A brilliant team does not necessarily necessitate brilliant players. You just need players that are good enough, but can fit together into a cohesive unit that works in a highly effective manner together.
yet all the brilliant teams have brilliant players. not a single succesful international team has achieved anything without super stars except for that one greek team for 6 games. every single one of the past 22 world cup winning teams have had super stars.
I think the problem with England is the media and the expectation. I don’t think any other team in the world gets as much pressure from the fans and media as the England players. Like Sven said. In Italy he was judged only by his football. In England your life gets torn apart both private and professional. Like what the f*ck has affairs got to do with football? Too much political bullsh*t for a team that hasn’t won a trophy since 1966.
I will always say that Euro 2004 was the one that got away for that generation. So many what ifs in the Portugal QF - what if Rooney had not gone off injured, what if Campbell's late goal had counted, what if Beckham had scored his penalty.
It was looking good in Euro 2004 for England but we still couldn’t beat the big teams we lost 2-1 against France in the group stage. A game we should have won!!
Tuchel could actually be the man to win a trophy for England. See, winning trophies, which are played for in around 5 games, does not require you to have a golden generation. It just needs a cohesive team packed with players with strong mindsets. and, of course, who are willing to go to the mad with opponents when need be. and who is better to inculcate that, other than Tuchel? I believe that is how Argentina won the 2022 worlcup. And actually, that is how italy won euros vs. a far better england team than they were back in 2020.
Yeah. Argentina doesn't have that many superstar player. They also lost many important matches on penalties. But the team right now are hungry for a win, have high fighting spirit, a cohesive team, and a good goalkeeper on penalties. England need to work on that mindset for the future.
but that's the thing, WERE they far batter? Italy had the best goalkeeper, Italy had the two best defenders, Italy had the best midfielder in Verratti and Barella. The only thing England had was Harry Kane.
Portugal were the better team after Rooney Went off injured on 24 minutes. Rooney was the stand out player the focus player in attack who made things happen scored goals had great pace and skill and vision. We couldn’t build on the Momentum after Rooney went off injured we missed him badly. Sol Campbell disallowed goal though that shouldn’t of been disallowed!
We. Always. Bottle it. The fans. The players. We were 1-0 up against Italy, at Wembley, in the final, 2020 euros, and you could hear a pin drop. We should have been rocking that stadium!!!! Just enjoy the occasion and support your team. Fuck the expectations
Joe Cole had the best take. Patterns of play. It's mostly been individual brilliance with rare sightings of team fluidity that leads to chances. They don't need a star at every position, they need the right fit at every position.
Ya know as a german, if england actually won anything it would be a two sided blade. On one hand englnd win something, which we well don't really want. On the other hand if Tuchel won them something it would mean it took a german to do something an english man couldn't. I really don't know, if i would rather them not win anything and be in anyway extremely obnoxious or if i want them to win so i can ruin it for them by reminding them of the fact that a german was responsible.
We really struggled after Rooney went off injured against Portugal we lacked that Spark in attack a player which made things happen that pace and vision creativity movement link up play. He was the main focus with England in attack.
As a german, i am always fascinated by Englands wish to get into a tournament, thinking that its their god given right to win the big one, because all their players play in the best league, meaning they are all automatically world class players. Germany for example never won trophies because their team was full of world class players (with a few exceptions) but because of their team mentality. The team of 1996 was a good example. We had constant injury issues, but we still managed to win it, because of our unity and will to fight. There are no egos in the team.
Its funny actually not the biggest english fan but they always had the best shooters of the game right from the time of bobby charlton to steven gerrard and not to forget the best penalty expert matt le tissier ...still they often lose on penalties😂😂😂😂😂😂
Iconic for what? Being losers in every tournament? At least Belgium got to a World Cup semi-final, and that Belgium team would've wiped them floor with any England ''golden generation''.
The problem is the people In the background, some players pass their peek (Harry kane) and still start every game, Palmer form was next level all season and he's on the bench, England need to be more fair to their players regardless of their colour belief or political view. It does not surprise me that they choose week managers that are easy to control.
Sol Campbell goal shouldn’t have been Dissalowed against Portugal in 2004. But Portugal were the better side after Rooney went off Injured Portugal started dominating possession and England were getting forced back deeper and deeper.
1996 was more so the Dutch falling under pressure than England outclassing them. Unlike most EPL fans who overhype and overrate their English players, I sometimes do the opposite. I'd never take majority of the English players over their Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Brazilian, Portuguese, Argentinian, etc, counterparts. For a country who tries to breathe football as their major sport, only a handful are exceptional and 1 or maybe 2 are worthy for GOAT conversations (Charlton, Moore, 🤷♂️). Gascoigne and Owen were big what-ifs, but that defers from reality of things. Harry Kane is a modern top player but a certain washed rooster club kept holding him back for many years with spider webs filling their cabinets. Belligham is special and that's why he's playing in a top club outside England, but he'll have a long way to go competing against many prodigies in his position. Even amongst managers, Bobby Robson was their last elite figure.
The team could have been managed much better by Sven and we played a rigid 442. In 2006 against Portugal we played a 451 which was also the wrong system formation.
We definitely would have beaten Portugal in Euro 2004 if Rooney didn’t go off injured. And we propably would have beaten Portugal in 2006 as well if Rooney wasn’t sent off and we had no Michael Owen and Beakham went off injured.
So many other better international teams then the golden generations since 1998. Unfortunately you had a manager who never beat a single team in the top 10 during the last 6 years, Southgate was rewarded for mediocrity due to those easy draws he got. Tuchel would have won at least 1 trophy if he was in charge during Southgate's reign, most likely the 20920 Euro Final. Media is the biggest problem always overhyping everything, I do feel sorry for the players at times, as soon as they beat some random team we get the usual it's coming home by all the tabloids.
No Pattern of Play. Even the poor teams you can see what they are trying to do with England you couldn’t see what they were trying to do. The effort was there but not the chemistry the understanding between players.
We had the best Players in 2004 & 2006 but collectively as a team they weren’t very good. It didn’t click it didn’t come together at all disjointed. Strong squad bad team.
6:36 Wrong managers for starters ericcson cappello were defensive and conservative .Keegan tactically was poor .Rio Ferdinand summed up erriccson when he told the best ball playing centre half we had ...you go over the half way line with the ball il drop you ....ffs 😮
We should have won Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 if we had a better manager who was better tactically who knew what he was doing and picked the right system and got the team gelling together better and told Lampard and Rooney to stop shooting then maybe we would off.
English fans and sports media need to be moderate about the expected result. After all, stop shitting on the footballers every time they lose. Lower your expectations and everything will work out. The founders of a sport are not obliged to win every tournament in it. Canadians do not always win at hockey, Norwegians do not always win at skiing. You just need to take it easier. P.S. In my opinion, England is the number one favorite at the next World Cup in 2026 in North America.
Sven just expected the Players just to turn it on at the highest level World Cup Level without managing the team properly there was nothing on Tactics it was just go out there and play your best! No way of playing played individually. He was to reliant on the players ability he thought I have the best players I m going to win the World Cup we have a great chance. These players so poor together as a team didn’t bond didn’t tell looked disjointed didn’t work. Picked the best players but they weren’t good together as a team collectively couldn’t play good passing football kept loosing the ball couldn’t keep the ball for Long enough couldn’t create anything loosing the ball in the final 3rd. Just because you have the best squad doesn’t mean you have a good team that can play well together who can gell play good passing and moving football. Played bad football and couldn’t keep the ball long enough or create anything!
A brilliant team does not necessarily necessitate brilliant players. You just need players that are good enough, but can fit together into a cohesive unit that works in a highly effective manner together.

I couldnt agree more.
The problem with England, is that they've always over hyped their players, only for them not to perform to thee high expectations they set for them.
Thats Not the Problem in the slightest. Just a myth
@hessen5498 yes it is, the premier league is not the best league in the world, just a high spending league
@@lorenzoFCIM1908 Its by far the most competitive and talented League in the world

Agreed. Although in euro 96 they were Gazza’s stud away from being immortal.
Did Campbell score a late goal in this one? He scored a golden goal against Argentina in 98 but it was disallowed
@@Li8mBenz the same happened here, though it was in normal time. Ref ruled he obstructed Ricardo when he jumped.
@@philipjohn1254 he had some bad luck then

Only because England had a brilliant team on Paper in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, it doesn’t mean it’s all going to come together.
You could of told us this 20 years ago

Overlooking carrick was the biggest mistake, system over stars
So true
Before Carrick, it was Scholes, and before Scholes, it was Le Tissier.
Yes it was I agree.
So overrated.
@Al-ji4gd Carrick wasn't overrated.
We lost against Portugal in Euro 2004 another strong team top quality players and they had a strong defence. We cant deal with it.
We really struggled after Rooney went off injured against Portugal we lacked that Spark in attack a player which made things happen that pace and vision creativity movement link up play. He was the main focus with England in attack.
Euro 2020 was really the one that got away. Playing at home and losing it on penalties was mighty close.
England's every player is over hyped
Starting from Beckham
They should have signed for Hollywood or compete in some fashion contest
Beckham looked like a Bellend but his range of passing was second to non
@@jondickinson2864 And that's about it. IN every other category he was decent at best.
Very well explained!!

Great Video Thanks.
Alan Hansen used to say England have goals all over the park but couldn’t bloody score any.
Not golden but iconic still better than toxic Belgium golden generation
Iconic? Belgium's victories at the last few WCs were far more relevant and iconic than any England run since 1966
Iconic for what? Being losers in every tournament? At least Belgium got to a World Cup semi-final, and that Belgium team would've wiped them floor with any England ''golden generation''.
It’s shame Scholes Retired after Euro 2004 we needed him in 2006 and we missed him.

England were amazing against the Dutch in Euro 96 what a great performance!
Under Southgate they played as a team they looked like a proper football team they looked comfortable gelled created more. Good understanding
Fuck me mate leave some comment space for other people
mention the source of videos you're using
England still suffering from that goal that wasn't in 66. Definitely gotta right their wrongs from top to bottom to finally achieve success
Sol Campbell goal shouldn’t have been Dissalowed against Portugal in 2004. But Portugal were the better side after Rooney went off Injured Portugal started dominating possession and England were getting forced back deeper and deeper.

What a penalty from southgate. If you shoot like that you just don’t deserve it.
I forsee the "curse" lingering into the far future as long as the English media and fanbase wont let the players be.
We couldn’t play as a team.
I would say the manager more than the players.
No Pattern of Play. Even the poor teams you can see what they are trying to do with England you couldn’t see what they were trying to do. The effort was there but not the chemistry the understanding between players.
England’s Golden Generation in 2004, 2006, 2010, failed miserably.
Come on Tommy T, bring it home
Tactically we were poor. Zero Chemistry in the team as a group playing together.
Very Strong Squad but bad together as a team the style of play as bad. You just can’t turn it on at the highest level.
Jermaine Defoe should have gone to the World Cup in 2006. If no him then Darren Bent but I would have preferred Defoe.
We had the best Players in 2004 & 2006 but collectively as a team they weren’t very good. It didn’t click it didn’t come together at all disjointed. Strong squad bad team.

And the Modern England Golden Generation also failed but did better.
Sven was to blame and the players.
Next video should be on Italian downfall
Long may this continue.
England should win the World Cup in 2026 easily

Bloody Southgate
Very Strong Squad not not a good team in 2004, 2006, and 2010.
Portugal were the better team in 2004
I think Scotland will have a higher Chance than England wining a trophy😎
Beckham was the problem! Playing anywhere he wanted and taking penalties! He was the problem in midfield and Sven loved him
Tge problem is most players aren't English just born in England,same as me and I don't feel English at all
So true looking at the squad now seems they don't give a shit knowing they would be ridiculed regardless
Dumb racist comment.
England, invented Football, suck at it
