No Way It Happened Again 

zealand came home before football

Went from 30 years of hurt to 60

At the end Spain - Germany was the final. Germany was also the only team, Spain didn‘t beat in 90min. and needed overtime.

Everytime Mr. Zealnd says „Oyarzabal“, a Basque child dies. 😢

“Southgate is a good coach” goes on to list all the England players that didn’t play as good as they do at club level

For those unaware how Dani Olmo kept Kane's trophy curse going in Germany, he scored all 3 goals in RB Leipzig's victory in the DFL-Supercup, so he has a valid claim to denying Kane's first trophy opportunity in Germany

As an Englishman, Spain were the deserving winners, not just of the final but the tournament as a whole. Spain were one of the few bright spots in amongst a sea of negative defensive football. It’s really hard to phrase this next part without sounding entitled, but getting to the final doesn’t feel like something worth celebrating. England played terrible for much of the tournament and if you ask any England fans what their highlight of the teams performances were, they’d either say any of the brilliant individual goals or the first 30 minutes of the Netherlands. We played Slovenia, Slovakia and Serbia this tournament and made it to the final, yet only managed less the a half of good football throughout the Euros. I’d have much rather seen Spain vs Netherlands.

You are generally right, but your reference to 2018's Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard isn't entirely spot on. Back then Dele Alli was looked at as the future of English football, he was that good. And Jesse Lingard was certainly in form during that period. It was only in later years that they fell off.

They’re THIS strong without PEDRI AND GAVI even 😂 This is unfair

Big Z got out of the CIA black-site, massive W!

Its somhow nice that the Bundesliga is so underreported compared to EPL and La Liga, there are so many breakout players from BL.. Olmo and Xavi Simmons just from Leipzig

Phil Foden turned into a prime Lakaka for this one

It was expected tbh. Dont rely on individual brilliance and expect to beat teams on the caliber like spain. I mean for god sake, they almost lost against serbia, how is a team like that gonna beat spain. And isnt it kinda stupid how southgate devided to park the buss at 1-1 against spain. He really thought it was gonna work huh haha.

An interesting topic for just how dominant Spain is atm since they are defending champions in: - Euros - Nations League - Woman's World Cup - Woman's Natations League - Real Madrid in Champions League - Barcelona in Woman's Champions League Just insanely impressive!

As an Englishman, 2021 definitely hurt more than this. In 2021 we were the best team all tournament and it felt like we deserved to win. This time tho, we know Spain have been the best team and they once again just played better than us

Southgate is putting Team Bonding across the week in training🤣 Team cohesion: maxxed Tactical familiarity: none

Imagine thinking it was ever coming home lmao

Chelsea fans came away with something at least

Lautaro this season has accomplished something Harry Kane couldn't in 10 lifetimes.

The impressive world cup run beating giants such as panama, Tunisia, sweden and colombia(penalties)

It has come Euskadi before coming home.

It's called the Harry-Kane effect!

Giving gareth Southgate credit is criminal the english are good despite him this english squad is world-class

Southgate masterclass on how not to win a Final

"drop as deep as the Titanic" got me laughing so hard i had to pause the video lmao

free the homie Zealand

Dis is ze history of ze Tott-- England

Don't worry, Oyarzabal is Basque so the pronunciation probably doesn't include the Castilian S sound and you may also disregard any Spanish pronunciation of the surname as it is as accurate as English.

Last night hurt. This morning stings. Football again showing that it can be a roller coaster of emotions and we were all in for the ride last night. Spain are undoubtedly deserved winners and but there was just a period where we were riding our luck a little and you just thought... somehow...we might get there. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. So, as I have said elsewhere, I feel proud but defeated. Also as a Newcastle fan, I'm now like 0-5 in finals 😅

I think the best thing to do is to make the goalkeeper the captain. Going forward. Because the goalie doesn’t change often. Having an outfield player as captain is not great, because the manager and teammates feel he must always play, whether it’s Kane, Messi or Ronaldo. Were Kane not the captain, I think the manager would not have so much pressure to build the team around him. As the main goalie tends not to be substituted/benched, there’s a player who is going to be in every match and it won’t be an issue. Southgate would feel much freer to choose Toney or Watkins or both up front, were Kane not the captain. Whoever takes the England job, his first decision has to be: make Pickford captain. Didn’t do Iker Casillas any harm!

Welcome back to our US of A, the land of insanity

👏You're one of the only people to acknowledge Walker and Stones. They have the attention spans of goldfish and it cost us vs Croatia. People forget Stones nearly knocked us out vs Slovakia when he completely fell asleep

You live in a world where a #7 from Atletico became the star and captain of Real Madrid and the Spanish National Team and led them to nothing. As he was replaced the team won 3 titles in a row then a #7 from Real became an Atletico icon and Spain National Team captain and got to lift the Euro trophy 😀

It is wild to say that Southgate is a good coach and then turn around and say that his coaching style doesn't suit his best players! That is his entire job! Yes, plenty of players didn't really show up but Southgate kept picking them despite them having poor performances - it reflects really poorly on Southgate as a coach that he can't figure out how to use them. I also think two things can be true; the players didn't show up because the tactics didn't suit them and they also just had bad performances - in both cases Southgate has to make better decisions and be bold enough to bench players like Kane. Anyone with eyes could see that Kane dropping deep just kept making a mess for other players; all tournament, players like Foden and Bellingham had no one stretching the defense so they had no room to operate in and no options to play it forward - that falls at the feet of Southgate. If Southgate was directing Kane to drop deep and he couldn't see what a mess it was causing his team then I don't think he is a good coach. Kane had more touches in his own penalty box (3) than he did in Spain's (1)! Southgate had plenty of their best players available and some real talent on the bench - the one player Southgate felt he was missing was Kalvin Phillips! Would you consider Phillips one of England's best players? Walker was at fault for both goals sitting way too narrow and Southgate had TAA available and didn't make the change despite the threat from set pieces he could offer. (On a side note, having watched Walker for over a decade the dude cannot cross a ball to save his life, actually makes me kind of sick to see him try and fail so miserably). Sorry for the rant.

Southgate is NOT a good coach. You would CLEARLY be a better coach, Zealand.

The Oyarzabal goal was so class!!!

Spain came into the Tournament ready to Play. England did not, the left side didn't look good until the final but even then they weren't at Spain's level. Kane hasn't moved freely at all he has looked like his back was bothering him every time he turned. I think Lee Carsley is ready to step up to replace Southgate this Winter and hopefully bring more of that Euro 2023 U21 winning squad with him. The England Squad looked fatigued and every tournament apart from 2022 that has been the case.

Pickford did that a lot, coming out of his line to catch crossess but didnt realize a player closing in to tap it near post

Two things: 1) the southgate special works both ways, he either lifts a terrible team or he brings down a great team. He is the epitome of mid. 2) the founding fathers didn’t risk it all for you to say “we” 😂😂😂😂

Gareth Southgate is a skill floor raiser but he is also a skill ceiling lowerer

high def and the mic not constantly hitting the shirt, this is clearly a fake AI video. They got our boy. R.I.P.

Once again we just chugged along and then lost to the first good team we played that tournament

Zealand being told what to say

Football did not come home but Zealand did.

LETS GO VIVA ESPAÑA QUE LINDO ES SER DE ESTE PAÍS

Looked to me like Pickford didnt expect him to reach the ball

Completely agree on your summary. Also think, if Kane was not subbed, he would have scored on that rebound header that Olmo saved on the line.

they asked Jude Bellingham earlier in the tournament "Who writes your scripts?" and he said "I do" - well he had two pretty blank pages for the semi and the final, apart from one layoff for Palmer's goal. He may become a more dominant figure in time. The margins are so small and England are very close and while they often feed off foreign colleagues in their clubs to excel themselves, they struggle to feed off each other to the same extent. England may need a real 'winner' coach who can instil more tactical clarity and attacking nous, but there's not many of these who are English. If Southgate goes, they should be grateful for what he's done

Spain deserved that, best team in the final by far, best and most consistent team in the tournament, massive congrats to Spain. Roll on the domestic season, play up Pompey!

Spain - Germany was the moral final this time, just like Argentina - Netherlands was the moral final in WC2022. The winner of the tournament was basically known after those games unless something crazy would happen.

On the run from setting up the background…. Cmon this won’t distract us

The Birmingham lads have yet to know the final result of the match (they are still waiting for the match to begin)

glad you got away safely! Interpol can't get ya now

Zealand said Pickford had excellent distribution 😂😂

Spain were and are the best team in the world currently. The young players they are are frightening as to how good they are and yet haven't even reached their peek. In the final England were 2nd best, our best chance of winning anything was the 2020 version, I see Southgate leaving, he got us to 2 finals which no other England manager has ever done so he gets a massive load of respect for that. I just hope whoever we get in picks players on merit rather then he's a big name, we will have him.

Yes, we already know you no longer run.

3:18 The instant revisionism on a team that was the Bookies favourite pre-tournament is crazy

This team is comparable to and even better than the 2021 team hands down. The players didn't show up sure, but Southgate is asscracks as a coach because he fails to utilise his players properly

Yes big Z is back to be bullied about his office!

Southgate DESERVES to continue with the NT. But you were very correct when you said that he should ride off into the sunset. No one expected a WC SF, euro final, WC QF, then Euro final when england were knocked out by Iceland in 2016.

On the... what?... how does this involve turtles? I hear he triple dips them in "lite" mayo.

Glad your name got cleared 🙏

Thank God you are safe Z 😅

Lo de España es solo el principio y es que aun hay chicos de 14-18 años que estan a punto de dar el salto como para entrar en la absoluta. Cubarsi, mosquera, samu omorodion, hector fort, marc giu, el chico descendiente de holandeses de la roma de apellido impronunciable o el hijo de serbios y gallego del liverpool que estaba jugando hasta caer en una lesion de la que ml acababa de salir. El futuro de españa es gigante.

Cucurella had Saka in his pocket all game and broke free to set up Oyarzabal for the winner.

Wtf do you mean this wasn't England's best team? Southgate took world class players who had amazing seasons and made them look bang average. They made it to the final because of individual brilliance ie saka and Bellingham late goals. Southgate is a shit coach

The most confusing 'what if' for me is that Trent never got to play on the right of the back 5 system. Everyone was saying Trent is suspect defensively & offers nothing offensively but what did Walker do last night?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT'S NEVER COMING HOMEEEEEEEE

It was clear Harry Kane had aggravated an existing injury.

IT'S COMING HOME! 😂😂

¡Vamos España!

Acting as if spanish weren't the favourite and everyone one knew they would win lol

Graham Potter has been missing for a while now... My moneys on him as the next manager

Hey at least we didn't humiliate ourselves in a home tournament

FYI, the Premier League will have the semi-automatic offside technology from season 24/25 👍

We said go for a run, not go on the run!

Morata LITERALLY became the Spanish Giroud.

Vamos SPIAN !!!, England is literally Spur internationally

England probably doesn't get to the final if they had to go through the Spanish route

Zealand survived

Sure Spain was the better team but I just fed up of the England hate. Like true England fans like me aren’t hooligans - we’re like most national team fans - just want to be happy and we hate the fact that other people just kick us while we’re down. Southgate does need to go but let’s build on this now

My England takeaways: 1: There needs to be an internal debrief focused on how so many of the English players can come into this tournament off the back of breakout seasons for their clubs, yet be completely anonymous on the international stage. 2: There is an obvious disconnect between team and manager, England have a wealth of attacking talent, yet have a defensive minded manager. 3: The England players need to wind their necks in and understand that the frustration from the fans comes from them wanting England to win, not to lose. We are all pulling in the same direction. 4: Yet despite all this, England made the final. You can say this isn't Englands best team, I think it is, but we can only imagine at this point what those players playing on full cylinders would be like, because it doesn't feel like it's going to happen out side of FIFA or Football Manager.

Honestly, I think the problem with England not winning anything in the last few tournaments, despite reaching finals and semi finals, is the fact that Kane has clearly been afflicted with a gypsy curse at birth that makes it so he will never, ever win a trophy.

It’s not MikEl OyArzabal, it’s MIkel OyarzAbal

After the Semis I said to my friends that it was Spain's to lose at that point. Spain had a wiff of the 2012 Spain that scared Europe to death. This team is just scary good. And as an Englishmen, it hurts as always but Spain turned up. England didn't. Say for a few individuals but the team as a package just choked. In the words of our second favourite soccer loving American; "Its the hope that kills you"

"He's a good coach" is that a troll? When any pundit/media/RU-vidr that happened to be British despised Gary to the core, as American coached by their very own "Southgate" you, of all people should know better, Southgate just stumbled his way into another final, period.

Stopped watching when you said Gareth Southgate was the sole reason we got to the final, bye Zealand

I don't know what Zealand sees in Southgate.

Englands squad is by far and away the best squad in Europe. It is not even close. It is not impressive that he got this squad to the final considering the easy run

What I am most surprised about is that England did not play as if their lives depended on it, they did not play like they learned from the last EUROs, it did not look like they gave it their absolute all, which is just baffling to me. Yes, they scored a goal, it was one of very few good moments they had in the game, but it never looked like they were actually going to win this match. Spain, on the other hand, looked like they were in control basically the entire match and there was never any doubt that they were gonna win this. It really was quite one-sided.

"Everytime I see one of these pictures, why do La Liga and the Premier League not have this technology?" ...We all know why Z...

Spain defeat Italy, Germany, France, England to win the Euros, that's literally all the World Cup Champions from Europe, that's like a game milestone

When England got the equaliser and started to retreat I got so angry you'd think I was supporting them to win

Oh no Zealand, I know it was a joke, but they will literally lock you up for saying something like that😂😂

Nice shirt Zealand. Go App!

only time that I felt Spain might lose was vs Germany, and that was due to Nico and Yamal not being on the pitch. Only team I genuinely saw Spain time-waste against (granted it was only for a few minutes in ET at 1-1). Looking back at how the handball that wasn't given should've been given offside, I've now accepted that Spain were just the best team and deserved to win this euros. Crazy how on paper France, England, and Germany should've won, but Spain were just an amazing team. Credit to La Fuente but I won't be surprised if Germany get revenge at WC 26

La liga player of the year. Premier league player of the year. Bundesliga top scorer. The talent matches up but Southgate doesn't have the nous to get them over the line.

no wayy, who would have thought

Zealand spent a month on the run and didn't log a single mile of actual running

pepo fragiola is back!!!
