Does Spain deserve to be favourites over England in UEFA Euro 2024 final? | Jay On SC

TSN Soccer analyst Kevin Kilbane joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss if Spain deserves to be the favourites heading into the UEFA Euro 2024 final, if England's experience in the UEFA Euro 2020 final will help put them over the line this time, and an X-factor for each team.

Spain has beat Croatia, Italy, Germany(home) and France. England needed a miracle to beat Slovakia, penalties to beat the Swiss and a dubious penalty/91 min goal to beat the Dutch, who lost 3-2 Austria to finish 3rd in their group. England played two extra time games and has 24 hrs less rest then the Spanish. It’s going to be similar 2012 final in which Italy had nothing left and lost 4-0. I predict Spain 3-1

It is not a question Spain are deserved favourites by a huge margin.

[brunoblatief]

Yes, they do. They deserve this whole tournament

I support Hispania from Greece

Given performance over the tournament it's Spain who are definitely the favourites. It's Spain's cup to lose as they got to the final beating opposition by putting the ball in the back of the net in open play. England got there playing a more tactical but far more boring game style parking the bus, winning on extra time goals & penalties.

If England click on the day they are well capable of beating Spain.
Spain go into this as most people's favourites. So the pressure is on them.
A toothless French team gave Spain lots of problems when they broke forward. England have many player's up front that can win you a game.
A lot of the game plans will be down to selection. If i were Southgate i would start with the players that finished the game against the Dutch.
Bench kane.

The way Spain plays it would be very difficult for any team to beat them but good fortune and luck has been on Englands side so anything is possible.

Interesting comments generally. But some points are being missed. Spain have payed the best football so far and deserve the plaudits. but England have the better squad and a very strong starting 11, which they are starting to do. This is going to be much closer than some of the ridiculous comments are saying.

[glakiteejit]

Spain have played against tougher teams and played better overall .
England got very lucky in most of their games..
Spain deserve the Win.

Media doesn’t mention a big fact that England hasn’t won a trophy in over 50 years and the KANE CURSE exist. Rodri is on a 100+ game unbeaten streak and harry kane trophyless all his career. SPAIN WINS 🇪🇸 🏆

[kernowarty]

I am a supporter of England but the truth of this Euro tournament is Spain have been the most outstanding team and England the least outstanding team. England also had an easy grouping. Imagine if we had had to play Spain, Italy, Germany or France in the early stages. We would have been home ages ago. It will take a miracle for us to be bringing home the trophy. It is a foregone conclusion that Spain will win.

[hardstylerawstylelover]

Spain is going to win and be the champions of Euro 2024. England it's not coming home. VAMOS ESPAÑA 🇪🇸

[fredbrandl]

Yes Spain should definitely be the favourite as they are playing the best football. Does this matter though? Probably not as England for sure will get another Penalty Kick.

[quitecolorist]

VAMOS ESPAÑA!! You’ve been consistent from the beginning

[emmasoul]

As a Mediterranean (Moroccan) we believe in bad eyes! I do support strongly our neighbour Spain
Please leave the Spanish team in peace
After they win the euro 2024 you can talk as long as you want lol 😊

[Iron-Bridge]

What do you mean 'deserve'? 🤣. Spain had the most difficult group with Croatia and Italy yet beat them both. Had to navigate hosts Germany in what should have been the final and just eliminated World Cup finalists France. Yes, they deserve to win. Unfortunately, the ball is round and there's an equal chance of England beating them in a one off final.

[dudosoros]

As Spanish, we respect England. It’s and amazing team with bad coach head. I cannot imagine this England with Guardiola or Ferguson.

But I think that we deserve this cup.

[SplitFinn]

I know it’s insane but I think England are going to really show up for this game. It won’t be as simple for Spain as people think.

[alin.]

Yes they deserve to win. They've shown they're the most capable

[mofokitkat]

Did he mistake his son's pants for his own and just thought, Ahh, these will do?
