I would not say England "should" have won the tournament, but they "could" have with a decent manager, given the soft draw. The frustrating part is that no one knows what would have happened had someone else been given a chance with that squad. This Spain team was all over England, yet it is not a patch on the Spanish team of ten years ago - imagine how much Xavi, Iniesta, Ramos etc would have smashed a Southgate team by. Southgate was given an attack with the EPL, La Liga and Bundesliga players of the year, and had no idea what to do with them.

I wish people would stop blaming any of the players because it really wasn’t their fault - the problems go way back - known weaknesses in defence especially at CH - a failure to address that issue properly until just weeks before the Euros - a shortage of players who are naturally left-footed making the team un-balanced - no preferred starting eleven and structure - certain players and especially Kane have come in for unfair criticism but because we clearly had no structure that the players could adapt to - he had players continually playing into his space forcing him and the team deeper and deeper - a striker doesn’t score that number of goals in the Bundesliga and then become a bad player ffs - he has been and still is a WC striker yet unlike virtually any other decent HC in the World Southgate fails to get the best out of him and yet people blame Kane rather than Southgate - it’s just ridiculous - a decent HC would at least deal with the matter properly - either change the structure or drop Harry for Watkins who was much better suited to the system Southgate was using - which begs the question - did Southgate even know what system he was using - make him an Earl or something and put him in a castle somewhere - he is totally hopeless

Stop defending GS. He made bad decisions, he needs to own that and learn from it. He went into a tournament underprepared but with great players. Luckily those great players covered up his mistakes with moments of brilliance. the tactics were woeful. Fitting players in even if out of position or unfit. Relyin on an unfit Kane, bad idea. Not playing Runners with Kane, even though Gordon is on the bench. GS is a coach, he's done a lot of good but we need a tactically skilled manager not a coach on game day. Until The FA hire one, we are doomed to failure relying on underskilled coaches. Pep or Klopp would have won that with those players. He talks about no tournament experience, erm didn't some of those youngsters WIN the u21's last summer? Why not utilise that? Those players are used to playing together. Gordon was player of that tournament yet he got 4 mins. Reactive subs, too little too late. Palmer one of the best players in the PL and he's on the bench while an unfit Kane starts. There is so much wrong here but with boring negative no press football with players that play day in day out high press football, you're asking them to change their entire game. Spain proved today you can win playing attractive high press exciting football, because i certainly don't want to watch another negative tactic set up. Spain deserved the win. England were finding their feet in a bad tactical setup, too little too late. We are all saying the same things yet no coach in the England set up says any of it to GS? Is he that stubborn?

Get Klopp or Pep or Jose or Carlo. We need a serial winner boss to turn silver into gold. I was there in 1990 & 96. This is much better than a semi loss on pens. We mainly lost cuz we failed to sub on Trent. The only great long ball passer 3 🦁 have. Bobby Robson made the same mistake by not building his 1986 & 1990 teams around Hoddle Kobbie played poorly & Kane was brave but his injured back held him back. Guehi caused the 2nd Spain goal via a bad long ball turnover & pickfords saves were very good but his passing long balls were poor. U can't win big cups with 34% possession. U need at least 40%. Spain extra day of rest & fresh starters in Defence after yellow card bans made a big difference in aiding Spain.

Well the media will have their opinions and towards Southgate, who deserves respect! If he goes then he did his best, but not to the media level who are so knowledgeable and experienced as football managers. If the had such skills as a journalist wow!!

In year 1993 in Oymyakon (Siberia, Russia) was detected the lowest temperature, -67.7 Celsius degrees. Even in this case, it was higher than the temperature of the English chest players.

I hope the spanish people appreciate cucurella. He saved them from dropping out in the quarters

[@AG-sr6kl]

That is ridiculous, Engand 5 inches from leveling with Rce and Toneys header and an inch away with Stones knee to put the spanish player on offside. This momets diceded the outcome . We were just unlucky , though i admit that Kane played bellow his level and Gordon should have a chance to play in the second half

[@wolverinescratch]

England need a world class striker I'm talking about superstar levels someone who can change the game on it's own

[@maverick214]

All England ever do is choke and then come up with a myriad of excuses as to why they should have won the tournament. Spain were the best team in the competition and rightfully won, despite facing a much tougher group of opponents than England on their path to the final.

[@blackjackmaestro6505]

All that attacking talent, literally playing out of their skins this season, the manager made them all suffer his mind numbing keep ball shot shy football. It's a crime. I'm spurs, but was begging for palmer to play more, he's been absolutely on fire for months, gets benched. Gordon, benched, Watkins, benched, foden out of position, kane, no service. Even Bellingham ffs, a generational talent, under that trash manager,he was hindered. England should go all out for ancelloti, a true winner, man probably who would enjoy a less involved job

[@ADF86123]

Love Gareth to bits and he's been great at getting us to the big dance but now it's time to get someone who will let us dance.

[@jjmanning8621]

What's the score banging on about??? Southgate is an absolute Joker in the English media are soft as hell!! That's the great poet Kenny Powers once said they first or last. Get a real coach and an offensive minded one. The whole English coach experiment has failed miserably.

[@simonpaine2347]

As Captain Kane should be demanding more, from his team AND from the manager. It's simple. "Boss. This system is not working for me or the team. We need to change something. How about...."

[@gregnorth6413]

Mr Monta77, not sure why you made that comment as I didn't even imply that though plenty of others have. My point is that E need a dynamic leader to captain the side, probably based in midfield to drive the team forward. Kane, like all too strikers, has a single goal in life.Thede was no leadership yesterday.

[@Dr_Rig]

England punched above their weight and got to another final. Congratulations! The manager and his staff did another great job. Perhaps the media, pundits and fans could get a grip of themselves before, during and after tournaments and see what the rest of the football community can see. England have good players and are in the mix with several other nations. Thats all. Please welcome your team home with warm wishes and go again.

[@marykellie]

Kaveh you all said England are favorite even before the tournament start lol England England game is played in sport media over hyping thanks to Pickford if not him England will have loose that game 4:1

[@Carl-bg7er]

Kaveh... England's biggest cheerleader. Remember. Pundits, Commentators, Fan Clubs etc were all talking about England, Germany and France as favourites. But no one spoke about Spain as they were in transition. We have a wealth of talent but not as a team that understands tactics. And Safegate has no tactical brain whatsoever.

[@MrLegendra]

Gareth brought the team to the finals twice. He’s not going anywhere

[@MrLegendra]

@@92fc he’s terrible I agree but England FA board will keep him due to his tract record

[@JamesCM86]

He needs to go

[@JOSU_ARG]

​​@@MrLegendra As an Argentine I will be honest with you, Southgate is not specialized to coach a team as strong as you and he did not even coach the premier. Leaving Palmer out of the starting eleven and playing with three defenders shows that he is a losing coach. And I hope that no English club hires him because he will earn repudiation from any fans.

[@MrLegendra]

@@JOSU_ARG true

[@Rumpelstyltskin]

What top club would hire him?

[@zohaibchaudhri]

This guy is something else

[@iancruise6927]

Boregate will only be in demand as a defensive coach at a championship club

[@randyschwaggins]

Southgate has done an amazing job as 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 manager overall. I'm not joking...he took us from a disgraceful outfit that played like 💩 in major tournaments and didn't get further than the QF to an outfit that has played averagely but has made 2 finals, a SF and a QF in major tournaments. But he cannot take 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 any further than he has already imo...and it's in his and the team's interests that he steps down now.

[@FishingSGsWild]

doesnt matter the name of the country.. but the winners really deserves to win it as they were definitely a level better BUT both sides should all celebrate together after the final whistle.

[@ronaldoneil3272]

As predicted, it all went south..

[@shanemurphy8682]

Ppl in the comments attacking Harry Kane and Southgate.....Kyle walker was responsible for every single goal conceded in the tournament 😂😂😂

[@user-kg5vw6df7o]

SCOUSE NOT ENGLISH DOWN WITH THE CROWN CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 SPAIN 🇪🇸 GREAT TEAM GREAT FANS GREAT COUNTRY SCOUSE NOT ENGLISH

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

I promise you now in this comments section I will NEVER give up on football coming home never Roll on the 2026 World Cup we will be back

[@warrenlondon2426]

LOL wake up mate. England can’t even win a Euros. So what the hell makes you think they stand Any chance of winning a World Cup?! 😂😂😂

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

And I presume you're Scottish Irish or Walsh or German

[@o13sweetboy]

Lol😆 England has no chance of winning the world cup are you having a laugh? There rank is so low at this point.

[@trevorstanding6462]

The next manager must fix the lack of creativity in midfield. Foden and Rice could be replaced by Grealish and Palmer. Kane should be replaced by Watkins or Toney.
