As a Swede, ofc gutted that we missed the Euro's, but in Sweden having lived through a 4-4-2 shut-down-football for a decade. I lot of us Swedish fans are starving for that all-out-offensive-football. The hope is that with JDT as the new coach and Isak, Kulu, Gyökeres and Elanga as offensive star power, we see more 3-3 matches than 0-0.
Yea it’s a shame that now that we have all this attacking talent our defence and midfield is just terrible. Sure we have some upcoming talent in the midfield but I’m not confident for the future even tho we have some real ballers
I think that point at the end about Spain's DNA is an important one, that has been generally missed from the discussions after the final. If Real Madrid had beaten Arsenal in the final of the Champions League, everyone would be talking about how heritage has won out, surely that's the case with Spain vs England? Culturally, fundamentally, Spain are a better footballing nation than England. If the fact the Spanish team (national and domestic) have won the last 23 finals against non-Spanish teams doesn't prove heritage, I don't know what does. Southgate, Ashworth and the FA have done great work to get us to the point where we are actually winning finals, but maybe we need a different, (sorry Jim) possibly non-English manager to get us over the line.
Exactly. Many of my acquaintances were shocked to see Spain being so good in these euros. I was like, dudes, have you absolutely not reached any conclusions during the past few decades of football, both international and club level?
I think the diffence is, that before, even if a team were more defensive, they always had an electric player, that could make the match interesting to watch.
Would love to see some content about what you saw in the Portugal squad and where you think it went wrong for them. Was surprised that you were so adamant about them considering they had what I felt were clear holes in their squad.
I think that pre tournament, nothing less than a final is the only thing the press and public would accept for England. Given the knockout draw, this opinion was cemented, and that's how it's played out. A semi final exit would've ended Southgate's time. Now it's his choice.
6:27 i dont rhink its a must. But the net result of having a go and losing a semi final to a good team is the same as scraping a final and losing anyway. Id rather the former because at least we can say we gave it our best shot. I dont feel like England can say that this year.
Got to say, I never hear of this channel before but its a pleasure listening this guy. I am Spanish, British and Australian (yep, three nationalitites :)) So I was going to win the final regardless.
Great video and great coverage throughout the tournament. As a neutral, I think it was the correct result. England was so difficult to enjoy. As a Spurs fan, it felt like I was back in Mohrino or the late Conte seasons. Hopefully, this result will motivate England to embrace the game's beauty instead of tolerating turgid football.
I mean portugal didnt lose to france in the 120mins. They played alright and had chances to ko france. They'll be there for the wc if ronaldo pisses off. Gutted we didn't get to see spain vs portugal this tournament.
England did OK results wise I suppose but it was a bit like watching my team, Spurs, under Conte, I felt duty bound to watch but never really got excited or even felt much enthusiasm When Conte was at Spurs I often switched to my secret pleasure - the Brighton game At this championship Georgia were my Brighton as I thought they were amazing to watch
France, and Portugal were disappointing from the first game. Likewise England. Germany and Spain could be Final if there were not on the same side of the draw.
JLA content has been incredible throughout the tournament, major shoutout to your team. Smashed it honestly!
I said Spain from the start.. I should put the lottery on 😅
It was 20% chance so the payout wouldnt be huge ^^ 5£ becomes 25£
@@aleksanderthorset235 it was 10% not 20
so did i, spain in the final

Yeah just on paper Sweden is one of the strongest squads not to make it. Hopefully better next qualifying.

3:25 The Spanish equivalent is actually Los Bangos Bangos

The content you created during the euros was fantastic. Keep up the good work on your channel pal.
You are class James. Love your style. Wounded about England. Roll on August.
I got 9.51 odds on Spain winning it at Pinnacle. Easy clap 🎉
Love you Jim. Our time will come eventually x

James, I'm pretty sure bullish as an adjective means enthusiastic and excited rather than anticipating a poor performance.
I've said Spain will win it since the friendlies, especially against Brazil.
Just like someone said, I should've bet on them 😂

This channel has helped reignite my enjoyment and love of football again, thanks for the great content
"The ingrain in Spain 🇪🇸 allows them not to go on the plane," 😅😂 Well done, James!
Retiring for international football concentrating on club football 😂 So much hurt with England over the last few years

I guessed both Spain and Argentina, but didnt put a bet on it 🤦♀️

Backing martinez is making me laugh, he's shocking 😂😂😂
I was 2 minutes away in Englands semi from my prediction of Spain win over the Netherlands lol
Glad Spain won they deserved it the whole tournament.
I guessed the two teams in the final for the copa america and the euros correctly and i also picked the right winners.
Should have gambledd 😭.
Don't feel too bad James, the best player got 70%. Although, I got 52%... Better luck for the Premier League 24/25 🙌
Given how the teams ended up playing thank god football didn’t have to endure a France England knockout game
lol everyone saying eth out it's just a friendly it doesn't mean anything
Even if Italy didn’t score last minute Albania would of been 3rd
So your absolute carcrash was severely underestimating Spain. No comment on that, just saying.
We had a laugh last night, i's only you guys that need the laugh
oh do shut up mate. youre watching an english channel, about an english sport, from an english fan
I said germany netherlands final 😢. Still feel like germany were robbed a bit
Portugal were never going to be good with Ronaldo starting
Why do you continue to do the camera side view and then back…. Like why? 😂
@StephenC1908 haha, it’s just a bit odd but it is what it is lol no hate, just general curiosity
A BIT LATE FOR THAT NOW.😂.
Predicting Portugal to win the tournament when they have such a terrible manager and excessive sentimentality towards CR7 was utterly tragic!
hindsighet eh pal
James I will not stop complaining until you explain why you WOULDNT PUT CLIPS into your replays! Still images do fuck all

@@JamesLawrenceAllcott Like you did with your terrible predictions and awful Southgate takes 🤣
