Can't complain but we at least were 4 minutes away from extra time in the final. Most people expected us to go home much earlier.

Quoted from Kris2
Roundly beaten by a team that make it look so easy they pass the ball into the net. Where would these overpriced England players be without being surrounded by these European and South American playmakers that make the game happen. People got excited after they fumbled their way through against mediocre teams, as soon as they came up against a real team in the final they got found out. It's depressing that the Spain squad probably earns half as much as the England squad does at their respective clubs.

Outclassed, outshined, too little and too late again. We'll be back in a couple of years talking up how we'll surely win this time.


Maybe you’ll just say the best team won the tournament when you’ve calmed down.

excrement defending by Guehi for the winner. Just let the man go - he was the only Spanish player in the box.

Ultimately, we aren't good enough to retain possession in midfield when under a bit of pressure. If you cough it up endlessly as we have done all tournament, you've got no chance against the best teams. We've had a few decent halves of football in the whole tournament, which is very telling.

Cucerella played better than I thought he would tbf , the game was won and lost between him , Saka and us switching off just after half time imo . We let it get frantic and it suited them far more than us . Pickford pulled off a class save and a couple of regulation one's and I can't remember their keeper having much to do apart from picking the ball out of the net once .

Hard to take that - I felt we’d have won it had it gone to extra time. Made slightly easier to accept by the fact that Spain deserved it, not only on the basis of tonight but throughout the whole tournament.

Whatever Southgate decides to do now is his prerogative, but he deserves huge credit for what he’s done over these past four tournaments. That shouldn’t be forgotten.

The best team won.

Better team got the result but gutted we couldn’t at least steal it!  
Not so painful this time around as we deserved it last time,
Well done to the whole squad and manager .
We are a country who is now taken seriously.  Bring on the World Cup.  2026

Spain stepped it up and scored when they had too . Far better team and deserved to win the tournament. We looked miles off . It was like watching Man City v Burnley most the game . I don’t blame Southgate at all he’s done wonders but these players are no where near as good as they think they are
