Spain better team , better coached and better tactically .

 

[JimW]

That header ping pong not going in seemed to tell you.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Ah well.

Well done Spain. And England you still did us proud.

 

[dessiato]

Oh shove it dess, celebrate once you've won but this shit is tantamount to rubbing people's noses in it

Can I celebrate now? I'm going to anyway.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

So close, fine margins and all that.

Well played Spain, and congratulations to all their fans except dessiato who can fuck off.

 

[tommers]

Fuck all this magnanimous bullshit tbh.

 

[The39thStep]

Can I celebrate now? I'm going to anyway.

Congratulations.

 

[oryx]

It's cold comfort, but 2-1 is an honourable defeat against a side like Spain.

 

[dessiato]

Congratulations.

Thank you. I wasn't always sure England wouldn't win tonight.

 

[ruffneck23]

I'm glad I didn't go to the pub.

 

[Kaka Tim]

oh well. no complaints - spain were awesome. England - soild defence and brilliant attacking moments but need more control in the midfield - but thats been clear all tournament. brilliant goal from palmer for the equaliser.

 

[Wilf]

Fo9

Ah well has to be said they were the stronger team, England not disgraced themselves though.

Shame Saka didn't seem to have the confidence to take defenders on - the time he did led to the goal didn't it? That was wonderful strike by Palmer.

Aye, fair play to both sides. Spain the best team in the tournament, by far, but England deserved their place as under/overachievers. *

* take your pick.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Can I celebrate now? I'm going to anyway.

Yes. Congratulations.

 

[Lotte]

Thank fuck it wasn't penalties.

Also, congratulations, Dessiato.

Wanted England to do it for my grandad but they fell short.

 

[strung out]

Sadly, Harry Kane’s loser gene was just too strong.

 

[Lotte]

Spurs: it's contagious.

 

[skyscraper101]

England have been painful to watch throughout this whole tournament. At no point has it been comfortable viewing. Tonight was no exception. A quality Spanish side sure who deserved the win, but fucking hell England lost posession so often while Spain provided a masterclass in keeping possesion and capitalising on it.

[Favelado]

Fuck all this magnanimous bullshit tbh.

Don’t. The Spanish are bad losers. It’s a good thing about our culture that we do the magnamanity.

 

[Wilf]

Their 2nd goal must have been a microscopic mist off being offside.

 

[tommers]

Sadly, Harry Kane’s loser gene was just too strong.

Now it's over I think we can say that he was shit throughout.

You can't play a "low block" with a statue up front.

 

[planetgeli]

Bye bye Southgate

 

[SpookyFrank]

Hard to begrudge 'em, been the best team all tournament, and we did better than I feared.

I just wish we played more consistently to our potential. We saw it, just not nearly enough.

Southgate's loyalty to old man Kane was a big factor I reckon. He didn't warrant a start tonight.

 

[Favelado]

Their 2nd goal must have been a microscopic mist off being offside.

It was a slither of a kneecap on the animation i saw here

 

[Monte]

That's it!
I'm boycotting paella and San Miguel.

 

[Ted Striker]

Sadly, Harry Kane’s loser gene was just too strong.

Spurs: it's contagious.

 

[tommers]

"why did we only start playing when we went a goal down?"

"cos we took Harry kane off at the same time."

Two close decisions within the last 24hrs
