Can't believe the Germans are still booing Cucarella. Get over it.

DickEmery · 14/07/2024 20:10

Free kick!!!

Vallmo47 · 14/07/2024 20:17

Come on England. Nervous start…

PossumintheHouse · 14/07/2024 20:19

England are doing very well, much better than the last match.

TheLeadbetterLife · 14/07/2024 20:55

Good stuff so far, Spain playing a bit better, but England holding out. All they need is a good break...

Projectme · 14/07/2024 20:55

We're holding our own aren't we?!

C'mon lads; bring it home! 🦁🦁🦁

This has not aged well

"They just need the quality". .. well duh. Ffs how much money is running about on the pitch? And they lack "quality"...

DickEmery · 14/07/2024 21:23

Nearly.

Was that Tina from EastEnders in the crowd there?

StarCourt · 14/07/2024 21:36

YYEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Projectme · 14/07/2024 21:46

Ah 💩💩💩

x2boys · 14/07/2024 22:04

Aw ,must be gutting for the England team but tbf Spain was the best team by a mile
And England didn't disgrace themselves with a 2:1 finish

BMW6 · 14/07/2024 22:10

Oh well.

I don't think we'll win a trophy until everyone stops singing 3 Lions and shouting "It's coming home".

Cudz · 14/07/2024 22:14

Ah I kinda expected we'd lose but so hard to see ds upset after all the excitement and hope he had that England would win. Unfortunately it's a feeling he will probably have to get used to in his lifetime being the huge football fam that he is but hopefully one day he will see us bring it home 🙏

DickEmery · 14/07/2024 22:16

Fun fact: Spain scored the second goal just as Rose let go of Jack's hand in Titanic over on channel 4.

TheLeadbetterLife · 14/07/2024 22:18

England did brilliantly, I wish people wouldn't be so down about losing in a final. Spain have been fantastic all the way through. I've watched almost every match in this tournament and in that context England should be delighted with second place. Their first three matches were pretty dire. Great final.

Bloom15 · 14/07/2024 22:21

We were outplayed and Spain deserved to win. So glad most of our players didn't take their medals off the second they were given a- it's so disrespectful.

Impressed most by Saka and Palmer. 8 year old DS loves Bellingham because he is a Jude!

Fizbosshoes · 14/07/2024 22:22

I think I'd just about rather lose in 90 min than the agony of extra time and penalties...and still lose.
Gareth Southgate has got us to the final of the last 2 euros though, which is not insignificant.

MoonlightFarrow · 14/07/2024 22:24

Spain were the better team and have had a great tournament so no complaints with them winning.

Really proud of England’s performance, I thought they played well, got themselves back in it and made a game of it. Just a shame they couldn’t get a second when the momentum of with them.

I thought we played very well actually.

Can I just say it is nice seeing Scots actually happy to support England or just be nice? All I have read is bordering on xenophobic abuse to England. Thankfully I know it is the minority but it must be so embarrassing for nice Scots.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 14/07/2024 22:30

Expected..they've won every game so far.Shame but you can't keep going a goal down and then start playing better.

Better then way then on penalties. Mean rather have won but not surprised or disappointed really because Spain were always fav to win against us and showed why

DickEmery · 14/07/2024 22:31

It was a great game, Spain were better and deserved to win, they've been the best throughout this.

WithACatLikeTread · 14/07/2024 22:33

I didn't think we would get thrashed like some thought we would. We are a bit too good for that.
