Ah well. The best team won. Spain are clearly the best team in this tournament by some distance and there is no shame in England losing to them. Phil did well all round but got taken off yet again. Johnny was immense and England's best player. The tactics again were too near yet again. Congratulations to Spain, especially Rodri.
Two finals. Twice we’ve had Europe’s best team on the ropes. Twice we’ve decided to let them off and play for penalties and have deserved to lose.
Spain were the best team, deserved to win. But if we were led by a manager with any tactical nous, the players we have suggest other teams shouldn’t come close to us.
This team could manage itself to a final but when it comes to the fine margins needed to win, you need a manager who can tell you when to push and when to drop off.
