Surely england cant lose back to back tournament finals right

It's the story of English/British sport.

 

[Yippee Ki Yay]

Anyone know the # of goals England has scored when foden in the pitch vs # of goals when he’s subbed off

We have scored 6 overall so I think it is 2 when he has been on the pitch and 4 when he has been subbed off

Very few international teams combine quality style and tactics with world class players. Swiss for example were great tactically and system wise but don’t have game changers. And there’s teams like France and England who play conservative football and rely on moments from their elite players

It’s why Spain look so good as they combine both but yeh generally international teams are pretty average. England aren’t the first and won’t be the last international team that play fairly dull football who get to the final (and possibly win it)

Even Brazil 2002 was a conservative defence and MF that relied on the magic of the 3 Rs. Argentina worked their socks off to give Messi the moments to win games.

It’s why Spain of 08-12 is the GOAT international team (although even they played pretty dull stuff at times)

Spain favourites but they look susceptible to counters and transitions and England struggle most with teams who sit deep. See the contract tonight between the first and second half.

At the bolded part - The Brazil 2002 team was one of the best teams to ever win the WC. IMO

ANOTHER final.

This was my first tournament joining the "Southgate out" mob and the cheeky house elf has pissed all over all our shoes by finally pulling out some glorious football and taken the team to ANOTHER full tournament's worth of games

Plans for final day lads. Plans for fukking final day.

Serbia Denmark Switzerland and first goal today when he's been on the pitch. Slovakia x2 and winner today when he's been subbed off.

Spain is the more exciting side, but England dumb luck is overpowered at this point. I wouldn’t bet against them tbh

Spain's problem with England will be everyone's problem with England. Crosses and headers. It's the one thing they're unquestionably good at and always train for. The matchups in the air will be crucial with the average height differential, especially if it's tied late and legs are tired.

Spain in 2012 and Argentina 2022 were the last two international tournaments where I felt the best team actually won

Germany in 2014, France marginally in 2018 and Italy being their jammy selves in 2021
