GAB & JULS SHOW: Spain are EURO 2024 Champions!🏆 England's DESPAIR!😭 and much more | ESPN FC 

I think their explanation makes sense at least. England "could" have nicked a goal and saw the game out. Spain were just too good for them.

@riopuyazo ITALIAN- AMERICAN......even worse the only thing he knows about football is an egg shaped ball and they play it with their hands.....

Low low low standard.

😆😂

He's American isn't it? Otherwise that means most of our players aren't English?

@@PED_Fraudiola true

Italian managers are better than Spanish ones

I would give you a hundred thumbs up if I could.

Problem with that is....german and france had higher xg. England were an inch away from a draw (header) this spain team wont get this fortune next time unless they improve 10%

@@Genevasplaytime Dude. No champion had won all their matches before. It's the first time it happens. If Spain had luck every previous champion had even more luck. I would agree with you if you said Spain got to the tournament in the perfect sweet spot with all the players in perfect synch and peak form, and that will be difficult to repeat, but they didn't luck it out.

​@@GenevasplaytimeYou saw a different game

The English players have improved their technique over these years, endeavour and determination is still their major plus points, systems are not their strength

Spanish football hasnt done anything of note. Real and barca still only clubs to win in ucl and we know that Barca bribed in spain and europe so why not real? Epl has 6 winners. Imagine if london had 1 club lol. Dont forget to strip the first 5 off real as they dont count at all

Lucky to get past the 2nd round id say. For such a strong squad of players to perform so badly consistently surely shows it can only be tactical and only a change in charge can fix it.

@@JungleTunes94 That's the problem they are not a strong squad of players, they are on a par with Switzerland, that's their level, completely out classed by a marvellous technically superior Spanish team.

@@gerryclarke9795 I dont buy that, best player in English, Spanish, German leagues last season on the pitch on top of several players who have done well for England, Palmer and Watkins on the bench to name a few. I dont care how overrated you think the team is which I do agree with you on we should not be struggling ever with that squad vs a very average group and knock out opponents. I think most of the major nations were pretty ordinary really, only Spain impressed .

So were spain. Germany and france had higher xg than them. People seem to think winning=deserved winning

They have some world class players. Don't have a world class system or manager.

@@nudisco7882 World class players only according to the media

​@@darrenredden3289they have but the manager sucks

No. You have players like Foden, Bellingham, Kane, Walker, Saka, etc. that play on teams that are positive and offensively aggressive. You can't take that base and turn them into a park the bus team. Southgate did that. England needs a new manager.

@@rmv9194 agree he's utterly clueless, but the prima donnas also need strongly criticising

The only Time England shows a glimpse of good football Is when they had to Score because they are down 1-0. After scoring, they go back to parking the bus instead of taking advantage of the momentum 😢

England: We all play negative as a hyped team.

Exactly

Indeed.

You're absolutely right

They could have done it the way they did it the entire tournament. Get lucky. Agreed though they were just terrible and it was frustrating seeing them fail upwards every game

So it’s not coming home hahaha

They are the luckiest team in the tournament, so it was a possibility despite the lack football

So how much exactly did you bet on Spain?

ESPN fc hype us like england would win but we are not blind it was Spain all the way 🎉🎉

Like who?

@@GamerFriscoSimon > Pickford, Carvajal = Walker, Stones > le Normand, Laporte > Guehi, Cucurella > Shaw, Rodri > Mainoo, Ruiz > Rice, Bellingham > Olmo, Yamal > Saka, Williams > Foden, Kane > Morata. 7.5 vs 3.5

​@@GamerFriscomerino y zubimendi,que son suplentes,tratan y manejan el balon mejor que cualquier jugador titular ingles..

Gab is THE most arrogant human being on the planet

Gavi is injured and not in the Spain squad. Do u watch Euro 2024?

Before this tournament began, Other than Rodri, who else are you picking in a combined English/Spanish XI? England were pre tournament favourites, Spain only 5th. I think its evident that England has a much better squad of players than Spain but Gareth had no clear coaching identity on how to get the best out of the array of talent and in the end they were lucky to stumble all the way to the final with the help of an easy draw.

​@matthewtovey9771 you are not the favorite because you yourself call you a favorite. Maybe look beyond your little island

@@matthewtovey9771 Maybe the English players are just overrated 🤪. Let’s not rule that out. Just saying.

He looks great with the Spanish shirt

Kane: Top goal scorer in Bundesliga Foden: Voted best prem player Bellingham: Voted best la liga player Palmer: Voted best young prem player Saka & Rice: Arsenal's 2 best players arguably last season Stones & Walker: Serial winners at man city, won everything there is to win in club football together etc Spain did not have the better players, but were the better team in terms of how they were coached and the style of play they stuck to. England looked like the players had never played with each other before.

@@matthewtovey9771 England have a lot of physically powerful and athletic players. They are solid in terms of technique too. But Spain love the ball and have a better technical touch and movement in small spaces than England. Less athletic and not physically imposing as the English but better at using the ball.

@@Iron-Bridge I'm afraid that's why they'll never learn, they see genius where there's only workaday, the English culture is to get stuck in no finesse!

@@matthewtovey9771there are other leagues and other players outside the prem you know

Totally true.

They're fine enough, c'mon.

No, they have had great players over the years, but they don't have good coaches for tournament football. For many years, their managers have been too conservative, dropping deep and not using the talents of their players. Their style is boring because of that, not because of the talent pool. A progressive manager like Pep or Klopp would transform them.

They've been living good for over 15 years now.

If barca get nico williams some chance lewa perform better.. The rivalry with real madrid should be spicy next year should be a great season

Imagine being a Spaniard a NOT a Real Madrid fan: Yesterday: Male football Eurocup winners. Also yesterday: Wimbledon winner. This year: Female World Cup winners.

Being a Real Madrid fan is the equivalent of choosing the easiest difficulty available and then installing cheat codes in the game.

Don't forget the latest renovation to the Bernabeau has made it a world-class stadium on par with some of the ones we have in the States

If you follow Italy and Gab's comments on them, he is always pretty realistic when it comes to Italy. He was the first to admit that Italy doesn't produce attacking talents such as Baggio, Totti, Del Piero etc. anymore. When Italy won the last Euros, he also said that it was teamwork that won them, not the individuals.

Marcotti is the first to bash Italy for no reason, you people need to pay attention.

@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia Yes exactly 💯

@@onetime1239 He wrote a very fair assessment of the final on ESPN, you can read that.

​@@oldskoolmusicnostalgiastick to netball thanks

Spain had a bit of luck too with the Unai Simon and Dani Olmo headed save on the line before the end of the game. I'm glad Spain won as a neutral. But that was a close one.

​@@Iron-Bridgenot in terms of the amount of attacking football Spain played. The only factor that wanted England to win was their luck and when that ran out, they didn't look for other solutions in terms of goal scoring. 😅 I mean why play a football match for 120 minutes if you are just passing time for a penalty shootout. They also only score goals as a response to other teams scoring btw which is bizzare in itself. 😅 I feel fortune favours the brave and it was not the case until the final, where even fortune washed it's hands off this side. 😅

@@zarpspawn3508Southgate tried to pull a madrid vs city. English players dont have that madrid mentality though

Their audience is mainly American & international you muppet. The idea Marcotti is pro-English, you clearly don't listen to him.

​​@@Iron-BridgeI wouldn't call it luck when players do what they're supposed to do. I mean, how many sensational saves did Pickford make? Would you call that luck? You could make the case that Spain could easily have had three or four goals and a comfortable victory.

Euro olimpics and world cup with nationleague

england have zero euro trophy.

Who cares? He gave Spain their proper credit. Grow up, dummy.

Italy was horrible and France was not good at all....

​@@realbro1415Italy was horrible because they are in drought of talent in this generation. They never needed to win a tournament they just won less than 4 years ago. They won 4 World cups , 2 Euro. England won only 1 tournament and that is the 1 WC almost 60 years ago.😅😅😅😅

@@misterlexx2721 I'm talking about Italy, why are you telling me about England?? Didn't Italy MISS the last 2 WC??? 😂😂😂

What do you mean he’s only saying nice things about Spain 😂

YAMAL?!?🤣 We have more talents that are unknown in other sides as well, i was surprised nobody knew how good nico really was. shows how much the english media controls the narrative of how we rate players.

The Spanish played against the strongest teams, unlike the England , who were lucky and played against weak teams

​@fletcherchristian6411 .English fans in general new that England didn't have a chance as long as Southgate is manager.The press and TV pundits don't represent how English supporters feel. As an example we all wanted Palmer a technically gifted player to start .We want to play technical good football.The team reflects the manager not what the supporters want

@@fletcherchristian6411, in WC 82, after Brazil, the next best team was France with one of the best midfield ever: Platini, Giresse, Tigana, Genghini/Ferdandez. The match against Germany is one of the best ever. The French played Germany off the pitch but the germans responded by sending the French right back into a coma by almost ending his life with a savage attack by the goalkeeper Schumacher who did not even get a yellow card. There is a documentary about this match.

@@fletcherchristian6411thank you I’m an England fan and half English but we just can’t seems to do it. I think English lucks tenacity. Unlike other top countries.

@@fletcherchristian6411 , there’s a raging debate at the moment in France about the country football philosophy. The current philosophy was born in 1995, when the French FA decided to rebuild the national team around a new generation of players from the best academies. A new coach came in, the brilliant Aimé Jacquet. He cleaned the house. He decided to no longer select players based on their brilliance alone, but mainly on a combination of absolute discipline and insane talent. The arms race started in France. Out with Cantona, Ginola who were loose cannons who couldn’t follow instructions; in were a young generation of insanely talented young players such as Zidane, Viera, Henry, Trezeguet, Pires, Thurman, Lizarazu, Desailly etc. This team became quickly the best in the world, winning WC98, Euro2000, and losing in the final of WC2006!on penalties. The French football academies focus on producing players who are independent and don’t rely on a system. This is why the French players are so successful. They can play anywhere anytime and be good. The problem is that in modern football, the national teams do not train anymore because the the seasons are too busy and France has problems having a cohesive team. My wish is that Deschamps, who is an amazing leader of men, would resign and that Zidane would take over now. If this happens, France wins the next WC. Zidane has been waiting to take over but Deschamps won’t resign because he doesn’t want Zidane him after a failures. Remember, Deschamps was Zidane’s captain in the national team and at Juve. They have a rivalry going.

True

Noone speaks spanish lol go away

That’s because people tend to pay more attention to goal scoring and goal scorers but if you really analyze the game Rodri was the best and most important player for the best team in the tournament.

​@@eddiechea3603 spot on

@@eddiechea3603analyse what in particular. I think its subjective really Fabian or Williams could have easily won it.

I agree with Olmo. He gave Spain something else.

Any one of Rodri, Olmo, Fabian, Nico, and lamine could have won it honestly. I’m glad they didn’t give it to a forward for once.

He had a great tournament.

He relies too much on his "gladiator" thing. Doesn't really need to.

🇮🇱

They both predicted Thursday Spain to loose and England to win they mad Spain won cause Spain beat Italy and knocked out France so they barely talk about them as if the euro champs don't matter

You summed this up beautifully ❤ Yet the English media and England fans still don't understand why non-England fans dislike their national team so much.

Which is astonishing because for so many years in Spain we were slave to having the national team being all Real Madrid players. Back then when only 2 foreigners were allowed in the leagues, of course. Once they were allowed Real Madrid stopped having national players.

In the 2012 Euro Cup, Spain played with 6 midfielders, Fábregas played as a false 9, and they beat Italy 4-0

15 goals 4 conceded and 1 was a own goal

Future top centerbacks for spain: Cubarsí, Huijsen, mosquera, and yarek in that order of quality for me.... Cubarsí probably right now is the most promising cebterback in the world. Amazing that kid... LB and RB for the future: Balde, miguel gutierrez, Fran García, Rafa obrador, pedro porro, Fortea etc... TOP MIDFIELDER IN FUTURE SPAIN TOP GENERATION IS COMING: Bajcetic, Paulo iago (the best talent of spain with lamine yamal too, search videos in youtube of this kid, 16 years old in madrid academy... crazy talent, reminds me of ozil) Pedri, Gavi, Baena, Moleiro, Pablo Torre, Pablo Barrios marc casadó, Fermín Lopez, Pedro fernandez.. etc... Attack for the next gen of spain: Enzo Alves, Lamine yamal, Nico williams, Yeremi Pino, Bryan Zaragoza etc... Honestly, spain have a super team for the next 15 years... crazy....

@@rdg9768 Cubarsí IS not the BEST. Huijsen Rafa Marín. Any way Next IS Pau Torres.vivian and zubiria

@@shahedshuvo8666 He has a lot during the Euros though.

As a big football nation (what england claims to be), you have to win a big tournament every now and then. Smaller nations can say going to a final or semi final would be a success

Winning isn't important? Tell that to every engkand fan! Sad that it's all unrealized potential!

True to a point, you can only beat what's in front of you, they did play with great skill and flair and did contain TRULY WORLD CLASS PLAYERS.

But England will be the obvious hot favourites, surely? Lol
