    "England created less xG at Euro 2024 (6.43) than Croatia (7.10).

    Croatia went out at the Group Stage."

      Loser mentality rife across the country tbf. Media to reaction to us reaching a final we were almost odds on to make was overblown. Send in selfies of your dogs wearing sunglasses etc on sky sports news this morning.

      3 lions was released in 1996. 30 years of hurt x 2.

      The teams in a good place. Southgate should do the right thing and step aside. Unfortunately I've got a bad feeling that losing in a final was the worst thing that could have happened.

    Spain had one world class player in Rodri, England have about 6.

    The big difference is Spain played like a team which is well coached.

    Spanish players improved under their coach, while England players got worse.

    England copied Switzerlands formation, got lucky that it improved the team and mostly depended on individual moments from exceptional players.

    Pickford playing long balls all final like it's Stoke City.

    Total media driven nonsense to support Southgate.has really brainwashed a nation into thinking he's a great coach.

    If you understand basic tactics, patterns of play and movement through the lines you will recognise England were poor while lesser teams had a better football identity.

    Only beating one FIFA top 10 team in a major tournament over 8 years is simply not good enough.
    Southgates poor underlying data eventually shows itself in the big moments.

      Even with Pep or Klopp England may do well. But to win a major is a far stretch. Not in their dna or have the mentality to win a major.

      This spain is beatable. Have to play fire with fire. No point just defending vs spain. Germany came closest but too bad they conceded last minute of extra time.
      Southgate is a joke. Just defend till its 0-1. Then attack till its 1-1.. then defend till its 1-2.. just wants to play 0-0 and win on penalties

    One area where Southgate was poor was squad rotation. Walker for example played every minute of every match. No wonder he looked knackered in the final.

    Also if I was the manager I wouldn’t have played both Bell and Foden in same team. Rotate them and play Eze or Gordon on left wing.

    Kane also should have been rotated more with Ollie and Toney.

      He is "only" 10.5 and being 2 million cheaper than Salah makes him probably better fpl option. Fixture dependent possibly though. Saka and Foden are also likely to be around 10 million, so even though I don't like "price points", team structure that allows to have 2/3 is certainly something to consider.
