EURO 2024 FINAL THREAD: SPAIN vs ENGLAND Sunday, July 14th, 8:00PM

[CrispinLA in Texas]

If England want to win tournaments just get the Spanish manager in.....how many chances did Spain have to score in the second half 

[jayfox26]

Don't really understand people saying the Spain squad isn't that good and ours is better. Rodri, Olmo, Ruiz, Yamal and Williams are all top class players. I think we often over hype our own and as good as some of them are at club level, some of them have been really poor. Kane, Bellingham, Rice, Foden have been nowhere near their club levels. And then you have Cucurella who hasn't been great for Chelsea but has been the best left back in the tournament. Spain always have a probably always will play better and more technical football than we do.

Well deserved Spain.

 

You know we'll never win anything, whatever 'it' is that teams like Spain have we seemingly don't have 'it'.

 

 

The 'it' in this case being ambitious tactics.

[Nalis]

Germany and Spain were probably the best two teams in this tournament and met in the quarters, and it took a late goal against the run of play to beat Germany in extra time. 

 

Spain deserve it of course, still think it wasn't a vintage tournament year in terms of the quality of teams.

Haha no way was it offside.

Agreed.

 

He deserves better than Everton.

He won’t get a top six side cos he doesn’t have the composure in possession that they all require 

[KFS]

Why did he all of a sudden go long ball more than the whole comp? Mark ****ing wright at Dorking Wanderes doesn’t even do that

[Sir Shep]

Please resign and get some one in who knows how to play the right players in the right positions,  all well and good winning most games but how many decent teams have we beaten? 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

England players look dejected.... awful for them.... Pickford crying ...for all his great save feel for him

I mean they literally showed that it was onside 

[winteriscoming]

Spain deserved it. Far too good for us. 
It was as if we’d settled for extra time when we equalized. Instead of pushing on and trying to get the winner.

No bottle 

woud rather go long and get everyone behind the ball than play out and beat the press cos it’s risky

Worst manager in history. Never been a more tactically clueless moron. Waste of oxygen.

The Germans got two controversial calls against Denmark. What's your point? I don't think there can be any doubt that Spain have been the best team in the tournament.

Well I agree,  

[Kp1984]

Winds me up how Spain play on front foot and with players we have we play negative. Starting to think we will never win a tournament in my life time

I really don’t get that decision - Spain had retreated and were there for the taking.

 

Just chance it for 5-10 minutes when you had the momentum… if you then want to close out until extra time via changes, fine… but don’t switch to a poor, passive 4-4-2.

Hes brainless. 

 

If he took over man city tomorrow he'd relegate them.
