game’s opened up now. Excellent stuff.

Still stand by my 2-1 prediction, but Kyle Walker needs to wake up and stop giving Nico Williams tons of space.

Looks like there’s something to the Harry Kane curse

Dead giveaway when he moved to Bayern that was a sure banker and still couldn’t win anything

Great tournament all. Shame to see England lose again but it was a fun ride and the best team won it.

On to the new club season and then the world cup in 2026!

England was never going to win this. They were on the easy side of the knockouts. Spain meanwhile had to send hosts Germany home, and vice world champions France. They were used to a higher level of play and I think the difference between the 2 was visible. England only played well for 45 minutes, against Holland who let them, and sparked by a laughable penalty. For the rest they played a shit tournament, but lucked out with their easy opposition throughout. But in the end you need to beat the best team performing team anyway, and they never looked like they were going to win this game.

Congratulations Spain and unfortunate for England. We as Dutch know all too well how it is to lose in the final, and also from Spain…

Well, maybe the world cup will be ours.

Equally you could argue that England suffer most in current football by having the strongest league in the world - Serie A being equal or second - contested by at least 8 strong teams and therefore have the most tired squad going into summer tournaments and the least cohesive national team because there is no nucleus of just one club team proving the spine of the national team and the competitive nature of the league puts most players at polar opposites to be quick and easy national teamates.

The league strength equally impacts the quality/experience of the home grown managerial choices because when you look at the top clubs in the Prem - and sometimes even the Championship - you can see very few of those jobs have been given to English managers with patience to let them learn their trade managing a team with players at the ability level of the national team and competing in the CL and Prem.

England arguably suffered by being in a group and side of the draw where playing dominating football was non-existent from others until the Netherlands game, making their handicap of Southgate strategy - that telegraphs the low block, slow 1-up-top by making Kane his first name on the team sheet (captain) - even more of a burden IMO.

England's squad is easily the most expensive - and so assumed best - but they aren't moulded as team, and Spain did rightful win, by being the best team with an amazing squad IMO.

I'm not sorry to see Southgate go, i always thought he was too defensive and you need to attack to score goals, he was also too loyal to players who were not producing the goods in his teams, and wouldn't give younger players much of a go, but the real issue now is who takes the job.
