That wasn’t even as much of a snap shot as I thought. Criminal defending.

The English Berhalter does it again!
Is Southgate the best manager in the world? Or the best manager in the universe?

AAA has called a nice match. Potential prop bet king ova here.

Nothing like getting credit when the team wins despite you, not because of you.

England were the better team today and that was a worthy performance for a finalist. Let's hope they aren't too negative on Sunday.
B Maverick

Espana vs England!

I have to admit I was a little shocked when Southgate got the job. I was never impressed with what he did at Middlesbrough - but I'm not sure how you can be too disappointed with his results if you are an England fan. Who's done better?

That was basically Platt v Belgium in 1990 2.0

exactly, and it's not like this is the most talented English side ever too.
Results are results.
B Maverick

True, he hasn't totally bottled this talented team like some others have with their (Belgium, Netherlands, USA, etc)

Last WC was a disappointment but b2b Euro finals with a chance to win one. 4th place in his first WC. Feels like he needs to win Sunday to lead them to '26 but as a quasi-England fan I wouldn't be disappointed if he's the coach no matter the result Sunday. If he wins, well he's the coach maybe as long as he wants.

No one. Ever.
Major

I think so. I've made a mint in the past betting opposite of England in big matches. Rich betting nation always tilting the odds throwing sterlings around on their team.

On paper that is a good run. But with this team, and being England, if he doesn't win one of these, its a failure.

I wonder if a team has ever advanced to the finals whilst leading in fewer minutes in the knockout stage.

Can’t recall any recent big Spain v England tournament games. Hope they cut loose on Sunday.
I’m hosting a watch party and we’ll have a couple English boys over who are working with my son this summer as camp counselors.

The game tonight has a chance to be a classic but I fear it will look closer to a war field.

They never held a lead during the first 90 min in their last 4 matches.

A great run in 2021 but honestly losing that final at wembley to a weak Italian side was ultimately a failure. That game really should have been an England v Spain final.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
I’d give you disappointment but failure is too far, IMO. When there’s Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Belgium and then for WC Brazil and Argentina. All those side have had basically similar talent on average over his tenure.

The most recent one I recall was 96 where we won on pens
B Maverick

Then it comes down to coaching. Or FIFA wanting Messi to win. Either way he is in danger of making this team into Belgium.

Southgate probably played in that one. Hope he made his pen!

I'm sure you're trolling but it was Germany he missed against
CletiusMaximus
Footballguy
Not trolling. I knew England had surely played Spain in a big tournament but had no recollection of that game. It is surprising its been 28 years since they've played in a tournament. Probably a few qualification games in there somewhere and some friendlies.
Charlie Steiner

The Spanish definitely have an armada of talent to send against England.
TennesseeJed
Footballguy
Last games were in 2018 - they split a pair of Nations League matches.
Otherwise - 7 friendlies (no qualifiers) since 1996. Spain hold a 4-1-2 advantage.

I wasn’t totally paying attention thought it was Darke that said it twice, which seemed even worse. Thought my stream was glitching or something

Damn. Full on tackles from behind. Thumb punches to the gut. 3-way slide tackles. It's like a highlight package from a 1970s game in England.
Best part is the way they argue about the yellows. Some of these are borderline RED in 2024 and they act like the ref just shot their mom.

So help me here. Who in soccer history has a similar player profile of disappointing at club level and being so damn good internationally like James?
NewlyRetired
Footballguy
oh I hope that is not a red. ******** Uruguay keeps baiting players into doing stupid things...

crap....this was a fun game. Now it is going to get really ugly.
