments now more success on penalties compared to the past more success at getting to the latter end of the tournaments. You can't say that the players don't have quality come on. Jude Bellingham winning player award for RM team. Foden being the player for Man city. Yes, they still haven't quite got over the finishing line but with the right coaching and Manager who is tactically better than Southgate and the quality the current team has England can challenge for a trophies in the future. I do feel this is too negative. Saying England will never win trophies, how do you know can you see into the future?? Your basing the past failures on your theory that will affect how things go years into the future. Sport doesn't work like that.
@1:30 "All of these players are considered footballing legends today." Absolutely nobody outside of England thinks these players are footballing legends. Maaaybe Beckham and Gerrard, but winning one Champions League trophy really isn't enough to be considered a legend either.
I think the English view is applied in the video. Every country has its legends and most of them are legends only in that specific country. Only the very exceptional players are considered legends in other countries as well: Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Messi, CR7, R9, Beckenbauer, Charlton, Eusebio...
8:01 tells you everything you need to know about this guys knowledge of this subject.
Well, if you cannot even stop Cucurella (not really Roberto Carlos) what would you expect
Cucurella had a great competition period...always comfortable on the ball...this guy doesnt just overlap...he underlaps...a full back who always wants the ball? puts Trippier and Walker to shame
Let's be honest and clear: in recent competitions, England have reached advanced stages of the tournament (semi-finals and finals) thanks to lucky draws, easy groups and easy draws. The game shown has always been poor, in all competitions from 2018 to today, except for a few moments of brilliance
The only big team they beat in 8 years of Southgate in charge was a out-of-form regressing Germany at competition level. That says everything about how poor of a manager he is with the players he had.
@@catalyst2155 what players does he have? are you really convinced that England is that strong? I am strongly convinced that they are extremely overrated players due to the fact that they play in the Premier League, but that individually they are only good or excellent players and nothing more
and dubious pens......and euro 2021 was practically held in europe
Is Netherlands that bad? But for real thou Im pretty sure this Years England played better than 2016 Portugal
@erre6046 England had the Bundisliga top scorer, Prem player of the season, and of the la liga player of the season. There's no way you can say that the current England roster isn't among the best in the world, if not the best. England's squad was only really rivaled by France and Portugal. Spain weren't favourites in this tournament. England were literally the favourites, even in the continent. England looked at their best when coming from behind. The fact that England even manage to make it to a final is in spite Southgate and thanks to individual brilliance from Saka, Bellingham, Watkins and the like.
Saying English players are overrated is just hindsight. England have always had a great squad, we're a footballing nation after all, it's just that they've been wasted playing shoddy football, scandals and favouritism. It didn't help that the previous England teams were going up against prime World teams like Brazil, Italy, Germany and so on. This England team is unique in that other footballing nations have fallen off. This England team would be winning trophies left and right with a competent manager.

@@PaulvonderHeyden easy draws. Lost to the first quality opposition they faced as usual. Nothing earth shattering
Who did they play this year? As soon as they met a decent opponent, they stumbled. Spain on the other hand had to beat Germany, France and Italy.
To win a tournament, have midfielders who can easily score from behind at any opportunity. Get goalscorers who can score in any direction the ball is coming to them. Get at least a dribbler who knows how to reduce the opponents upfront and good defenders. Have a good teamwork.
I feel it the English media and fan is also responsible in overhyping the situation and leading it to influence in the decisions of manager and pressurized the players as well.
Honestly, as an england fan, There are some england players that do good, kane is kinda good at taking penaltys but its very wrong for him to face hate. Bukayo saka had saved england in the quarter finals with his goal, and now he faces racism just as he did after losing euro 2020. Kobbie mainoo did very well. But the thing is people need to appreciate the players we have, harry kane has to face severe hate because apparently hes a curse, listen no curse exists they dont he just has a hard time trying to score, zlatan didnt win much trophies i dont even know if he won any trophies just awards, Bukayo saka is literally facing racism, there is no space for racism at all it is absolutely wrong. And bellingham is only 21 these players are still young they should not be facing hate its unbelievable we need to grow up and show respect.

That was so dramatic and intense. Better than any England game I've watched.

Spain had an extra day of rest. Even the media pointed it out. Fifa should change the rules.
Dry your eyes
If the "golden generation" were managed by Harry Rednap they would have won the world cup
Bellingham is not overrated. He had a great season at Real Madrid, scored and created lots of goals, and had previously been a revelation at Dortmund. He is one of the best players in the world.
The signs are there that it could be going to his head though, and this is a testing moment for him. He had a poor Euros tournament, showed poor attitude and will either learn from it, or it might start to affect his club form. But you can't call him overrated just yet.
8:00 pretty sure that's Jamie Carragher
But thanks for the interview parts at the beginning. I only knew about Barcelona & real Madrid players having similar issues for the Spanish national team.
i think he said Carragher
Oh I am sorry, yeah you are right of course. Since he was listing "midfielders" I was expecting to hear "Carrick".😅
Don't blame the media, people expect England to play good because they should.
Massive red flag in mentality when players start blaming "media" for putting pressure... I mean, that's what players do, you represent your country, both glory and pressure. If you don't want it, reject the national recruitment

To be honest, England always have a favorable draws. In world cup 2018, Euro 2020 and now presently, they are in the knockout stages facing dark horses all the time instead of the top 5 favorites. What if England was at the other side where France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Belgium waiting for them?
So far England is not impressive at all! They still can't beat the top 5 favorites. They lost to Croatia and Belgium during semifinals of world cup 2018. Then to Italy in the Euro 2020 finals. Then to France in the World Cup 2022 quarter finals. And now Spain in the Euro 2024. They have not shown any good quality playing against the world top 6 teams.

Most of the madrid players who won 4 out of 5 champions leagues weren't Spanish either so it's a mute point most top teams in Europe have very multi national squads

@@jamiemcghin5689 95% means max. 1 foreign player?? It's wrong all the way around. You cannot find an English high class manager! Not even in England they use their own managers if they want to win!

2010 and 2012, England lost to superior sides. That German side was brilliant and won the WC in 2014 and that Italy side was full of stars that won the WC in 2006 and multiple CL winners. There is no shame losing to either. 2014 we had a poor side and were in the group of death with Uruguay and Italy. 2016 was genuine underachievement.
You have to learn to beat the better teams to win those tournaments. England's strategy - not just this year, for over 2 decades - has consisted of beating teams like Slovakia and Ukraine and hoping to avoid the big opposition until very late. It's just that with the expansion of the tournaments, particularly the Euros, those games against France/Spain now come much later than before.
Nice vid
Anyone who thinks Bellingham is overrated has zero clue about football.
Agreed. I think England’s current generation is very talented. We need a manager who trusts them over an unfit Harry Kane. Now Southgate is gone, we need to pray the FA don’t do another 2016 😬
HE IS SHITTY.
There are always other teams that are more talented or cohesive, as mentioned above. For example 2006 was a great England squad but then so were Brazil, France, Italy and Portugal and these teams had cohesion as well.
And anyone who doesn’t, doesn’t know what overrated means
Zero clue about football because they don't like his ability, and can compare him to the best that ever done it. No, football opinions don't work like that. Jude is average when you put him along side the best that played for Madrid. Jude maybe ok for English lads standards. But he can't outshine foreign players. Nobody in the England squad can. English skill is about a generation behind really. When the ball goes to their feet it's like butter 😆 The older players from years ago had better ball control than this current lot. And even the old greats still didn't outshine their foreign counterparts 😂
Zero clue about football is a bad statement. Plenty of footy heads watched plenty of games over the DECADES. We know what we watched and who was shining, who had ball control and who stepped up. English players never have and if it keeps going. Never will. Jude Bellingham 😂 Behave 😆
Too much money in the EPL going into players pockets and not enough going to investment in the grass roots.
As an England fan I think a lot of the ‘fan base’ need to support the team unconditionally and not have such high expectations, unfortunately the media and RUclipsrs like that Rory don’t help. A lot of nations would give everything to qualify for major tournaments and/or make it out the group stages so it has been great to have been able to get to two finals, semifinal and a quarterfinal. We are going to have a tough WC 26 🇺🇸🇲🇽🇨🇦 qualifying group coming up so need to get behind the new manager and team! England may not get to another final let alone win a trophy but true/proper fans will support the new manager and team regardless! 🏴
