How England's Golden Generations FAILED Miserably

[@louisjwiese5515]

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.

[@NeilLewis77]

yet all the brilliant teams have brilliant players. not a single succesful international team has achieved anything without super stars except for that one greek team for 6 games. every single one of the past 22 world cup winning teams have had super stars.

[@lorenzoFCIM1908]

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.

[@hessen5498]

Thats Not the Problem in the slightest. Just a myth

[@lorenzoFCIM1908]

Tuchel could actually be the man to win a trophy for England. See, winning trophies, which are played for in around 5 games, does not require you to have a golden generation. It just needs a cohesive team packed with players with strong mindsets. and, of course, who are willing to go to the mad with opponents when need be. and who is better to inculcate that, other than Tuchel? I believe that is how Argentina won the 2022 worlcup. And actually, that is how italy won euros vs. a far better england team than they were back in 2020.

[@Dee-jd8vc]

Yeah. Argentina doesn't have that many superstar player. They also lost many important matches on penalties. But the team right now are hungry for a win, have high fighting spirit, a cohesive team, and a good goalkeeper on penalties. England need to work on that mindset for the future.

[@revolusimelayu]

Tuchel can win FA cup for England 😂

[@NkosanaMakhubele]

​@@Dee-jd8vc I'm rooting for them and I'm not English😂

[@Al-ji4gd]

but that's the thing, WERE they far batter? Italy had the best goalkeeper, Italy had the two best defenders, Italy had the best midfielder in Verratti and Barella. The only thing England had was Harry Kane.

[@adammac4960]

I think the problem with England is the media and the expectation. I don’t think any other team in the world gets as much pressure from the fans and media as the England players. Like Sven said. In Italy he was judged only by his football. In England your life gets torn apart both private and professional. Like what the f*ck has affairs got to do with football? Too much political bullsh*t for a team that hasn’t won a trophy since 1966.

[@bonfacemarube6196]

I couldnt agree more.

[@philipjohn1254]

I will always say that Euro 2004 was the one that got away for that generation. So many what ifs in the Portugal QF - what if Rooney had not gone off injured, what if Campbell's late goal had counted, what if Beckham had scored his penalty.

[@johnthompson457]

Agreed. Although in euro 96 they were Gazza’s stud away from being immortal.

[@Li8mBenz]

Did Campbell score a late goal in this one? He scored a golden goal against Argentina in 98 but it was disallowed

[@philipjohn1254]

You could of told us this 20 years ago

[@Souru_TV]

Ya know as a german, if england actually won anything it would be a two sided blade. On one hand englnd win something, which we well don't really want. On the other hand if Tuchel won them something it would mean it took a german to do something an english man couldn't. I really don't know, if i would rather them not win anything and be in anyway extremely obnoxious or if i want them to win so i can ruin it for them by reminding them of the fact that a german was responsible.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Portugal were the better team after Rooney Went off injured on 24 minutes. Rooney was the stand out player the focus player in attack who made things happen scored goals had great pace and skill and vision. We couldn’t build on the Momentum after Rooney went off injured we missed him badly. Sol Campbell disallowed goal though that shouldn’t of been disallowed!

[@tristanwhite3472]

It was looking good in Euro 2004 for England but we still couldn’t beat the big teams we lost 2-1 against France in the group stage. A game we should have won!!

[@tristanwhite3472]

We lost against Portugal in Euro 2004 another strong team top quality players and they had a strong defence. We cant deal with it.

[@tristanwhite3472]

We really struggled after Rooney went off injured against Portugal we lacked that Spark in attack a player which made things happen that pace and vision creativity movement link up play. He was the main focus with England in attack.

[@itsabanglan]

Euro 2020 was really the one that got away. Playing at home and losing it on penalties was mighty close.

[@sagnikdey4880]

Very well explained!!

[@prasannabalaji1886]

Overlooking carrick was the biggest mistake, system over stars

[@behindthesmile1276]

@Al-ji4gd Carrick wasn't overrated.

[@JoePubliktv]

We. Always. Bottle it. The fans. The players. We were 1-0 up against Italy, at Wembley, in the final, 2020 euros, and you could hear a pin drop. We should have been rocking that stadium!!!! Just enjoy the occasion and support your team. Fuck the expectations

[@tristanwhite3472]

Great Video Thanks.

[@theslash9210]

Its funny actually not the biggest english fan but they always had the best shooters of the game right from the time of bobby charlton to steven gerrard and not to forget the best penalty expert matt le tissier ...still they often lose on penalties😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Shahwezz]

Not golden but iconic still better than toxic Belgium golden generation

[@sirmaster55]

Iconic? Belgium's victories at the last few WCs were far more relevant and iconic than any England run since 1966

[@Al-ji4gd]

Iconic for what? Being losers in every tournament? At least Belgium got to a World Cup semi-final, and that Belgium team would've wiped them floor with any England ''golden generation''.

[@Sparkledash1]

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.

[@prashantkhadka5085]

England's every player is over hyped Starting from Beckham They should have signed for Hollywood or compete in some fashion contest

[@jondickinson2864]

[@ConsigliereOne]

England still suffering from that goal that wasn't in 66. Definitely gotta right their wrongs from top to bottom to finally achieve success

[@tristanwhite3472]

The team could have been managed much better by Sven and we played a rigid 442. In 2006 against Portugal we played a 451 which was also the wrong system formation.

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

1996 was more so the Dutch falling under pressure than England outclassing them. Unlike most EPL fans who overhype and overrate their English players, I sometimes do the opposite. I'd never take majority of the English players over their Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Brazilian, Portuguese, Argentinian, etc, counterparts. For a country who tries to breathe football as their major sport, only a handful are exceptional and 1 or maybe 2 are worthy for GOAT conversations (Charlton, Moore, 🤷‍♂️). Gascoigne and Owen were big what-ifs, but that defers from reality of things. Harry Kane is a modern top player but a certain washed rooster club kept holding him back for many years with spider webs filling their cabinets. Belligham is special and that's why he's playing in a top club outside England, but he'll have a long way to go competing against many prodigies in his position. Even amongst managers, Bobby Robson was their last elite figure.

[@Al-ji4gd]

England making excuses for their own overhyped player yet again.

[@tristanwhite3472]

We definitely would have beaten Portugal in Euro 2004 if Rooney didn’t go off injured. And we propably would have beaten Portugal in 2006 as well if Rooney wasn’t sent off and we had no Michael Owen and Beakham went off injured.

[@juritsch1]

What a penalty from southgate. If you shoot like that you just don’t deserve it.

[@bonfacemarube6196]

I forsee the "curse" lingering into the far future as long as the English media and fanbase wont let the players be.

[@tristanwhite3472]

I would say the manager more than the players.

[@tristanwhite3472]

We couldn’t play as a team.

[@tristanwhite3472]

We had the best Players in 2004 & 2006 but collectively as a team they weren’t very good. It didn’t click it didn’t come together at all disjointed. Strong squad bad team.

[@NkosanaMakhubele]

England should win the World Cup in 2026 easily

[@nepysanie]

English fans and sports media need to be moderate about the expected result. After all, stop shitting on the footballers every time they lose. Lower your expectations and everything will work out. The founders of a sport are not obliged to win every tournament in it. Canadians do not always win at hockey, Norwegians do not always win at skiing. You just need to take it easier. P.S. In my opinion, England is the number one favorite at the next World Cup in 2026 in North America.

[@tristanwhite3472]

England should of won the Euros in 96.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Sven just expected the Players just to turn it on at the highest level World Cup Level without managing the team properly there was nothing on Tactics it was just go out there and play your best! No way of playing played individually. He was to reliant on the players ability he thought I have the best players I m going to win the World Cup we have a great chance. These players so poor together as a team didn’t bond didn’t tell looked disjointed didn’t work. Picked the best players but they weren’t good together as a team collectively couldn’t play good passing football kept loosing the ball couldn’t keep the ball for Long enough couldn’t create anything loosing the ball in the final 3rd. Just because you have the best squad doesn’t mean you have a good team that can play well together who can gell play good passing and moving football. Played bad football and couldn’t keep the ball long enough or create anything!
