@@Valhalla88888 They didnt beat Slovenia!! They didnt beat Slovakia within 90 mins; they drew only because of an individual brilliance in the last minute of injury time.
We did the same in every game. Tonight, we played a team capable of getting that second goal. Palmer didn't start 1 game and gordan played about 4 minutes. Crazy.
And we defeated Spain the last time we played in 2018 in the Nations League; 3-2 at their place! but we were more adveturous then and Raheeem Stirling got 2 (and his pace running at defencers is what we missed and scared them to death!) And the irony is Southgate was coach!
Kane is the Captain. If he's carrying an injury, as Captain, it is his duty to be honest and sacrifice for the team. But then again, he shouldn't even be captain. What the hell does he do to motivate the team?
Exactly my thought. It's disgraceful to put your personal ambition above the team. He was asked about injury after the game and wouldn't answer...so there's your answer. Self before Country. Shameful if true.
Kane is a selfish player. He just cares about his goal scoring record, and wanted to get the golden boot. Don't forget he wanted to be subbed in for the Iceland game to take the penalty, for a friendly!
Serbia, Denmark, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Holland, Spain. 2 wins in 90 minutes. 7 goals in 90 minutes. You're having a laugh Jim Proudfoot. The guy has been outcoached in every game.!
The team was never setup right because the team was always compromised from the start with Kane playing. This effected the whole team, Southgate sacrificed the team for the sake of not hurting kanes feelings. Also its no excuse saying they were tired and played lots of games. We have a squad of players and many didnt play. If the players are tired thats down to southgate not using the full squad as he should be.
You lost because your tactics are rubbish, England only play well when they have pace out wide and people running past Kane. England are not good at possession football.
Kane 3 goals in 7 Bellingham 2 in 7 Saka 1 in 7 Foden zero in 7!!! Your blaming kane? I didn't even see any decent service into him in any game, I don't remember him missing chances because he didn't get any? England constantly play back to defence 😂
He didn’t get any because he was ambling around in midfield with balls bouncing off him and losing every header he contested for when he even bother to contest them , he should be ashamed

England was favourites for the euros while Spain was 5th. And Spain dominated possession and looked the far better side in this final. They had to come through the hardest part of the groups while England struggled on the much easier side of the groups. It says it all! 🤷
Olly and Cole were englands best players and they never started a game. When they did come on they made a difference and should have had far more playing time. Spain played as a team whereas England played with eleven individuals.

In Spain we have a saying: "un equipo lo componen hombres y no nombres" or "a team is made out of men, not names"... this Kane obsession has to end... if there are players with the talent of Palmer or Watkins (we were so glad in Spain they did not come on until later in the game), you have got to be adventurous and start them... England won the World Cup in 1966 because Ramsey was not afraid of making controversial decisions (such as fielding Hurst over Greaves)... you have to be adventurous and daring when you are a coach in a major tournament.
Let's not forget we were 30 seconds from going out against Slovakia. Wokegate is tactically inept and only got to the final on luck and individual brilliance.
I'm not an England fan but how Stuart Pearce can sit there & honestly say he wants Southgate to remain at the FA as 'head of teams!!' Is beyond me. All Southgate did is hold back the best set of attacking midfielders & strikers I can ever remember them having with his negativity, England were boring as fk to watch & were fortunate with the teams they faced.
Why was Kane playing, why was Palmer or Gordon not playing? I was expecting him to bring Gallagher on as an answer , he is clueless, he's on five million pounds a year , so why would he resign he'll never get anything like that wage anywhere else, so I don't expect him to resign.
Because he put himself before the team and the country. Many players don't see football as a team sport they see it as an individual sport. Kane couldn't handle the thought of the team winning without him scoring a goal and being on the pitch when the final whistle was blown.
Mates FC. But England as a nation is a joke due to nepotism. Everyone getting their underqualified mate a job and then wondering why things don't work.
The geezer on the left making excuses about the english players playing in a lot of big games and somehow are drained. Completely ignoring the fact that the Spanish players are involved in as many key games as the English if not more.
I’m not defending Southgate who has failed to create any discernible pattern of play in multiple tournaments but there is no other league in Europe with the competitiveness and physical intensity of the premier league. It’s no accident that our best performances in a major tournament were in a mid season World Cup in Quatar. It’s probably made worse by the fact that we tend to value athleticism over technique so when the physical sharpness isn’t there the inferior technique is starkly obvious.
@@ianrichards1839 you say you're not defending Southgate but proceed to give excuses for him. I don't think it's about players being more tired than lets say the Spanish. The Spanish players play as many games domestically and in Europe until the very late stages consistently winning European trophies. If we look at this tournament, England when they were behind raised their game and could argue looked physically fitter than the opposition but as soon as England were level, they sat back trying not to lose rather than use the momentum and go for the win and in my opinion that comes from the manager who is cautious. Spain were superior and won every single game due to the clear structure and superb technical ability. England limped to the final with arguably the worst football in the tournament and really Southgate should shoulder the blame and resign.
. I’m absolutely not defending Southgate. His failure in club football speaks for itself. He is the definition of mediocrity and was definitely a significant part of the problem but I’m old enough to know that England’s underperformance relative to the talent available in euro and world cups goes back way before Southgate. Every single foreign player who comes to the premier league comments on the unrivalled physical intensity and that every game is full on. At the top level even a 1% difference in sharpness matters. Do you think every problem has a single cause ? If only life was that simple.
England has world class players managed by a decidedly average manager. The next appointment must be an ambitious attack minded manager who puts the best players in their best positions
@@nickdux551jurgen klopp would be the perfect fit for this current England crop of players but it will never happen. They’ll appoint Eddie Howe probably
We have seen with Deschamps, Southgate, Koeman, Martinez vs Nagelsmann and de la Fuente that the “old” pragmatic style of managing tournaments is dead. Only reason Germany wasn’t in the final is cause they met Spain early on. They would have dog walked everyone on England’s side of the group. It’s moved on now, pragmatic and reactive is not the way anymore.
Yep - it would have been a travesty if England had won just because they had a ridiculously easy draw. Spain, Germany, France and Portugal would all have steamrolled through the draw that England had.
The stone cold fact is we should have AT LEAST 2 trophies now, Gareth Southgate is single handedly responsible for our failure and has been handed easy runs every single time
@@tevildo45if we had a manager instead of a media puppet players like Kane wouldn’t start every game after being awful for years, foden wouldn’t start because it would’ve been identified he’s a system player. Southgate has wasted 4 very high chance trophies.
Spain and Italy were the better the team .....maybe England has to realise that maybe the players are not as good as they may think (no shame in that ).....hence the need of a genius of coach to take them all the way
one final on pens okay you can forgive. But back to back finals and refusing to drop underperforming players all tournament is a different story. He has a good crack now it's time to move on.
England haven't played with a proper left winger for more than 5 minutes in this entire tournament. Tripper covered as best he could as a right back playing left back, then Shaw's done well as a left wing back, but we pretty NEVER had a left winger.
100%, when Rashford wasn't picked they needed to start Gordon. England made it too easy for the opposition defenders, the game was always played in front of them. One or both of Bellingham or Foden should have been dropped. There were too many players in and around that 10 position.
Cucurella was booed by the German fans. Still annoyed with his handball, which he got away with in the Germany Spain quarter final game. Plenty of locals in the stadium! Germans were booing him Adrian! Jesus. Research. It was even mentioned in game play 😂😂 why would England fans have beef with Cucurella? 😂😂 poor, from a so called journalist.
People forget the teams that finish in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place, focusing only on the winners. So, let's stop treating Southgate like he's achieved top honors. It's hard to point to a single England game under his leadership that truly showcased the beauty of football. In fact, the style of play during his tenure often highlights how football shouldn't be played. With the talent in this squad, Southgate should have achieved much more.
@@PapaTube-ep1nk The squad is VERY talented, but has been in the hands of the most hapless manager that could be found. If Southgate was managing Spain they would have looked ordinary too.
Growing up as a kid in England I was born in 1986 we played football on the street everyday day, Me and my mates we all played sat sun league aswell growing up, know the game inside out. l'm 38 now hand on heart, I can honestly say that's some of the worst football I've ever seen. The FA is a joke to give Southgate the job was a slap in the face to everybody who knows football.
He was the safe bet and the FA has prefers the safe bet. Somebody who will not rock the boat. Brian Clough should have been England manager but because he was outspoken he was denied that chance despite his fantastic record as a club manager. Terry Venables was the last "unsafe" bet and despite taking us to the semi-finals and being unlucky not to beat Germany he was got rid of pretty quickly. I know about the Tax thing but honestly most English fans did not care. Better to have a rogue who is good than a nobody who does not upset the FA.
Yeah, that's true. But if you noticed, De la Fuente lined up essentially a B team for that game, possibly pissing the Scots off so much that it led to their first victory over Spain in 40 years. And of course, Spain repaid the favor beating Scotland in Spain at the end of the qualification phase.
They made it to the final because they have talent in every position. But the tactics and coaching didn't live up to the moment. Timidity did them in. 100% Gareth
Don't forget the easy route. Netherlands was the only legitimate opponent England faced all tournament apart from Spain. If they played Germany, France, Portugal or Spain earlier in the knockout rounds they would've been eliminated.
We win For The 4 time🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦. Vamos Espana.why did England NOT pick Rashford.he and bellingham is the only English players who can play in Madrid or Barcelona

Lucked our way there, 45 mins of good football all tournament, leading for 34 mins the entire comp, one shot on target in each euro finals. Under Gareth we are passive, ponderous and absente of structure and attacking ideas. His loyalty to underperforming players and in ability to react in game is a huge issue. Bare minimum with this team is reaching finals, what he has done hasnt been success but the bare minimum.
I listened to talk sport especially cundy he was talking absolute shite. Had to switch off. Callers were calling out all the issues we had and he was saying no get behind england. This is why mate.
At the end of the match again Toney's expression towards Southgate was not happy with his decision in keeping him on the bench when Kane was clearly struggling throughout the entire game. Kane was never a threat and why England were effectively playing with 10 men and explains why Bellingham was knackered, bent over at the waist gasping for air. At 1-1 why not bring on fresh attacking players. Getting to a final is flattery as it hides overhaul tactics and performances
Southgate saying they were tired - might have something to do with the fact that bellingham, foden and saka had to do all the running for Kane. And when we did break Kane couldnt even get in the box.
2 finals is the minimum now! We have a very good structured side, prolly the best to be fair!. We have lethargic players like Kane and Bellingham who have played too much football this season. When Eng beat Spain in the Nations League 3-2 at their place in the last time we played them (and Raheem Stirling scared them to death with his pace - scored 2!) it was how we should have played tonight! The irony is, Southgate was the manager back then! LOL
Now then K K who would have thought I'd bump into you here - I've followed England for donkeys years - I was absolutely fuming with Southgate he should have resigned live on air I for one would have maybe had more respect for him - your right about pace etc Never mind mate we go again in the U S / Mexico Chin Up Lad
No style no mentality no tactical nouse no leadership players look clueless it all stems from a defensive tactically inept clueless manager...his grace has been individual players bailing him out...getting to a final flatters the players and manager the truth is its been a shambles...he starts Kane lets him not do anything then takes him off...lucky draws has masked an inept Southgate who has instilled a tactical clueless confused mindset in to thd players who don't quite know their own style or identity...this shows going behind constantly never bossing games...stark contrast with Spain who have an identity a style a tempo and boss games to win 🦾
Kane: Bundesliga Top Scorer Bellingham: La Liga Top Player Foden: Prem best player Palmer: Best young Prem player Rice & Saka: Arsenal's two best players last season Stones & Walker: Serial winners at Man City TAA: 'One of the best rights backs of his generation' according to Wikipedia Bowen, Gordon & Watkins: Had fantastic seasons at club level etc Pickford: no.2 in the golden glove race last season playing for Everton How is this squad of players not preforming like they do at their clubs!?
What can we say though?! how many times will we say this?. England have world class players no doubt. All of the above names are world class imo they have proved this so far right upto the final. But as in football, the best team does not always win, or wins you trophies. I like the team too i am a England fan. When Southgate took over all those years ago, we had a team that was just been dumped out by Iceland rd16. That spelled the end of Hodgson then Allardyce came over did a game then bumped off. In steps Southgate , things change coz they have; 2018 semis, 2019 semis, then 2021 final lost, 2024 final lost. Where dowe go from here?..Only Southgate knows. we shall see!
You probably don't want to hear this but from a non-English perspective let us dismantle this delusion. For a start when the BBC tells us Southgate has 'revitalised the English team' is almost laughable. In stark contrast to Spain the 'Play off' stages alone the English team has scraped wins against nations with a COMBINED population of just 45mill compared to 60mill in England. None of whom have any pedigree in Footballing terms .. that is the sad reality. When you also consider the 'pool' nos playing the professional game in England, the first class stadiums, training facilities, the money that is poured into the game that attracts some of the best foreign players and coaches the result is still the same ... abject failure. When compared to other recognised 'footballing giants' of similar size ..ie Germany, Italy, Spain nations in Europe alone England is at the bottom. Sorry.
Serbia 1-0 Denmark 1-1 Slovenia 0-0 Slovakia 1-1 90 minutes Swiss - penalties Holland - last minute winner ANY HALF DECENT TEAM WOULD HAVE GOT TO THE FINAL . ❤
It wasn't the England fans booing Cucurella, it was the Germans in the crowd. They felt they should have had a penalty in their quarter-final when he handled the ball.
@@DanielCordone9 Every manager at the tournament would have loved to have had the England squad. If Pickford was the player of the tournament that's on Southgate. He's the luckiest plodder on the planet to be given such a roster and have no freakin' idea what to do with it.
Mate,right there you are wrong,we do NOT have world class players, name me one so called world class player who turned up at this tournament? World class players do the business when needed.
No matter how talented your players are, if you don’t set them up in a balanced way it doesn’t work. Can’t just drop a load of people who have scored goals this season up the top of the pitch and expect it to gel.
One major problem was only using palmer sporadically. He changed the game every time he came on . He's our best player but Southgate strictly remained loyal to foden rice etc.
We must be one of the worst teams around to watch so negative/ boring as the guy said 12 games very poor but somehow nicking results,we all realise the best thing for footballs sake was spain winning the tournament.
Why is no one talking about Pickford just launching the ball forward all night? Southgate said you didn't keep possession well enough. How can you keep possession with your goalkeeper just lumping it to a sole striker with no support?
You know what helps all this frustration? Accepting that you are not one of the top footballing nations. And not singing that its coming home untill you actually brought it home once.
Guy in the white t shirt is actually talking facts and backing everything he says up with facts about having lower xg than Croatia and they went out in the group, criminal honestly.
I think we can agree that the MVP of this tournament were the buttons on Adrians shirts. The solid defense they put up against that attack up the gut and by the gut is the stuff of legends
Southgate has taken the team nowhere from before,hes just had a better selection of players, luck on his side and easier routes to the final.Hes been manager for years yet theres still no clear idea how the team plays or what the best formation is. He was still experimenting with the team in the first few games of the tournament.
First half just sitting back and trying to counter with no speed up front. Kane moved likeva snail. If they started with Gordon and Watkins and Saka up front then maybe. Bellingham, Rice and Palmer/ Foden midfield 3. 4-3--3 was the formation.
I've been saying this for months and I will say it again!! Having Southgate is like having Mr Bean driving for the Ferrari F1 team. No tactical IQ, no box box box & no driving skill, just pure luck and relying on engineering brilliance. Absolute mental!! 🤬🤬🤬. Even Liz Truss can win the World Cup with these current players...Southgate is the luckiest, clueless and Rubbish England manager ever. Everything he achieved is pure luck and relies on individual brilliance!! 🤬🤬
Gordon should have come on for Foden after the leveler. We would have had pace and aggression when needed. Another chance gone by, England will always be the bridesmaid if they don't get aggressive and control. Strongest bench in the tournament potentially yet drastically underutilized

Say hello to the next Man United manager, Ratcliff loves Southgate. Feel sorry for the Man United fans if it does happen.
@kevinferguson530 As an Arsenal fan. I think United signing Southgate would be great.
Gallagher is a Championship player
Because he put himself before the team and the country. Many players don't see football as a team sport they see it as an individual sport. Kane couldn't handle the thought of the team winning without him scoring a goal and being on the pitch when the final whistle was blown.
They all praised England and southgate all tournament espcially proudfoot and durham. no idea both
Durham's praise of Southend before the game was funny 😂
Anthony Gordon played 1 minute whilst the out of form played every game, sums up the mentality of a manager who had no nerve or guile!
Bottled it again because scaregate is reactive not proactive
Football's not coming home !!! It's gone to Spain like a lot of English people who have gone to live there
Your best player Palmer never started a game says it all about Southgate who like the Italian, Croatian and French game got found out yet again
gareth s biggest issue is that he wants to be every players best friend.what foden did and what gordon can do is startling
MSM wants to be everybody in FA best friend, bunch of snowflakes
Mates FC. But England as a nation is a joke due to nepotism. Everyone getting their underqualified mate a job and then wondering why things don't work.
The geezer on the left making excuses about the english players playing in a lot of big games and somehow are drained.
Completely ignoring the fact that the Spanish players are involved in as many key games as the English if not more.
They had about 6 days of training and rest periods. Drained my foot.
True and not a bad schedule of play for £100'000s per week pay 🙂
I’m not defending Southgate who has failed to create any discernible pattern of play in multiple tournaments but there is no other league in Europe with the competitiveness and physical intensity of the premier league. It’s no accident that our best performances in a major tournament were in a mid season World Cup in Quatar. It’s probably made worse by the fact that we tend to value athleticism over technique so when the physical sharpness isn’t there the inferior technique is starkly obvious.
@@ianrichards1839 you say you're not defending Southgate but proceed to give excuses for him.
I don't think it's about players being more tired than lets say the Spanish.
The Spanish players play as many games domestically and in Europe until the very late stages consistently winning European trophies.
If we look at this tournament, England when they were behind raised their game and could argue looked physically fitter than the opposition but as soon as England were level, they sat back trying not to lose rather than use the momentum and go for the win and in my opinion that comes from the manager who is cautious.
Spain were superior and won every single game due to the clear structure and superb technical ability.
England limped to the final with arguably the worst football in the tournament and really Southgate should shoulder the blame and resign.
. I’m absolutely not defending Southgate. His failure in club football speaks for itself. He is the definition of mediocrity and was definitely a significant part of the problem but I’m old enough to know that England’s underperformance relative to the talent available in euro and world cups goes back way before Southgate. Every single foreign player who comes to the premier league comments on the unrivalled physical intensity and that every game is full on. At the top level even a 1% difference in sharpness matters. Do you think every problem has a single cause ? If only life was that simple.
Palmer, our best player who gets 20 minutes per game....sorry Southgate but you must go
And starts kane who has been useless. The man cannot think logically.
Southgate at half time-well done lads its 0-0 we got a clean sheet...Spains manager its 0-0 lads wtf are you doing we should have scored by now
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Clueless manager
England has world class players managed by a decidedly average manager. The next appointment must be an ambitious attack minded manager who puts the best players in their best positions
Like who??
@@nickdux551jurgen klopp would be the perfect fit for this current England crop of players but it will never happen. They’ll appoint Eddie Howe probably
Itl never happen
Graham Potter.
World class ?More like league class.Class players deliver on the big stage.They play for honor.
We have seen with Deschamps, Southgate, Koeman, Martinez vs Nagelsmann and de la Fuente that the “old” pragmatic style of managing tournaments is dead. Only reason Germany wasn’t in the final is cause they met Spain early on. They would have dog walked everyone on England’s side of the group.
It’s moved on now, pragmatic and reactive is not the way anymore.
Yep - it would have been a travesty if England had won just because they had a ridiculously easy draw. Spain, Germany, France and Portugal would all have steamrolled through the draw that England had.
Excellent observation
Is it Stuart? His last game? After you’ve noshed him off for the past 9 years? Should’ve been sacked after the first loss in World Cup. Serial loser.
Pearce sitting there like a 60 year old 10 year old 😂
@@LovelyFullMoon-le4ph😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wokegates luck ran out.
The stone cold fact is we should have AT LEAST 2 trophies now, Gareth Southgate is single handedly responsible for our failure and has been handed easy runs every single time
@@tevildo45if we had a manager instead of a media puppet players like Kane wouldn’t start every game after being awful for years, foden wouldn’t start because it would’ve been identified he’s a system player. Southgate has wasted 4 very high chance trophies.
Spain and Italy were the better the team .....maybe England has to realise that maybe the players are not as good as they may think (no shame in that ).....hence the need of a genius of coach to take them all the way
one final on pens okay you can forgive. But back to back finals and refusing to drop underperforming players all tournament is a different story. He has a good crack now it's time to move on.
Absolute twaddle. England’s players are at best good, at worst average. Walker, Stones, Shaw and Rice? Not that great
2.10 Midfield never quite sorted
England haven't played with a proper left winger for more than 5 minutes in this entire tournament. Tripper covered as best he could as a right back playing left back, then Shaw's done well as a left wing back, but we pretty NEVER had a left winger.
We had a glimpse of what could've been when Gordon played
100%, when Rashford wasn't picked they needed to start Gordon. England made it too easy for the opposition defenders, the game was always played in front of them. One or both of Bellingham or Foden should have been dropped. There were too many players in and around that 10 position.
Rice and Foden did nothing playing in the same team.
Southgate needs to go he is like watching Paint Dry
Cucurella was booed by the German fans. Still annoyed with his handball, which he got away with in the Germany Spain quarter final game. Plenty of locals in the stadium! Germans were booing him Adrian! Jesus. Research. It was even mentioned in game play 😂😂 why would England fans have beef with Cucurella? 😂😂 poor, from a so called journalist.
Cucurella was one of the tourament's best players, hands down.
Poor and typical
Southgate makes far too much money for the bookies for him ever to be sacked.
People forget the teams that finish in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place, focusing only on the winners. So, let's stop treating Southgate like he's achieved top honors. It's hard to point to a single England game under his leadership that truly showcased the beauty of football. In fact, the style of play during his tenure often highlights how football shouldn't be played. With the talent in this squad, Southgate should have achieved much more.
You have just found out this squad is not a talented as you think the final score flattered England lol
@@PapaTube-ep1nk The squad is VERY talented, but has been in the hands of the most hapless manager that could be found. If Southgate was managing Spain they would have looked ordinary too.
He has by England standards, please name one other England manager who has got us to back to back finals.
Spain were worthy winners, But once again England were more worried about not losing the game than winning it.
The best bit about football tournaments is the post mortem debates discussing Englands failures.
Stuart Pearce never seems to age . Klopp for England manager - Pearce , as 2nd in command ; terrifying the hell out of everyone .
He looks half-cut 😂
Lol as if Klopp would manage England when he's german, give it a rest XD
@@bigbowss9817: stranger things have happened. U never know 😅
😂 Pearce? What's scary about him? He has been terrible when involved
How old are you? Or have you just started watching football?? Wtf would a Klopp a German manage England??
Growing up as a kid in England I was born in 1986 we played football on the street everyday day, Me and my mates we all played sat sun league aswell growing up, know the game inside out. l'm 38 now hand on heart, I can honestly say that's some of the worst football I've ever seen. The FA is a joke to give Southgate the job was a slap in the face to everybody who knows football.
Part of the problem is the Saturday and Sunday leagues have disappeared
He was the safe bet and the FA has prefers the safe bet. Somebody who will not rock the boat. Brian Clough should have been England manager but because he was outspoken he was denied that chance despite his fantastic record as a club manager. Terry Venables was the last "unsafe" bet and despite taking us to the semi-finals and being unlucky not to beat Germany he was got rid of pretty quickly. I know about the Tax thing but honestly most English fans did not care. Better to have a rogue who is good than a nobody who does not upset the FA.
It's the manager fault, not the players. The answer is obvious!!!!!
What went wrong is having the wrong manager in charge of a very talented squad. He played the wrong players all through the tournament!
At least Scotland beat Spain in qualifying 2:0!
Correct England need McTominay lol
Yeah, that's true. But if you noticed, De la Fuente lined up essentially a B team for that game, possibly pissing the Scots off so much that it led to their first victory over Spain in 40 years. And of course, Spain repaid the favor beating Scotland in Spain at the end of the qualification phase.
They made it to the final because they have talent in every position. But the tactics and coaching didn't live up to the moment. Timidity did them in. 100% Gareth
Don't forget the easy route. Netherlands was the only legitimate opponent England faced all tournament apart from Spain. If they played Germany, France, Portugal or Spain earlier in the knockout rounds they would've been eliminated.
The manager and the team have no bottle. It's that simple.
We win For The 4 time🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦. Vamos Espana.why did England NOT pick Rashford.he and bellingham is the only English players who can play in Madrid or Barcelona
All that talent,and they play like Sheffield United.Spain's win was a win for beautiful positive football ❤
Wrong pal, they played like Middlesbrough 😊
Jim proudfoot just staring down the camera for 2 solid minutes 😂😑

¡Feliz día! 🤍💙💛
Lucked our way there, 45 mins of good football all tournament, leading for 34 mins the entire comp, one shot on target in each euro finals. Under Gareth we are passive, ponderous and absente of structure and attacking ideas. His loyalty to underperforming players and in ability to react in game is a huge issue. Bare minimum with this team is reaching finals, what he has done hasnt been success but the bare minimum.
UEFA did everything they could to ensure England won the tournament
Bookies won again, like they always do with Southgate.
Relax
Fool
hardly
@@papalegba6796 Bookies always win regardless. My advice is to stop betting on England all together
Phil was misplaced out on the left for the first 4 games. It took only 1 game to see it didn't work.
Adrian had Gareth knighted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the whole of talksport have had more turns than a roundabout, usual English support, absolute gold
I listened to talk sport especially cundy he was talking absolute shite. Had to switch off. Callers were calling out all the issues we had and he was saying no get behind england. This is why mate.
The English FA are already in Germany , go to Klopps house and offer him the earth and don't leave till he agrees to be the next England manager
Southgate is now under more pressure than Adrian Durham's shirt buttons
There's a rumour that Southgate has really got Scottish ancestry and he's off in a corner somewhere sniggering to himself.
Only Scotland have beaten Spain in the last 3 years. In a way Scotland are the actual European Champions 😂😂.
😂😂
At the end of the match again Toney's expression towards Southgate was not happy with his decision in keeping him on the bench when Kane was clearly struggling throughout the entire game. Kane was never a threat and why England were effectively playing with 10 men and explains why Bellingham was knackered, bent over at the waist gasping for air. At 1-1 why not bring on fresh attacking players. Getting to a final is flattery as it hides overhaul tactics and performances
Southgate saying they were tired - might have something to do with the fact that bellingham, foden and saka had to do all the running for Kane. And when we did break Kane couldnt even get in the box.
Stuart pearce is like ' i need more sleep. Need to go bed now'. 😅
England losing in another final. Adrian durham's face. PRICELESS
2 finals is the minimum now! We have a very good structured side, prolly the best to be fair!. We have lethargic players like Kane and Bellingham who have played too much football this season. When Eng beat Spain in the Nations League 3-2 at their place in the last time we played them (and Raheem Stirling scared them to death with his pace - scored 2!) it was how we should have played tonight! The irony is, Southgate was the manager back then! LOL
@@paulmichael9413 Agree. We needed pace to beat Spain. Their defence can be suspect
Now then K K who would have thought I'd bump into you here - I've followed England for donkeys years - I was absolutely fuming with Southgate he should have resigned live on air I for one would have maybe had more respect for him - your right about pace etc
Never mind mate we go again in the U S / Mexico Chin Up Lad
No style no mentality no tactical nouse no leadership players look clueless it all stems from a defensive tactically inept clueless manager...his grace has been individual players bailing him out...getting to a final flatters the players and manager the truth is its been a shambles...he starts Kane lets him not do anything then takes him off...lucky draws has masked an inept Southgate who has instilled a tactical clueless confused mindset in to thd players who don't quite know their own style or identity...this shows going behind constantly never bossing games...stark contrast with Spain who have an identity a style a tempo and boss games to win 🦾
Kane: Bundesliga Top Scorer
Bellingham: La Liga Top Player
Foden: Prem best player
Palmer: Best young Prem player
Rice & Saka: Arsenal's two best players last season
Stones & Walker: Serial winners at Man City
TAA: 'One of the best rights backs of his generation' according to Wikipedia
Bowen, Gordon & Watkins: Had fantastic seasons at club level etc
Pickford: no.2 in the golden glove race last season playing for Everton
How is this squad of players not preforming like they do at their clubs!?
What can we say though?! how many times will we say this?. England have world class players no doubt. All of the above names are world class imo they have proved this so far right upto the final. But as in football, the best team does not always win, or wins you trophies. I like the team too i am a England fan. When Southgate took over all those years ago, we had a team that was just been dumped out by Iceland rd16. That spelled the end of Hodgson then Allardyce came over did a game then bumped off. In steps Southgate , things change coz they have; 2018 semis, 2019 semis, then 2021 final lost, 2024 final lost. Where dowe go from here?..Only Southgate knows. we shall see!
Exactly.
At what point is it on the PLAYERS ?
that last button defended better than England.
Spot on Cole Palmer
Head of team selection? What sort of mickey mouse position is that? He needs to go. Straight out. Fresh start.
I know. Ridiculous.
Needs to go
Wenger or Klopp would take these kids to tge next level, anything less will just be same old, same old. 🫤
Klopp would never except the fa cronies as his boss. Especially when Liverpool were paying him 20 million a year wages.
The English were outclassed, outplayed and out coached!
We reached the final despite Southgate not because of Southgate. Individual talent will never make up for poor team tactics.
Someone previously posted that Southgate would wear a Cycle helmet on an exercise bike. So true.
You probably don't want to hear this but from a non-English perspective let us dismantle this delusion. For a start when the BBC tells us Southgate has 'revitalised the English team' is almost laughable. In stark contrast to Spain the 'Play off' stages alone the English team has scraped wins against nations with a COMBINED population of just 45mill compared to 60mill in England. None of whom have any pedigree in Footballing terms .. that is the sad reality. When you also consider the 'pool' nos playing the professional game in England, the first class stadiums, training facilities, the money that is poured into the game that attracts some of the best foreign players and coaches the result is still the same ... abject failure. When compared to other recognised 'footballing giants' of similar size ..ie Germany, Italy, Spain nations in Europe alone England is at the bottom. Sorry.
Serbia 1-0
Denmark 1-1
Slovenia 0-0
Slovakia 1-1 90 minutes
Swiss - penalties
Holland - last minute winner
ANY HALF DECENT TEAM WOULD HAVE GOT TO THE FINAL . ❤
I think England's abilities were perhaps over-inflated, much like Durham's shirt.
Agree. Bellingham over rated. Palmer looks like the new Rooney or something
It wasn't the England fans booing Cucurella, it was the Germans in the crowd. They felt they should have had a penalty in their quarter-final when he handled the ball.
Taking a group of world class players (?) and making them look ordinary is a skill that few possess, but SLOTHgate has managed to do it.
They're not world class. Jordan Pickford was our player of the tournament
@@DanielCordone9 Every manager at the tournament would have loved to have had the England squad. If Pickford was the player of the tournament that's on Southgate. He's the luckiest plodder on the planet to be given such a roster and have no freakin' idea what to do with it.
Mate,right there you are wrong,we do NOT have world class players, name me one so called world class player who turned up at this tournament? World class players do the business when needed.
@@tonynesbit9673 Ross Barkley is world class, but he wasn't selected
@SylvainMarveaux9 Ross Barkley, surprised he even made a Sunday League team
Legend has it' that bottom button on Durham's shirt popped open straight after this!! Just like England's euro dreams!!! 🇪🇸
Cucurella was being booed by the Germans not the English fans. Get it right Durham.
No matter how talented your players are, if you don’t set them up in a balanced way it doesn’t work. Can’t just drop a load of people who have scored goals this season up the top of the pitch and expect it to gel.
Let’s be real, England did not play any high profile teams in the 2018 World Cup the 2020/21 and 2024 Euros
They did, they beat us!!!
the thing that amazes me most is that Anthong Gordon sat on the bench the whole time, genuine pace, takes players on ,scores goals , what a waste
The manager needs to be changed. Period.
One major problem was only using palmer sporadically. He changed the game every time he came on . He's our best player but Southgate strictly remained loyal to foden rice etc.
We must be one of the worst teams around to watch so negative/ boring as the guy said 12 games very poor but somehow nicking results,we all realise the best thing for footballs sake was spain winning the tournament.
Stuart Pearce sitting there like some bloke you meet on holiday and invite to your house and when you get home, sober, he actually turns up
I can’t believe Stuart Pearce is actually kind of hinting at the door for his best mate Southgate, I never thought I would see the day, Southgate out.
Why is no one talking about Pickford just launching the ball forward all night? Southgate said you didn't keep possession well enough. How can you keep possession with your goalkeeper just lumping it to a sole striker with no support?
Dno what Palmer has to do to get a real go. Guys the best English talent by far.
You know what helps all this frustration? Accepting that you are not one of the top footballing nations. And not singing that its coming home untill you actually brought it home once.
Guy in the white t shirt is actually talking facts and backing everything he says up with facts about having lower xg than Croatia and they went out in the group, criminal honestly.
Sorry but what is xg?
@@MarkWatson-vp1nh it’s a way of saying expected goals google it, Southgate out.
I think we can agree that the MVP of this tournament were the buttons on Adrians shirts. The solid defense they put up against that attack up the gut and by the gut is the stuff of legends
Southgate has taken the team nowhere from before,hes just had a better selection of players, luck on his side and easier routes to the final.Hes been manager for years yet theres still no clear idea how the team plays or what the best formation is. He was still experimenting with the team in the first few games of the tournament.
Great point from Stuart about making changes in that 3rd game. It was a great chance to try different tactics and formations.
First half just sitting back and trying to counter with no speed up front. Kane moved likeva snail. If they started with Gordon and Watkins and Saka up front then maybe. Bellingham, Rice and Palmer/ Foden midfield 3. 4-3--3 was the formation.
I've been saying this for months and I will say it again!! Having Southgate is like having Mr Bean driving for the Ferrari F1 team. No tactical IQ, no box box box & no driving skill, just pure luck and relying on engineering brilliance. Absolute mental!! 🤬🤬🤬. Even Liz Truss can win the World Cup with these current players...Southgate is the luckiest, clueless and Rubbish England manager ever. Everything he achieved is pure luck and relies on individual brilliance!! 🤬🤬
Bellingham couldn’t score against Spain and go back to Real Madrid.
Totally agree. Imagine Klopp in charge of this squad.
Yar, Bellingham, Mainoo and Rice are overrated
@@Petal4822don't rate him
Well said about Southgate the Chocolate Fireguard.
Gordon should have come on for Foden after the leveler. We would have had pace and aggression when needed. Another chance gone by, England will always be the bridesmaid if they don't get aggressive and control. Strongest bench in the tournament potentially yet drastically underutilized
