Pleased with that.
How anyone ever thought it was Englands to lose is bizarre.

Good career but that decline of Kyle Walker was seen tonight as he was poor on both of Spain's goals and other chances they probably should have scored from.

I don't think that's a decline. Pace like no other but doesn't have a good football brain.

Yeah such a relief. I have nothing against the players - just the 'bloody medja'. What shite we'd have had to listen to. Roy is getting his digs in now. Obviously 'secretly' delighted. 😀😀😀

John Stones Knee is a name for a quiz team.

Look-Up!

England don't have a midfield to win out a tournament against the best teams in Europe. By winning out, I mean, consistently dominate the best teams, game after game, over a 3/4 game stretch.

But they do have exciting attacking talent, and multiple match winners, who can conjure goals out of nothing. They got an easy group, got the draw from heaven, played nobody to reach the final. Rodri going off at HT in the final etc. So it did look like the stars were aligning for them, and very easily could have won that game despite the possession stats. Wouldn't blame anyone thinking they were destined to win it.

Rice as usual pure shite, most of his passes back to Pickford. Spanish players are many levels above in skill.

A good example of the nonsense from English/Sky pundits pre tournament.

Ronnie Whelan will be wrecking the commentary box  about now

Bellingham is overrated also imo, always throwing himself on the floor also.

Impressive fireworks.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Rice has the touch of a Bulgarian shot putter. Mainoo so much classier.

Kane was pants the whole tournament, but had to start and with Spain having so much possession England were going to be reliant on the counter attack.

Southgate waited too long to get Watkins on, plus their luck ran out.

Not complaining  8)

Bellingham looks a cert to be his generation's Dele Alli. He's quick, he's strong, he has a hell of a first touch. But he's more interested in being noticed than being a footballer. And that's despite what should have been a brilliant grounding in Dortmund.

Mainoo a belter of a player. Had a bit too much to do there but looks a very smart footballer.

Bellingham obviously has quality but tries to be Roy of the rovers. If they disciplined him to play a certain role he'd be better. Bit too much of a maverick and doesn't have the right players round him to do that.
