EURO 2024 FINAL THREAD: SPAIN vs ENGLAND Sunday, July 14th, 8:00PM

[RowlattsFox]

To be fair you can see why Southgate is always worried about the midfield.

[Brooksy]

Looks like prem vs championship here

[Dahnsouff]

Our lack of options for the man with the ball is criminal 

[fazzyfox]

“Kane hasn’t been able to run in behind tonight”.

He hasn’t all tournament!

Thought Williams was running him ragged tbh. Meanwhile Shaw was doing so well against Yamal that the wingers went and doubled up on him. How often do you see that. 

 

I also think Williams was the best player in the pitch first half 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Rice has been awful but he's very average anyway.

 

Mainoo has something about him but he's been poor too.

 

Rest are not in it..we need some pace in the team and Watkins on to push there CB's 5/10 yards back

[MPH]

The thing is, we have the players to be just as much an attacking side as Spain are, but it’s like we are permanently on a leash..

[The Guvnor]

Watkins for Kane at fcuking last !!

[Mike Oxlong]

Second half has been like watching a Ferrari racing a Trabant 

[whoareyaaa]

Big decision 

[Shane]

thank god kanes off!!

[StanSP]

Kane has to be busting a gut for those cut backs. Useless. 

[ramboacdc]

Dice thrown. Come on Watkins

[foxfanazer]

Look who's not there again. Genuine embarrassment

I don't know what a Trabant is but I assume it only runs in reverse

but if the Ferrari runs out of fuel..

Let's see how we do with 11 men rather then 10.

60 minutes too late 

[Guest Col city fan]

I’d go as far as to suggest that England, tonight, so far have been shocking.

The final of a major tournament and Southgate sets us up yet again to ‘not lose’, rather than to win.

To get this back, it’ll take another piece of individual brilliance that comes out of the blue.

So disappointing so far, but I’m not surprised at how we’ve set up to play.

 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Wow Harry's off with 30 mins to go

[MattFox]

Last few minutes have been better

We've come up against a proper team and have been found wanting. Rinse and repeat 

 

Got a striker on with actual legs now so let's see if that helps
