Both of them had a great Euros Competition. Kyle Walker made life difficult for whoever that came up on him. Gakpo? Nico Williams? Whodo you want to mention? He's 34 and be still proactive like he is 24Years old. As for Dani Carvajal, same way he performed atba top level for Real Madrid during the Champions League Competition, he did the same for Spain. He is such a good example of consistency and dedication to them youngins.

It's difficult to say who should leave or stay for me (Must have said something about this before ) Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are great lads, don't you dare forget the name Olmo who was also instrumental during games they played, on the ball and also off the ball.

I watched Marc Cucurella as a Brighton player, then I watched him without bias and I know how good he was attacking and at the same time defending, I also know he had his first Premier League Competition goal against Manchester United. He has been utilized wrongly or he needed time to settle down. I'm certain he'll get better next season.

Akanji shouldn't have made it, I'd rather the name Rudiger.

Talking about the offers for some of these players, we know many of the players on that list would get something higher when it comes to the demand for their services, like Arsenal linking up to Nico Williams and his price value won't be as same as when the tournament was still young and now I think it would be much higher, but can Arsenal even try to get this players? I don't know about the other players but Nico is the only one I've seen that both Arsenal and Chelsea are going for and the player don't have it in mind to play for Barcelona, so would it be a positive addition to the Arsenal side if he eventually joins the Gunners coupled with the players they have?🤔
To make money some of these clubs won't have a rethink on letting some of these players go, like the likes of Saliba of Arsenal, I still think MADRID would do everything humanly possible to get him on their side and I feel it would be a bad choice if Arteta to let him join the Spanish power house Madrid.

It is not surprising that Southgate resigned from coaching the England national team. The reason is, he has also coached the England national team for quite a long time, namely since 2016. Apart from that, while coaching the England national team, Southgate also had great difficulty presenting trophies for the England national team. Even in two editions of the Euro, including the current edition, as we know, Southgate failed to present a single trophy for the England national team. So it was natural that he chose to resign, because he felt he was not suitable to be England national team coach. Maybe Southgate is having a little difficulty in managing the players that the England national team currently has. Because as we know, currently the majority of players from England are star players. Maybe because of this, Southgate cannot control the players in the England national team more freely. And because of that, the England national team's performance was less than optimal and their chemistry was not well formed.

So for now the England national team must be able to find a coach who has excellent leadership attitudes. Because that way England's star players can definitely be managed well. Currently, it seems that there are several potential coaches who will be rumored to replace Southgate in the England coaching chair. The coaches are Lee Carsley and Eddie Howe.

Yes, this may be unpleasant, but the fact is that Spain is above England in almost everything. That's why, when the live final took place, we could see that Spain's possession of the ball was very good and even dominating. Their mentality is really strong, not only offensive, but their defense is also very strong. The Spanish players were on fire, really on fire at that time, so their motivation increased drastically, matched by their ability as individuals and as a team when competing, which was extraordinary. Spain really deserves to be the winner.

Yes, it is very natural for Southgate to resign as the main football manager/coach of England, if not, then he will become the subject of criticism because he is considered not really optimal. Yes, even though he certainly has done the best, however, he will not escape England's failure to become champion. But, whatever it is, thanks to him that brought England to the final.

The decision contains pros and cons, because after all, Southgate has accompanied England for a long time and this is not easy for him. He has, but it all has to end, and England still has to continue to improve and prepare for another championship match. Because

They officially announced the best players during this tournament and now I guess since we are in the summer and transfer windows are open in most of the leagues, we are can see some more offers for these players they had good performances.
This can make everything hard for these teams to keep the players there.

What's your point? England had an easier path and they went through it worse. But we can make an assessment from the other side: before the start of the tournament, England was the main favorite (rated slightly better than France), Spain was rated 3 times worse. If I remember correctly the odds were approximately 3 and 10+. But by the finals the roles had completely changed and Spain was already the favorite and they confirmed their status. It turns out England failed, doesn't it?

There is no doubt Spain were dominating team in this event with they won 3 games in group stage and concede no goal and having all wins into knockout rounds with just Germany game were tough for them but still things were well under control in all event which allow them to have win in this Euro 2024.

Spain having good squad with many skilled and quality players if they are not having any serious injury then most chances we will have them at their best in coming world cup even we are having good teams into South America but still things are favourable for the Spain to have good chance of going into top spots because they are doing good job in all departments of the game and their quality and consistency is amazing for staying into top teams.

Whether luck or not , it was recorded that they reached the finals and they would have even caused some kind of upset too if only they didn't go back and relax after scoring that equalizer because the goal made them relax and Spain was tirelessly working in the Frontline with the likes of William and yamal running down defenders on a steady.

Winners usually get a better sign from the "players of the tournamnet" type of stuff, but I disagree. Just because spain won, they put so many Spanish players there, and to be fair they played all well too, but Olmo? I do not think so. I think even Akanji is in question, I just don't think that they were as good as this, fabian ruiz wasn't that great neither.

First of all, Jude wasn't "this" bad, ok maybe he wasn't as good as his Real Madrid level, he played better at the club, so I agree, but not in the 11 players of the tournament? Are we insane? Dude still played awesome, hell that over head kick goal to make them go on? That goal alone itself puts him here, anyone who thinks he doesn't is beyond imagination. And this is me, being someone who has never set foot in UK ever in my life, I have no connection to them, and yet even I feel mad about Jude not being in there.

This feels too biased to winners and I think he deserved it even more than Kyle Walker who is his countrymen. I would put in some other different players as well, but I do not want to just do all of this in a post, I think everyone basically can see that they would all have at least one or two players they would prefer.

You consider Germany and France to be very strong opponents for Spain, while you consider Netherlands and Switzerland as weak opponents for England. Find out more about what Netherlands has achieved in football and how strong Switzerland is in football. Germany and France were tough opponents for Spain and Switzerland and Netherlands were much tougher opponents for England. You have to accept that England performed well in the quarter-final and semi-final matches which led them to qualify for the finals, while Spain's field is the same. However, Spain definitely performed better than England in the final match, attacking as well as counter-attacking which is why they got success against England. With all the players England have in their squad, it is certainly possible to beat the best teams in the world.

For me that was privileged to watch most of England, Spain and Germany games in the just concluded UEFA Euros Championship, I think I quite agree with you to an extent. Germany before they were eliminated by the eventual winners of the tournament Spain were visibly better than England in terms of performance and would've stood a better chance of eliminating England if the two teams had met each other in the competition. Germany who happens to be the host nation was unfortunate to meet a stronger team like Spain in the quarter finals which was why they got knocked out while England on the other had was lucky with knockout stages draw. They had to face teams that wasn't as strong as Germany, Spain or France till they reached the final of the competition. England wasn't convincing with their performances but they managed to get to the finals which was what they wanted but couldn't get the ultimate prize because they faced a better team like Spain

Kyle Walker may be one of the players who probably shouldn't be in the squad, but we don't know what underlies UEFA choosing Walker as one of the players who deserves to fill the position of the best defender on the right side of the euro team defense during the Euros played this year, if we look at Walker performance he is actually not able to make much of an impact on the English defense and even in the final we can see if the English defense is too It is easy to exploited by Nico Williams, especially in the final match I saw that Walker left his position too often and went up to help England's attack and instead it became a blunder that made it easier for Nico Williams to provide a pass for the Spanish striker to score.
In recent years Spain has continued to produce a lot of young talent who can compete at international level during this time, and I think we will continue to see Spain become a very strong team for the next few years after the regeneration they are currently doing.

Because the team was very poor, the real final, in my humble opinion, was Spain - Germany.
That was the real final.  Among other things, we can say that it is the match where Spain suffered the most (even a red card)
So England reached the final by pure luck.

I am very comfortable with the front 3 and assuming Musiala got to the finals and eventually Germany wins, he would have been the best player of the tournament.

The midfield is also fine and I must commend the team of 12 technical men who compiled this eleven. A friend of mine was arguing that Jude Bellingham should come in for Olmo. Bellingham who did nothing but using strength to muscle his way out save the equalize goal he got in the 90+ mins.

Someone argued that because he didn't do something similar for the next match penalty kick against France. But I think that once was ok for him to be here unless he conceded more goals.

If England meet Germany in the Knock-out round, they will go home early from this tournament, because their performance is still far behind Germany. Spain managed to get rid of Germany, the quality that Spain has is very difficult to match, especially England who qualified for the final by faltering.
England must learn from their failures in the last two finals to achieve success in the next tournament. The quality of the players is not a guarantee that they can win the trophy without being supported by the brilliant cooperation and tactics of the coach. Now that Spain has proven itself to be the winner of the most European trophies, Spain's golden era will probably continue because the majority of its players are still very young.

Agree. Because England football team gave their hundred percent and win and lose is a part of game and nobody can win every day and every match because one day you are winner and may be you will be loser in the next day. Because team play the match and nobody can play the match individually and no team can win the match  if single person is performing in te team because team is very important if you want to win any tournament from low level to high level because if players will practice that things in low level then they could perform well in high level. Because in the tournament we want only win and we have to play know out game and if we lose the match we are out of the tournament. That is reality of football team and everyone accept that teamwork is everything.

I'm comfortable with the front three players, they're all three brilliant players for both club and country. Breaks my heart to see that Germany didn't go too far.
Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are also wonderful talents, they'll be blazing if Nico Williams's move to Barcelona happens very soon.

The midfielder's too are the exact names I wrote down in my rough note even before this first eleven players of the Euros Competition came up. Daniel Olmo deserves a better club, I don't have no idea if he'll be leaving RB Leipzig for any other club during this transfer window market.
Game after game, I have always talked about the names Rodri and Fabian Ruiz, do I need to say how much important they're for spain? They're the spine to this Spain squad. What I love about them is how they detect plays and link the defenders and attackers.

The defense is not complete without Toni Rudiger, he didn't go so far in this tournament but we all saw his impact. Asides him, I'd go for Laporte or Virgil Van Dijk. Are they trying to patronize that France Goalkeeper? I'd even pick Diogo Costa for Portugal who saved all those penalties.

Overall, Spain's performance was much better than England's. Spain also faced strong teams such as Germany and France. England faced the Netherlands in the semifinals and England were only able to score 1 goal from open play and one from the penalty spot. England played safely against the Netherlands and that is what they did against Spain. Unfortunately Spain's game was much more attractive and I think Spain really deserves to be champions of EURO 2024. You can look at the statistics for England and Spain in the final and Spain played beautiful football while England played with long balls and had difficulty penetrating the Spanish midfield.

I agree that England faced teams that were easier than Spain when going through the top 8 phase to the semi-finals, whereas Spain from the start was faced with popular teams whose strengths were extraordinary, especially Germany and France. Therefore, it is not surprising why Spain had a different quality in the final. England at Euro 2028 will no longer be coached by Southgate and this is good news because at least there is a new opportunity in the future that England can make more use of its star players on the pitch.

I think so too. If they had clashed with Spain or Germany after the group stages, they might have been eliminated and not have reached the finals. But they did and although they tried to put up a fight, they just weren’t a match for Spain and it showed in the possession and the general gameplay.

I had high hopes for England and for Kane to finally bag a major trophy in his career but Spain wasn’t having any of it and were more determined to win the trophy and went on to win it while putting up a strong performance.
