Best team won. Gareth will still go I reckon and it’ll be interesting to see who we get. Would be happy with Eddie Howe.
I’m glad I don’t follow football, how do you all cope with this week in week out
Was in bed watching on my phone and managed to fall asleep and miss every single goal

Spain deserved that. They were the form team for the tournament, played the best football, won all their games, beat the hardest teams and crucially better on the day today.
Good performance by a somewhat limited England though - a lot of subs didn’t get enough game time like Gordon, TAA, Watkins and Toney. Unrealised potential I guess
Really enjoyable match though - first half was so-so, but both teams cam out guns blazing for the second half,
They did deserve the win overall but England held their own and that Palmer goal was amazing
It’s the hope that kills you, at every level from grass roots up to internationals!
Can we change the name of the thread back now?
I agree and Grealish should’ve come.
I’d be up for less automatic Harry Kane selection (to avoid doing a Portugal Ronaldo situation) and at least try Watkins and or Toney for more of the game.
Really wanted to see what Gordon could do abroad too…
Of all the players who I wish we’d seen more of, Gordon was the one for me. Could’ve been so useful

Future looks good though. Handles pennaz well. Got an amazing squad. Maybe the next manager will unlock the talent.
England didn’t deserve to win but, but when they equalised they had the players on the pitch to win. They just needed to be bolder but they got pushed back again deeper and deeper by a very good Spain side. Another opportunity missed in a Euros final.
It is never coming home!
What an exciting game.
That’s me not in this thread for another 2 years.
It’s been fun - stay salty motherfuckers.
In fairness we won one again back in 2018 which everyone seems to have forgotten, that was the real turning point after god knows how long cocking them up.
Thread name changed. Toon UCL this season let’s go.
Gotta be gassed for Yamal
