Good effort England, but Spain played great tonight and through the tournament. Well done them.
Final | Spain vs England
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
Settle down. We took pelters when we limped out, now it’s your time to take some pelters.
Kane is cursed
Well done Spain, deserved winners tonight and overall for the tourney.
Spain the better team, playing Kane was a terrible decision and the better team got the deserved win.
Tactics were awful.

Some respect needs to be put on Cucu’s name. Was fantastic to end the season for Chelsea during our winning run and has been the best fullback at the Euro’s.
Americans and the whole world right alongside
Just retreating into a shell after Palmer scored, and having now answer for Spain's possessionball cost us.
Hopefully no more Kane now. He's just not cut out for this team anymore.

Englands “best” players totally missing again. Foden, Kane, Bellingham largely missing.
By the king of Spain
Southgate will say “Well, the players will be the ones who take all the blame for that performance, we were nowhere to be seen and quite frankly awful but it’s my job as manager to protect them from that and I’ve got broad shoulders so I have to take that blame for them”.
That 2nd goal is such a classic England knocked out of a major tournament moment.
Don't really like Spain and England actually deserved a trophy eventually. However, ith so many talented players you don't need to play such negative football.
At least the team that played football won.
Congratulation to Spain. 7 games 7 wins. That's a first.

Can tell United are a global team. England fans in the minority in here!
Fecking hell that's uncannyFoden seen crying after the whistle.
You would. Every time he allows your players to attack you score amazing goals.
I really want to see this England team with a positive manager
That Spanish second goal is on Southgate. Shaw was screaming for them to make a change as Foden was wandering away and leaving him to cover 2 Spanish players.
He even ran over to the bench and Gareth still did nothing. The backline just started running for the hills and lost all discipline.
At least that means an end to Southgate's reign of error!

If you concede possession as we did. You play for the counter attack. You use a mobile CF. It's just crap tactics.
Spain simply better, England had moments but you need goals from them moments. Congrats Spain, commiserations England
What a pathetic England display though. Were basically never on the front foot and should have profited from a Rodri-less Spain in the 2nd half.
Absolutely pathetic.
Absolutely pathetic.
Best team won, they have a bit of everything so it's very hard to stop them. England never really got the formation right and always looked miles better with Palmer on.
New six-year contract for Southgate!
Nightmare fuel. Better don't feck about Erik.I wonder whom he will be managing next
Wooooooooooo!!!!!
The best team of the Euros won. England only with a couple of good minutes wasn't enough of to beat them. Congrats Spain on a deserved title.
Gotta hand it to him
The proof it was onside has already been posted to you. Come off it
Yes. The longer that clowns in charge of England the chances of them winning anything is greatly reduced. A competent manager might actually get this group of players over the line.
Deserved winners. Well done Spain. England did well to keep it tight.
Football should be about winning, not trying not to lose.
A proactive manager could have kept the momentum at 1-1, but no, Southgate just did nothing. As always.
Foden basically didn't touch the ball or press from the equaliser until he was subbed on the 89th. Was clearly utterly done. But left out there.

Definitley not, the Italy final was there to be won and we threw it away with the most negative mindset after going 1-0 in 2 mins and having the Italians completely rattled. Spain were the better team here and we were barely hanging on for large portions of the 2nd half.
That he chose to persist with Kane when it was clear he had nothing to offer is probably the single biggest reason England were as shit as they were.
Shaw had the kid under control, Walker has been bad, not taking another LB was the really bad decision.
We've played within ourselves and got to the final and Spain only just squeaked it. Change of manager, we're not that far away.
Don't know where you from but anyway Spain won all their games. So can't be.
Georgia gave them more of a game.
