It was men against boys out there. England were lucky to get to the final. Scraped out of an easy group. Ended up in the easy side of the knockout stages. They were thoroughly outclassed tonight.
Pathetic. How did Scotland do at the tournament, hm? Your team is so shit, all you have to be happy in football is gorging yourself on England losing (and losing in the final, a type of game Scotland will never ever play in). I am not English (or from anywhere in the UK), but the Scots' small-minded 'Anything But England; attitude only makes you look as small as you are.
Thank you Spain, from the whole world. England were my favourites before euro started. When I saw them play, it was painful beyond expressing. Southgate needs to leave.
@@MariaDiaz-gc6jrEngland clearly need a better manager who would utilize the talents better and take them to new heights. The current squad is good, but not good enough.
one could argue England have more superstars or players that could win you a game on their own....but Spain have better chemistry and despite their lack o experience they went at them again. Winning finals is what the spanish are great at.
Still as a Spaniard, to be fair you got to get to the finals to lose them. Regardless of how when where why. You have to make it ALL the way to the finals. And they've done it consistently. They will regroup. I dont like English football however they're not as bad as everyone is carrying on lol
Seriously, as a spaniard I don't understand how you didn't take advantage of your great players, it's like you want to win with zero risk, this is not the way to win tournaments, if you take risks and fail ok, at least you know you tried the best you could, with no regrets.
De acquerdo. Soy escoces y creo que los ingleses estuvieron timidos sin de tener una ideacion claro sobre su tacticos y con la falta de proposito asi, y la falta de libertad a expressar su propio juego. Ingletarra nunca va a jogar como Espana pero tiene su estilo y su fuertes, dos cosas que no se humiliaron si ganara. Espana superior indiscutiblamente, pero Ingletarra le falta confianza sobre todo...
@@MK-hw2ir but this is 11vs11 sport, lamine nico up and down the hole freaking game same like olmos and morata, Bellingham kane ??? waiting in position why? Spain high presure was criminal
English pundits on England’s performance -15seconds criticism -45seconds analyzing how they can perform better -5min praising what a great talent the team is. No wonder England never improves
Well these young lads of Spain taught these so called experienced players of England how to play progressive and beautiful football. Spain is not scared to throw the youngsters in the deep end. England must be grateful to lose 2- 1 against a team far more superior in depth and skill.
England were poor. Way too negative. It’s obvious that Southgate is not getting the best out of these players. Kane should never have started, he is unfit. Time for the FA to wake up.
Spain was superior in all aspects to England. England can count itself lucky to be only 1 goal behind. They played some decent football in the minutes after the second Spanish goal, when their strategy of park the bus and go for pens shattered. Spain on the other hand played with passion the whole game, like if they were behind from the beginning and giving it all to catch up, except they were never behind, even if the draw felt like being left behind and losing. Anything can happen in a football match and anyone can win anything against anyone, and fairness does not exist. But by the numbers, Spain was undoubtedly the winner and deservedly so. I already said back then that the Spain-Germany was the real final, and whoever won was probably going to win the whole thing.
Spain were amazing, England were donkeys all tournament. The didnt deserve getting to play offs. It was sheer luch for them to get to the final. Viva Espana 🏴🇪🇸
We were rubbish throughout. Landed in an easy side of the draw. Southgate is a Division one manager at best. can only assume he greases the right palms.
American here...That coach needs to be fired...he sucks and leans too heavy on 'name' players..Why would u play vanilla ice foden over Cole palmer...Palmer looks like a stud, much better than foden ..and ppl say Kane is a superstar but that guy looks old and slow...but what the hell do I know..
@@giomusah2155kept benching a player with 42 G/A in the previous season even tho whenever that player got subbed in, he immediately made an impact. Only a fool could do that. I mean, 42 G/A...and England needed a spark and creativity throughout the tournament. 😂
It would have been a travesty if Spain has lost ,as they were by far the best team in the tournament,taking out Croatia,Germany ,Italy ,France and now of course england.Well done Spain,well desrved and a worthy champion.
Lamin Yamaal is one of the top 3 best players in the world after thid Euros. Everytime he touched the ball something special happened. Incredible player
64% ball possession for Spain. Make no mistake, Spain still plays the same type of football but now has more variations and two absolutely fantastic wingers
@@xalau5270 possession is no longer the purpose for the Spanish side and that is actually a good thing. Despite what stats say, Spain has adopted a more aggressive and goal centric approach
@@kaushikhegde8227 variations of the same idea, to control games by having the ball, high pressure on rivals and positioning of the players on the pitch
hahaha thank you Spain you saved football ..england got there on pure luck.. time to change its coming home..it never will. cannot call what England play as football!!!Worry about haircuts, wags and bonuses. The EPL is great due to the foreign players that make the english player look good !!!
@@jacobknock6559 becuz one is a system player surrounded by world class players, one is an overrated average clunky player with a huge PR and the other is an overhyped Striker who just bully small teams
@@jacobknock6559 England don’t produce very good players. Just the way it is and has been for a very long time now. You lack imagination & mental toughness. Foreign players have been propping you lot up for years
You guys expect what SOuthgate or the English can't give. All the "special" players in the English squad that you mentioned (Palmer, Bellingham, Saka etc) are all coached by spaniards or foreigners so it is natural for the Spaniards to play good football because Spain have the DNA, irrespective of the clubs / leagues they play in or age of the players. Can't wait to see the Spaniards battle Argentina ... Another spectacle!
Tea and milk finally came home as England got Kaned 😂😂😂😂. Lamine Yamal doing school homework has more Trophies than England's penalty merchant Sir Kane Of Penaltyham 😂
Kane needs to talk to pick Ford on advice on getting the ball, England play like their worried, I wonder what kanes GPS tracker, said walking, trotting running , and how many km overall,
There wasn't much between the teams, it came down to bravery on the ball, Spain had it when the game was 1-1 in the second half. They had the confidence to play where as England only showed bravery when losing the game 1-0 and 2-1, to win you need to show a tough mentality NOT LOOK LIKE A TEAM SCARED TO LOSE.
Umm, Yes. Your players are jokes.! Easiest draw EVER (3 in a row now). Still couldn’t beat counties that are barely heard off. And got a right THRASHING from Spain. Exactly what was expected.
Are you HIGH??? Spain had like 70% of the ball possession & were ridiculously skilled at passing/touches etc. They ran rings around England and showed them up for the Over hyped, below average side/players that they are. Pickford saved further humiliation for England & should thank him the score didn’t end at 4-1 minimum.!!
Yeah.., lol. That’s the difference. Not that they are light years ahead a below, over hyped garbage team like England. They shouldn’t have been anywhere near the final. And wouldn’t have been if they weren’t so extremely lucky with the EASIEST draw, Slovakia & Non - penalty against Holland. Forget what would’ve happened if they were in the other side of the draw. Never would’ve made it out of the group stages. Germany vs Spain was the true final. They should’ve been the runners up. Not JOKE ENGLANd.!!
I remember one moment when Williams bullied Saka, his confidence had reached the sky while Saka was shaking. That says it all, the Spaniards are confidence, ruthless, fearless.
Spain outclassed England. England just proved they have No worldclass players all this overhype. I as an arsenal fan was shocked of how saka and rice been this tournament
I can see Spain being genuine challengers for winning major tournaments for a while now. Gutted for England, but we had a lucky side of the draw and just didn't have what it takes against a quality side like Spain.
Slovakia / Slovenia / Serbia / Denmark / Switzerland / Netherlands....only Netherlands ranked among the first 10 after that it is 19 and down to 50. Easy opponents until facing a top 5 team in the final.
@@manatnew it's a fair call,how ironic ,everything fell into place,draw wise, the simple reality is as always ,we really are overrated, overhyped, good players ,just not good enough players,just don't use the words world class,when referring to certain players,it becomes a little embarrassing. Messi Ronaldo Pele Maradona Cruyff, puts it into perspective.
@stephenhuston2780 PL's issue is that there are soooo many first class foreign players who make the teams better and the league more attractive. When these foreign players are missing, as in the national team, the picture is a bit different.
Southgate said Kane was not quite fit and yet he played him all the games and each game Kane continued to labor agonizingly like a 45 year old on the field but he still played so many useless minutes.?????????
Si te fijaras bien, verías que Morata trabaja cómo un condenado presionando a los defensas haciendo del delantero centro el primer defensor y fruto de su trabajo los extremos tienen espacios y los interiores también. Que no todo es marcar goles.
How people expected England to win? We need to see how they reached here. Look at the quality, agility, ball controll, one to one of each spanish from the begining of the tournament. Can you compare the two how they arrived?
España jugó un torneo fantástico, fue la única selección que jugó fútbol de verdad, ganó 7 partidos de 7, increíble!! Creó que España tiene una selección para ganar grandes torneos más como el próximo mundial y la siguiente eurocopa! ¿Estos jugadores podrán lograr repetir los logros del 2008, 2010 y 2012? Seguramente Si!!!!
Yes they will, same old same old. France knocked them out of the WC quarter final, and for some reason they were confident of winning the EC. Spain has beaten them in the EC final, and they will be confident of winning the WC 2026. The delusion and arrogance is disturbing
The midfield of Spain is so good and so strong, while England didnt even know who their midfield was till game 3! Foden is useless, Kane was poor, Southgate trying to fit them all is not how a team functions, Spain everyone fits well, everyone is pumped and strong on and off the ball, and a squad full of talent all over that know their role!!
Gordon played 4 minutes all tournament, let that settle in. Gordon has got the most assists and goals in Europe's top league's and scored against all of the top 6 only player to do it in prem history..
I watched this final as a neutral fan, but being Italian I always find it hard to sympathize for England (nothing against the player, it's mainly due to arrogance of their fans). That said, when people criticize England's "conservative" approach to big international matches nobody considers this aspect: english players are constantly under an insane amount of pressure, because of the lack of trophies and fan culture, and I think that the pressure builds up even more when the squad is good/favorite to win. Most of the starting 11 play in incredible teams and are used to dominating games, yet they don't show that same confidence when playing for the national team. While I don't think Southgate is a great manager, blaming him for the players' attitude is not entirely fair. There's clearly a mental block, due to the pressure these guys feel when they play internationally.
Mate blame the manager not the players. Maybe Kane is the exception to an extent but the way the team is formed does not suit kanes play one bit. Southgate’s decisions have been bizarre
@@benedictafiemo7989 exactly now is it true he has the second best history for an England manager yes but they’ve had the easiest routes through for the last 2 euros. We need someone who can coach world class football klopp wouldn’t be a bad shout
Are you actually joking.!! The Players are SHIT, & OVERHYPED.!! No where near World class level. Change all the managers you want. But it’s the players who have to PLAY, & they’re simply not good enough.! No where near world class.
And don’t forget that England had easy parts to the 2018 World Cup semi final and the 2020, 2024 Euro finals. The only time they played a top team enroute to the final was against France in the 2022 WC quarter finals and England duly went home early
Hahahaha..!!! Best squad .??? Says who .??! Self - proclaimed as always. England players are NOT GOOD ENOUGH.!! Spanish teenagers/young players ran rings around your so called squad. Where the hell Was the over hyped Jude Bellingham .?? So -called Best player in the world .??! Hahahaha .! Don’t make me laugh.!! It’s English media giving these below average players such titles.! What a joke.
España espectacular equipo...los ingleses con un equipo individualmente mejor, juegan como cobardes llenos de miedo. Si no van a buscar el partido, terminarás perdiendo. Y lo de Kane está para hacer una serie en Netflix. 😘😘😘
Dude, shut your trap, this team are not cowards, and no True English man is either…. Spain played as a team and that is that, I would love you to call any Englishman a coward to their face…. Sir Francis Drake showed you that a few years back
No es cierto que Inglaterra tenga mejores jugadores que España, más fama y marketing si, pero en la práctica NO , por ejemplo , en Inglaterra tienen a uno mejor que Rodri en su puesto??? En Inglaterra tienen a uno mejor que Yamal en su puesto? En Inglaterra tienen a uno mejor que Olmo en su puesto?? En Inglaterra tienen a uno mejor que Fabián en su puesto?? En Inglaterra tienen a uno mejor que Nico Williams en su puesto? Etc, La respuesta es NO, por lo tanto tanto a nivel colectivo como individualmente España es mejor que Inglaterra…
As a Spaniard I'm happy for the victory but I feel that England needs to win something soon. I grew up watching the PL and I'm surprised at how Southgate got decent better results than previous managers, but made the team play horribly, like they were a 3rd tier team wasting brilliant players like Palmer and Foden. He tried to play like Greece in 2004 but he failed once more
@@tigreblanco7170 Si hubiera sido solo contra España vale,pero solo se ha atrevido contra selecciones más modestas y contra los grandes parecen estatuas. El fútbol inglés es rápido y ofensivo, no un muermo como el de Southgate
I’m OK with not winning it; I just wanted to see us express ourselves on the pitch, and hold our own against the top 4 teams. We’ve never looked like we’re at that level, despite all of the individual quality on display. It’s the manner of the performances, the defensiveness, the absolute insistence on playing players due to loyalty over form, and the refusal to change things up when it’s clearly not working. If he sticks around, i wont be watching England anymore, sorry. It’s too difficult on the eye and bad for my stress levels. I’m ok with losing, but i cant accept this level of managerial incompetence
España ha hecho también historia en las Eurocopas, le ha ganado a Croacia, Italia, Alemania y Inglaterra, hay queda eso 😊😊😊 ,otra cosa se imaginan ustedes a Inglaterra estrenada por Pep Guardiola, 😊 campeones seguro, Inglaterra tiene un magnífico equipo
Why don't England just play long ball football? We pretend to pass the ball around and eventually hoof it forward once a small amount of pressure is applied.
Southgate has to manage the fact that English football season is much longer than other countries in Europe. Puts them at a disadvantage. Other reason England lost to Spain is that Spain’s league is more based upon passing and keep ball. A real depth of talent always with Spain due to their youth system.
One for the record guys,... Luke Shaw, was bloody outstanding last night ..he was fighting his heart out last night , while Kane and Bellingham were a huge handicap for the entire team. These 2 should be booted out!! What can I say about Palmer, F***n Outstanding would be bang on! Southgate had loads of other great players he never used , unbelievable!!! Foden was also bloody awesome!! Saka, I just love this guy he always plays every game at the top of his game last night he ran his legs off while Kane and Bellingham failed him !!! That was terrible! Overall, England coming 2nd was a lucky result... considering the lackluster performance but I blame this totally on bloody Southgate!!! England need to bring on new young blood who are Hungry to win win win , so first let's get a new manager like Harry R. Never mind there will be another day to fight Spain but first let's get a hell of a team together that's plays as one like Spain!!!! Congratulations to Spain they were truly outstanding winners 🏆 🏆 🏆 a wonderful young new team brilliantly tuned .. astonishing passing, and a natural wining team. It's only a game of football! 😄👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
England don’t hold possession because as a country they coach players to hold possession and to be technical. They train them to move the ball fast and quickly. The prioritise young players who are tall, strong and quick. They do not prioritise technical players at all. That’s a big reason why they don’t hold possession with purpose. Also England very rarely produce players that can dictate games like Rodri, Xavi, iniesta, fabregas that can dictate games. If a team wants to control the game they need players on a technical level that can control the game. Rice is a typical English midfielder who’s box to box but struggles technically unless he’s surrounded by technical like he is at arsenal.
England usual problem. Tendency to pick names irrespective of form or condition. Southgate picking Kane continually wasn't brave enough from a manager. He has been off the whole tournament yet is still the first name on the sheet. That's poor weak management that limited the way the team could play. That said, Spain deserved their win best team in the competition.
England 1 Spain 2 the aftermath. They think its all over, it is now . England did the best they could against a brilliant silky spainish team. Southgate and the England players can hold their heads high. However there's an old saying, victory has many fathers and sisters but defeats an orphan.
