The Most Disappointing Nation in Football History

This is the story of how the england national team failed to accomplish anything for nearly 60 years.

[xzl]

England is the perfect example of the saying "They are not a good team, they're just 11 good players playing together". Idk who said it but it's true

[louisjwiese]

A brilliant team does not necessarily necessitate brilliant players. You just need players that are good enough, but can fit together into a cohesive unit that works in a highly effective manner together.

[lorenzoFCIM]

The problem with England, is that they've always over hyped their players, only for them not to perform to thee high expectations they set for them.

[Zh-dyge]

Everyone who actually watched Euro 2024 would never thought this England team stand a chance against Spain

[Frankly_TM]

Overhyping their own players is the greatest mistake

[cheech]

Its not a curse, we just weren’t good enough, either, tactically or with ability. The last English coach to win a top flight league title in England, was Howard Wilkinson in the 1991- 1992 season with Leeds United, The Premier League will be 33 years old at the end of this season and no English manager has ever won that title. Kevin Keegan was the closest.

Only because England had a brilliant team on Paper in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, it doesn’t mean it’s all going to come together.

So the summary of this video...
England: We have probably the best team in the whole world.
2 Minutes later
England: Lost to penalty...

[Sparkledash]

As a german, i am always fascinated by Englands wish to get into a tournament, thinking that its their god given right to win the big one, because all their players play in the best league, meaning they are all automatically world class players.

Germany for example never won trophies because their team was full of world class players (with a few exceptions) but because of their team mentality. The team of 1996 was a good example. We had constant injury issues, but we still managed to win it, because of our unity and will to fight. There are no egos in the team.

[LeoDragon]

It’s not a curse, it’s a combination of over-expectation by the media and the inability of the players to handle the pressure, for whatever reason(s).

[noname-otvd]

It's ironic that the English make fun of Serie A and LaLiga for being "boring" and "slow" leagues, but those 2 leagues have produced World Cup and Euro Cup winners, something which England hasnt done since 1966😂

[rkgxpku]

A problem with England is that they have good players that are bad teammates.

[jokotri]

I still remember the choke. Instead of going home, it's going Rome

[hamzapetridis]

Spent this entire video listening the narrator tell us the next was actually going to be the golden generation.

[thequintanashow]

Here’s the deal. They THOUGHT it was a”golden” generation. In reality it wasn’t. Was just overhyped

[masonbutterfield]

They always think they deserve to win every cup. It’s insane.

[TOPTIERPODCAST]

Joe Cole had the best take. Patterns of play. It's mostly been individual brilliance with rare sightings of team fluidity that leads to chances.

They don't need a star at every position, they need the right fit at every position.

[markweimeia]

Calling Phil Foden best in the world 😅

[Lamebred.]

There is always huge pressure on certain players to carry the team and deliver. Gazza, Shearer, Beckham, Owen, Rooney, Kane, Foden Saka and Bellingham in Germany. If form continues the pressure Palmer will have at the next tournament will be outrageous.

[markdraycott]

I think we have a few problems to be honest,

- Media massively overhyping average players.

- Media massively over hyping the nation on expectations.

- Media totally destroying a player who makes a mistake (David James being mocked up as a donkey on the back of a newspaper is a prime example)

- Managers consistently trying to pick a team based on the biggest names and trying to make a formation work around them rather than picking a style/formation that suits English players and picking players that fit into this system.

- Player divisions between players due to them being from different clubs.
