Harry Kane is really unlucky at all, people always say he is cursed that he will never taste the trophy, so what to do with this mistake, although this is just a theory, it is not scientific.
He also went to Bayern Munich for the 2022/23 season, this team did not win any trophies, meaning that Harry Kane was in bad luck, about scoring goals he did not need to be doubted.

England fans were disappointed again with Southgate's strategic efforts, although many players were backed up he never made good use of the opportunity, as well as Foden and Walker he did not stand out.

In my opinion, the match was quite short because it only lasted 90 minutes without any extra time so the final this time was quite predictable. England is indeed below Spain in terms of quality of play, for some reason the young Spanish players are very capable of having an extraordinary mentality. Yamal, Olmo and William moved freely by creating space in the English defense which was actually strengthened by Man City players. However, seeing Walker, Stones, even Foden as strikers, they don't have a clear vision of playing.

Congratulations on Spain win, playing 7 times without losing at the Euros. It will be a bright future if Spain is able to maintain its squad. England are losing hope and yes I want to say that the Harry Kane curse is real. Starting from Tottenham, Bayern Munich to the England national team, they have still not been able to lift the trophy. In the last 8 years, he competed in 6 different finals but Kane still couldn't win the title.

Exactly my thoughts too and the big question I keep asking myself is why didn't he call on the service of Sancho because Sancho was a really great player last season despite the slow start but after he swapped to Dortmund he was absolutely brilliant and deserved the call and he would have impacted alot to the squad as he can move very fast with the ball.

Maybe it's just their lot. I guess they should be the proverbial Moses who manages to see the promised land but never enters it. Sadly, another man who was desperate to lift the trophy with his team as his club couldn't do it was Harry Kane. Although he didn't play his best but he managed to deliver anytime he got the chance but luck wasn't on his side and some might say he's not destined to be a champ, at Bayern Munich where we thought he'd win something and all through the season no title even the Euros he thought would be his first didn't come home with him, it is so sad for such a player like him.

Maybe Spain is stronger than Argentina. Because there are several young talented players in the Spain squad. And with the help of coach Fuente, these young players are able to consistently perform well. Especially youngsters Williams, Olmo and Yamal are in great form. And we have seen good performances from these players in every Euro match.

However, the Argentine team cannot be called weak. Di Maria retired. Still, Martinez and Alvarez are able to perform well. So I don't think Argentina will be too far behind Spain. Also, the chemistry between Argentina's players is very good.



Argentina struggled to win the final, however Argentina won the match. Colombia was no weak opponent. So Argentina played very carefully. Argentina kept their defense strong in this match. Argentinian coach Scaloni is an excellent coach. He also takes into account the strength of the opponent and then formulates his own match strategy. This is the reason why Argentina team has been able to perform consistently well for the last 3/4 years.

It's beginning to seem like Harry Kane is been cursed as the most unluckiest player in football history. It will be heartbreaking for him to process each he remembers that, playing in different league finals, with no victory achieved.



For England's loss match to Spain, Southgate is to blame for it because he had many useful players on the bench that would have won the Euro trophy for England.

It's because they did not want to proactively attack in their matches and when they were led by opponents in several matches in Euro 2024 including the final match, they had no choice rather than trying to attack and find goals. They played better after getting conceded goals but in the final match, they got the second conceded goal too late like how they scored a winning goal against Netherlands. With some minutes left, it's almost no chance to find a goal when opponent tried to defend their advantage seriously.

This final match is another version of Euro 2020 final match with Italy. England team played bad in ball possession in both matches against Italy in 2021 and Spain in 2024. That means Southgate did not learn big lesson three years ago or he failed to find solutions for England star players.

England made a bad record as a first team in Europe lost two consecutive Euro final matches. They are the first ever team got two defeats like that.

Keeping in bench the best players that would give him the needed result only to bring them in at a limited time Gareth Southgate killed England chances of lifting the Euro2024 trophy, Gareth was persistently doing same thing in all their games and for what luck that was on his side he was narrowly getting away with it,

but his incompetency in making the best use of such squad was made glaring in their meeting with Spain at the finals. Losing two finals at a row. With a better coach England has all the players to win this tournament which makes the call for his sack a necessity if England wants to win any major trophy.

Spain made a 100% win record. Lamine Yamal and Williams Jnr and Rodri impacted greatly to the victory of Spain and it can't be overemphasized. They deserve all the individual titles awarded in this tournament. Spain is one team to watch out for in the World Cup.

Southgate may be an experienced coach. He has been in charge of England's coach for 8 years. And what are the achievements of England in these 8 years? In this year's Euro, England reached the final. But to be honest, England's performance was like an average team. And we had already predicted that England's win against Spain was unlikely unless this performance improved.

England squad has many star players. And every player is talented. This is the only reason I am criticizing Southgate's match strategy. Despite having so many star players, Southgate failed to stabilize this team. And this failure is definitely coach Southgate's. I wouldn't have criticized Southgate if England's squad was weak.

English players actually look better if they are in a situation where they are behind because their play is braver and they are not careful in attacking. It's just that after they managed to catch up, their attitude of being cautious again made England become monotonous.

In the match against Spain, it was actually evident that when England was 1 goal behind Spain, they tried to change the flow and this was visible when Palmer entered the field.
It's just that when they managed to equalize the score, Southgate's mistake was to direct England to play more carefully, even though if they continued to increase the intensity of their attacks, I think the situation would be more different, especially considering the speed of the attacks, England could actually be superior.
Now the results of the match are in and England must accept acceptably that they have to build more chemistry for now.

If Spain had lost the game yesterday, I think we would've seen newspaper headlines like "the best team of the tournament couldn't win the ultimate prize". That's how incredible Spain been in this summer's UEFA Euros Championship. No other team could match their strength on the pitch and none could even stop them as they were able to win 7/7 games they played in the competition.  It's a competition that announced one of football's hottest property at the moment Lamine Yamal to the rest of the world who couldn't see his good of a player he was with his club. The young Spaniard came to the tournament as the youngest player to have ever featured the competition and left as one of the best debutants of all time as he was able to break and set many records both European and world records.
England who I feel also deserve the trophy because of their consistency in the competition in the last two editions will have to wait for another four years before they can try their luck again

agai and again, England had to abandon their dream of winning the Euro champions trophy after a quite painful defeat to Spain yesterday, Southgate is a specialist coach who was able to take England to the final but was unable to do much to win the championship trophy, twice in the final and losing twice from different teams should be a consideration for England to consider Southgate as coach at this time, even though Southgate succeeded in bringing England to the final, England performance in playing so far does not give them hope of being able to beat teams that play quickly and collectively like Spain, although Indeed, the England squad is currently filled with star players, but I think England's qualification for the final is nothing but luck if we look at their performance so far.
Since the final match started, I personally not sure if england will win the match, especially after seeing The line-up of players they fielded in that match, what you said is true, Southgate should must made a lot of changes since the start of the final match because so far Southgate has often reserved players who previously performed quite well and were able to determine their victory, I don't know what Southgate was thinking when he continued to play Palmer and Watkins after they had to work quite hard to catch up on balance goals in the match, so I think if Southgate had played them from the start maybe we would have seen a different result at the end of the match.

For the people who bet on Spain to win in regular time, congratulations on your win!    Spain are officially the team with the most titles in Euros with 4 titles while Germany are right behind with 3.



It was a magnificent run by Spain, no doubt on that... They won literally all of their games until becoming the champions. Only one of them ended up with extra time which was against another big favourite like Germany.

Yamal and Williams are really special players. They have a huge role in this title.    England players did their best despite Southgate but it was another sadness for them in another finale. Southgate should absolutely get sacked immediately. England can also dominate their games with such a great squad if they have a capable manager.

Harry kane's luck is really bad. Despite being such a talented player, he has yet to win any major title. Even with the club he failed to win major titles. Despite being with a big club like Bayern Munich, he could not win the Bundesliga title.

However, England qualified for the finals of the Euros because they were very lucky. Moreover, we have not seen good performance from England players in the past matches. Even in the final against Spain, the performance of England's players was comparatively poor. The Spanish players dominated the match. Despite England having a very strong squad, this team's performance is not as strong as expected.

Harry kane is actually the kane that killed Abel in the bible ahahah,  its unfortunate for him  I feel his condition it's looks as if his cursed or bad luck, he has to break that curse or bad luck next season by winning one trophy atleast.
Beside that Spain deserved the trophy they played a good football, they maintained 100% form from group stage to the finals they never lost a match, whereas England was just so lucky in all the games, they played poorly with poor coaching. It was a well deserved victory for Spain.

As predicted by me and most people in this thread, England was completely defeated by Spain. In this match Spain really dominated the game very well. The Spanish players were indeed able to overwhelm a team like England in this match. The reason is that in that match the English players were only able to make 4 shots which aimed directly at the Spanish goal mouth. This is enough to prove that England's forward players had great difficulty penetrating the Spanish defense. So with this victory, Spain managed to win its 4th Euro trophy, an extraordinary achievement. Meanwhile, England this time had to settle for being runners up to the euro. The reason is that in the previous edition of the Euros, as we know, England were also runners up.
But even so, I still appreciate the struggle shown by the English players. Because reaching the final is not an easy journey for them. So even though they failed again in the final, at least they fought as hard as they could.

Apart from that, talking about Spanish players, I was really impressed with Nico William and Lamine Yamal in this match. They are the perfect combination on Spain's front line. Therefore, in this decade Spain will not need to worry about thinking about its front line. The reason is that Yamal and Nico are the sharp spearheads for Spain at the moment. Apart from that, they are still relatively young so of course they still have a very long career in the Spanish national team.

And I also want to congratulate Spain on its 4th victory/trophy at the Euros.

I have never liked Southgate's match tactics. I have seen him make strange decisions many times during the match. And as a result the overall performance of the team was further weakened. Watkins was brought on by the England coach as Kane's replacement in the 61st minute. He did this as England won against the Netherlands thanks to Watkins' goal. But it is foolish to think that the same thing will happen in every match. Kane needed to be on the field for 80 minutes. However, Southgate lost against Fuente's match strategy. If England want to improve I think they should change coach now.

Sometimes we have to embrace things like this so some coaches will get it stuck in their brains that you don't rely on past glory when making a selection of players. Frankly speaking, England where even lucky to have come this far in this tournament, and even with the unmerited privilege, they couldn't make the best out of it. I just loved the fact that Cole Palmer has always found a way to redeem himself from the insult and has always proven all skeptics who undermined his strength wrong.

If England is interested in winning major international tournaments, they have to learn how to use hungry players who want to prove a point that they deserve to wear that jersey and not continue to rely on the likes of Harry Kane and other old players who have already paid their dues in the national team. Almost all the other teams that are currently relying on players that aren't in their form are still struggling like England and with the World Cup fast approaching, I hope they won't go in with this kind of attitude and expect to go far in the game.

Harry Kane is not cursed, y'all are just following the damn crowd. Football can be cruel and filled with bad moments, it's not over until it's over. Lionel Messi had the same faith before he was able to win his first international trophy. Do you want to know who's to be blamed for the back to back finals? Gareth Southgate, he is not a good coach, all these past games the players fought hard for him to get to the finals, he has a great squad he is not just a god coach. England National Team should start making good decisions, it's hard decision time now, let him go completely.

Cole Palmer is a great lad but he should have come earlier. Spain has always been the best side in this tournament and when you take a look at the countries they knocked, England wouldn't been able to do the same thing.

Rodri, Daniel Olmo, And Lamine Yamal all had special awards to go back him with. A better coach with this england squad would have won the Euros. They should look outside the box and get a non Englishman to manage the jobs. The likes of Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville are all talkatives.

Spain will win the match from the look at their performance yesterday. Spain was able to win all their matches without reaching penalty shootout and it was only Germany that stressed them to the extra time, the rest matches was won in 90 minutes. Spain can score dying minutes goal and win the match this was how they won the semifinals and the finals which makes me feel that Spain is stronger than Argentina currently.

Argentina had difficulty in winning the finals and I will say that it was luck because the Colombians football tactics was better than theirs. Spain is the strongest club currently from my own point of view.
