Her comments about Spain dominating possession even without Rodri sums up English punditry entirely. The reason Rodri dominates in the Prem so thoroughly is because he plays the position in the Spanish style, the way he learned from Spanish coaches in Spanish sides and now in Pep's Spanish system. The fact that the English pundits aren't familiar with Rodri's teammates and his replacement only reflects poorly on the pundits. Whoever else Spain fields will play in the same manner, keeping possession, pressing to regain it when lost, and not giving the English lads the chance to take over possession. And this is why they are a great team, even if the English pundits kept telling us about "man for man England has a better side." The game isn't played man for man, but team v team.
Spain beat Italy, Germany, France and England to win the tournament. They won 7 of 7. They were the best team and the best team deservedly lifted the trophy. End of
Remember english fans booed their team off 3 times in this tournament and they were massively critised across media for being 'shite'. They didn't deserve to win it. Spain beat everyone in their path including better teams than England
I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that Spain were worthy winners. I think a lot of people are just frustrated that no one knows what England might have done with a competent manager. Spain under Southgate would have gone out last week.
@@daleviker5884 same for france toe to toe france had best squad . Although I believe pl is the best league in world (last 15 years) , you overvaluing english players.
This Spanish team is one of the best European champions I remember. Really positive and exciting football while displaying all the tactical awareness and technical finesse from previous years.👏🏻
Due to the dominance of Anglo-American media, the news coverage never mentioned how good Spain was during this whole tournament. From the beginning of the match Spain looked very good and that was a surprise for me.
Southgate was tactically naïve and didn't use his squad well enough. His loyalty to Kane meant we were effectively playing with 10 men all through the competition. Bellingham was running on fumes and was one of the reasons we conceded late on. Regardless, Spain were good value for their win and by far the most entertaining team in the competition.
Exactly what I’ve been saying. Walker was another one who looked a shadow of himself all Euros. With other options at RB it made no sense that he played almost every minute
No they ain't.Most English fans say we won't win anything with Southgate.We have the players to be as good as anyone, but not the coach.Engkands best player is Palmer .The manager used him as a 5 minute sub in every game
England fans are delusional. How they thought a manager they don't rate would get a team that has not played up to it's talent to out play a team that has been the best in the tournament. Getting to the final was a miracle in its self.
Finally, someone who has a damn clue about how well Southgate actually has done in getting us to the final! I never thought we would even get out of our group to be honest, thats how bad I thought we'd be! Imagine how pleased I am that we got to the final and lost to the best team in the tournamant, by only 1 goal!
Why do people still listen to Gary Neville then? He's always wrong and arrogant. Why do Brits keep listening to the same people? Is it the lack of knowing other languages to listen to other pundits?
You know what was the worst thing to watch? How they kicked the ball back almost every time they tried to create something. They teach little kids in academies to take risks, create chances and then you see Walker throwing in from the proximity of the corner flag almost to the halfway line and kicked to Pickford. There was hardly any shot from distance in all games. Like Wayne Gretzky said “You miss 100% shots you don’t take.”
I think that’s a credit to Spain more than England, Spain kept it real tight and it was a chess match, the match was lost in midfield by better players constantly pushing England back and England didn’t have the moments of class to breakthrough, we needed moments of brilliance and a slither of luck and this didn’t happen. We also need to understand the England as a team are not number 1,2 or 3….. Italy, Germany, Spain, France are all better than us and always have been but as a nation we expect results every tournament and it’s an unfair expectation
@@benniji There is no shame in losing to Spain in a final. There is shame comes from almost never playing well during the entire tournament, and Southgate seeming okay with that. England having difficulty against Spain was not a new thing, but the same thing we saw in every English match, regardless of the quality of the opposition. Southgate seemed to want to progress the ball out of the back through the middle, but when the opposition quickly figure out how to clog that channel, there was no coherent Plan B. On the left, Foden was too easily isolated due to lack of supporting overlapping and underlapping runs. Saka was getting little support, too, but due to individual brilliance he managed to beat his marker and zing in 15+ dangerous crosses during the tournament, yet only two connected with an English player -- one was a goal and the other Kane skyed into the stands. So at the close of final England went with Plan D: Pickford giving the ball away with longballs. Again, it is not the result I am criticizing -- obviously this was a very good Spanish side more than worthy of winning the trophy. The frustration is that England did not give it their best shot -- not even close.
Lack of shots from distance is because this English team is too "comfortable" getting outplayed in the middle of the pitch and there was little time/space to make those attempts. That is not a terrible thing, necessarily, because the opposition gets to play their game, too. But it is a headscratcher when England seemed so comfortable getting outplayed in wide areas, too, and there was so little good service in terms of good long crosses from wide spaces. What to do but let Pckford give Spain a throw in or goal kick, right?
@@pinkandypink I agree with you 100% ... and so do the people I've spoken to today. At the time you talk about the pressure was building on the Spain defence, and they were looking edgy. We could feel something was happening. Walker dithered with the throw, and even though Palmer and Saka were asking for the ball, he tossed it to Rice, I think, who passed it back to Pickford, and he, from memory, hoofed it out of play over the Spanish goal line. All the pressure off, Spain had the ball, and away they came, back to our end, mightily relieved.
He wouldn't have played Jack grealish even if he had taken him..feel for guehi..hes been brilliant..kanes injured..shouldn't have played..cole palmer should have been on from the start...Watkins and Gordon also....very negative Southgate...gotta go now...gazzgooner
Absolutely, I've been saying that all through the competition. Southgate needs to be honest and accountable for poor team selection and late substitution policy that only worked occasionally due to luck more than strategy. His and England's luck ran out last night, but Spain were by far the better team and England's performance in the last two games was definitely improving. However, too many weak links in the team: Kane, Foden, Walker and others blew hot and cold - no consistency in performance. Compare that to Spain's approach to tactics, playing style and use of subs.
@@khalidhawadle5412 Well, he worked his little cotton socks off and had a few shots that narrowly missed the target in the earlier rounds. But I agree, he often looked out of his depth. It's a mistake to take someone from a top PL club that hasn't proved himself on the international stage. Foden seemed to be lost because he wasn't getting the service or the space he's used to playing for Man City in the PL.
The Italy loss felt way worse. Spain definitely deserved to win the tournament. We played poorly all tournament and were honestly lucky to reach the final. Spain were confident, never panicked, and got the job done.
@RA-wp6th he didn't have the bottle to drop kane in case we lost, and he was attacked for his decision, but we lost with him, I think his England career is over, if I was next manager forget Kane and bring in the next Gen.
@@dalesmith1275 If Gareth dropped Kane we’d have more chance of winning. And he should have been dropped a long time ago. Even the last few years Ive never liked Kane’s performance in the England team. He has always been that slow runner, that needs a lot of support and doesn’t contribute anything else to the game. He’s great at penalties, but we need to try to win in real time.
He’s such a fool Neville, but Sky allow him to say whatever he wants with no-one allowed to challenge him so he’s at the point where he believes everything he says is fact. He spent the whole build-up to the final talking up Harry Kane as England’s best ever player, the captain who is undroppable, despite his wretched performances in the tournament so far. Half-time in the final and he is demanding Kane be substituted because, shock horror, he’s been dreadful again. The bloke’s a complete charlatan who will never criticise the manager or the tactics, like he wouldn’t Ole at Man Utd.
The "real" final was Spain's game versus Germany. We all know England fell into the easy half of the draw. Check the stats of the Germany Spain game. Spain had ONE Corner and inferior possession
7 straight wins. Most goals scored. Best possession based team in the competition by a country mile. Nobody can deny that Spain were deserving winners. The scoreline flattered England.
@@supercriceto I disagree Williams looks good..he scored a goal that sent England home ND the trophy to Spain. Meanwhile cucurella looks like a 60s latin American revolutionary
@@billyp2516I cant remember that pass m8 he got so little gamre time gordon it is criminal🤣 I would say the best pass was cole palmer to ollie watkins for the winner vs the dutch another player who should of been given more game time for me cole palmer oh well another two years before we have to go through this all over again I suppose anyway 🤣
I swear we played some of our best football of the Southgate era when we played 4-3-3 a few years back (think of the nations league game against Spain where we were winning 3-0 at half time) and now we have some really good options out wide - Saka, Gordon, Palmer, Bowen, Sancho… but we don’t play with wingers anymore and therefore don’t stretch the opposition. So frustrating.
Nice Gareth was not as brave as Sir Alf, who dropped unfit world-class Greaves. Harry, as an impact sub wuda been fine. The Maths Profs sent lots of messages asking for ice cole & Trent to start of be subbed on at 65 mins. Bobby Robson & Sven wasted huge talents of Hoddle & Scholes. Nice Gareth is wasting defence splitting world-class skills of TAA & Palmer. GS is too loyal to Harry & Foden & Saka & Kyle on our right flank & and Pickford, who turned over the ball many times via bad long balls. Capello said to Skys Kaveh Solekal that the main reason we lost to Croatia in 2018 in the Semi. Impact sub Latauro won 3 in a row cups 4 Argentina.
When he was with the national team he didn’t help them play any better either they had Kane take corners at that point in time and he’s the o e they should listen to?😂
Truth is England were dreadful to watch in the tournament. Slow and too defensive. Truth is Southgate made the same poor setup in every game and expected a different result. Truth is we scraped our way through a 2nd rate group and got found out by the first good team we met. Truth is I'd rather watch us getting beaten 5:4 than watch this Southgate football.
1st half against Netherlands is the minimum I would expect and had we played 90 mins like that I'd take a win or a loss. I dont think I have ever seen a team play so badly for 7 straight games and coming from an Everton fan, thats hard to believe :)
Spain played the same line up from start to end. They only changed the line up due to injuries or suspensions. Line up is never an issue. It’s the system that makes any line up work.

This England team were probably the worst team to ever reach a final
Kane can't provide and outlet for a long ball, can't fight with Center backs, cannot run the channel or flanks and drops deep. Southgate is to average to be innovative and go against the status quo with his team selections
Yup. Part of the problem is this English team was able to slouch forward with underperforming play, until they ran smack into a genuinely good team and could not cope. Reminds me of Argentina in WC2014 and WC2018. Weirdly enough, IMNSHO Argentina benefited greatly from losing their first WC2022 against Saudi Arabia because it imposed a useful bit of urgency in them -- forcing them to get used to coming out of their shell and scoring goals in the group stage, so they had some experience playing positive football before the KOs.
@@JW-sl9ml well you can have an opinion and then give another one instead because you think it's what someone wants to hear. That's dishonest and he has an agenda
England's performances during this tournament reminded me of that great chant from Scottish fans a few years ago..."We're shite, but at least we know we're shite".
@@michaelmulhall5007 See, you're talking like Neville now. The second half of the season Cucurella was brilliant, part of the reason we went on a run to end up in Europe. Remove your emotional bias and maybe you'll have an intelligent opinion
I’m in my 50s, remembering when England never got near Semis, never mind finals. It’s all about context, England have done great getting to two Euro finals, unheard of in the 80s and 90s. The better team won, no issues and congratulations to Spain! Let’s look forward now
Llegar a dos finales seguidas es muy complicado...Algo bueno habrá hecho Inglaterra para llegar a ello. Te escribo desde España y tengo la misma edad y muchas veces en campeonatos del mundo o Eurocopa oía la típica frase de jugamos como nunca y perdemos como siempre. Hasta que llegó el día y todo cambió. Con esto quiero decirte que no perdáis la esperanza ya habéis conseguido tener un equipazo y estáis ahí...solo falta pulir algunos detalles para que más pronto que tarde levantéis ese título tan ansiado. Si es verdad que Inglaterra en esta Eurocopa la he visto sufriendo demasiado,pero llegando a una final ahí no hay favoritos,como he dicho antes a Inglaterra le falta saber a qué quiere jugar, aún así cuando empató tuvo el fallo más grande que se puede tener.Ahi tuvo que ser valiente y jugársela en echar el equipo adelante y creerselo un poco más,en ese momento España estaba herida tras meter el gol...y es el momento de intentar hacer sangre. Te puede salir bien o mal,pero yo creo que era lo correcto para que el trofeo hubiera cambiado de dueño. Lo dicho...os deseo suerte para el próximo,tenéis un señor equipazo. Y como dice Alcaraz...los partidos se ganan con cabeza corazón y cojon..... Buen comentario el que has escrito y un buen saber perder con educación. Un saludo.
He is entitled to his opinion…. In hindsight. Everyone can call Gary out for his comments but before the tournament no one thought Marc would play and he has been poor for a while. When they have Alex G no one. Everyone thought he would start
Let's not forget we were 1 minute away from going out to Slovakia in the second round. Every good substitution Southgate has made this tournament was after millions of England fans has been screaming for them to be made about 15 minutes beforehand. Starting Kane in the final was a major mistake. If he's struggling with his mobility, you simply don't play him against the best team. Spain had an extra day of rest ahead of the final and yet Southgate didn't introduce enough fresh legs early enough in the second half.
The truth is, that was some of the worst England performances back-to-back for several games in a row. They pulled out some magic to get to the Final but in reality, you can't rely on that to win every single game. Obviously, hindsight is 20:20 but Rice & maybe Foden should've probably gone off when Mainoo did - they both felt a bit lost without Mainoo's constantly man-marking and positioning. Rice's possession stats are horrific in that match and having 35% possession as a team vs any Spanish side is a death penalty. England are also too reliant on Pickford just banging the ball down the pitch - that's not getting you far when Spain's midfield are some of the most active pressers I've seen, as soon as a dangerous player has the ball, they swarm them without giving up position on the pitch so they can easily win the ball AND break. It was very impressive. England REALLY needed fresh legs to counter it. But the better team won, the best team of the tournament won and the team with the most stand-out players won - so it's nothing to be ashamed about. Magic met reality.
One of the reasons why this brudda was never cut out to be a coach/manager were the comments he made about cucurella before the tournament. How can u make a player analysis like that knowing good and well he was in good form going into the tournament
Playing it back to Pickford from the kick off for him to lump it forward. That’s Sunday league football! That tells you all you need to know about Southgate and his tactics.
@@johnburrows3385 What from your own kick off? Nah it was a training ground rehearsed move that is Sunday league level. Southgate is a triple thick condom man
After watching many videos today, with many guest panelists giving their opinions, I take away that there are two ways to lose a match. One is to lose well and the other is to lose badly. England with all its talent lost very badly. This is what hurts a lot. Southgate’s decisions were appalling.
They weren't that appalling were they, he's the only manager in decades to get us to, not just one, but two finals, so he must be doing something right. Spain were the better team, they have been throughout the tournament and there is no shame in coming second.
@@amandaslade9072 There is no shame in coming in second to this Spanish side, no. But England has been often appalling this tournament, barely squeaking by against teams they should be pushing around. They are worse than the Euro2021 and WC2022 English teams by a wide margin, IMO. Southgate has lucked his way into easy groups and easy KO routes in three successful tournaments. In terms of tough matches, the only difficult teams he prevailed against in FOUR big tournaments has been a pretty good Colombia team (2018), an astoundingly shambolic German team (2021) and a pretty good Netherlands team (2024). That is it. When England meets a good team (Croatia 2018, Italy 2021, France 2022, Spain 2024) they fold. Again, there is no shame in losing to these four teams, but Southgate is conspicuously lacking in having even a single decisive win against an obviously good team.
Some of the decisions on that park were terrible last night. One passage of play summed it up for me...Bellingham won the ball in a defensive position on the left, did some fancy show-boating, passed it way back to Rice, who hoofed it straight back to a Spanish player to start another dangerous move. It wasn't Gareth Southgate doing the showboating and hoofing. These players must surely take responsibility for their own actions.
Nobody should be surprised we got beaten with Southgate in charge. The only surprise really is that we got to the final (because we were on right side of draw). Gareth does indeed have a track record of getting England far into tournaments, but he has a track record of losing against the first good team he comes up against. This won’t change when the FA gives him a 4 year contract later this week.
I agree. All who came before him like: Capello, Ericson, Hodgson won trophy after trophy with England. Then, Southgate came along and messed it all up by taking England to two finals and losing them both. I think he is the worst manager England has ever had. Failed to match the success of his predecessors.
Re-occurring nightmare ? Wasn't this the FIRST EVER time England made a major International final outside home soil? Whole country needs a reality check about how good they actually are.
They’ve made 2 finals back to back. Quarter final and semi final at the last 2 world cups only losing by one goal in both defeats. Really foolish and sounds a bit bitter to suggest they need a reality check with those performances. Assuming you’re from one of the insignificant little Britain countries.
Hoy en España no saldrá el sol. Hoy tras los triunfos de Carlos Alcaraz y la Selección Española de fútbol con las sonrisas de todo el país hay luz de sobra. El sol de vacaciones.
Gary and his fellow pundits need to take a hit on this as well because Southgate clearly listens to them. Everyone kept saying Foden and Saka had to play together and it didn't work, Foden was horrendous and needed to be dropped. Gary kept saying if you play Trent right back it would cost England a knockout game. yet Kyle Walker was a defensive liability, at fault for 4 goals including 2 in the final and didn't offer 10% of what Trent would've going forward. We have such a deep squad and Southgate failed to utilise it, preferring to sick with players that had 6 bad games in a row. Foden, Kane and Walker all needed to be dropped.
No surprises. England took part in all the worst games of the tournament. So much for these big names. And Kane? Tired of hearing what a world class player....blah blah. If his team is the better one and or on top and the oppo defence is suspect he can score. Otherwise he is pretty ordinary.
England survived most of the tournament, but Spain dominated it every step of the way. That's the huge difference that gives Spain silverware while England continues to fall short.
@@Keiron-pw6slFoden, Palmer, Saka, Bellingham, Mainoo, Gordon, Guehi, Rice, Wharton, Rashford, Trent…We are no where near done mate, look at all the young lads were yet to see the best of. We may not win anything, but we will be there and 100% have chances to win a trophy.
Gary mentioned Cole Palmer and the host talked about the Spain midfield. What is it with Cole Palmer? He is class and changed every game when he came on and scored last night. He should’ve been on for the whole second half.
I remember Brian Clough being none too complimentary about the Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski when Poland qualified for the world cup at England's expense at Wembley in 1973...referring to him as a clown...and not backing down...not one of Brian's finest hours! Jan and Poland went on to have a fantastic world cup. I reckon this was all the motivation that Jan needed...maybe the same applied to Marc.
This tournament told me more about the impact of the Spanish and foreign managers on the EPL and growth of those special players that England may have. So asking Southgate to manage them properly to glory, is a bit impossible! Even if Spain brought in their 2nd 11, I think that England would still have struggled. Imagine Rodri off and they still had control.
@@thewomble1509 exactly. I feel that doesn't mean he is mediocre.. just means that to win a major competition like the Euros against teams like Spain that have exceptional individual quality all over the pitch you need top strikers in peak form that can pull goals out of thin air. Been a fan of Linekar and Gascoigne from India. Don't think this kind of hyperbole was ever the norm those days.
well, after 96 German reached 2 finals and 2 semi finals before crowned in 2014. Many great players didn't share the gold: Khan, Ballack, Hamann, Lehmann......You need to touch the line several times before passing it. Veterans such as Kane,Stones,Walker, Trippier, Pckford and Southgate at least brought this team to door, no one would imagine 8 years ago.
England lack of quality was so obvious in this tournament it was not a shock they couldn’t win the title they just got lucky….but against Spain you need more then luck! The fact they couldn’t even keep the ball was glaring
This is how I don’t get how Gary Neville is always on punditry .. he says Southgate was on the same trajectory as the Spanish manager .. the Spanish manager won U19 , U21 European cups won the nations league and won the European cup ….. Southgate got Middlesbrough relegated and managed u21 for a period of time?
Kane is SLOW cant run in behind can’t hold up the ball and has now played 4 finals 0 goals that ain’t my captain mate SHOCKING 👎 Guehi Englands best player
Do you watch Bayern Munich!? Kane needs direct wingers to thrive. I'm not saying we should have taken Rashford but what was the point in Gordon and Bowen!? Why did he never use them!?
Of course it's crushing in the short term, but we've got a group of young quality players who regularly reach the latter stages of tournaments and who are gonna grow with their experiences with their (top) clubs and with the international team etc. That's a positive.
England's lack of cohesion is entirely a product of failed management. there's no excuse for lying about Kane's health, and that's just one of many leadership failures. underplaying palmer and gordon, leaving out grealish, playing Bellingham too far forward, playing foden out of position, not utilizing subs effectively, favoring saka and bellingham, and the bias of favoring a politically correct squad over an effective one. the list goes on. this is what happens when you appoint a politician instead of a leader as manager.
This hurts but admittedly not as much as the last Euros. That was a complete bottle job on home soil against a perfectly beatable Italy side and a golden opportunity thrown away whereas on this occasion Spain were clearly the better side both on the day and over the course of the whole tournament.
I think we all knew we were never going to win. Same conversation every 2 years. You could literally write everything down about England, put it away in a box for 2 years and then bring it back out and read it.
Until England get rid of the mindset of safe no risk game play they will continue to fail. We can all accept losing but it’s the manner in which you go about it.
I’ve said it from the beginning it’s Southgate not the players. We have world of talent just need a right manager to guide us thru right players right games. Palmer Gordon should’ve started toney Watkins should’ve come on way earlier though Toney wasn’t put on
Southgate 100% on him for picking his mates over form. FA won't change it by hiring Potter. They do not play the win. Up to the big players to show some courage and refuse to play if the standard is not to the level of their clubs
Not really bro, you just lose to the first quality side you meet. Southgate has been lucky in avoiding such sides until late in the comps. The luck will run out eventually and it will be a last 16 exit to Spain/France/Portugal/Argentins or Germany (who seem to be getting their act together after 6 horrid years)
@@Bread_Garlichouse like I said I’ve been watching England for 29 Years this is how England do every tournament we face off against nobody teams just to scam our way through the Group stages the first time we face a proper team we get slammed! Fucks me off because we should be having International Friendlies against Big Teams to prepare us for these Tournaments and these moments not have a friendly against some shitty Country for us to slam which gives the team false confidence.

@@TriumphAsh Friendlies are just that, friendlies. They don't count and most top teams play them like they don't count, so they could play France, Spain and Argentina every other week in a friendly and still get beaten in a tournament.
I remember Euro 96, the Italian coach resigned on the spot saying that “ if I don’t win with this group of players, I’m not good enough to manage Italy.” If Mr. Southgate can’t win with this talented footballers, what is he expecting to win next tournament?
I am spanish we were there from 64 to 08 so i fully understand your feelings but for sure at some point this will come to an end and believe me the feeling when you win after so much time (and again u will win soon u have been very close lately) is so much better
England struggled every tournament Southgate has had,despite getting great draws for those tournaments. They were bang average in this euros and were awful to watch. But he'll be offered another contract because the fa are fine with mediocrity.
Spain were better than us and we were lucky to get as far as we did. Consistently starting with Kane in the knockouts meant we were effectively a man down for most of the time. Whether he had an injury or was tired from a long season, whatever it was everybody but Southgate could see he was not at his best.
Why they don't ever think about maybe those English player are massively overrated? Compared to talents across the globe, these English players are actually very mediocre.
He had Bellingham and phoden on the pitch still and Saka didn’t beat one defender the whole tournament and he only subbed mainooo not one person on the pitch was getting behind the Spain defense
I've always thought a good manager is someone, whether at park level, 3rd division etc, who makes the most of his resources to mould them into a team, and this doesn't necessarily mean picking all the' best' players. History shows you get a system in mind and then pick the players to fit that system and not the other way round.
@@rh.m6660 Pickford is in a team filled with Real Madrid, city, and arsenal players; teams who are heavily possession dominant and like to keep the ball but every chance he gets he punts that sht away and squanders possession
@@darren3654 honestly Pickford in the moment he tried to play it close the high pressing of Spain led to several dangerous situation so I wouldn't blame him but the tactical preparation of the team
As Cucurella said: "Thank you Gary for the support!!!
Her comments about Spain dominating possession even without Rodri sums up English punditry entirely. The reason Rodri dominates in the Prem so thoroughly is because he plays the position in the Spanish style, the way he learned from Spanish coaches in Spanish sides and now in Pep's Spanish system.
The fact that the English pundits aren't familiar with Rodri's teammates and his replacement only reflects poorly on the pundits. Whoever else Spain fields will play in the same manner, keeping possession, pressing to regain it when lost, and not giving the English lads the chance to take over possession. And this is why they are a great team, even if the English pundits kept telling us about "man for man England has a better side." The game isn't played man for man, but team v team.

If Harry was carrying an injury, it is so selfish of him to declare himself fit.
Time to move on from Kane now.
he did the same for tottenham. Southgate needed to be stronger to save him from himself. We all know he will never sub himself.
Kane is selfish on the pitch too, he never passes to Palmer because he want to protect his records...
Kate was not injured, he's overweight and unfit.
It's up to Southgate and the coaching staff to sit Kane down. A player will never admit and declare himself unfit. NEVER.
England fans are delusional. How they thought a manager they don't rate would get a team that has not played up to it's talent to out play a team that has been the best in the tournament. Getting to the final was a miracle in its self.

@@kol9382to be fair England isn’t a team that’s really good at playing out from the back and keeping possession vs the best teams
You know what was the worst thing to watch? How they kicked the ball back almost every time they tried to create something. They teach little kids in academies to take risks, create chances and then you see Walker throwing in from the proximity of the corner flag almost to the halfway line and kicked to Pickford. There was hardly any shot from distance in all games. Like Wayne Gretzky said “You miss 100% shots you don’t take.”
I think that’s a credit to Spain more than England, Spain kept it real tight and it was a chess match, the match was lost in midfield by better players constantly pushing England back and England didn’t have the moments of class to breakthrough, we needed moments of brilliance and a slither of luck and this didn’t happen. We also need to understand the England as a team are not number 1,2 or 3….. Italy, Germany, Spain, France are all better than us and always have been but as a nation we expect results every tournament and it’s an unfair expectation
@@benniji There is no shame in losing to Spain in a final. There is shame comes from almost never playing well during the entire tournament, and Southgate seeming okay with that. England having difficulty against Spain was not a new thing, but the same thing we saw in every English match, regardless of the quality of the opposition.
Southgate seemed to want to progress the ball out of the back through the middle, but when the opposition quickly figure out how to clog that channel, there was no coherent Plan B. On the left, Foden was too easily isolated due to lack of supporting overlapping and underlapping runs. Saka was getting little support, too, but due to individual brilliance he managed to beat his marker and zing in 15+ dangerous crosses during the tournament, yet only two connected with an English player -- one was a goal and the other Kane skyed into the stands. So at the close of final England went with Plan D: Pickford giving the ball away with longballs.
Again, it is not the result I am criticizing -- obviously this was a very good Spanish side more than worthy of winning the trophy. The frustration is that England did not give it their best shot -- not even close.
Lack of shots from distance is because this English team is too "comfortable" getting outplayed in the middle of the pitch and there was little time/space to make those attempts. That is not a terrible thing, necessarily, because the opposition gets to play their game, too. But it is a headscratcher when England seemed so comfortable getting outplayed in wide areas, too, and there was so little good service in terms of good long crosses from wide spaces. What to do but let Pckford give Spain a throw in or goal kick, right?
@@pinkandypink I agree with you 100% ... and so do the people I've spoken to today. At the time you talk about the pressure was building on the Spain defence, and they were looking edgy. We could feel something was happening. Walker dithered with the throw, and even though Palmer and Saka were asking for the ball, he tossed it to Rice, I think, who passed it back to Pickford, and he, from memory, hoofed it out of play over the Spanish goal line. All the pressure off, Spain had the ball, and away they came, back to our end, mightily relieved.
I'd like to see Spain's under 16s against our first team then we'll find out how good England really are.
To do the same thing over and over and expect a different result is the definition of insanity.
Well.... You did do the same thing and got a different result.... A loss instead of the previous wins 🤷🏻♂️

Not giving cole palmer more game time and playing kane and foden is part of englands problem
Exactly.
Absolutely, I've been saying that all through the competition. Southgate needs to be honest and accountable for poor team selection and late substitution policy that only worked occasionally due to luck more than strategy. His and England's luck ran out last night, but Spain were by far the better team and England's performance in the last two games was definitely improving. However, too many weak links in the team: Kane, Foden, Walker and others blew hot and cold - no consistency in performance. Compare that to Spain's approach to tactics, playing style and use of subs.
Everyone was giving Foden a handy after he ran with the ball a few times against Netherlands
Foden seems like a lost puppy he shouldn’t play !
@@khalidhawadle5412 Well, he worked his little cotton socks off and had a few shots that narrowly missed the target in the earlier rounds. But I agree, he often looked out of his depth. It's a mistake to take someone from a top PL club that hasn't proved himself on the international stage. Foden seemed to be lost because he wasn't getting the service or the space he's used to playing for Man City in the PL.
The Italy loss felt way worse. Spain definitely deserved to win the tournament. We played poorly all tournament and were honestly lucky to reach the final. Spain were confident, never panicked, and got the job done.
Kane is done, fit or not he couldnt even control the ball, looks like hes turned into lukaku overnight, couldnt control a bag of sand
Yep, he was woeful. At one point the ball came to him in a bit of space just outside the box and he passed it out wide, WTF?
Yet Gareth kept playing him. It’s like Gareth wanted us to lose.
@RA-wp6th he didn't have the bottle to drop kane in case we lost, and he was attacked for his decision, but we lost with him, I think his England career is over, if I was next manager forget Kane and bring in the next Gen.
@@dalesmith1275 If Gareth dropped Kane we’d have more chance of winning. And he should have been dropped a long time ago. Even the last few years Ive never liked Kane’s performance in the England team. He has always been that slow runner, that needs a lot of support and doesn’t contribute anything else to the game. He’s great at penalties, but we need to try to win in real time.
He's not done he just had his best season, he was just injured and Southgate kept playing him
Overhyped "pundit", overhyped media, overhyped players, overhyped team, overhyped everything....period!

Neville talks around the houses. England have been woeful all tournament and were lucky to get anywhere near the final.
Absolutely
+1
He’s such a fool Neville, but Sky allow him to say whatever he wants with no-one allowed to challenge him so he’s at the point where he believes everything he says is fact.
He spent the whole build-up to the final talking up Harry Kane as England’s best ever player, the captain who is undroppable, despite his wretched performances in the tournament so far. Half-time in the final and he is demanding Kane be substituted because, shock horror, he’s been dreadful again.
The bloke’s a complete charlatan who will never criticise the manager or the tactics, like he wouldn’t Ole at Man Utd.

Thank you Spain for saving soccer, from NYC 🇺🇸
Truth is England were dreadful to watch in the tournament. Slow and too defensive.
Truth is Southgate made the same poor setup in every game and expected a different result.
Truth is we scraped our way through a 2nd rate group and got found out by the first good team we met.
Truth is I'd rather watch us getting beaten 5:4 than watch this Southgate football.
netherlands were decent
1st half against Netherlands is the minimum I would expect and had we played 90 mins like that I'd take a win or a loss. I dont think I have ever seen a team play so badly for 7 straight games and coming from an Everton fan, thats hard to believe :)
Harsh, but true!
Spain played the same line up from start to end. They only changed the line up due to injuries or suspensions. Line up is never an issue. It’s the system that makes any line up work.
This England team were probably the worst team to ever reach a final
Everyone said they thought Kane had an injury during his first World Cup in the semi final. It’s just what people always say about Kane.
If Kane wasn't fit be shouldn't be playing. Surely (if that is true) both him and the manager let England down.
Kane can't provide and outlet for a long ball, can't fight with Center backs, cannot run the channel or flanks and drops deep. Southgate is to average to be innovative and go against the status quo with his team selections
Always excuses for him, but what's the point now
His has a permanent brain injury that manifests itself in important matches 🫠
I do personally still love Harry Kane. I feel like he always tries his best even though he didn’t seem to be on top form at times.
England struggled the whole campaign without facing a real challenge in the group stages.They were crap Jesus just say it totally outclassed.
Spot on m8. Some people are so delusional to think England deserved to win 😂
England struggled throughout the euros against weaker teams spain played most of the bigger team and won them all incredible from spain
Yup. Part of the problem is this English team was able to slouch forward with underperforming play, until they ran smack into a genuinely good team and could not cope.
Reminds me of Argentina in WC2014 and WC2018. Weirdly enough, IMNSHO Argentina benefited greatly from losing their first WC2022 against Saudi Arabia because it imposed a useful bit of urgency in them -- forcing them to get used to coming out of their shell and scoring goals in the group stage, so they had some experience playing positive football before the KOs.

@@MRCL-190 with how he ended the season I was sure he was gonna perform... The like of Gary just never have any substance
Let's not forget we were 1 minute away from going out to Slovakia in the second round. Every good substitution Southgate has made this tournament was after millions of England fans has been screaming for them to be made about 15 minutes beforehand. Starting Kane in the final was a major mistake. If he's struggling with his mobility, you simply don't play him against the best team. Spain had an extra day of rest ahead of the final and yet Southgate didn't introduce enough fresh legs early enough in the second half.
The truth is, that was some of the worst England performances back-to-back for several games in a row. They pulled out some magic to get to the Final but in reality, you can't rely on that to win every single game. Obviously, hindsight is 20:20 but Rice & maybe Foden should've probably gone off when Mainoo did - they both felt a bit lost without Mainoo's constantly man-marking and positioning. Rice's possession stats are horrific in that match and having 35% possession as a team vs any Spanish side is a death penalty.
England are also too reliant on Pickford just banging the ball down the pitch - that's not getting you far when Spain's midfield are some of the most active pressers I've seen, as soon as a dangerous player has the ball, they swarm them without giving up position on the pitch so they can easily win the ball AND break. It was very impressive. England REALLY needed fresh legs to counter it.
But the better team won, the best team of the tournament won and the team with the most stand-out players won - so it's nothing to be ashamed about. Magic met reality.
One of the reasons why this brudda was never cut out to be a coach/manager were the comments he made about cucurella before the tournament. How can u make a player analysis like that knowing good and well he was in good form going into the tournament
Playing it back to Pickford from the kick off for him to lump it forward. That’s Sunday league football! That tells you all you need to know about Southgate and his tactics.
They started the same way in the past few games from kick off.
That was because Spain were so good at pressing.
@@johnburrows3385 What from your own kick off? Nah it was a training ground rehearsed move that is Sunday league level. Southgate is a triple thick condom man
❤Amen. And none of these players are accustomed to this. I feel bad for Kane, Foden, Saka, Jude, Rice, and the rest of them.
Southgate plays the game like Sean Dyche
After watching many videos today, with many guest panelists giving their opinions, I take away that there are two ways to lose a match. One is to lose well and the other is to lose badly. England with all its talent lost very badly. This is what hurts a lot. Southgate’s decisions were appalling.
They weren't that appalling were they, he's the only manager in decades to get us to, not just one, but two finals, so he must be doing something right. Spain were the better team, they have been throughout the tournament and there is no shame in coming second.
@@amandaslade9072 There is no shame in coming in second to this Spanish side, no. But England has been often appalling this tournament, barely squeaking by against teams they should be pushing around. They are worse than the Euro2021 and WC2022 English teams by a wide margin, IMO.
Southgate has lucked his way into easy groups and easy KO routes in three successful tournaments. In terms of tough matches, the only difficult teams he prevailed against in FOUR big tournaments has been a pretty good Colombia team (2018), an astoundingly shambolic German team (2021) and a pretty good Netherlands team (2024). That is it. When England meets a good team (Croatia 2018, Italy 2021, France 2022, Spain 2024) they fold. Again, there is no shame in losing to these four teams, but Southgate is conspicuously lacking in having even a single decisive win against an obviously good team.
Some of the decisions on that park were terrible last night. One passage of play summed it up for me...Bellingham won the ball in a defensive position on the left, did some fancy show-boating, passed it way back to Rice, who hoofed it straight back to a Spanish player to start another dangerous move. It wasn't Gareth Southgate doing the showboating and hoofing. These players must surely take responsibility for their own actions.
@@starmersbarber Its easy to look back and criticise. Managers get paid to make decisions during the game.
Generation after generation,manager after manager. England just have never been good enough.
To the older fans, just making a final is unheard of
Nobody should be surprised we got beaten with Southgate in charge. The only surprise really is that we got to the final (because we were on right side of draw).
Gareth does indeed have a track record of getting England far into tournaments, but he has a track record of losing against the first good team he comes up against. This won’t change when the FA gives him a 4 year contract later this week.
I agree. All who came before him like: Capello, Ericson, Hodgson won trophy after trophy with England. Then, Southgate came along and messed it all up by taking England to two finals and losing them both. I think he is the worst manager England has ever had. Failed to match the success of his predecessors.
Its not like England doesn't have any decent replacement for Kane. Why did Gareth continue to start a player who is not fit???
He's fit but slow.

Gary and his fellow pundits need to take a hit on this as well because Southgate clearly listens to them. Everyone kept saying Foden and Saka had to play together and it didn't work, Foden was horrendous and needed to be dropped. Gary kept saying if you play Trent right back it would cost England a knockout game. yet Kyle Walker was a defensive liability, at fault for 4 goals including 2 in the final and didn't offer 10% of what Trent would've going forward. We have such a deep squad and Southgate failed to utilise it, preferring to sick with players that had 6 bad games in a row. Foden, Kane and Walker all needed to be dropped.
No surprises. England took part in all the worst games of the tournament. So much for these big names. And Kane? Tired of hearing what a world class player....blah blah. If his team is the better one and or on top and the oppo defence is suspect he can score. Otherwise he is pretty ordinary.
It's embarrassing watching Kane. Total donkey on the field. Never, ever rated him. Shite at taking penalties if you remember 2021

I remember Brian Clough being none too complimentary about the Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski when Poland qualified for the world cup at England's expense at Wembley in 1973...referring to him as a clown...and not backing down...not one of Brian's finest hours! Jan and Poland went on to have a fantastic world cup. I reckon this was all the motivation that Jan needed...maybe the same applied to Marc.
This tournament told me more about the impact of the Spanish and foreign managers on the EPL and growth of those special players that England may have. So asking Southgate to manage them properly to glory, is a bit impossible!
Even if Spain brought in their 2nd 11, I think that England would still have struggled. Imagine Rodri off and they still had control.

No, they don't. Only Spain can play like Spain.
Gordon would have been a good sub to hand brought on. Spain were a great team, so good.
Of course it's crushing in the short term, but we've got a group of young quality players who regularly reach the latter stages of tournaments and who are gonna grow with their experiences with their (top) clubs and with the international team etc. That's a positive.
England's lack of cohesion is entirely a product of failed management. there's no excuse for lying about Kane's health, and that's just one of many leadership failures. underplaying palmer and gordon, leaving out grealish, playing Bellingham too far forward, playing foden out of position, not utilizing subs effectively, favoring saka and bellingham, and the bias of favoring a politically correct squad over an effective one. the list goes on. this is what happens when you appoint a politician instead of a leader as manager.
This hurts but admittedly not as much as the last Euros. That was a complete bottle job on home soil against a perfectly beatable Italy side and a golden opportunity thrown away whereas on this occasion Spain were clearly the better side both on the day and over the course of the whole tournament.
I think we all knew we were never going to win.
Same conversation every 2 years.
You could literally write everything down about England, put it away in a box for 2 years and then bring it back out and read it.
The issue was not making subs throughout the whole tournament. Saka and Bellingham played every minute and looked like it
Until England get rid of the mindset of safe no risk game play they will continue to fail. We can all accept losing but it’s the manner in which you go about it.
I’ve said it from the beginning it’s Southgate not the players. We have world of talent just need a right manager to guide us thru right players right games. Palmer Gordon should’ve started toney Watkins should’ve come on way earlier though Toney wasn’t put on
Southgate 100% on him for picking his mates over form. FA won't change it by hiring Potter. They do not play the win. Up to the big players to show some courage and refuse to play if the standard is not to the level of their clubs
No one in the media had the balls to say drop Kane until it was too late.
Been Watching England 29 Years and Shock Surprise we choked another Final as always… same old England just a New Generation.
Not really bro, you just lose to the first quality side you meet. Southgate has been lucky in avoiding such sides until late in the comps.
The luck will run out eventually and it will be a last 16 exit to Spain/France/Portugal/Argentins or Germany (who seem to be getting their act together after 6 horrid years)
@@Bread_Garlichouse like I said I’ve been watching England for 29 Years this is how England do every tournament we face off against nobody teams just to scam our way through the Group stages the first time we face a proper team we get slammed!
Fucks me off because we should be having International Friendlies against Big Teams to prepare us for these Tournaments and these moments not have a friendly against some shitty Country for us to slam which gives the team false confidence. England only play good football when it’s against poor countries and even then we can be disappointing to watch. England can’t handle the pressure against Big Countries.
@TriumphAsh we did . Brazil and Belgium.
@@luckyducky7166 Brazil is a nobody team now a days & Belgium are a shadow of their former selves not a chance England beat Prime Brazil or Belgium. Ronaldinho used to Toy with us still remember that free kick from him which lobbed David Seaman
@@TriumphAsh Friendlies are just that, friendlies. They don't count and most top teams play them like they don't count, so they could play France, Spain and Argentina every other week in a friendly and still get beaten in a tournament.
I remember Euro 96, the Italian coach resigned on the spot saying that “ if I don’t win with this group of players, I’m not good enough to manage Italy.” If Mr. Southgate can’t win with this talented footballers, what is he expecting to win next tournament?
Playing jude on the left to accomodate MIA Phil “Plays best at 10” Foden was pretty bad. Jude thrived playing with fast players like vini and rodrygo.
Bellingham is so overrated.
@@broca246 💯
Hyped up no end. Goes missing in the big games
@@Bread_Garlichousethen starts throwing tantrums and theatrics with every dive. Straight from the House of Neymar.
This isn’t fifa mate 👍
@@Bread_Garlichouse I guess El Clasico ain’t a big game 🤷♂️ altho in madrid he doesn’t need to show up bc he has players around him that can step up.
I am spanish we were there from 64 to 08 so i fully understand your feelings but for sure at some point this will come to an end and believe me the feeling when you win after so much time (and again u will win soon u have been very close lately) is so much better
England struggled every tournament Southgate has had,despite getting great draws for those tournaments.
They were bang average in this euros and were awful to watch.
But he'll be offered another contract because the fa are fine with mediocrity.
Spain were better than us and we were lucky to get as far as we did. Consistently starting with Kane in the knockouts meant we were effectively a man down for most of the time. Whether he had an injury or was tired from a long season, whatever it was everybody but Southgate could see he was not at his best.
Why they don't ever think about maybe those English player are massively overrated? Compared to talents across the globe, these English players are actually very mediocre.
Here’s a crazy thought, when players are tired, DONT PLAY THEM. That’s why you have a squad right?! Who would have thought that was an option
The late goals covered over the cracks of poor tactics and formation choices.
Having Jordan Pickford as your best player tells you everything you need to know about our performance
Unforgiveable that Southgate didn't learn, but Walker and Stones are so dozy. They're just unable to concentrate for 90 minutes.
Why can't England and their fans just admit they got beat by the better team. 7 games 7 wins 🇪🇸 ❤
Kane not the best ever in his position. Alan Shearer is.
Underrated comment.
Jimmy Greaves
Not Geoff Hurst??
He had Bellingham and phoden on the pitch still and Saka didn’t beat one defender the whole tournament and he only subbed mainooo not one person on the pitch was getting behind the Spain defense
“Honest opinion” that Sky will allow
I've always thought a good manager is someone, whether at park level, 3rd division etc, who makes the most of his resources to mould them into a team, and this doesn't necessarily mean picking all the' best' players. History shows you get a system in mind and then pick the players to fit that system and not the other way round.
As soon as I saw Pickford playing longball boom boom boom I knew it was over xD
What do you mean?
@@rh.m6660 Pickford is in a team filled with Real Madrid, city, and arsenal players; teams who are heavily possession dominant and like to keep the ball but every chance he gets he punts that sht away and squanders possession
@@darren3654 literally have so many technical gifted players and we play Sam Allardyce ball. It’s embarrassing.
@@darren3654 honestly Pickford in the moment he tried to play it close the high pressing of Spain led to several dangerous situation so I wouldn't blame him but the tactical preparation of the team
The whole team is 💩
