England loses to Spain in EURO Final: How much blame does Southgate deserve? | ESPN FC 

Facts

Well doesn’t matter cus most of you guys still think English players are much better players than Spanish players 😂

Southgate will play them but at LB and RB😂

@@BC-mj7gj nah! Lol you got me all wrong lol I don’t believe in the English Hype at all. Kane overrated, Saka as well, TAA can’t defend, Rice is alright. Kane and Saka should have been dropped Gordon and Palmer should have started with Watkins but the English like they shiny toys instead of the quality players

No truer statement has been said

🤡

Viva Espana 🇪🇸

As an English man I have to say you are spot on. 👍

Ha ha, Im English and find this hilarious. Always been overrated, we always think we have the best players on paper etc etc who cares whats on paper it matters what happens on a pitch not paper lol

Yamal is the next Messi, it’s an unrealistic comparison.

@@JAYDUBYAH29no he’s not. He will not reach anywhere near Messi’s level.

😂😂

​@@danielhucky307 You don't know that lol! Back in early 2000s nobody believed Dinho was real and anyone would be at his levels too lol. This youngster will create his own legacy. And if anything Pele is the bar that is the highest! :)

@@rhymm9099 there’s nothing that suggests yamal will reach Messi’s heights. I watched the kid play and he’s not all that, he’s more of a left footed Neymar type of player but he’s no genius. Most of you keep talking about pele as the bar but non of you watched him play, there’s only like 10% footage online of him playing, Messi and Ronaldo have been recorded since they were young kids

True ,but Scunthorpe could be a challenge for him .

100% true!!!

Loooooool

Absolutely. 💯💯💯💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Playing for penalties'.

Thank you for asking this. They had good spells. Then reverted to negativity.... Cole Palmer in the games I watched him, gave a good spark for England but still he had to wait on the bench.... Finals are not about getting best players out there but the best team

They were thinking "now, how are gonna stop these studs from embarrasing us"

Getting a point

What? They weren't in the lead? You really need to learn more about football before having a opinion

Portugal also

True. Spain v Germany was the real final.

Except they were the second best.

​@@KarmaKahnNonsense. Germany only looked against the forever dreadful Scotland (12 group exits at 12 major tournaments)

​@@jm-np4mu Not a convincing point because England never dominated games, was even behind in every k.o. game and ran out of luck this time to again score a flattering late equaliser. Germany might have struggled as well but they created chances in every single game and deserved to win games. I disagree with France though. They had similar problems like England.

They need to reverse engineer the curse and sing "It is not coming home!". We dont believe We dont believe We dont believe It's not coming home, it's not coming home, Football's not coming home, It's not coming home, it's not coming home Football's not coming home.

Curse? Perhaps he’s just not as good as some people think?

The Dan Marino of English football. Breaks records but never wins trophies. :P

@@mabusestestamenthe has ability to score , but it’s not a complete footballer . Not fit or not , I don’t know .but he looked slow and tired . No work ethic and limited technical skill . He is ok but once he retires , he will be forgotten in a minute .

Kane must be really old 😂

31 years old, average age of retirement for players is 35. Time very close to running out. Seriously doubt it's ever happening after tonight.

Spanish commentators did not say that, I watched them tonight. They basically said, we should be Up 3-0 by now

Nah.. Watkins barely touch the ball also.. England just play a bit better after they got left behind and play randomly attack just because they need to make a goal 😂😂😂😂😂 And they got another brilliant moment from individual skill out of nowhere, and after 1 - 1, they back to safe mode, defensive again 😂😂😂😂 what a great plan from the manager

Kane is their best player, that was not fit unfortunately. But still better than their other options.

@@tobio6496 thats why we scored everytime he came off the pitch, if you dont understand football just stfu

@@tobio6496 Kane is just baggage

😂😂😂😂😂

Looooool

That was the only clear pass played from the english midfield tho. PS: english midfield being on the bench

Failed to beat Alonso's football machine. Stop the hate

U mean Eric Dier? 😂

Agree, stop the hating, play some positive football and manage what you are doing.

He always disappears in big games, If Kane has signed with Leverkusen last year, Bayern Munich would have won.

Curse lives on

Not with Southgate in charge

​@@elliottrichardson8213 all if it was a different manager English player are too average for major tournaments

​@elliottrichardson8213 it's not about the manager...England had Capello Erriksen before players like Gascoigne Keegan Lampard Rooney Ferdinand Beckham Gerrard and so on great players but without winner mentality England doesn't have it

Foden, man. Icl this guy deceived me. He is just not special. Jude is shite. Only Palmer for me is the one with X factor.

​@shashwatrao6949 jude is good he got the genuine assist

what team are you watching??? theyre dumb as rocks, clueless when things dont go to plan............................not smart enough, no guile/intelligence...........TIK TOK tossers

Do you think media don't exist in Spain? Lol. They are doing their jobs and you're here watching, and essentially supporting them.

These guys are ex-players, they do know what they are talking about.

​@@bernardadams6538The media doesn't just consist of former players, it also includes reporters and other journalists, who hype up England so much to the point where you want them to be humbled.

they may be biased but if you have a brain you would understand that most of what they're saying is true. England had the most talented team of this tournament and yet they failed to perform on any kind of level. When you have these kinds of players there's only one guy to blame... The manager.

@@WolfOfJustice I am non-European and I can tell you that other countries have media that hype up their own team as well. Stop blaming the media for something that they can't control. England have the Golden Boot winner in Bundesliga, the Best Player winner in La Liga and Prem. The hype for their team is reasonable, yet they play like they're in a relegation battle.

Spot on!

I dont think they outplayed Germany. Germany played better than them.

Erm. Spain are Brilliant but I do think Germany were unlucky, tbh. Of course , tho : Spain are Great. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🤝

@@vinlondon8904 Germany's midfield had no control of the game, Kroos made a terrible match and Musiala almost didn't appeared, I think that was because Germany was outplayed in my view.

Dude Germany had the better statistics. Even more expected goals and not given penalty. In my opinion first 60 minutes spain was the better Team and in the last 60 minutes Germans were better ​@@yanribeirocosta2192

@@yanribeirocosta2192Spain didn’t outplay Germany William and yamal don’t ball on that game that’s why they sub them

All tournament

I agree

LOL. Yep.

I don’t agree with you guys here, Walker played well, he was out of place for the goal but that was because he was pushing forward. You can’t have it both ways. Kane and Fidel both had poor performances.

​​@keepitsecret-dl1prIf Walker had a dreadful tournament, then foden had the worst tournament in history. He should never wear an England shirt again.

@@bernardadams6538 Walker had a good game but he was tired towards the end. England conceded at the 86th min. People made mistake when they are tired. He didnt need to push forward that high knowing Palmer wouldnt cover for him.

Walker has been decent imo , you are forgetting his saving tackle against the Dutch , him and Saka did OK at times down the right, one of our only times we attacked was with walker and saka. Ghuehi, Stones , Pickford , walker and Rice and were decent at the back imo ,Palmer clearly was the answer to our problems , he got 20 minutes ? But was our best player. Gardiner showed he could have been decent but ended up a forgottten man, Watkins should have played more from the start. I think its harsh to have a go at Kane ,,he was clearly below par and looked injured all tournament, he gave 100% , but he shouldn't have been playing , Southgate bottled starting Watkins. Bellingham was even worse ,,the biggest disappointment all tournament, but Southgate let him down by watching him struggle down the left, he needed a rest, but again Southgate bottled leaving him out for a couple of games. Foden was criminally let down,, he clearly didn't understand what Southgate wanted from him , and neither did Southgate, wasted talent. I give our players all the credit for getting to a final despite having a manager seeing them suffering game after game.

Both goals came from his side, he is just slow to react, especially on the second goal. He is literally marking nobody

😂😂🎉🎉

@@dylanvogler2165 You're wrong! It went home to Spain where it belongs.

Football left home many years ago to never look back!!! It has a better home now😂😂😂

@@tommykarate9397 🤣🤣🤣

Exactly!!!! ☝️

@@josemartinez-pu4vltrue, but England has better player, in almost all positions not counting the bench how the heel did lose?

Spain style is refreshing to watch with Williams an yamal...England is stale with kane up top jordan Pickford in goal the best team won the tournament....won all of they matches

@@kevinage2332You only think that because you don’t watch La Liga. Football in Spain is far more superior in terms of technicality and tactically. In a genuine head to head comparison between Spanish players and English players I believe that Spain will dominate in terms of technical superiority, most of English players are good players in a system that’s the reason why they perform well in club football because majority of the best players and managers around the world are in England because of the financial, commercial and marketing aspects of the game.

@@BC-mj7gjabsolutely… if you truly want to counter his point, just count how many European cup wins PL teams have in the past 20-30 years… Now count the Spanish club trophies

Why was it only 2.1 with goal line clearence to stop 2.2

Indeed

@keepitsecret-dl1pr what is keeper job he was poor for first goal

Didn't even deserve to reach the final.

​@@user-mz1xu6bn2rcan't do anything more about that goal

Loooooool

And that's because the manager is holding them back. Refusing to play in form players. Insisting on playing out of form players. Insisting on playing safe. They score a goal and go negative.

They’ve been criticizing England the whole tournament.

They are delusional because they live in a bubble, they watch only EPL and think its the best league in the world! It's not! It's the best only in terms of marketing and financial rewards, that's why it attracts so many foreign managers and players! It's not English who make PL one of the best in the world, it's foreigners!

It was 2-1, with opportunities that could've easily have gone in at either end. Spain were the better team throughout the tournament, but upsets happen in football all time, its not arrogant to acknowledge that

It's not arrogant. If you reach a final you have a chance to win it e.g Portugal in 2016 🤦‍♂️

How is he captain of England? He's never captained a club side.

Wasn't he captain at Spurs too?

You must be one of those foden groupies. The audacity to mention Bellingham, when foden was the worst player in the tournament 😁😁😁😁😳.

Get your head checked

@@mannyyard9882 u on crack jude was awful

​@@mannyyard9882he is right tho

​@mannyyard9882 fodens wasn't the worst player. It's the goals that gives Bellingham leverage but he wasn't as good as foden in general game play. He played selfishly, he tried to dribble past players when there was an easy pass to play.

The chant Is ironic

👍

Clearly don’t understand the song at all.

Have you ever listened to the song? The entire point of the song is that you still keep dreaming of success even though it’s been so long. Fucking moron

The only thing coming home are the immigrants over the channel 😂

But they don’t have the best players.

No one will remember that …. Besides losing English fans 😂😂

😂😂🎉🎉

No shame in being a runner up.

Bridemaids again😅😅😅

​@@clownworldcartoonsThere is when your fans are low IQ melts.

Oh yes please!!! Employ him as your manager he’ll make England even more shite than they actually are 😂😂😂

@keepitsecret-dl1pr But will any of them have Southgate's superpower of getting the easiest draw in every major tournament?

The worst decision was starting foden in every game. Took him 88 minutes today, to realise foden was a disaster again 🤦‍♀️.

Phil Foden was a bigger problem

Southgate is the real problem not the players. He picks the side and where they play

agreed 👍

Pickford is so over rated. His disruption is appalling just gave the ball to Spain time and time again.

​@@cosmicpunk891it was his long ball that Spain scored the second goal. I never seen such an idiotic keeper. Unless he's been told to do that by Southgate.

Emi Martinez and Donnaruma are the best keepers in the world now.

He plays for EVERTON! He is prone to lump it up field but this is England it’s an absolute JOKE!

As an Englishman this is bang on. It will take another generation & maybe another after that to have an England side that is technically gifted. We are further along from the days of Beckham, Lampard & Scholes & soon the PL will kick off in Aug with 100 miles an hour football not helping the England side. Technically we do not have the ability to keep the ball or have good enough movement off the ball. I've now seen two finals & 1 semi (Croatia) with exactly the same result, low possession & not enough bravery. It may never happen & that's sad but we will give it a go again. Too much in this tournament a player has had a ball at their feet & the rest of their Eng team mates expect them to take on a man & dribble through the opposition without realising they are not brave enough & need someone to come short & provide an option for a pass. In tonight's final only Saka, Bellingham, Stones, Rice & Palmer tried to move progressively with the ball significantly that I can remember & Pickford kicked it long far, far to often.

Have you seen these players play for Man City arsenal real etc, within the right structure they can do that, but Southgate provides no structure or strategy

@@carlosjones8712 International football is just a different beast. Under pressure no England team has proven they can keep possession of the ball & not give it away immediately when they get it. It's a mentality as well as an ability. The Spanish press was too much for the England team & the movement off the ball by England was too static for them to move up the pitch quickly enough

That's exactly it is, the philosophy of football is played with brain, leg is just a tool has never ever crossed in england's mindset

​@@carlosjones8712within the right structure you mean under foreign manager and with 7-8 foreign players playing for them on the pitch? 😂😂😂

Not necessarily blame, but reflect for the future…player looking knackered = give him a rest. Tactics not working =change the system (unless players aren’t doing what you are asking them to do-the change player).

I blame the PL league player of the year Foden. All this hype about being England's best player, but ended up being the worst.

No. They are white.

Luke shaw was horrible

Kane and Southgate share the same underwear

22**

Spanish teams haven’t won every final they’ve played in! Thats BS…

Lol ikr?

Spain won Italy by own goal...so that match wasn't an open play...C'mon man

Did you even watch that game mate? If we had anyone else other than Morata, Italy would have ended up with a bag of goals.

Explain that comment pls? Sounds racist to me

Facts. Overrated player that people think is the next Zidane because he can do a few a stepovers against the worst defenders in La Liga. It's embarrassing. Extremely inconsistent just like Harry Kane. Both were terrible the whole tournament.

Foden is trash

Phil Foden was the biggest example of that. He should never wear an England shirt again.

Bellingham was the best English player on the pitch in the final despite being played out of position

​@@patrickbatman141 You clearly didn't watch Zidane regularly enough. Man was extremely inconsistent, but did well in big games.

Ain’t no way.
