Jules is such a hypocrite criticizing Ronaldo for not pressing and acting like that's the end all be all for Portugal but making excuses for Mbappe and down playing it's importance 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lucap6211]

Jules is a clown and always so blatantly biased towards France. Guy is a clown 🤡

[@Dane.Martel]

Espn is sponsored by messi and anti ronaldo

[@AshleyWhatley-mh1yl]

Sorry guys but that's nonsense. France and Portugal are ahead of England. Their squads are more complete, certainly more cohesive and they don't struggle with their identity. Both know who they are and what their style is.

[@AshleyWhatley-mh1yl]

My England side is, Pickford, Walker, Kinda, Guei, Gomez, Wharton (DMC playmaker), Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Kane and Gordon.

[@esorkinc4011]

Don’t forget England was favourite for every tournament since 1966 😂

[@sol2701]

Why do none professional football fans think 🤔 they really understand the game because they support a team or country - fact is there are 4 string favourites and I’m sorry but it’s England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 France 🇫🇷 Portugal 🇵🇹 Germany 🇩🇪 who are the main players, but again anyone can win it right?!?! But shut up 🤫- England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 are coming to win not just miss a penalty and lose , we coming with young hungry lions 🦁 🦁🦁

[@Matt-ou7tu]

​@esorkinc4011 no they weren't.

[@AshleyWhatley-mh1yl]

@@sol2701 "non professional"? and a fan at that? I played the game for nigh-on twenty years, I have the eye sight of someone in their 20's, and have been devouring the sport since 1988. So when I say choosing a side requires the right players in their natural position and this aids cohesion, perhaps you should take this obvious point as gospel? That's enough of bigging myself up, my dog's not going to walk himself.

[@nevarran]

Juls wearing a shirt his size? We're getting serious here.

[@jjrobiso]

We need full video episodes all the time.

[@propagandatwo]

It's teamwork not talent that wins the groups. The last few tournaments have shown that. These analysts are all clueless and starry-eyed over the primadonnas.

[@Gg-wn1fh]

Espn am getting disappointed with you guys look how much teams at the euro and every day it's England you guys talk about

[@Yatesy1997]

Gab is absolutely clueless

[@JohnDoe-xz1mw]

only have way through and already very much agree, dont know the history but feels like has another sport as his main focus and just brought in to fill in or something.

[@jasonallen6081]

And he's made a career out of it.

[@cianog]

Italy has a lot of potential in their defence.

[@encoenterprises9072]

Hungary will surprise everyone and finish second.

[@MultiBurger1]

Hungary are still really good They finish 2nd or even 1st in their group

[@yoshiwoollyworld]

I read this as “finish second in their group” did you mean runners up more?

[@Kevon420]

Yes, just behind Scotland.

[@Hyde_Hill]

Actually surprised how much credit Jules gave Koeman. Glad he watched the friendlies. As Gab was really disrespectful due to lack of knowledge, and they give him too much flak sometimes. He is not perfect but the amount of flack he gets is disproportionate.

[@stefanstefanescu3202]

With Courtois Belgium are in the conversation.. You guys are comedians.. 😂😂😂

[@jacobharms7043]

The Dutch is the dark horse to go all the way.

[@AshleyWhatley-mh1yl]

Very true, Holland's backline could provide a great platform for their attacking talent.

[@kobenoyashi531]

I thought that before Frenkie went out. Without him I don’t see it all coming together.

[@garycarey9376]

They’re really not, underperform every major tournament and just lost two of the best players to injury

[@martin84]

If it's about the Euro's the Netherlands overall had better results than England.

[@edavis6077]

Not without Koopmeiners and FDJ

[@marcoa7263]

The whole 26 player squad doesn't make sense due to players being left out of drills is nonsense. There are so many variations of drills that accommodating extras players is not a big deal. Now if you don't have enough, that's a real problem

[@lesgourlay6240]

Portugal as a dark horse outside of the favourites. France and England

[@merely_aida]

naming England is a tad bit delusional

[@serialkilla23]

so the whole of england dont have a left back? ...that an injured shaw for half a year is better than everyone else????

[@Geohillierneo]

Back in the day, England always struggled for left midfielders. Most squads in a competition have a glaring weakness in at least one position.

[@CharlesDarkson]

Once upon a time we struggled for left footed players, now they all want to be inverted right wingers.

[@matthewgriffith2465]

Retegui and Zaccagni are good Gab c'mon😊

[@ilcarcerieredimauri79]

I think retegui is 1 of the best penalty box strikers in europe. He only suffered because Genoa are not a top team who do not create many chances. Does he do a lot else other than score? Not really but all italia need is someone like him who gets 1 chance and scores. Scamacca is a much better overall player but his finishing is not the best. I do agree with Gab about Zaccagni however 😂

[@matthewgriffith2465]

@@ilcarcerieredimauri79 IO DICO RISPETTO PER ZACCAGNI!!! Just circling back to this following one of the goals of the tournament so far :)

Trust me,DeBruyne I’d not upset Courtois is not there..iykyk

[@richardhenderson1902]

Favourites by the English bookmakers

[@Geohillierneo]

No one in the English media have us as favourites..... the bookmakers do that because its the smartest business move for them and makes them the most money,. Most people from England will want to place a bet on their country, the bookies know that, so they make them favourites and slash the odds. Its not rocket science

[@benjaminarends8964]

I think we should be talking about Frimpong for the Dutch. He just scored his first goal for the team, only a few caps and he looks ready to make a huge impact off his undefeated season with leverkusen

[@alp_96]

Hungary will advance maybe as the nr 1 in the group ,you will see

[@Concernedworldcitizen]

They looked very ordinary losing to a poor Ireland team

[@alp_96]

So What may i reminder who lost to Saudi Arabia in the World Cup and went all the way?

[@alp_96]

Remind you*

[@marianainfantevillarroel3446]

Southgate brought an "extra" player because Luke Shaw is injured but may be fit for later stages of the tournament

[@Funtimes874]

Good show

[@alimul642]

That thumbnail 😂😂😂

[@ibrahimwaka3916]

They always start as favorites and depecriate when going for the crunch

[@EpicGammingCrew]

I wouldn’t count out Slovenia. A star goalkeeper and a star forward is sometimes all you need to get out of the groups

[@Lumbardh84]

Comprehensive analysis. I was expecting a Broja shout out from the Chelsea fan, the dark horse of Albania may just come back to bite Gabs.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

The microphone noise is very annoying

[@davidebonetto242]

From 30 minutes and 30 seconds, they talk nonsense. It's not 11 vs 11, guys... have you ever played football? There are 10 players plus a goalkeeper. So, by that logic, you would only need to bring 20 players plus goalkeepers for it to be correct.

[@soloa24]

I am not going to lie, when I hear Jules say “Mbappe doesn’t want to defend, so Deschamps will put him in the penalty area to score.” I expected him to say the exact opposite about Ronaldo and he did. A typical Ronaldo hater.😂

[@marco7551]

22 outfield players has 2 players off the field and 23 has 3 players off in 11v11, dude on the right is hyperfixating on random stuff.

[@TT-fq7pl]

Morata's handsome? How does THAT help him score goals?

[@darhaha3391]

What happened to Gerard Moreno...???

[@princekarabo6085]

I repeat England will be 3rd in the group and still qualify for the knockouts

[@merely_aida]

very possible. and then get knocked out immediately

[@olivercox61]

No 😂

[@TT-fq7pl]

First in the group. And easily.

[@ABit2Hot]

England to go out in last 16

[@Davies1048]

I say the group stage

[@TT-fq7pl]

That would be nice, but I highly doubt it.

[@TT-fq7pl]

@@Davies1048 Not a chance. Very easy group.

[@felixmagath1471]

Why does Gab get so much hate? It's fine if you disagree with him but it seems a bit harsh to define "clueless" a guy who's been a football pundit for over 20 years

[@michaelcox8820]

‘Blues skies over London’? Am I living in an alternative reality?

[@Lioness_UTV]

I support England but they should not be favs. France should and are. The hunt first pack are: England, Portugal, Germany and Spain... Dark horses: Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Denmark.

[@user-qf7lh6uk9i]

I’ve seen many videos and Jules is a fan boy. Mbappe doesn’t press or track back either. People who have been following football for a while know that Di Maria, Suarez, Benzema, Henry, Lewandoski were all better than Mbappe in their prime, far more technically superior. Shouldn’t even be compared with Messi or Ronaldo

[@nduvho9199]

Juls can you please rock Bafana Bafana 2010 Jersey or 1996

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

For me France and Italy are the favourites with the Italians winning the tournament.

[@Vilutusk]

Well you’re wrong. Italy are so far from favourites that’s a ridiculous comment

[@Karma2Babylon]

Only one team has defended the euro crown and they did it during a period of dominance rarely seen in international football. Do you think Italy are on the level of that team?

[@bigbernie7260]

[@TT-fq7pl]

Have you ever noticed how many people watch ESPN and then complain endlessly about its quality? Just don't watch!

[@stefanstefanescu3202]

@@TT-fq7pl I don't agree with not watching. ESPN comes with a lot of news and topics that are basically interesting to watch and sometimes pretty decent. They have a few good "actors" with football knowledge. So I watch regularly to find some of the good. Unfortunately it's mostly these guys with poor careers, from a different era just talking football for the sake of it, talking gibberish. And that's when I criticize.

[@christophergoncalvesmelo65]

Hahahahh gab is such a clueless football ”expert”

[@bigceazer]

England favourites when they've won nothing in 58 years??? in comparison to the following nations below: Spain Euro winners in 08', WC winners 10' & Euro winners again in 12'. a 3peat of tournament victories back to back. Germany WC winners in 14' & FIFA confederations cup 17 France WC winners in 18' and UEFA Nations league 2021 Portugal Euro winners 16' Italy Euro winners 20' don't wanna hear anything about "engurland" being favourites. 😒🙄

[@TT-fq7pl]

Ancient history. We can only live in the NOW. Perhaps England is due to win?

[@mingulay29]

Roberto Martinez showed at Everton, then at Belgium that he talks a great talk but along with Southgate one of the worst tacticians around. He did win an FA cup but got relegated at the same time.
