Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final

[Gazza]

Absolutely horrendous in possession, makes you think Arsenal will be limited there moving forward.

He's so slow.

 

[eyalluvitt]

I thought he was poor. But not the only one.

Stones and Walker on the other hand were very good.

They were good but culpable for a goal each

 

[jimharri]

Is that in Scotland?

It's in the outer Hebrides.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Vinicius or Bellend will win the Ballon D’Or undeservedly but quite frankly Rodri is the best player in the world by a comfortable margin.

The only debate is about who the second best player is.

Rodri’s the best by a fucking mile.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Welldone Spain, great team, and deserved win.

My take.

Southgate tries to fit these players to his system and style when he should be playing to their strengths.
England do not work hard enough out of possession, either in the press, the tackle, or the tracking.
Pickford’s distribution is embarrassing and was the reason for most of the pressure leading to Spain second goal.
Bellingham is not as good as he or the media make out.
Southgate’s low block in this game allowed Spain to control the ball for most of the second half and he couldn’t solve the puzzle of how to orchestrate a breakout.
Subs were used too late.
Kane is past it and should have been used sparingly in the comp
Southgate should have been experimenting with his attacking players in the lead up to this tournament and had a few different options to use in particular circumstances.

It’s no disgrace to get beat by Spain and tonight gave it our best shot.

A case of what might have been …pace was our weapon which we didn’t use enough.

[Bluemanc100]

We've seen the good and bad from Pickford too. Doesn't have Eddy's composure.

He’s the worst keeper I’ve ever seen in an England shirt…

 

[remember arthur mann]

Another stormer by LaPorte.

 

[heslops barnet]

They were good but culpable for a goal each

Behave

 

[I'm Blue]

Wonder if the England players are still friends.
Thanks waistcoat.

 

[M Gaudino]

why do we have to have identical trophy presentations now on the pitch with some plastic stage, backdrop and fucking firework nonsense. Bring back the step climb because these all look EXACTLY the same.

 

[lust overlord]

Ah well.
Came up short against a good Spanish side.
Can't be arsed digging individual players out.
Southgate thanks,but that's yer lot.

 

[marco]

SOUTHGATE OUT !!!

thank fuck its not now Sir Gareth, see there is always a good ending somewhere

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

In the 181 minutes he played across both the Euro 2020 and 2024 finals, England captain Harry Kane had just one shot, one touch in the opposition box and had just 58 touches of the ball.

 

[M Gaudino]

Shout out to Jesus Navas one of the most decorated players of all time

 

[jonah62]

Football was the winner
The Gods decreed it

 

[Bluemanc100]

Bellingham milking it for all it’s worth now.

He’s an absolute fraud

 

[jollylescott]

It still astounds me that no top European team wanted Laporte. He's a great player

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Thought the election went badly?

The golf much better!
