they performed exactly how i expected... Southgate masterclass

[gslang]

Can we talk more about Spain? ESPN has the rights to La Liga, is their biggest broadcast rights in sport..

I honestly don’t see what’s so great about Bellingham. He practically ran cardio during knockouts in the EUROS and Champions League. Did not impact at all

[Bread_Garlichouse]

They did exactly what was expected.

Lost to the first quality side they faced.

[_AX]

Yamal showed Bellingham how to do the job by creating 16 chances and 4 assists

[ExtrovertedFullback]

England lost because Spain were a lot better.

[Law-ionk]

England always play with zero spite.I never ever see them rough up there opponent’s or get in their faces .This is an absolute must at the highest level .They are to soft/to nice

[darkenvoy]

Fully agree with Stevie here this team they were garbage throughout the entire tournament. Had they been placed on the other side of the draw they wpuldnt have even made it to the final. They were garbage and they deserved to lose. Spain were the better side period

[rayhelps]

Exactly.... this is not a TEAM...
but an overpaid, underwhelming collection of egos.

I haven't missed a single video as it relates to England postmortem😂. Back to back Euro final lost. Great to see

[matarrkebbeh]

As an England fan, I honestly think Jude is so overrated. I watched his last 15 games but didn't see anything to suggest he's as good as people say he is . He will get better but not world class YET.

From Opta - 23 - Since the 2002 UEFA Champions League final, Spanish teams and the Spanish national team have played in 23 major finals (Champions League, UEFA Cup, Europa League, World Cup, European Championship) against non-Spanish teams and won the trophy on all 23 occasions. Campeones.

10 of them against English opposition. Crazy stats!!

[Dr_Diaz]

England was just within my expectations. My expectations happen to be realistic. They actually over achieved by reaching the finals.

[rejiaudit]

All the experimenting should have been done before the tournament. Southgate had some great players in the bench, and he came to the tournament like he was not prepared

[jr]

the press keep feeding the egos. and in reply, the fans point the finger at the most humble servant of the team, Kane. lol. keep it up.

[Traveltheworld.]

So Bellingham is the lad to blame as Beckham after 1998 world cup 😂😂 and Saka, Rashford, sancho after 2020 Euro..there should be a lad to blame...ohh god this is England

[patrickokeeffe]

This is not the manager, this is England, why have you not won in 60 year (that was at home and you were lucky). You do not have a team, you and always did have a group of very gifted players. This is culture.

Uma equipa com muitas estrelas nunca tem sucesso! Para se alcançar uma vitória é necessária a cooperação de equipa, a sabedoria e experiência dos mais velhos com o vigor físico dos mais novos, e foi o que o selecionador espanhol fez! Onde só há estrelas todos têm a mania que são bons e só eles é que sabem, egos demasiado inflamados, onde não há espírito de equipa e cada um.quer desfilar a mania e a vaidade. Parabéns ao treinador espanhol que foi inteligente na construção da sua equipa e aos jogadores que souberam organizar-se e jogar no coletivo para alcançar o sucesso!

[chd]

It all comes down to the coach. Pep, sir alex, ancellotti won trophies because they are/were great coaches. Period

[kamal]

Let’s not blame foden 007 this is pure racism by the athletic pick on the black guy
