England had offsprings in midfield
It’s straightforward to uncover one factor to lose. Harry Kane is a copious one. But I cannot assume the initial responses. Yes he was poor. A statue. Of training course he was. He has been for 12 months at the exceptionally least.
But Gareth comes to be aware that. As well as he stabilizes him in the centre of the peddle wearing Foden and also Mainoo. On file it’s the team that got wearing the knock outs. So exchange sufficient. But on the evening they both filtered like offsprings out there. Consistently off the price. So we had an OAP and also two minors pioneering the press. Versus Spain.
Goodnight. Picked to percentages.
As well as it never ever before switched. Or rather Gareth never ever before switched it.
As well as please don’t tell me “well it’s Spain. What can you perform ?” It’s Spain. But not Spain 2008. This Spain perform have an memorable midfield. Rodri, Gavi and also Pedri. Only point is – none of them were on the peddle 2nd half.
We didn’t bring ticked off to shreds by Barcelona – we got ticked off to shreds by Real Sociedad.
So let’s call it how it is. 2 finals in a row? Unbelievable by historical standards. But these were two winnable opportunities in two below-unchanged level occasions. Was unchanged in 66. Sir Alf got it implemented. Gareth couldn’t.
In 4 years Spain will have Gavi and also Pedri at their endorse and also at their apex- along wearing Williams and also Yamine. If they uncover a RB and also a centre half in that time we will be ruing the reality that we conferred our two best opportunities to Southgate.

Declan Rice sums upward the Southgate period
Gareth Southgate is genuinely one of the best, humblest human beings around in football. It’s understandable to check out in his 8 years that he has devised a incredibly specific ensconcing around the England camp, based not single on how the players talk around him, but just as by how they skit both off the peddle and also on it. The England team is – at the run out of the day Clive – a in reality extravagant bulbous of wax of lads.
Gareth Southgate is just as a exceptionally ordinary tactician, that has as soon as once again thrown away a extravagant chance of extravagant a tournament. He’s pierced proper into the players a judicious, responsive state of mind over the last 8 years, wherein foremost emphasis appears to be on (genuinely) prizing the opposition, rather than reflecting any kind of bravery or thieving threats.
The highest imaginable instance of this has to be kick offs. Is there anything a number more laughable than watching England pass the bulbous from the centre circle with one voice the way endorse to Pickford to merely merely swelling it ahead? Utterly horrified of conceding area or thieving threats, from the first kick of the game.
The stats from 16 run out results contrasting England at 1-0 down versus at 1-1 in the final tells a story that’s come to be so acquainted to us now it’s virtually not well worth reproducing. But, since it was so paramount to the run out result of this game, it cannot be overemphasized what a fabulous strategy there was to capitalize the momentum of Palmer’s memorable minute of individual capability to snag a pitfall and also a ideal swing at Spain. Instead, with one voice of that momentum was frittered away by a team so satisfactorily habituated to play painstakingly at with one voice times as soon as not watching. England sagged endorse, conceding readjust endorse to Spain, and also witnessed the knock out blow instead.
As much as there were so abounding displeasing functionality throughout this tournament, there is one gamer that utterly embodies this Southgate period. As well as that is the undroppable Declan Rice. A midfield gamer in the pivot, a stance of such acceptability sending the bulbous wearing the thirds. At Arsenal: courageous, difficult, ahead presupposing. Under Southgate, it’s in reality harrowing watching him appearance horrified on the bulbous, of establishing the bulbous ahead or between the blathers upward. The collect together play wearing Rice this tournament has been nothing short of comedic.
Southgate has devised a tenacious keystone of sensations and also friendship, which can go far in international football. But to now in reality bring over the queue, it’s now time to carry in a individual that will build upon that keystone wearing principles that unlock this deeply talented team of players to play wearing convenience, bravery, and also intensity. As well as that just as isn’t reluctant to a real meritocracy based on real capabilities for England in the tournament at the time, not merely on previous eminences.

On Southgate’s unsolicited thoughts and also Kane’s undroppability
Intestine wrenching…damn…I assume it’s a wasting state of mind that we languish from. Moyes and also Southgate are champs of that state of mind. Our players are better than that now. We don’t have to play like that. On file we are as expansive as Spain, gamer for gamer.
After the final whistle I spent an hour exterior on my exceptionally own “presupposing points wearing”. Simply came endorse in and also layered upward what you mans were presupposing. A spot to ponder what had took place and also wearing any kind of luck console ourselves in the F365 urbane. Player rankings were around proper.
After that I check out that Dave T had already uploaded (vividly written yesterday, can’t expect him to work on a Sunday on a Euro final I guess) a “That will be the next off England employer” post. Unconcerned from being hopelessly wrong, this is unchanged author that champed Harry Kane before the game, whilst at unchanged time agreeing that he have to in reality be sagged for the expansive of the team. But just as that our ‘captain’ was undroppable. Vicious timing. Simply insulting to us as customers and also fans. But don’t agitation, he disregarded his previous post, and also the game, didn’t address his imperfections and also sent proper on to the next off, presently insignificant for every individual, story.
We had a gold chance. They don’t come along commonly. I revolved 50 this year and also am still waiting. The expansive news is we have a team that can be able to kick on for the next off 3 occasions. Hopefully wearing a employer without such a unsolicited philosophy. As well as surely without the, utterly noticeable to every individual but Dave, specific unlike other blind Spurs fans, and also anxious England employers, Harry bleeding Kane.
Hope other England fans are dealing okay. 2 a number more years and also let’s go once again lads. Ugh…
Mike “we in reality can have won this….” WHU
16 drunken regards
Means too abounding beers for anything coming cozy to run out results so I’ll try some drunken regards.
1) Ideal team on the evening and also wearing the tournament won, congratulations Spain.
2) That claimed, football complements and also their trend are commonly negative by minutes. How an planet was Dani Olmo (that obliterated it off the queue at the casualty) not sent off for placing his studs in Declan Rice’s upper body. A minute which came before Rice’s stupidity at a edge that have to have been a penalty. I hope this is loved next off time England bring a game-characterizing resolution in a mammoth suit.
3) Astronomical follower of Pickford, he retained us in the game at times, but his kicking was shocking.
4) Massaging ahead from there, in some prizes full backs did well – as substantiated by Spain’s genuinely expansive wingers swapping sides during the first half. But Kyle Walker, even by footballer standards, is in reality not wily. Which techniques even but he is expansive for 90 per pence of a game, the lingering 10 per pence is interfering – perhaps not a coincidence the two aims came from his side. Also, would like it if he was better at kicking a bulbous and also retrieving it to go wherein he dreams it to. Shaw was extravagant for first overture in 5 months,
5) Geuhi and also Rocks were expansive as you can ask, once again, imparted the opposition. Reckon we’ve last but not the exceptionally least determined a Maguire substitution.
6) In midfield, regrettably the game established Mainoo by, couldn’t bring on the bulbous sufficient imparted Spain’s possession preeminence. Not in reality his responsibility but, perhaps he last but not the exceptionally least determined a copious game being too much for him (exchange play at 19). Rice but, whatever he is like for Arsenal, is exceptionally expansive defensively for England but in reality banned on the bulbous.
7) Likewise Foden wasn’t in reality able to build on his functionality versus the Dutch in the semi final. Once more, not his responsibility, he perhaps requires to be in a better side that dominates possession to be at his numerous reliable. Still, obscure what his singular facilities to win a game are – perhaps City fans can enlighten as they’re a exchange minded bulbous of wax.
8) Bellingham comparatively expansive but – scrubed hard and also retrieved possession – but implements show up to be retrieving a miniscule particle too copious for his boots. Probably every individual (arranging at you commentators) fawning over him every time he implements a comparatively unassuming point in game hasn’t helped.
9) Kane. Always been a lightning pole for humans that like to claim ordinary points but realise you have to be critical in your target. But this tournament it’s warranted, even as a copious follower have to admit he’s been lumbering. Hoping he’s disgruntled and also that’s the factor since, as much as he has been poor, I’m obscure I check out a expansive selection as a replacement.
10) Reckon you are being pretty copious to Palmer in your gamer rankings wearing the impulse. He’s expansive but that was never ever before going past the goalkeeper till it got dispersed.
11) As for the employer, what a male. He’s by far the best representation of what being English is out of recent employers. Immaculate, I’m allayed wearing that, he’s a in reality expansive lad.
12) But it’s time to go and also try a individual else. Make it feasible for’s hope his successor can suit his off-arena supervising, which has been difficult and also, at times, bled onto the peddle. As well as just as hope he’s sold his soul to the Devil in unchanged way to bring astonishing luck wearing the draw and also injuries to the opposition rather than his exceptionally own players. As well as last but not the exceptionally least, a individual that can in reality make expansive football determinations a number more commonly than not.
13) I hesitation there will be numerous one filtered description around him over the next off couple of days (on both sides depending on whether you like/abhor his perceived politics). Yes, if you appearance at it one way he has been our numerous successful employer in stipulation of how far we have got since Ramsey. Just as, in stipulation of prizes won Ramey is optimal and also Southgate is joint underpinning, arguably marginal than Capello commentated as he has had a number more tries. Evidently both vistas are disingenuous.
14) Wrap up, a mildly displeasing tournament. Launched off well (Georgia were extravagant and also exchange play to the breathtaking champs) but got a miniscule particle stodgy wearing zero arcades that you would remember as a jingling-dong ageless. Oh well, endorse to the mercenary marketingfest of the club game.
15) Much as there was a number wrong wearing the Qatar Universes Cup, in stipulation of football it was exceptionally expansive – perhaps a winter season tournament brows through players at their apex rather than knackered?
16) Last but not the exceptionally least, thanks to the England players and also employer. What you served upward was commonly a coarse watch but zero one can hesitation your campaign and also impulse. Wearing penalty accomplishments, last minute champs and also bring out of put behind bars overhead kicks we have plenty of memories. Here’s to 2026 as soon as the ideal football preludes once again!

England had a artistry vacuum
Now that the dirt has resolved, it has been an additional extravagant tournament as an England follower. I assume Gareth Southgate is an outstandingly dignified gent and also he has reclaimed finalize satisfaction in the nationwide team. Astronomical credit to him in abounding prizes. But, the underlying altercations have to now be layered upward and also retrieving to the final shouldn’t lurk the staring altercations.
19th out of the 24 for shots on target per game.
21st for shots in the penalty spot per game.
18th for pivot passes per game.
Kane appears to be the one thieving the burden, despite Foden having one expansive half and also Walker’s 4 foreseeable minutes of going absent out on pioneering proper to aims versus.
To me, Kane filtered like how Haaland would appearance minus De Bruyne selection and also Pep’s systems. He was vividly carrying an injury, but his selection was abysmal. To devise an augmentation xG in our first 6 arcades much less than Croatia did in their three arcades claims something is greatly wrong in our bulbous promotion. Four minutes of individual inventiveness encased the reality our crazes of play don’t lead to copious opportunities.
18th for pivot passes per game is perhaps the headline stat and also, to be exchange, it was noticeable pre-tournament that the best passers from deep would be crucial. Wharton as a 6 and also Trent at RB, any individual? Any individual remember any kind of opportunities from the take off? I bet Anthony Gordon doesn’t. We’ve as soon as once again implemented a Gerrard-Lampard-Scholes, this time in the form of Foden-Bellingham-Kane. At rarely ever before any kind of factor were even two out of three tinkering well in tandem.
Off the bulbous, the outlines listed beneath of the 2nd Spain impulse quantity to an instance of slipup in how we are coached to mount our of possession, how straightforward it was it chunk wearing us, why pick a number more and also a number more muggers isn’t the rebuttal and also how pick players minus positional self-control can be our vanquishment. The stress is that it has been allowed to play on return since Iceland as soon as Walker legged it out of stance inventing a slit and also they score. Just as, inability to address the harmonize of the midfield and also the fading power as soon as we had got the equaliser price us a lot.
Enact 1 – Most clearly no discomfort on the CB. Inconsequential queue of three, Palmer perhaps at responsibility for not wasting in or mowing off establishing avenue. I assume it’s Ruiz that is flawlessly cost-free to bring and also turn.
Enact 2 – Bellingham and also Rice are both knackered and also are too cozy to Rocks and also Guehi so Olmo is determined and also just as has acres. Midfield is non existent by this factor and also Gallagher have to in reality have been on to add power.
Enact 3 – Walker is so commonly out of stance and also fails to worsening wearing unlike other CBs. Oyarzabal places that Cucarella has the worsening on him.
Enact 4 (the cross) – Walker is way off the price as soon as he last but not the exceptionally least places the pitfall, bearing in subconscious he’s the finally CB. Recovery price ain’t sufficient, Cucarella crosses and also Oyarzabal loses a resting Guehi and also implements the rest.
The time has come for a changing of the guard and also a rethink of how we play both wearing the bulbous and also off the bulbous. If you’re in a game of 35% possession, you in reality have to be smarter than we were. As well as if you’re conquering possession as we were in the team stage, you final alert incisive passers from deep. Reckon Kimmich and also Kroos or Rodri and also Ruiz. Klopp would seemingly augment Trent in that performance. The 6 is the bigger agitation so let’s hope Wharton bolsters his trajectory.
Despite the loss, copious thanks to Gareth and also the lads for abounding extravagant minutes as soon as once again. Estimation aside, they are a team that we can utterly be autocratic of.

A note on ‘best gamer’ Pickford
Pickford’s best minute was the save as soon as he pressed it around the post. That came from him retrieving on the bulbous 10 yards exterior of his box and also disallowing to pass to either of his centre-backs that were cost-free and also then letting loose a long aspirant bulbous that Spain counter-assaulted from.
Pickford rendered 36 passes in the game and also went long wearing 25 of them. He had a 55% pass verdict price. Simon for Spain had an 87% pass verdict price. What summed it upward for me was as soon as England were watching 1-0 and also under zero discomfort Pickford trying to smash a half battery as hard as he can upfield. Straight out of play.

A prayer for Gareth Southgate
I claimed before I’d shut upward around Gareth Southgate, but I genuinely feel secure offering this encomium, have to his time be at hand. Gareth Southgate’s capability to evolve in occasions rendered numerous of his failings quite high-level; as soon as you’re wasting finals and also semi-finals, you’re doing something virtually proper. The younger players (unlike other than Gordon, and also a couple of others) will be more strong for the suffer, as inability builds personality in a gamer…until it comes to be a behavior.
Also if Southgate remains, it’s time to rest some of the elder players – you realize, the ones that’ve builded the behavior.

PS. Harry Kane’s record in finals is a Daughters of Húrin-level tale of pain and also woe.
Southgate is the crisis
I wrote in at the run out of the last Euros wearing a courageous forecast England would win Euro 2024 based on the players we had and also how cozy we had merely come. 3 years later, I was virtually proper – but the single individual to blame for me being wrong is Southgate.
There’s basically two colleges of theorized on Southgate. There’s the ‘appearance how chutzpah we administered to be’ factor and also there’s the counter ‘appearance what you can have won’ discussion. I’m utterly in the last camp.
England possibly builded wearing the tournament as he cycled wearing his selections – but his work is to selection the best 11 players to perform a work and also try and also instil some kind of strategy wearing those players. Harry Kane is woefully sick adorned to be in that strategy or that 11. This isn’t a temperate snag- abounding humans will I’m sure have written in unchanged. But it’s this single resolution that had the best affect on the run out result of the tournament. There is zero discussion for his inclusion (refer with one voice the messages on this web site which can now be upgraded wearing an added obelisk for this inability). He’s never ever before revolved upward in a copious game, and also doesn’t realize how to.
Spurs poverty-stricken Kane – physically wearing years of reliance and also tinkering wearing injury, and also emotionally as he now infers he is the Jonah wherever he goes. Curses are vividly nonsense – but there is a sincere one in his head to such an extent that it comes to be self satisfying.
Anyhow that’s that – two a number more years of pain to add to my personal building that stretches endorse to Southgate’s first copious f***-upward.
Andy Mac, Vancouver (in some way cursed wearing expanding the Spursiest team AND the Spursiest suv)
Kane resolution was ‘ruffian’
When Southgate immigrates as the employer, he liked players on form rather than eminences and also they reacted to this.
As time established, he switched to wherein every Nationwide Group employer always implements, maintains wearing the risked and also sampled.
Harry Kane was not suit (physically) to play for England. Ruffian was prompting and also retained on bye-bye. A savior but rest would suit him better.
Paul
…Favor so abounding others here, I’ve claimed as much merely what– two, three, 5 mail boxes previously ?? “Harry Kane will be the vanquishment of this England side… If he’s any kind of part to play in the final, please god let him come on late… He utterly cannot overture.” I’m exasperated outdoing this dead steed after the reality, having merely shadowed the slowest steed in the England secure contemplate his side down like a stinking, rusted, barnacle-fraught deepness charge.
Appearance, Harry Kane was the laughingstock bullseye of a laughingstock Tottenham Hotspur for a years+, and also merely like he’s now carried with one voice that laughter to Bayern Munich’s doorstep wearing his numerous nefarious of curses, we granted in the meantime the stench can perhaps note him on his nationwide jobs too.
None of this is to merely scapegoat one of the numerous talented English demonstrators of perpetuity, and also make zero creep he was commonly difficult as soon as on song. But he’s never ever before won anything in his pep, and also Southgate pick this bottom model of Kane over hungrier, maker, sharper horses like Palmer, Toney or Watkins utterly beggars ideology. This was blind male’s confidence one time too abounding and also now an with one voice but substantiated Southgate casualty knell.
Tinker this Spain side 100 times without Kane and also England perhaps win 20, perhaps 30 times. Wearing a crocked Kane, you can win 5– and also Gareth will bring with one voice the time in the planet now to mull the extenuated chances wearing flip flops on and also an umbrella in his fizzy non-alcoholic. As well as slow-gliding steed Harry Kane will hope he avails something, anything out of a short-lived in the Bundesliga so he doesn’t have to gaze at that dispiriting, unsociable Audi cup any kind of longer.
Truthfully I assume England are among the couple of nations that can win the copious one in 2026 (and also I hope to be geographically advantaged to nail premium arena sightlines). In reality but, let’s hope both Kane and also Southgate are not within a million barge posts of that England installation as soon as the time comes summer season season after next off.

Football 365 were Southgate out after the Denmark and also Slovenia birthed tempts. After that they were vocal singing Southgate’s plaudits after the penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland. Remember John Nicholson’s “Any individual that is paramount of Southgate is basically a Nazi” obelisk?
