THE DREAM IS OVER.

England have been beaten in the Euros final by a dazzling Spain team. Spain 2-1 England was a flattering scoreline for England who were second best throughout. Cole Palmer's equaliser was not enough for Gareth Southgate's men to find a way and sadly in Berlin England lost out second consecutive European Championship final.

Harry Kane is SELFISH for playing through injury. FFS we were essentially playing with 10 men all tournament. He also kept a player in Ollie Watkins who can run in behind and who had 32 goal contributions in the EPL on the bench. I also don't give a damn about Kane's 40+ goals with Bayern, considering the amount of quality service he has on his team and he is also playing in a weaker league than the premier league. He is the most overrated player of all time and has no silverware to show for it. Oftentimes, teams he has played for look better when he isn't playing. Ie. Spurs 2019 UCL campaign. If Southgate and Kane are out, England will be Champions in 2026. Also the fact that Jude Bellingham spent the majority of the match on the left handside does my absolute head in. Anthony Gordon was rotting on the bench all TOURNAMENT. Why was Southgate so reluctant to play Gordon. WHY did Phil Foden play a full 90 minutes when he was offering NOTHING ALL TOURNAMENT. How did Cole Palmer not get a single start in this tournament. Serious questions need to be asked and for the obvious favoritsm shown to certain players and the absolute waste of brilliant talents like Palmer, Gordon and Watkins who spent the majority of this tournament sitting on the sidelines when we were playing CRAP football.

Germany won the 2014 world cup but their record before that was: 2002 World Cup - lost in the final 2004 Euros - Out in the group stages 2006 World cup - lost in the semi-finals 2008 Euros - lost in the final 2010 World cup - lost in the semi-finals 2012 Euros - lost in the semi-finals 2014 World cup - winners Trust the process, it will happen soon, just need to keep learning the lessons and have the bravery to play the attacking football that we know these players can.

[@felipeyanez7786]

Don’t apologise about Southgate is a crap manager. Very lucky with the draws, it was painful to watch England. Not DNA not nothing….

[@dilan4123]

Have you ever thought that it may be you England fans, the arrogance, the delusion, the lack of football knowledge that plays a part in England falling short each time 😂😂

[@josire88]

Let’s be real now, Spain got rewarded for their incredible run! Being able to play the ‘mighty’ England in the final must have been a dream for them! Congrats Spain! Well deserved!

[@EliasRoy]

[@DRV110]

2016-2021 Improved hugely. 2021-2022 Stagnated 2022-2024 Gone backwards

[@AllanSmith-rl9rs]

we need a manager who doesn't play the media favourites

[@artbychristiansen3509]

You (England) have to stop all this, its coming home its coming home. Its starting to be pathetic.

[@skyrimplayer2335]

Are you finally going to come out and properly criticize Phil Foden who’s had half the team changed to “build side around him” only for him to be our top 3 worst players this tournament? Quite happy to criticise Cucurella and Kane lol

[@coleedwards7156]

Exactly fodens shite

[@rjaymurphy]

That England squad would have got the same results if the FA had told southgate to stay at home.

[@kingbacon6563]

England played like shit all tournament and only made it to the finals due to a favorable draw and some moments of brilliance from individual players. Spain whole-heartedly deserved that win yesterday and were the better team... yet England had a chance. Once again, past the 80th minute, they equalized, and for about 3-4 minutes, the Spain team looked rattled. England had the chance to steal a win from underneath their nose, yet instead of playing aggressive and going for a win in regulation, Southgate went right back to passive, defensive ball; almost like he wanted to just stall until penalties, and the Spanish team ceased their opportunity. It's a real shame for certain individuals who laid it all out there, but England & Southgate did not deserve this win. Hopefully this talented side can turn it around in time for the World Cup.

[@Akposnaldo]

You were apologising to Southgate just a few days ago 😂😊

[@ahmedthebassa]

I disagree with one big point. Morata going off didn't play into England's hands. Man was trash all tournament. He wasn't scoring.

[@EliasRoy]

True. What is guy talking about.

[@milindmatang]

when rodri went off zubemendi came in like for like quality replacement-- a payer 100 times better than 105 m midfielder who can't turn, who can't pass, dribbles into the space where he should be passing and turning back to make a back pass...only thing rice has mastered is getting himself marked in the match against quality side..

[@theochanmanunited7815]

England need a new coach who can raise the quality of tactic, transition.

[@saianurag2781]

'Deserves a knighthood'.... what are u on about mate!!!😂

[@connorjohnnn]

Spain were the best team in the tournament and won. There is no need for all the drama tbh. England should be proud of how they battled their way to the final because they sure didn’t get there with footballing prowess. Everyone should respect how Southgate turned England into an actual team who can be in the mix at major tournaments instead of the nonsense we were getting before. And now it’s time to move on with a new manager.

[@lukefreeman4281]

We were awful all tournament, absolute s#it team! We dont deserve anything at all. You will never win a tournament in modern times without a world class playmaker (a Kroos/Pirlo/Rodri), that can control the midfield, you just can’t.

[@unluckeeeee]

Kane needs a reality check... The FA golden boy who desperately needs dropping. He offers nothing to England.

[@12Hydrocarbon]

Rory, successful nations select players based on merit and skill. English management had players that didn’t belong in the first 11 for the entire tournament.

[@Barry-m6j]

Imagine if he stays and starts kane at 2026 .

[@rogerboniface8086]

Klopp is free... Southgate has never won a tin can as a manager. That's not going to change

[@Vinster511]

Honestly as a Liverpool fan if he would do it I would hope that if Gareth leaves the FA will approach Klopp. Gareth was the highest paid manager in the Euros so we know in regards to the FA money isn't a problem. We also know that talent is definitely not the problem either. When Klopp took over at Liverpool you felt the sense of quality in his managerial style amd he truly got the best out of players who weren't expensive amd new amd others like Salah who wasn't necessarily performing well with Chelsea and now look at him he is one of the most renowned goalscorer for the club and I would say is a top tier finisher in the Premier league and isn't even a striker. Klopp would be huge but he left the sport for his family not because he failed. I would think that the quality of players this England side has would have most managers eager to take on, but we need a new set of hands with a focus on positive football rather than this negative style of football of sitting back and defending and then attempting to capitalize on the counter. If we are going to stick with a negative style then a manager proficient in the roll like José Mourinho would be a better choice in my opinion.

[@kuroiuzu9754]

Heartbreak but we can't knock this one, we were decent but Spain are immaculate, it is what it is, was fun game at the very least

[@Maggi0561]

Here a Germany fan again; I think a three-man defense would have served you better. In the game against the Netherlands, at least for one half (the first time in the entire tournament), we saw how the transition between defense and offense with good build-up play could work. Even though I generally would have been happy for you to win the title, I am still glad that Spain won with a much more attractive and courageous style of football. It is bad for football when a team wins with destructive defensive play, because it is unattractive for the viewers.

[@Bobby.2000]

All true. But I will say, Italy have been doing that for decades and have won everything. England could have done with at least getting one trophy out of the last two euros. But I think building a team on defense requires great defenders and defensive midfielders, as well as a great goalie, but we don't really have that. Good and very good. But not truly great. Our strength right now is our midfield and especially wide players, so we need a system that plays to their strengths.

[@TrigTrag24]

The players didn't turn up cause they didn't get put in positions to do so, Forden Bellingham at the 10 and Kane makes no sense. Shaw played last in Feb and Playing a right back at left back killing any sort of width. Southgate needs to bow out.

[@Invisible_clouds]

To be fair not taking a left back that was fit wasn't a good call but it didn't cost us. We got to the final and Luke Shaw returned and played well in that match. It's not the same as forcing one of Bellingham or Foden to play on the left. Play Gordon, try Palmer or play the box midfield that worked in the one match he played and then never used again. Kane not being dropped was another big mistake, not seeing Walker can't delivery into the box on his 100 overlaps is a even bigger one

[@sethwilliams3118]

Ultimately, Southgate is a bad coach and his football is bad and he ran out of luck. His out of his depth

[@JAY21311]

You are absolutely right the G.Southgate is a good manager. Any other manager would NOT have taken England to TWO major Finals. So, please stop criticizing him for heaven's sake. Well done Spain🎉

[@beno1129]

Come on now. Southgate isn't the reason why England reached 2 Euro finals.

[@Dadada990]

At least now its 60 years of hurt in the next tournament and you can sing it's coming home again more properly 😅

[@williampthomas6100]

Going to lose my shit if Cucarella has one bad game and Rory thinks he’s trash. He’s proven for club and country that he’s a quality player. Poch ruined most of the chelsea squad and their confidence but hopefully cuca can take this momentum into next season.
