    Southgate showing why he's the best England manager.. only playing attacking football when they concede.

    1. jacob1989

      Exactly..

  9. Thanos

    2 years, 3 days ago

    That save from Olmo is as good as scoring a goal. What a freaking save!!!!

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    To be fair football won.

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years

      Agree. Would have been the worst Euro winners in a long tims

  14. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    WHAT THE H*** REF???
    Blows right on the 4-minute??? Surely you add an extra 1-2 minutes for time-wasting DIVING around by those Spanish players?!?!?!?!?!?!

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      As if England would have done anything. He helped them out of their misery.

    2. El_Matador

      Happens all the time. One of the things I dislike about footy in general. Should be 30 min half with a stop clock. I reckon the ball was in play for 1 min max after 90 tonight.

  18. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    The best team in the tournament vs maybe like the 5th or 6th best team. The outcome was always clear

  19. Ninja Škrtel

    SACK SOUTHGATE. SO SICK OF HIM.

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      He will get a new contract 🙂

    2. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Before the game they said they were going to knight him after he won them the Euros…

  20. Flekken' Hell

    Time to hire a new boring manager for England. Gotta keep those buses parked.

  21. TheBiffas

    2 years, 3 days ago

    Kyle Walker is a fraud, his defensive awareness is hopeless and he was squarely at fault for that goal

    1. Touré De Force
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      You know zero about football

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Oh yeah actually you're right, my bad.

    2. Flekken' Hell
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      It wasn't. It was perfectly onside. They showed it on tv with offside line.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Trying to get justice after Lampard 2010 lol

  25. Flekken' Hell

    Petition to keep Southgate as English manager with a contract extension.

  26. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    how much do you reckon that engraving guy is getting paid? £12k?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        doubt it lol

  27. jacob1989

    2 years, 3 days ago

    Lets be honest. There were only 2 good attractive attacking big teams this euros. Spain followed closely by Germany.
    Then smaller teams like turkey austria Netherlands etc. were good but not enough talent to go deep. Dutch unlucky of course with var howler

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Dats da facts Jack

  28. Freshy

    45 points
    bang average I suppose

  29. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    SOUTHGATE must now resign...Yes Spain were good but England's tactics and team selection were poor.
    Well done Spain...good attacking football and the best team tonight

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      He should. He'd got us to a very good position, but he can't go to the next level. Showed Spain far too much respect tonight.

    2. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Well said

  30. Touré De Force
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    England did much better tonight than I expected. That was probably their best performance of the tourney against a world class Spanish side.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Really?? Apart from palmer goal england were awful and just defensive i feel. The same as other games they played

      1. Touré De Force
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        They made a better stab at it than France did

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Spain are just next level. They are playing real football, I feel like everyone else is just kicking a ball around most of the time with no real plan or logic.
