Not upset.
Spain are an excellent side and fully deserved the win
We came second which is pretty amazing to be fair.
It's just the prelude to QPR going one step further and winning the championship
Think positive !!! |  |

Well, SM will be awash with haters laughing at us but we came second to clearly the best team.
We got further than Germany, Italy, France, Belgium….. they all would have swapped places with us. |  | | |

The positive is we got to a final on foreign soil so we can take heart from that. We scored late goals that got us this far but this time we conceded late that's the way it goes. |  | | |

As Alan Hansen once said, you won’t win anything with Kane in your side.
Or something like that, might have been Kids. I know it had a K in it. |  | | |

I feel sorry for Kane. His goal scoring at Spurs and At Bayern last season and for England has been fantastic. We seemed to be better without him so just maybe his time is up as first choice in England. We simply have to try games with a fully strong XI but without him.
No point playing friendlies without him but half the first team missing too. | | | |

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same, then you are a QPR supporter my son.

Not unlucky, just beaten by the best team in the tournament. No shame in that.
Probably the end for Kane and Walker, but the rest are still young and we have a conveyor belt of talent which is great going forward.
A lot of hatred from a minority towards Southgate, but you can't argue with his record. | | | |

There was no 'just beaten' there. They were tactically so much better set up to win a game of football on merit than we were. We defaulted to 'survive and nick one' just as it's been the whole tournament. |  |

Referee was happy to piss away 2 minutes of stoppage time there with Spanish players rolling around on the deck. Cheers for that.
Best team won, but I can't help thinking perseverance with Kane, who was clearly not fit or just plane past it, hindered England massively on the night. |  | | |

Kane is done, we have carried him the whole tournament. Played him out of sentiment alone. Wasted opportunity to play younger, better, quicker players sat on the bench. | | | |

I don’t think he’s ‘done’ at 30 but clearly not 100% fit. Situation should have been reversed in that we start with the likes of Palmer /Watkins/Toney and used Kane as a sub last 20 mins.
We do need to look at other options without him in the starting XI | | | |

We never once played to Kanes strengths he had to do a job for the team and sacrificed himself for it |  | | |

Kane hasn't been good in the last 3 tournaments and was way off it here, not fit enough. Also think Bellingham was carrying a problem through the tournament.
Southgate got very lucky v Slovakia and can walk away now with good wishes. We have seriously talented players and to see us not having a clue how to set up early in the tournament was unforgivable. He needs to go now, he's done all he can. [Post edited 14 Jul 22:55]

We scored a great equaliser and went straight back on defensive , hey how about we take the game to the opposition and maybe score a second. The more we play this defensive shit the more I think we will never ever win anything. |  |

He can't play to his strengths on the halfway line |  | | |

Still ended up joint top scorer I think. |  | | |

True he was deep and mostly isolated but he was also immobile and couldn't seem to win a ball in the air or get off the ground so there is clearly something wrong and sadly for him you look at the pace and muscle of players like Watkins and Toney and that is the direction, with Palmer, Gordon, Bellingham and Foden (who had another poor one) all very much able to play a far more attacking style than they do and Kane suddenly looks a bit out of place.
Fair play to Spain, they seemed to just want it more than we did and they knew how to get it in the end. |  |

I'm not so sure we were 'unlucky'.
Did we try to win, were our inform player on the pitch?
I know it's about opinions, but for the first time in my life we have had players capable of winning things and we have not.
I think Gareth has a lot to answer for, but he will be given an easy ride. | | | |

As did a Georgian player. Who got knocked out a couple of games earlier. And didn't have Saka, Foden etc supplying him.
Truth is, we went into this tournament not knowing our best team or style of play. We were so under-cooked it was ridiculous | | | |

It was a decent effort to get to the final and I am pleased that England made the final competitive on the scoreline. However, they were comprehensively out-played, out-thought and out-fought by a superior team. It was quite ironic that before the tournament began, their attacking prowess was lauded and concerns raised over their defensive frailities.In the end, the opposite proved to be the case as they were solid defensively but struggled to break down even average defences.
The two players that disappointed me the most were Foden and Rice. Foden is a much better player than his performances indicated, so not sure who or what is at fault there. A couple of flashes v the Dutch aside, he was virtually anonymous.
Rice, on the other hand, has been found out to be not quite of the quality that he has been lauded at. Still a very good player, just not at the Rodri level for example.
Overall, a very decent tournament for England, and if Southgate leaves, he can do so knowing he has left them in a far better state than he found them. | | | |

So, 3 goals in 7 isn’t very good because someone else got 3 in 5?
If someone offered three goals from Kane and a go at the final I don’t think anyone would have turned that down. | | | |
| unlucky england... on 23:57 - Jul 14 with 2138 views | PlanetHonneywood |
We had 5 to 10 minutes after we equalised to take control and go on to win it, but just couldn't. Sad, they did us proud, thank you Gareth and your chargers.
Well done Spain | |
