If Spain wins the EUROs this weekend against England it’s going to be well deserved and I honestly wouldn’t be shocked. They’ve had such a hard route to the final and they’re 1 game away from winning their first trophy in a major tournament since 2012. (BTW they won the Nations League last year, but I don’t count that as an international trophy). These guys managed to top a challenging group by winning every single game without conceding a goal, they dominated Georgia beating them 4-1 after falling behind showing that they mean business and doing what a lot of top teams haven’t done against weak opposition which is win by a convincing margin, and they were actually tested because in the semifinals and quarterfinals respectively they’ve beaten the likes of France and Germany. Even though France has lacked open play goals at this tournament, they hadn’t conceded a single goal from open play until Spain scored 2 goals against them in a couple of minutes after being from behind showing their reactivity and how even when they’re not leading it doesn’t phase them when they always manage to plug away and do whats expected of them. They have been the best team of the tournament and apart from the handball incident against Germany which was offsides by the way, they have won games in a proper fashion and have looked like so dominant, as they didn’t have to rely on referees penalty shootouts individual brilliance or luck because they play excellent football and they actually work together as a team and it’s a collective effort even if they have individuals who just go out there and play their game and when you have everyone in form that benefits the team as a whole. You have fast and direct wingers, technical and tenacious midfielders, this is a recipe for success and hopefully on Sunday, football wins because the team who plays the best football while also having an identity combined with their ability to grind results, they should win the EUROs over a team that plays boring football where they have a manager who plays the same starting lineup, makes substitutions too late, they get lucky and have individual brilliance on their side and are only in the final because they’ve had an easy bracket where they played against teams they should be beating even though they should be knocked out by now and winning the EUROs is the start of something special for Spain and this could be their next great team possibly.

It’s bad enough that the quality of players (globally) has declined so drastically over the last 20 years, but for things to be so bad that an average England squad can now easily reach semi-finals and finals of tournaments without playing well, but still end up as winners, is confirmation that men’s football will never again be the game I grew up watching.

The difference is Spain possess the ball with attacking purpose and they are masters at manipulating space. For all the possession England have they spend far too much time mindlessly passing the ball with no real intent. And that makes them far more predictable and easier to defend than Spain.

It's true my brother I can't believe rice is 100m pounds,that guy is bang average all he do is pass side ways and back when there is a player in front of him😂😂😂

[@Photosoflife]

@@joleneacquah7529 Rice is 100 million because he’s English, that’s it. The English players have a separate transfer market because the Premier League mandates a minimum number of homegrown English players on each team. At this point, English players only account for about 30% of all the players in the Premier League. So the value of a player like Rice is driven up because he’s a very hot commodity in a much smaller player pool market. That’s why he cost 100 million.

England is not even close winning the finale.....next!?!

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

Spain are a much better team than England going into the final, but as we’ve seen from them in recent games, luck has been on their side and when you go up against a team that’s so dominant and actually has an identity and proper game plan, their luck will soon run out. They should’ve been eliminated by Slovakia and Switzerland; yet they managed to survive against them thanks to some individual brilliance which led to them winning on penalties and extra time and with all due respect to the Netherlands, they went up against a team who hasn’t looked great either and have managed to make it this far in the tournament, but how much longer will this be sustainable for them. I mean these are teams they should be beating anyways and Southgate will be one lucky man if they go on to win the final because by now he would’ve resigned and some of the fans still don’t rate him properly even though he’s taken them to back to back finals in consecutive EUROs which is something that was never happening for this team in previous tournaments. If they win the EUROs, is that because 1. They’re so good 2. Gareth Southgate is a top manager who’s unfairly criticized by the media and fans 3. Have the standards in football fallen off and is the game so boring. For most of the tournament apart from a couple of games, they’ve looked so mediocre and everyone sees them as a boring team to watch and they haven’t looked impressive and at times their tactics can be questionable, yet they find themselves at a final of another major tournament thanks to them having an easy route meanwhile Spain have gotten to the final while playing against a lot of good gels and actually beat them. Them getting something out of their game against Spain depends on how Southgate decides to line this team up as while he’s changed the formation, he’s still starting the same players the personnel hasn’t changed and also if his team is trailing by a goal or 2, in order to avoid making the game get out of hand, at least make some early substitutes and don’t wait too long as they could win this game by using luck, if they don’t change something up, they’re ready for a big beatdown and that shouldn’t happen or else the English media is ready to tear into Southgate and their players.

Let’s look on quality. From the beginning to me it was about Germany or Spain - whoever wins wins the euro. The quality of game of those two teams is impeccable- it’s a type of football my partner, who never likes to watch, was not even touching her phone over the entire period. It’s something England doesn’t have. They did play better first half than what’s the usual but that won’t be enough for Spain if the latter will keep playing that level of football

For football sake Spain must win. England has been extraordinarily lucky all the way to the final the only good team they were facing is the Netherlands and even they’re not at their best. This new bizarre group stage system where there’s a third best team for every group is just a corrupt way of FIFA and UEFA to extend matches. Football will continue to grow its market and audience but unfortunately the quality will continue to deteriorate thanks to these corrupt organizations like FIFA and UEFA.

[@alexoshike3367]

It had to be done since the no of teams in Euro had been increased and hence a round of 8 won't be possible after the first round since a round of 12 does not suppose to exist in cup tournaments since a round of 8 can't emerge from that and hence a final of 2 can't emerge from it. So 4 teams had to be added to the 12 to make it 16 so they can get a round of 16 which a round of 8 can emerge from.

[@concernedcitizens4110]

@@alexoshike3367 This proves my point why on earth all competitions now needed to include more teams.

I have a gut feeling England will win this. A lot of pressure will be on Spain because they have been the best team in the tournament. However the final is a different kettle of fish and Spain will certainly feel the pressure of expectations on them, as well as the legacy of the successes of their previous generation. As for England, they have been in the final before and will be underdogs, so I think this goes in their favour.

[@garbancitolentejas486]

Spain was not the favourite... they were England, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Portugal.. but not Spain.. the Spanish players are very young (one only 16 yo... on july 13th.. he will be 17 yo)... not pressure at all... we are not at Xavi, Iniesta, Arbeloa, Pujol, Casillas, Cesc, Piquet, Xavi Alonso... days... they were the best and had to prove it every tournament... now... Spaniards are milennials..including a teenager...the pression is on the English side. They were the favourite when the tournament started.

A cultural figure. As a coach, the luckiest man in history. His game is non-existent, positional and defensive. It has the advantage that the competition in Europe and the world is never worse, there are no dominant teams like there used to be, for example Brazil or Spain. His team and the players he has at his disposal are quite good and of high quality. With these players I would have better results, I would certainly win something. What is not at all clear to me is why he doesn't call Tomori to the national team to play defense for him, that's where he is thin. Are they in a fight?

Konsa has stepped up when needed. Trent showed big cajones with the winning pen after the criticisms he faced. Palmer as usual, cool during the pens and provided the all important assist. Watkins, having played zero minutes thus far… made an instant impact and scored the most important goal in his career!
