I look forward to this podcast every morning. I am going to miss this as much as the tournament itself!
same here .. best football podcast
Yeah, it’s great, sums up what you’ve been thinking overnight, plus these guys give you great insight’s without geeking out. Good laugh too.
they should carry on even if it's once a month or every so often
same
Do you know they’ve been doing this every few days for like a year? This isn’t just for the euros
Guys I think you three should do a football travel show, visiting all the football nations learning different cultures and youth systems etc.
Great idea, also world derbies.
Great idea but think needed here for long old season, imagine these 3 not being on our tv 😢
@@robertsampson3772 that would be a sad day.
Top Gear but footy 👀
Good idea that
Shearer has improved a lot as a pundit. He used to be very bland when he first started, but his co-comms and analysis are way more passionate and honest now.
This podcast has been fantastic over the tournament. Two of the greatest England strikers of all time, they know what they're talking about. Honest and passionate.
I really like him on this pod because he doesn't have to filter himself, he can be the sweary Geordie we all know him to be. It's much better than the BBC filtered version of himself
@@chockablock34839 He's not a pundit.
Ah, ok.
I couldn't stand him for a long time. Unless it came from the North or was in the Premier League he had nothing good to say about it. He's still not 100% convinced me but he's been much better lately.
Not a fan of his commentary at all, he has to mention in a different fashion all the time he used to play. It's boring.
His punditry has definitely improved though, I saw a recent throwback clip of him with Alan Hanson and Ian Wright. It wasn't just Hanson that made them look amateur, they were overpaid fans.
Just want to say thank you to the everyone involved in The Rest Is Football. You've been part of my daily/morning routine every morning for the euros and it's been a pleasure! Going to feel weird when the daily episodes stop!
Spot on !
Helped me carry on with the euros after us germans goin out.
Wish u guys luck in the final .
Hope to see happy folks when goin through heathrow this tuesday
@@ringrun9872 very kind comment 👍
@@ringrun9872top man! Thank you mate, shame Germany aren’t still in, we could have had a classic England Vs Germany final.
Agreed.
@@OfficalFaz it was close against spain. That possible PEN and minutes later the goal in the 120th minute ... that was some hard shit hitting the fan right there.
Don’t know what I’d do without this in the morning now 😂😊
Prem coming back soon.
@@broken1394 I know but I am #MUFC supporter 😂🥲
i go to the gym.try it. these just spout the same old waffle
me too ..
Tbh I felt like that when we stopped having 3 games a day. Like what I am supposed to do with my evenings now?
Micah forgetting he's actually chatting to proper first name on the sheet England captains. "when you were on the bench" LOL
You could see the pair of them getting ready to hammer him halfway through the question! 😂
Ahh I did feel sorry for him haha to a different pair of players would have been a great question but you're talking to 2 of England's greatest ever strikers and they let him know that aswell
😂🤣
Aqaaaaaq@@GIBBO4182
Micah is a useless pundit. I've no idea why he keeps getting hired.
I love listening these three so much. No agenda bs, no idiotic takes. Just good banter and excellent analysis.
I’m sad to have come to it so late in the season - but bring on 24/25.
Great banter.
Bookies put huge pressure on Spain as big odds on faves & the 3 🦁 love it. As underdogs they will play free like brave strong lions hunting spanish prey.
I'm happy to win 1-0 with a late winner from worldy pass by Trent to Jude in the 90th minute & then hold on for dear life in the final 3 minutes of added time.
But of it ends 2-2 AET & 3 🦁 win 5-4 on pens, that's fine too.
Micah is such a good listener - never interrupts, clearly respects Alan and Gary. Top guy.
The player who scares me the most for Spain, is Olmo.
One of the most underrated players I know of and should have been a first choice target for any big club, ages ago.
He's a bit of a late bloomer, he's played a fair bit in Croatia of all places!!
He is class!! 👍👍👍
He's a great player.
I'm more worried about that triangle of Rodri, Luis and Olmo than anything else Spain have to offer tbh. They stay pretty close and outpass the opposition.
Everyone's worried about the wingers but I think that midfield is lethal, Rice V Olmo...
Yeah he's a baller surely a big club HAS to enquire about him, but honestly, we need to hope Trippier can deal with Lamal
He's been quite injury prone which I think has put people off
He is very injury prone, or he would have been at a bigger club already
From Australia, I could only get Alan's live text messages on BBC SPORT Radio 5 LIVE ... as coverage ... stayed up ALL NIGHT for it! Thanks ALAN!
Couldn’t watch the games on twitter? “England Stream”
Michael bridges on Optus (Aus broadcaster) is soooo baaadd … reminds me of the dark days when he used to do all the premiership league stuff. Amateur hour. He wouldn’t get a look in, in the uk but Aus tv is poor.
Get BBC sounds app plus a vpn then you can listen to bbc five live when football is on
Guy's! These shows are AMAZING!
Being completely yourselves, the banter, the swearing 😊 so funny and refreshing! Whilst giving a pro opinion! Honestly THE BEST FOOTBALL SHOW IVE SEEN!
PLEASE don't stop doing these! 🙏✌️❤️
As a Dutchie I'm gutted and thought not to listen anymore to the pod.. but here I am :)
How about that Watkins goal though
@@silewis9396 beautiful goal. I can't say otherwise.. haha
Wheyyyyyy
Unlucky this time my friend. The Dutch are great fans, great nation and great footballers.
My favourite lady is Dutch ( Floor Jansen) so I have a soft spot for the Dutch. We got lucky with the pen but we rarely get the rub of the green so we’ll take it.
I am a fan from Serbia, found the pod few months ago, now I can't stop listening to you guys. Amazing job!
Regarding the penalty, I believe that it was a penalty 100%. I had the injury that came out of the same situation, where a guy blocked my volley follow through, broke my foot, and I was sidelined for 8 months. As you all gentleman know follow through helps you navigate the direction of the shot, so in that sense it affected the play. Imagine scenario Harry Kane getting his foot broken and being subbed because of that, but the penalty not being given because the defender could not have played it any better :D.
Why do we even need the rules that support defensive plays so much, football is becoming more and more boring, managers and teams figured out how to defend efficiently against basically anything. I really believe that we need the rules to promote offense instead of supporting defense so that the game can once again become expressive and entertaining.
I completely agree. Defender impeded the follow through 100%
100% agree. Getting a bit fed up with English people and pundits basically apologising for us getting a penalty we deserved to get (and had the Netherlands got the penalty, they'd be moaning about it even more I imagine). It was a foul, obvious to anyone who knows the fact that the rules of football aren't still the same as the 80s. I've really enjoyed this podcast, it's just been a touch spoiled by this on the last two episodes.
The comment that "Kane followed through causing the contact" is just so off the mark. Go watch the highlights for the VAR incident and watch the movement of both players. Dumfries' foot is _still moving forward_ when he makes contact with Kane, and the connection occurs just a few frames after the ball is struck, with both players feet still both in motion - crucially, Dumfries is still moving towards Kane. He's not just "stood there , blocking the ball". He's attacking the ball, with his _studs up,_ but HE MISSED THE BALL AND KICKS KANE. It's irrelevant that Kane was also kicking, he strikes the ball. Dumfries missed the ball and was LATE. It's so clearly a foul, I've got no clue why anyone, particularly "experts", think otherwise. The fact is, the ref had all the time in the world to review it and thought it clear enough that he was willing to reverse his original decision. It was a penalty and it was deserved.
For me its the facts he go studs up, that for me is the dangerous bit, if he had been trying to kick the ball it might be different.
@@StealthBoyElite I agree it wasn't a penalty but don't mind the difference of opinion, can't agree it has been spoiled in any way. I appreciate the honest opinion
@@silewis9396 it's just the way the shine is taken away from the win. It's deserved but with this "luck" caveat. England won without needing luck.
Doing what us Villa fans have been seeing all season. Finish the job boys. Do us proud.
Hope not you finished 4th
Yeah, Unai Emery has been exceptional for him. Bloody brilliant for the lad.
Even Van Bastan, Cruyff and Seedorf would have been proud with Kobbie Mainoo Amazing performance against the Dutch what a special teenager England have ✔
Seedorf even said mainoo reminds him of himself, big stamp of approval
You just reeled off 3 of my favourite players of all time. I’m clearly showing my age. But yes, I agree.
I think Kobbie will be the difference in the final. I’m Welsh but want to see England win, the country needs some joy, and this team are super likeable. Pob lwc I ti gyd, good luck to you all.
Are you kidding!! The lad has a long way to go!!!
He’s made a pretty decent start! Seedorf is a cracking pundit too, the Beeb need to get him back on!
Watkins celebration was Inspiring!!
Not rehearsed , Just the look of pure joy on his face ❤
Amazing. Love how they all ran to him.
Alan is quality, pretty much always gets it right, class dude!
Al's co Comms is excellent, hope he decides to do more of it moving forward. Good balance of fan perspective without being biased and informative at the same time. Mon England!!!!
Lads i’ve listened from the very beginning of the pods, the coverage you have all done for this tournament has been outstanding!! Alan has been fantastic on co-comms,tv & radio. Well done & looking forward to the final!
This trio will never ever be replicated!! Absolute class ❤
I was southgate out - all tournament these lads have said we only need one big moment and it can completely change everything and I never believed it, how true it was! The Bellingham kick if we go on to win this will be that starting point.
One way or another Southgates England team brings England together and gives us some hope we can do it! We've never had togetherness in a team and you can see how close these lads are by how ramsdale celebrates for pickford.
I'm a city fan but Mainoo is an unbelievable player wow.
You can't argue with the stats but I'm still no Southgate fan. But football as a whole is boring now. So maybe my issue isn't with Southgate but with the state of football in general.
Nice for a Bristol City fan to say that about Kobbie
@@kaliban2747 Surely its Hull City
@@dalegrant9282 Lincoln?
Love the fact Mica has got Keano's book on his bookshelf
Well spotted
This is said on every single video… bore off
@@StephenCarrIsBald your a happy chappy aren't you 😂
@@martyjago8636He's right though. A lot of videos with the same kind of comment.
Did you notice Roy Keane's book on the shelf @@StephenCarrIsBald
As a Scotsman love the banter, fingers crossed for them in the final, great finish.. by Watkins..yea very lucky penalty but true, need the luck sometimes..
I LOVE this podcast! Spanish follower in Spain... This final is going to be the best in years, I'll probably have a heart attack too😅
I’d like to see you 3 do a Gordon Ramsey , gino and Fred style tv show together based around travelling and football
Kane moves like he's underwater
I'd love to see him and Giroud have a race, it'd be like racing washing machines
LOL.
@@dandylion1987genuinely think Giroud is faster which is crazy
He has a bit of a belly on his abdomen. He's like a balding, chubby 40 year old uncle who just has a sublime shot and clever
Kane runs like he’s wearing Timberland boots
It's a studs up challenge! It's a free kick anywhere on the pitch so therefore a definite pen!
You guys are a great team, like Shaq, Barkley, Smith and Ernie, you got great chem and really enjoy watching you 👌
Greetings from 🇬🇷
Giannais playing at olympics??
Nailed this podcast, been brilliant and a great lift during the euro’s.. Let’s hope this around the table chat stays..
3-5-2 with Kane and Watkins to start would totally throw Spain backwards..
England to win, safegate becoming sa goat..
As would an attacking 4-4-2, with crosses fired in from the wing
@@jakeforder9435 Spain would dominate the ball if we played 442. Need at least 3 players in there, preferably the box 4 in the last match
@@randomdaveUK I was being sarcastic
Y'all already forgotten Ivan Toney
Loving this! Micah - love also the vision you explained the other day about focus on subs vs 'finishers' - a change in positive mindset from what has been traditional thinking.
Great to see Foden play with freedom and fearlessness. He has the qualities to be world class.
We had a bit of luck in 1966 when that 3rd goal was given, never over the line 😆, that gave us a whole 50 years of bad luck which ended after Iceland knocked us out in 2016, we have been lucky ever since, but also have improved so much as a team.
(A copy and paste)
Here are some stats.....
In the FIVE tournaments prior to Southgate this was the record:
2008 - Didnt qualify - zero games, no wins.
2010 - 4 games, 1 win v Slovenia. Thumped by Germany 4-1 in the second round.
2012 - 4 games, 2 wins v Sweden and Ukraine. Out to Italy on pens in the QF (4th match)
2014 - 3 games, ZERO wins, out in the group stages
2016 - 4 games, 1 win v Wales. Lost to Iceland in the second round.
That is 15 games - 4 wins . Over FIVE tournaments.
Contrast that with Southgate's FOUR tournaments:
2018 - 7 games, 4 wins - lost to Croatia in the SF
2021 - 7 games, 5 wins - lost on pens in the FINAL
2022 - 5 games, 3 wins - lost to France in the QF
2024 - 7 games - so far 4 wins - reached another FINAL.
That is 26 games, 16 wins - in one fewer tournament.
Goals scored by England in four tournaments 2010-2016: 14
Goals scored by England in four tournaments 2018-2024: 43
Now do before 2008 🤣😂 and it's interesting you don't weigh the opposition. Southgate gets easier draws.
@@intenzityd3181 Well, in fairness, if we do before 2008 then it only gets worse.
@@intenzityd3181 Let's weigh up the opposition then...
2010: 0-0 vs Algeria. 1-0 vs Slovenia. 1-1 USA. 1-4 Germany.
You are welcome to continue! Please go back in time too. Maybe look at how we did in the 1970's. :)
Indeed. Feelings not matching evidence is hardly a new human experience or unique to sport.
There's also the tendency for people to worry and moan about things in equal amounts whatever their situation. The only things that change are the things that people worry and moan about.
Hence, "we don't go deep into tournaments" has become "We're not great to watch" or "we should be much better than this with the players we've got."
You can give Southgate credit without ignoring the extremely obvious flaws he has. If they go on a win this tournament he deserves a lot of credit, that doesn't mean he's not much more than an average coach.
Shearer is absolutely fantastic on the mic talking about incidents that have happened in the game
What a delight to listen to these 3 on football technical chat. I follow EPL from a distance, but both Gary and Alan left such an imprint in Euros and World Cups. Applause, lads...😉⚽️
The Shearer, Lineker and Richards trio are always really really good, but they take it to an even higher level in The Rest Is Football. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ollies goal for me was on par with Platts against Belgium and Beckhams against Greece, important and beautifully taken and perfectly timed.
This feels like when Chelsea won the CL in 2012, everything fell into place with a mixture of luck and skill. Come on England 🏴
Same when Liverpool won it in 2005. Luis Garcia's goal didn't cross the line in the semi.
Thanks Guys - I've been loving these EPs throughout the whole tournament! This has got to be now or never for England! Whatever happens, they've given us hope throughout, (along with an elevated reading on my heart rate monitor) 🙌🏽
You guys have done an amazing job with these podcasts - you've made this tournament feel so much more/like we fans are a bit more involved thanks to you guys sort of representing how we feel etc. Thanks so much! Ps. yes, its coming home
Shearer.. provides a good co comms 'shout'.. keep at it Alan. damn legend, great communicator.
I am Spanish and when I was a teenager I remember bitterly the quarter-final match of the Euro 1996 against England, which we lost on penalties (Rafael Nadal’s uncle missed a penalty). Alan and Southgate played on that England team. I hope that on Sunday the result will be different and Spain will win, but we must recognize the merit of this team from Southgate that has always been fighting for the titles in recent years. Individually I think England is better, but collectively is Spain. We will see who wins, although I hope a great final.
Alan is genius on co comms whether it be tv or radio. Listening back to the radio clip from the Watkins goal gave me goosebumps
That's what I like about the English, they appreciate great football no matter who's playing. They're honest with their observations on what happens on the pitch. Although I'm not cheering for them I wish them good luck.😊
im absolutely shocked that no-one seems to think it was a penalty - if that had happened anywhere else on the pitch it would be a free kick and there would be zero complaints. just because the foul came after a shot rather than a pass doesnt make it not a foul!
Watkins should always be an impact sub. He injects something completely different.
I still listen to Ian Dennis and Alan’s radio commentary for Liverpool vs Barcelona every once in a while. Sensational piece of media
Legendary commentary m8,still listen to it "SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE!"
Best sporting podcast around, love this show!
Welcome back Alan 'Pressure is for tyres' shearer. An episode without you ain't the same
Honestly, Sunday is such a massive game. If we win those Harry Kane trophy pics are going to hit so different.
Brilliant Guys - Thanks from an Englishman living in Madrid !
Watkins is a counter attack striker, better as a impact substitute within the current squad
Everyone calling for Watkins to start, did they see him vs Brazil as a starter? Kane is TOP scorer Euros, Top scorer UCL, Top scorer Bundesliga (european golden shoe) btw! Relax!
Exactly! It was a great goal from Watkins, but there’s levels
Well he has one game to score 4 goals lol. Your logic is bad, kane is literally playing awful atm
Kane is looking leggy and slow, Watkins gets in behind defences, I think Spain would rather have Kane upfront for England than watkins
Possibly not but they’ve seen Kane as a starter all tournament
Of course Kane is the top scorer in the euros he has played nearly all the minutes 😂 we’ll never know how many Toney or Watkins could have when they’ve had about 30 mins between them
The defender is not trying to block the ball. He is trying to kick the ball away before Kane reaches it. Defender was second to the ball with his studs up.
Well done boys for providing a superb podcast, with laughs, on England's progress abroad.
My favorite pod. Loving the growth. Don't think my comment would get noticed anymore. Keep it up guys
I'm sure it has been said many times in the comments: penalty decision - studs up...high foot... if that happens anywhere else on the pitch - the ref blows whistle for a foul and likely whips out a yellow card. (say whip again...) cool whip.. anyway... It was 'fortunate' that VAR got involved but that isn't luck... that is the correct decision. Bish bash bosh. We had the momentum, Netherlands on the back foot... We deserved that win 100%. Great stuff. Just wish Southgate would give opposition a proper headache down the left side with Gordon. Must've been Gareth's e-bike that he broke......? Great show guys - howay the lads...!
If that foul on Kane happened at pitch level, studs showing, no way would anyone say that’s not a penalty. It was. But because it’s in the air it’s different? Why?
Yeh, baffling that so many pundits are so certain it wasn't a penalty. The ref got to look at it as much as he needed and decided it was a foul based on the rules of the game, meaning he was so certain he felt it was enough to _reverse_ his original decision. It's _clearly_ a foul. Not up for debate. This kind of foul is given all the time, all over the pitch; he's late, he didn't get the ball before Kane did, contact was made AND his studs were showing! How is that "never a foul"? The concept that "Kane's follow through is the reason for contact" is nonsense. Dumfries put his boot up. If he doesn't, there's no connection. It's not like Kane kicked him on his standing foot, is it? Kane struck the ball, not showing studs, got there first and has a right to do this without someone shoving their studs up in the way of his strike. The reason this irritates me so much is it takes shine off of England's win, which was 100% deserved, _including the penalty._
Keane's argument was even worse. He even conceded that it would be a foul outside of the area but not in and his argument is the outcome (penalty, not free kick, stakes are "too high"). Utter nonsense. Dumfries took a risk and failed. His punishment was a penalty that Kane still had to put away for it to count anyway. Well deserved goal.
Exactly, he didn’t try block it putting foot sideways his boot was studs up and he lunged it toward Kane
@StealthBoyElite The stakes are irrelevant. Roy is just someone who thinks being happy for England makes him less Irish. As an Irish man I am supporting England all the way and have done my whole life. Glad that Ian Wright correctly said it was a penalty.
I was waiting for you two when Micah asked that question. I spat out my morning coffee when Al said ‘how the fuck would we know that’ 😂😂😂😂 Micah just opens them doors and you two walk right through 😂😂😂😂
The rest is football has been fantastic over the Euros, well done everyone 👏🏻
I remember seeing a lot of people laugh and question it when Southgate took Mainoo but he has been pure class, the link up between him and Foden is brilliant to watch.
These two are on a different level to the rest of the team with their movement off the ball and ability to recieve and pass in tight spaces.
Mainoo is overshadowing Bellingham in midfield. Bellingham is due a big performance against his Spanish amigos.
Thank you for avoiding being sponsored by a Gambling company As an Irishman i hope England win it.
This has easily got to be the best footy podcast out there surely. Look forward to very episode. Legends of the game we idolise just being themselves. Brilliant
Love the natural language wiv shearer and linekar, pub talk, brill 🇫🇴🇫🇴⚽⚽
It’s a clear penalty that’s why VAR flagged it. Ref saw in slow motion and realised the offence. The exact scenario is in the laws. It’s afoul anywhere else and the pitch and it is clear on the laws that if it occurs in the box it’s a penalty. If Dumfries got to the ball first there wouldn’t have been an offence.
Exactly. Foot was studs up and high.
All I would ask of Gareth is that we have a very strong bench that can and do effect games, do not leave it too long to act, let us not lose a final wondering !
The moment Watkins came on and started pressing it shifted the mindset and you could see space starting to open and everyone else started pressing. It was a complete change of play and looked fantastic.
Not taking away from Watkins but I feel like the reason it worked so well is because of how different he plays to kane. So after 80 mins of conditioning their defence to play a certain way marking kane. The formation drastically changed with Palmer and Watkins and it opened them right up creating an opportunity that Watkins had the talent to capitalise on perfectly.
I don't think it would work as well for a full 90 mins. These late substitutions are working wonders imo.
Do you think it would possibly work better against Spain? They were cut open quite a few times on the counter in their games running behind their lines and keeping them pinned back might disrupt them more. If Kane keeps dropping into midfield and no one up front then it’s just inviting Spain to run rings around us.
@@01bigtrev I feel like you have to adapt to the way they are playing. Although you can't be too defensive otherwise the assault is just relentless like we saw in Spain's match against Georgia. They sat back and they were having to fend them off every couple of mins.
It's definitely going to be a tough game. I just hope they can settle the game down and prevent Spain getting an early goal.
Then maybe they can make something happen from there.
I wonder if we'll keep the 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 formation we used against the Netherlands. It did help us push up the field in the first half.
Can’t wait to take this video in. THANK YOU. Digging your commentary during the tournament.
"Digging"
deffo pen dangerous play harsh but a pen guys and karma for 93
I think we will win this for our experience, maybe it’s because we bore the opposition to death with our style of play but it is working and unless Spain go 2/3-0 up early on I think we win this🏆
Absolutely brilliant podcast. Fantastic to hear Alan Shearer's thoughts on the game against the Netherlands. Always been my favourite England player.
These guys are the best.. My mood always gets lifted when I listen to these chaps.. Keep up the good work guys!
If England brings it home, it will be amazing.. Will be a tough task, but with the "luck of the Devil" it will happen.. 🎉🎉🎉
Please bring it home lads you can do it England
Micah would please clean your Microphone cover it's driving me nuts looking at the fluff mate .. "Tidy desk tidy mind" ❤❤❤
This podcast has been a brilliant addition to the tournament, I am just loving it! Thanks guys you are doing a fantastic job and the banter is top notch!
I really can't explain how happy I am that this podcast has grown so big. Over 200k views in half a day is remarkable. One of the very few podcasts where swearing is allowed 😅.
For me, who has seen every single episode from the first, it is refreshing to see how it has moved from episodes coming out in trickles to three times a week and the almost daily update now during this Euros. Just love it.
I don't have enough money or even a business to sponsor this but I see big sponsors coming in soon. Keep it up BBC team😂. We love you guys.
Sadly, Kane is on 3 goals and simply won’t allow Gareth to bench him. We will go 1-0 down and Gareth will take him off.
We need pace upfront from the start. Stop with the Kane obsession he's clearly not full fit and well off form.
We maybe shouldn't be surprised at how well England have done, despite not performing as we would all like. They have a talented squad with depth. You can make a very good first 11 out of players who didn't make the squad. Pope, James, White, Maguire, Chilwell, Henderson, Kalvin-Philips, Maddison, Grealish, Rashford, Sancho
If we do win, Maguire, Sterling, Phillips, and Rashford all deserve honorary medals. It feels like the journey to this final is the culmination from 2018 up until now
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
Kane has been poor all tournament, and England have been desperate for someone up front, the difference it made taking him off and replacing him with Watkins was incredible, although it should have been done after 60 mins or even at half time.
Kane is top scorer at the tournament
What’s the betting England are going to pay for that refereeing error for the penalty in this final. Hope the officials and powers that be don’t want to even things out. Great to see Al back
MICAHS GLASSES ARE PURE CLASS ❤
England 2-1 Spain, hopefully!
Come on England!
It's coming home!
If we win, I think it’ll have to be a sneaky 1-0
Come on england 🇬🇧 🏴
Still think it’s nuts that 2 of the worst managers in the premier league history were in charge of opposite sides in a euro semi final
Completely different job from club management.
I absolutely love these casual relaxed conversations. So so nice
Love these guys together. No hyperbole, just good football talk
Lets go England bring it home , from an American fan !
Thanks lads for the 5 minute explanation that a radio commentator has to describe more than a TV one because people cant see a radio
If a radio is in a wood but no one can see it, does it make a sound?
@@jimb9063It's half 9 in the morning and you have me thinking about quantum mechanics
Mainoo has been one of the highlights, the best thing about him is that his first instinct when he receives the ball is to turn and go forward. I wish we would've seen more of Gordon but there's no way Southgate has to stones to drop Foden or Bellingham, sooner or later he's going to have to realize you can't play two 10's. Bellingham and Foden are this generations Gerrard and Lampard.
He arguably has the best squad of players in the tournament and they are hailing Southgate as the next Messiah! He's only doing his job.
McCoist and Shearer together would be fire
Southgate simps have been out in full force. All the criticism was correct and we needed a huge slice of luck with the penalty at an important time in the game. England should be in the final with the opposition we’ve faced.
Some people will never be happy…
@@wrfootball3847 not reading all that mate!
@@GIBBO4182 ah was meant for the other guy actually. Whoops!
@@matt94alexander32 in a way yes, but England had terrible luck in past.
Also I don't buy this England entitlement of winning against those other teams just because of superstars.
They still have to play well and get on together with no tribalism (something they had in past).
Also tournaments have a lot of randomness to them and don't care about history or rankings. It's all about a POINT IN TIME.
Would I have wanted England to be in a group with Saudi and Moroco last world cup? Before maybe yes, but in hindsight no thanks! Proves all games are difficult and nobody has a devine right.
Those lesser teams are just as dangerous as they come as with huge will to win and are often underestimated, making them basically just as difficult. It's not just England who have struggled at tournaments with those teams, others too.
It's all about on the day and although superstars can give an edge it still ain't bloody easy at all
Couldn't agree more, we need a switch up. We've been very lucky, but have to give credit where due seems like the squad are playing more like a team now and confidence and morale is up. Hoping we put up a fight in the final but regardless of the outcome I still think Southgate should go.
Gonna be some withdrawal felt when these podcasts aren't coming out every day 😢. The podcasts are as enjoyable as the euros itself. Keep up the great work guys❤
Yes, England got very lucky, I cried my eyed out after the game, and i am still heartbroken, and probably will be for a very long time, the game could've gone either way, but I think Ollie Watkins' goal hit even harder because i thought we were dominant in the second half. The game could've gone either way, though, and I could talk about the refereeing decisions, but in the end, we didn't take our chances. I wish you good luck in the final!
Cole Palmer,
Cole Palmer speelt de bal, heel goed naar Ollie Watkins… Ollie Watkins, Ollie Watkins neemt de bal, Ollie Watkins!
OLLIE WATKINS!
OLLIE WATKINS!
OLLIE WATKINS!
OLLIE WATKINS!
Ooooaaaaagghhhhhooooooo!!!!!
You mean dominant in the first half
Studs up reckless/dangerous is technically a pen however harsh that may be.
Couldn’t agree more, that’s a foul everywhere else on the pitch so it’s a penalty
@@stevestibbons1789 I've no doubt any defender would have done the same in an attempt to block the shot (bearing in mind the ball was high too) but that's the letter of the law. If you 'interpret' it, it needs to be rewritten.
You dont understand law 12, it is a reckless lunge turning his back to the ball, a penalty all day long. You have all got the guilty loser attitude to life, only winners think it is a penalty, you need to all get on board.
Instead of worrying about their wingers, we should play our two wingers. Play Saka and Gordon as wingbacks. Let them worry about us for a change.
It’s so impressive that Watkins was only brought on with less than 10 minutes to play. So efficient, but feel he should get more time in the final. Minimum 20 mins
