Well Gary we had Harry Kane taking corners and next tournament he was scoring from every corner 😂😂😂
Everyone. Literally every single English football supporter looked at the screen in aguish when we saw an England corner. Every single corner that was taken was a waste and we all knew that if Harry Kane was in the box we'd have converted so many more. Anyone can ping a ball onto the penalty spot for a big CB to get his big slab head on it. Literally even I can do that 10/10 times.
Such a bloody waste. You can't tell me that there was a unanimous agreement in the England camp on the decision for Harry Kane to take corners.
I'm not understating it when I say that he was without a shadow of a doubt the WORST player to take a corner. I'd have preferred Joe Hart to take them.
One header against tunisa is hardly every corner..
Adrian 1977 Kearney it is dumb to take away a box threat but you definitely can’t just have “anyone else take it”, you still need a good corner taker. In Rooneys case, he wasn’t the best at headers and he was pretty good at whipping in a corner.
@Adrian 1977 Kearney you're totally right, take into account Van persie and Rooney were more all around players, so they have the ability to take a corner properly and set up the play, though Kare is a pure 9 which make that decision nonsense. England coaches are horrible. The one's in charge of the national team tho
No. Y'all are stupid if you genuinely think it matters which professional footballer takes a corner. Any of them can swing it in. All that matters is that they're not preferred elsewhere.
I can hit the penalty spot every single time, and I can swing it in or out. You telling me i'm better than some professional footballers at taking corners? I'm pretty sure you'd all rather Kyle Walker swing it in than me.
Pretty sure Harry Kane failed to beat the first man a couple of times as well.
Maybe Beckham set the bar too high.
as a icelandic person i was so happy after this game the emotion was unreal
You deserved it you played very well. Shame you seemed to run out of steam in the quarter-final but at least you got there.
Hard work and discipline it was inspiring and that was just the fans!
Luck greenwood wasn’t playing
Fair play mate. England are pretty much giants in the global game. Maybe just outside the biggest teams but a huge nation so that was one massive achievement by your lads.
Ruben Modare ahahahaha lucky Shearer wasn’t playing haha
No idea why England have failed for so long...

No idea...

Gazza had no discipline and was unfit in 1998. That was why Rangers let him go. Sven was OK as the England manager.
I rated this comment so highly until you mentioned John Terry. Have off it, you mug
@@Gsdizzle19 i think everyone can
@football memes But not for England, for Chelsea absolutely
Iceland was a proper team, those players played together from they were children, most played for lesser teams around Europe. As a team they qualified for a major tournament for the first time in Iceland’s history. For the whole, tiny nation of Iceland, that competition was everything. The players understood that however their careers had gone before that, it was a unique opportunity to prove they were real players 🇮🇸
For the pampered stars in England, it was a Monday. 🏴
I don't know why people keep saying Iceland was as much underdog as countries like, for example, Northern Ireland or Austria. Especially for England fans, they felt so much humiliated. Yes England were bigger, better team, but remember Iceland were dominant in qualifiers, and for sure they would pass group stage in Euro cup. Iceland would give a very strong performance either way..
And you are saying like they didn't have star players, they did though, Sigþórsson, Sigurðsson, Guðmundsson to name a few
@@andrenapitupulu9499 Iceland has 300,000 people. England has 50,000,000.
England has always been quite bad (in every sport) despite their population where they usually aren't much better than their tiny Celtic neighbours. The 3 best players ever produced from the British Isles don't come from England.
Tony H
There’s no such thing as the British isles
@@tonyh7994 Doesn't make sense. No direct correlation between population and football team. If a country have 23 stars, then they are a strong team, just it.
@Eryk Zagozda They are looking down on Icelander football team, and that probably will go forever
The reason we lost was because we underestimated Iceland. They had a couple of good players that could do some damage and they were well organized.
Spot on mate. Couldn’t be more right. England had themselves lifting the cup before they got their kit on that night.
Yea I remember watching the game and it was so satisfying for a non England fan because I just remember the commentator saying before the game, “Lets face it, England are going to win” Never go into a game with that sort of mentality or youll get caught out, and thats what happened to England. But they were also really shit
@@PavelDurov21 Lol they didn't have themselves winning the cup, they had themselves beating Iceland though.
Yep exactly. Sometimes it's written in the stars for teams. Happens all the time for the minnows of the FA cup/Carabaro Cup. Iceland done pretty well at that tournament. Not a huge fan of the belief some people had that England should have steamrolled them. Media hype would have most believing that.
Iceland were strong, they dominated in Euro qualifiers, beating Turkey and Netherlands, and they would be 1st if they didn't mess up against Latvia. Also they had like 3 star players...
And guess nobody mentioned that Croatia went to WC final despite ranked 2nd in qualifiers, below Iceland. Well, despite anything, Iceland will always be considered underdog by media, and that's kinda a good strategy maybe
Never heard one man utter so many words and actually say nothing
@DillyDyson007 Add Micah Richards to that list. And Danny Murphy.
Then you've never heard Jose Mourinho
Politicians?
Reid McEvoy disagree there buddy. Jose is a gift to football in that sense. If you’d have said Pep I’d understand.
You mispelt Jurgen klopo
That was when Harry Kane was on corners and free kicks. It was abysmal.
LOL
GGMU FC he’s usual good on free kicks but god why was he on corners😂
This was peak banter era of England - it's nice to see that things look to be trending upwards for them!
Harry kane in net would of topped on how shambolic that world cup campaign was.
I feel like English players have a lot more "hatred" amongst them. They take their rivalry beyond club football that's why they don't have much cohesion when they play for the national team. Look at other Countries like Spain, Barca and Real players hate each other but when it comes to playing for their Country they play together as one.
Good point. England need to do that.
real madrid barca rivalry is the most intense hatred Ive ever seen on a football pitch, i dont think any of the english clubs have the same hatred.
@@MrAlumrocky Clearly they are able to put it aside for Spain, when Barca Madrid hatred was highest from 2008-13 they won 3 major tournaments
Also because basically the whole Spanish team is Madrid / Barca - well it was for when they were good. The players were so used to each orher
@@MrAlumrocky England darbys are much worse
People underestimated Iceland at the time when they were actually a very good side. They beat Holland twice in the Euro 16 qualifiers, held Portugal to a draw in the group stage and when qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, won their group ahead of Croatia who went all the way to the final in Russia. Iceland themselves held Argentina to a draw in the group stage (with Messi missing a penalty).
Was this the game where Harry Kane was taking the corners? Imagine Portugal telling Ronaldo to do the same!
Loooool😂😂😂😂😂
Knowing Ronaldo he'd score direct from them
Ronaldo did take corners at United, used to take them for Portugal, too...
He used to take them 16 years ago when portugal could afford too .
Portugal 2 goal against Netherlands in euro 2004 , Ronaldo assisted the player by taking a corner .
@@DiogoSilva-lf2oc A 19yr old Ronaldo did, just starting out. Massive difference, and irrelevant. Prime Ronaldo is nowhere near the corner flag during a corner. He's at the end of the cross 2.5m up in the air, leaping like a salmon.
Being Icelandic, I can tell you the entire country was ecstatic for weeks after that historical game
English Stacey it worked
I honestly just thought Iceland played well. I didn't feel the need to make excuses.

“England’s failures have been going on for 50 years” 👌😂😂
England’s only problem is the English press, making them look so good and building up pressure on them.
In 2016 the press didn't build england up though. Nor was there any criticism or articles to distract players. Surprisingly the press haven't been an issue for 2016 or 2018. The failure at euro 16 was entirely due to Hodgson and that bumbling overrated clown Harry Kane
WOOOPdoctorFROGhere i don’t know where you were in 2016 then.
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere it was Hodgson's fault no doubt but the press absolutely built England up as well beforehand. They would not shut up about England's 100% record in qualifying even though it was probably the easiest qualifying group I have ever seen.
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Kane is not overrated, you're only saying that cause he was most remembered for his abysmal corner taking
@@martymcfly5528 did they bollocks. Get your head out of the bin. Muppets like Lineker would repeatedly ask his pals the rhetorical nonsense of "does the fact that there's no expectation on this England side mean they might not feels as much pressure". England's atrocious world cup 2014 campaign meant that expectations at the Euro were at an all time low. There was no pressure on that England team and they still bottled it.
The reason players were “dead on their feet” is because they couldn’t retain the possession. They were chasing the ball. Better opposition had better technical midfielders all comfortable on the ball.
Most of the big players in the PL are from abroad .
One if not the greatest night of my life!!😎Inside the stadium was just mental to be a part of
Upload Steve McClaren doing live punditry of the goals on sky sports news. It was as glorious as the actual match.
Because the media basically overhyped the team so much that the players thought all they had to do was turn up media puts to much pressure on England at every tournament same with fans as soon as you lot win one game you swear your the favourites to win it
I don’t think media hype is a reason or an excuse to be losing to Iceland 😂

ST H like half of our fan base nowadays, unfortunately.
Game management, not being able to keep calm and cool heads when chasing the game. All the players seemed to panic and start to think about what the reaction back home would be if they were to lose. Rooney dropping deeper to spray passes about to no-one or into areas Iceland could easily deal with. Really needed a cool head to just get them to play in a humble way, be patient and focus.
A John Terry type player.
English4Football: adding some more meat to the bone as if it were, Ryan Giggs for me put it best when he said, "when I watch England play there seems to be a lack of ability to simply solve problems on the pitch" when the ref blows the whistle. I think he's right. I'm 41 and in my life time the only occasions I can remember England stopping key players from performing is Italy 90 (lucky against Cameroon in the quarters never stopped r.miller with others in that team but) great performance against w.germany no one could have asked anymore; Euro 96 outstanding against the Dutch and kept Germans quite like Berfhoff; sammer etc in semis; France 98 what a performance against Argentina, no one could have asked of any more and then limped into the semis in Russia during a very diluted tournament (i.e no Holland, Italy etc). All other tournaments England have failed miserably at containing marque players, never mind doing the simple things like defending corners properly 😡
4 years later now our squad depth is incredible with more and more young talents impressing everyone in the prem
That sounds very familiar!
Now where have I heard that before.
Tony H I really feel like we can win big in the next 10-15 years I’m sure other national teams are worrying about our excellent youth development
@@M-A_04 Now you're just trolling haha
Tony H I’m actually not and when u said you’ve heard this before, I have no idea what u meant honestly can u explain?
I’m from the US, but a fan of England football. I think the issue starts with the individual player’s obsession over their own club. In a separate interview, I remember Ferdinand and Gerard owning up to the reality that players were sitting at different tables while spending time with the England National team. They spoke about an issue with legitimately building the team chemistry off the pitch. Here in the US, we don’t have that problem because the MLS is already a joke. Players have passion for their club but it’s incomparable to the passion I see players have in England for their own clubs. It’s a double edged sword.
Michael Marando
Michael, as Liverpool fan (from the city) I can honestly say the main issue is fans don’t care as much about their national side as they do their premier league team.
The Premier League and the Champions League are so far ahead of the National game that we don’t care. The players also don’t care. It is a redundant form of football. The quality is dire and as such it is not that important.
Also.....players play 70 game seasons, they play qualifiers they always win, they arrive at the tournaments and are exhausted. We play more than any European league.
@@davecrawley4634 this couldn't be any further from the truth, when the national team plays, man U fans and Man city fans stand side by side, liverpool and everton fans have pints together, bro even millwall fans become better people fro that brief 90 mins before reverting back to there primative ways... No the problem is with squad chemistry , incorrect positioning and every one putting the hopes of the sides victories into individuals as appose to the team, the fans come together so now all thats left is for the team to come together........ And for harry kane not to take corners...... or for us to never play 5 at the back......or for lingard to get just one measely assist
TH3MAGE Gaming what a load of shite
Liverpool and Everton fans are proud of the fact we are not English, we are scouse. As to United and City fans....I’m from Liverpool and worked in Manchester for 9 years, you are talking utter spunk.

@@davecrawley4634 You are English though, ya dafty 🤣
Iceland channelled the spirit of Greece that night. Didn't exactly play exciting confrontational football but they we're extremely disciplined, worked like team and had each others backs and also had luck on their side because our keeper had paper hands.
As a Liverpool fan, I saw first hand how inept Hodgson was. He led us to consecutive defeats at Anfield against Blackpool and Northampton Town. Then later gets rewarded with the England job.
As soon as he was appointed, I thought : Oh! Dear. This will NOT end well.
He got the England job on the backing of what he did at West Brom actually lol
Short sighted comment. He was important to the development of St George's Park. They wanted somebody internationally qualified. He'd done a very good job at West Brom prior to that. It's not a coincidence that Dan Ashworth followed him too. Very talented setup there.
@@Symmetryful Short sighted comment. If anyone thinks doing "a very good job at West Brom" is prime reason to get the England job then THAT is the exact problem we have.
Listen again, he lost at Anfield to Northampton and Blackpool then had a go at the fans. I didn't say he got the England job on the back of his Liverpool performances, but at a higher level he was clearly out of his depth. The man had Gerrard and Torres at his disposal but lasted only six months, andafter leading Liverpool to their most embarrassing defeat, he later done the same to England.
@@thehalfeatendoughnut1798 It's not though. I think you could argue on the basis that his playing style wasn't what England wanted but you can't argue he didn't deserve it on the basis that he managed West Brom. Most top managers start out at smaller clubs, even Klopp himself who took a second division German side to the higher reaches of football. The issue is, as I've stated, irrelevant to pitch matters anyway - someone like Redknapp wouldn't be intelligent enough to oversee the development of St George's Park, it should be bluntly stated.
@@Symmetryful But Klopp is a modern day manager with modern ideas. Hodgson is a dinosaur who refused to change and was subsequently outwitted by Iceland.
We are light years behind the best in Europe on and off the pitch. St George's Park should have happened years ago. Money has been flooding into the game for nearly 30 years yet we were still appointing backward looking coaches.
Yes, facilities are a giant step forward, and even a great crop of youngsters, but if you don't get the coaching set up right it's all meaningless. Look what Erikson did to the 'golden generation.' He couldn't even get them eating lunch around the same table.
So good to watch this after we've now made a final
As much as Southgate isnt an amazing manager, look at how fast he changed the team, this loss was such a huge shock it really made a big different in the national team, a wake up call honestly.
That is why that song, 'Southgate, You're The One' became so popular and I think it is that first line which rings so true to fans: "Looking back on when we first met, I cannot escape and I cannot forget".
Although, you should look into what happened behind the scenes of the FA over the last 10 years and you will see that it wasn't quite a quick turn around as it seems. It was actually has been year 6 to 9 of a 10 year plan that Gareth Southgate and Sir Trevor Brooking put together in 2012 and worked out.
Basically they realised the issue was with developing players so went about changing everything at grassroots, academies and youth teams. Then helped change the set up to line him up as the next in line to the throne to be the next England Manager. However, they predicted that their plan would show fruit in 2018/2020. Roy Hodgson resigned 2 years earlier than expected leading to a suspicious chain of events which went off course and then back on course again.

Gary neville angry is actually kinda funny😂😂
The long adverts on these videos really do my head in
2016 it was absolutely hopeless. 2010 was a shambles as well at least 2018 we went deep into the competition ok had an easy route on paper but still got good memories from that red hot summer. bring on the euros
We've got quite a tough group at the euros next summer, having Croatia, Czech republic and then likely Norway/Serbia. It will be much harder than playing against Tunisia and Panama lol. We then may have to face either France/Germany/Portugal in the round of 16 if we win the group. Its gonna be quite tricky tbh, I'm a bit worried about us defensively.

No word of a lie, I had 5 a side the night before this and actually said to my teammates it would be 2-1 Iceland. Bloody wish I'd put a bet on that now.
Tip no 1: always go with your gut!
And here we are after 5 years and Gareth Southgate. This should be a reminder of the amazing work he has done and the respect that should be attached to his name after leading us to 2 Semi finals!

Gary’s face in the thumbnail on this is is perfect 😂😂😂
Puts it into perspective about how bad England's management was in Euro 2016 when 2 years later, we got to a World Cup semi final and then another semi final a year later.
lets hope we don't keep going out in the semis, don't want to turn into an international Manchester United.
Gary always says running out of steam ! It has always been about chemistry!!
Completely agree, just look at England's inability to get the best of Gerrard or get him working in combination with other superstar mid fielders.
Its not failings, its Englerland's natural level where they are now. 1966 was a fluke. Not been to another major final. Look at that compared to Italy, Germany, Argentina - even the likes of the Czechs and Soviets have appeared in more finals.
It also doesn't help your league when 63% of the players in the PL are foreign. Not really helping out your player base.
This aged well.
I was on b wing in HMP Brixton with about 50 men watching a 12 inch box tv, you could of heard a pin drop at the end of the game, I was fuming for weeks couldn't even talk about it got out in the august after 3 years, so wasnt all bad.

Tbf even Kane on corners etc we still should’ve beaten them but just though we could come out in second gear they got two goals from us falling asleep and then shut up shop and England just seemed stunned worst football moment of my life
In the end I think the defeat did England good. We see it as failure, but I see as it learning. Since then England have really improved and we took a serious look at ourselves and got to semi finals of 2018 world cup. It was embarrassing yes, but in my eyes it was a harsh lesson learned and we improved in so many areas since then like taking penalties, winning our opening game and actually playing as a damn team!
Loved seeing Iceland win that game,everyone in Ireland did.
Everyone in Europe enjoyed it, except english people of course
England team had no expectations in 2018 and no pressure from the media, and they got to the semis of the world cup. It can't be a coinkidink.
2018 - Kane not squaring it to Sterling against Croatia
Let’s be honest Sterling would’ve probably miss that shot
@@englenn806 probably, the chance would have been nice tho, not that I’m bitter….still 😬
I clicked on this thinking he was talking about son and lloris
I still can't believe that Portugal won that Euro. Happy for them.
Booo
Of course this gets recommended now 😂
Kane on corners was an issue, but for me the biggest factor, I think was the Iceland crowd, They were formidable, I think a lot of our players bricked it because of them, the unison chant was quite potent, and unusual, it should not phase pro's but, i must admit you could feel it, felt more like a pre battle dark ages kind of deal, powerful and I watched it on TV lmao
Why cant Englanders just accept that they got outplayed by tactics, energy and passion?
That was one of the most hilarious moments in football 🤣got schooled by a bunch of part time footballers they really thought they’d win it lol
I can tell u what happened Gary. Yous overlooked Iceland and thought yous would sail to the next round. Joe Hart ranting in the in the tunnel "ITS OUR NIGHT" was the cherry on the cake. Iceland, a team of fishermen showed how the world how you represent your country!
It's very simple, not enough British players play football abroad. We keep saying the EPL is the best in the world, it isn't.
Zero confidence on the pitch. Whenever playing for England confidence goes out the window and fear comes in. Easy to see.
Kane on corners and free-kicks, Wilshere not kicked a ball all season, Hart was full of errors, Rooney played CM even though he wasn't a CM.
Iceland's first goal was a routine set-piece they used in a previous game v Austria, so England knew about it. Yet, they messed that up as well putting Rooney on the tallest player.
So many errors, but the squad selection was the biggest error by Roy Hodgson. How Harry Redknapp didn't get the job at the time was the real question. Still, roll on 2021!
Remember this vividly
miss when England were this bad too funny
Still an overrated team. Don't look at result of last WC because that easy route to next rounds will not happen everytime
Still overrated af
We will get there again, dont worry
I love how england live rent free in everyone's heads
lmao they are still bad, 2018 was pure luck, they defeated Panama and Tunisia (last minute penalty lol) and then won against colombia on penalties and Sweden....they face two good teams, they lost 3 times (Belgium x2, Croatia)
They cant compare to France, Spain, Germany
G Neville hit the nail in the head. The England players always look leggy when they come to summer tournaments. We have improved immensely and 2018 World Cup proved that but even then thru that tournament we were getting very tired.
England players are mentally weak. They can't handle the pressure and expectation of playing for England in big games. The 2nd half against Iceland was the epitome of this, they collapsed mentally. Couldn't even make basic 10 yard passes. All they were thinking about were the headlines when they got home.
England literally haven't beaten a noted side in a knockout game since 1996 lol. And that was when we had home advantage. Argentina, Brazil, Italy (twice), Portugal (twice), Germany, Croatia, Uruguay. 0 for 9 in knockout games against quality opposition. Any many wouldn't even include Croatia in that.
Gary is like that guy that's trying to tell a story and Jamie is like his kid brother trying to but in certain places...shhh
My guess is it’s a result of the immense rivalry in the Premier League. The English squad are typically playing against each other week in week out. That must take a huge hit on team moral/ chemistry.
We can’t forget that the entire squad essentially plays in the same league. Most other foreign sides have teams comprised of players from several different leagues and are therefore not playing against each other every week.
More English players should consider playing abroad (and not just the young talent such as Sancho).
Why did Germany win the 2014 World Cup? The majority of their team played for Bayern. Those that didn’t played abroad.
France won the 2018 World Cup. Their side had players from the Spanish, English, German and Italian leagues.
I’m not saying this is the only reason teams do well or do not. But it’s MUST be a huge contributing factor.
England will never win big tournaments again. Other teams are in the rebuilding phase now so soon those players will be making spain, France, Germany etc great again. England have had their chances last 2 tournaments now.
When will his third eye open 😂
Not soon,it's too heavily calcified.
there was a guy is school who was essentially a bully. He would cut people down by what they wore or how they looked to the point they almost broke down. One guy had had enough and took him out, outside the chip shop at lunchtime with three swift, unexpected punches. He had underestimated his victim and over-estimated his confidence, or arrogance. Neville has just said it. For two years England were 'pretty good, beat Germany, done well against Holland and France. We were really confident'. So, who was Iceland? Never underestimate the little guy.
The last 3 England managers have been Southgate, Allardyce and Hodgson. There's the problem. Managers who have average at best careers in the premier League can walk into the national job. Arsene Wenger should've got the job years ago in my opinion.
Currently England XI
GK:Pope
CB:Gomez
CB:Maguire
LB:Chilwell
RB:Trent
CDM:Henderson
CM:Mount
CAM:Foden
RW:Sancho
LW:Sterling
ST:Greenwood
Harry Kane is not good enough to start anymore right now, maybe when form comes back.
@Boring Name im a chelsea fan and i wouldnt even be close with abraham, im just saying not Kane rn. Ings / greenwood and rashford, calvert not so much atm.
@@godsaveenglandfromthebriti2865 Yeah, i take that back from the line up, hes energetic which i feel england plays best with players like that, but id be more than happy switching him for an engine type player.
England have such an amazing squad this up coming World Cup. They better do some damage!!
A midfield three of Dier, Dele and an over-the-hill Rooney was curtains. All three can't control a midfield. We have always had midfield players who can control matches, who are not fashionable, either sat on the bench or not even picked. Instead they go for guys who catch headlines or score a few goals. We have never valued controlling midfield players as high as they do on the continent. Players like Carrick, Scholes were barely ever consistently used properly. In Italy or Spain they would have had 80-100 caps minimum just controlling the matches. In 2016 they had plenty of central midfield players(less fashionable) who could have controlled the matches.
Does Gary Neville ever chill
here is problem with england squad superstardom over hardwork..
Nothing more sweet that watching englishmen devastated spirit after another overhyped team disappoint in a tournament again. Cheers Gary.
2016 retro? Lol
England overhypes their team so much and they disrespected their opponents several times. Funny to watch as an outsider
2004 and 2006? He's talking like England 'fell off a cliff' in the semis or a final. That was the 1/4 final (First game after the groups in the euros) and the same, albeit second game after the groups in the world cup.
England have the golden generation like France did 4 years ago, their squad depth was insane... every position had a world class player filling the spot, it’s the same with our squad right now.. whichever way you want to shuffle it, we can beat anybody.
Agree some crazy talented players coming through
England are the Tottenham of International football.
More like West Ham...
To get knocked out by Iceland in 2016 and then get to the semis of a World Cup two years later... big strides. It’s coming home lads
Connor Slatter not to mention coming 3rd in the nations! Bigger things are coming
Stanley Smith Damn right 💪
Roland Deschain keep dreaming pal
Stanley Smith So far his dreams have manifested into fact and yours haven’t.
45HOT5 444HEADZ that’s true. But you can’t deny England have come on leaps and bounds since losing to Iceland and hogdson left. All the haters just hate to see it. Big things are coming.
Now they got greenwood and foden so i think they do just fine
That is the longest Ink pen I have ever seen🤣
That was the only good thing that had happend to me as an Icelandic person
I think many people think 2006 but forget about 2004. After 2002 England was generally seems as the second best team in the world. You can’t convince me that Greece 04 was better than England 04. So unlucky
Everyone always tries to make excuses for England’s failings. Honestly, the only reason we haven’t won anything is simply down to the fact we aren’t good enough. Can pin it on tactics or managers all we want, but if the players aren’t good enough you’ll go nowhere. The ‘golden generation’ had lots of good players, but no great ones, and, ultimately, they make the difference when up against the top sides. The media in this country is a joke; constantly bigging up players and heightening people’s expectations to the point whereby they’re simply unrealistic. At the end of the day, a team of half decent individuals stands no chance of winning a tournament featuring teams comprised of clear world class talent.
The 3 best British players of all time are a Welsh man, a Northern Irish man and a Scot.
England struggle to produce top talent even in other sports.
Tell that to the Greek team that won the Euro 2004. Teams and tactics win, individuals fall. England managers never set a team out with a winning tactic and then picked players to suit that tactic. It was always picking players, then trying to shoe-horn a tactic to fit those individuals. And in part it wasn't the managers' fault, if they didn't pick this star or that star, then the press would villify them when the team had a poor performance. Even at club level, there aren't that many games for everyone to be patient for the manager to bed in a tactic, so it's unrealistic for this to happen at country, where there was even fewer games. So, managers had to hit the first game winning, so they ended up having to pick the best players to win, and win well immediately (probably why we tended to qualify quite well but did bugger all at tournaments). When in fact, the more successful countries gave some time and go with trying to get their team to play with a cohesive tactic.
The Germans- we don`t need great ones(big egos) we need good players who make a great team.....but actually each nation plays football according to its own philosophy, the choice of yours.
Anyone else think this studio is far better than the one they use now for MNF?
I can explain england never do well in tournaments before it even starts they think they are going to win it and when there knocked out it's a shock to themselves and no one else.
No respect for the opponent. When England played us in 1990, 1996 and 2010 the German team was always described as inferior and mediocre. English punditry somehow lives in a parallel world.
96 you're right, England were classed as favourites being as we were at home. But 90 - absolutely not, West Germany were red hot favourites and every pundit and fan thought at best a decent England side had a punchers chance if Gazza carried on playing like he had been. As for 2010 - the entire country considered Capello's team to be utter shit.
Not just in football. In all ways of life. Seafaring drifters proud of their own willful ignorance/ combined with a evangelical/ political religiosity and delusion with a union jack shoved ill their butthole. Some in america too ...missisippi and alabama mainly, the pubic lice infested herpe region of america...they even have a union jack state flag. England has a totally different God, not based in any reality , and he is definately a trickster for the weak jawed jabber mouths.
Who's here after England beat Germany at Euro Wembley
It's coming home 💯
Naw dude.. its gone ta ROME
I can explain what happened. Iceland scored more goals than England. Therefore, Iceland are through and England are knocked out. There. Easy.
Excellent analysis
I disagree with that analysis
@@elite4370 give us your analysis then
Thanks Michael Owen
They totally changed the team from the qualifiers to accommodate Kane and Alli and ended up playing Rooney out of position as a result. Also Hodgson transmits nervousness to the team.
Mate half the team in 2018 weren't in the squad for the qualifiers
Like an X-File who knows what England were doing against Iceland.
Kane or corners 😳😂
I genuinely think the media are very very harsh on the England team. They pile the pressure on them so much and build them up so high to only tear them down if they don't win.
I do not envy any player who plays for the England national team. This is coming from a Scotsman who watches the these guys every week and genuinely wants to see them succeed.
