    Pickford keeping England in it. But as long as someone keeps England in it, there's still the chance for that 89th minute moment of brilliance from someone.
    Well, I guess technically I was right, but...

    4 minutes added on time, (which was no where enough) only 1 minute the ball was in play. But dispite that best team won.

    We simply lost to the far better team. They deserved it

    FWIW they isolated our best players because for most of the game we had 10 men. Our top scorer was walking around after 20 mins. 

    This Spanish side though... Bloody fantastic chemistry. They just know where eachother are going to be. We have to pause and check on every attack.

    Ffs we needed pens 

    Might as well give Spain the 2026 World Cup now 
    That’s done


    unless we have a manager with a bit more attacking intent 

    we Never beat a team when we’re underdogs in the knockout stage

    Can't really complain. They've been the best team throughout and deserved it tonight.

    They were. But you just can’t help yourself can you? Probably had the post typed up half an hour ago.

    Best team in the tournament and on the night won it. We turned it on in certain periods but did we get the best out of the players available in the squad?

    They were miles better in every department. 

    Enough is enough. Hope we move on now.

    Truly believed today was finally going to be the day. So tight in the final. Heads held high. Spain better over the tournament, coverage I’m watching suggesting Spain were far better than us today but I don’t agree.

    Surprised the ref blew on exactly 4 minutes, but the best team won.

    England have been stodgy all tournament, I can't see many England players making the team of the tournament, unlike in previous ones.

    The ref was a cheat from the start in the way he handed out yellow cards but there was at least 1.5 minutes for subs and injuries.  "Respect" ?  Never !

    The better team won. 

    Simple as that.

    Best team won. Not really anyone who was near to them. Overall, a pretty poor tournament, some dreadful games.
  • Spain were much better.

    Commiserations to England, I know it hurts but making it to the final is a great achievement. Spain are an excellent team and the best team
    (both on the night and in the tournament) won.

    Tight first half and then one team came out improved (despite their best player going off), credit to their manager for that.

    I thought that, but oh well.

    Had one decentish game against the Dutch but, Imo, the team still nowhere near fulfilling it's potential considering the ability in the squad. You do get the individual displays of brilliance, but for me there's a general lack of flare over-all.

    Spain much better team, which is frustrating because we have so much quality in the squad. Looked good for 5 minutes then just dropped the energy again after we scored. Never ever think England will win a tournament so the pain is somewhat diminished. Need someone a bit more tactically astute I think as manager, no idea who that is…..Klopp?

    Southgate needed to be braver with the selections and I think tonight showed that up more than ever. Yes I get it Kane is the captain and he was our top scorer, but you cannot tell me we look good with him in the side. Every time we took him off we got better, and we should have said fuck it, bench him and see if he can be the difference maker late on instead of having him stroll about for an hour

    Fuck off. You are anti England, unless there is an Arsenal angle.

    Might have been nice if Guehi had thought to put it literally anywhere else other than where the bloke on the line was mind
