''we have better players than all the nations"...this right here is part of the problem.
spot on.'we have world class players'..'we have players who can walk into any squad'..'There is no one from the other side who could get into ours'...Right..if De Jung had played against England he would have struggled to get into that midfield...?
I really dont agree with this. Our players lack football intelligence and tactical awareness. Which continental teams favour over what we do in England.
@@zinedinezidane4771 I think you're right. It's just not their thing. We just don't associate English football with tactical awareness and futbol intelligence.
But see that Mainoo boy🔥😭if you saw him for the first time at club football, you wouldn't say he's English. Palmer too🔥
@@tokolloseleka8785 which is crazy. Who wouldn't want intelligence in a footballer or any role in life 😂
Agree, Palmer and Mainoo look quality and have good intelligence hopefully they continue to develop this way and are appreciated in the national team, because Scholes and Carrick wasn't.. crazy again lool
Exactly right
Pennant bang on - some nations are built to win trophies, some aren't. England are the same as Belgium and it aint coming home anytime soon
How many world cups have belguim won you idiot
Well said well bloody said for real
The stat about Spanish teams winning the last 27 major trophies a Spanish team was involved in is crazy.
Thw difference with Belgium is that its only really been the last 8 years they had a quality team which tbh has been on the decline for 4 or 5 years with players aging. England have always been seen as a brilliant team with world class players
@tbrauneh yeah im saying that, i think english players have been overrated for as long as i have watchrd football. Im just saying the difference is Belgium never have golden generations whereas every generation of england bes built up to a golden generation but never come close to the real best teams
Your not Scotland but you've won the same amount of European Championships as Scotland
Who can forget Archie Gemmill 's goal and Jim Baxter winning the World Cup in 1967.
True immortals.
@@iainrae6159😂😂👌
What did Scotland do other than be the first team to be sent home?
Love this 🏴.
Edward312: we beat Spain a few months ago. How did England do against Spain? Oh . . .
I cannot understand for the life of me why the English media believe their own hype that England have the best players. All the best players in the Premier are foreign, the best coaches are foreign. On the other hand Spain supply top players and coaches to all other countries, including the Premier League, they are footballing giants compared to England.
Accept the highest performing players last season, Foden, Palmer, Saka, Watkins are all English and 7 out of the 10 of the highest goal scorers of all the time are English, so all the best players in the Premier League are not foreign. It's clearing a coaching issue at intentional level, especially under Southgate who is a P.E teacher. English players play better for their clubs because they are in a more settled system and know their roles. Even in the Premier League it can take a team a month to settle and find form, but at international tournaments they only have a few games.
@@Unpopular_Truth You put Southgate in at man city and they won't even get top 6
@@Unpopular_Truth stop waffling last time i checked the best players of all time aren't english
@@SugarRayValentine We're talking about the best players in the Premier League you clown.
@@Unpopular_Truth So why Spanish players manage that transition and English ones do not?
England hasn’t got better players. They have better PR to hype these average players. 🙄
Jose Mourihno wins this final with this English squad . Lets not even debate it.
@@ericburckson727Mourinho would have better odds with Spain though.
Average players DONT get into any team in the world mate. Jude Bellingham gets into any team in the world (he’s already at Real Madrid), an in form Harry Kane gets into any team in the world, so does Saka and so does Foden (when playing his his correct position). So, this also means that those players are world class, fact. Apology accepted👍
Williams better than Foden (as a left winger). Saka is perhaps slightly better than Yamal. Current injured Kane is not better than Morata as weird as that sounds. Rodri and Ruiz are both better than Rice and Mainoo. Carvajal is better than Walker. Laporte equal to Stones.
Those replying "England are better, Mourinho would've won etc." No the Spanish players are technically better and they proved it by easily dominating the ball and creating more chances. Those individual players like Bellingham, Foden and Kane had good "goalscoring" seasons. That's not the same as being individually better for your positions than other players
It’s somewhere in between, they aren’t average players.
The arrogance "O Hara we're better then Brazil they're terrible "
Remind me england lost at Wembley to Brazil in April 😆 🤣 😂
Saka? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Walker was in line when the ball was played through the min...until he wasn't...get a grip Jamie
Jermaine is talking a bit of sense. Other clown is just a sad indictment of an over hyped media.
The cold facts are the most tedious games I've watched in this , overall great Euro's , have all been England games. The group stage's was boring as f , the quarter's down to pens , the semi where England were given a scandalous penalty and dubious decision's against the Dutch. Then the final ! The rest is history at this point.......Viva Espana !!!! was the right result all round.
Yeah cheers for that roger
Someone picking the most 'tedious' games isn't a fact, it's a matter of opinion.
I my opinion England weren't great.
Mate if you think we have better players than Germany France & Spain you might as well wrap it up football wise...
As a neutral spain euro team wasn't better than the english. They had a way of playing and they stuck with it. The endligh team has no identity and that's the problem.
Jamie saying Brazil are terrible now and England better than Brazil!?? Your deluded, Brazil outclassed England at Wembley and won only couple of months ago with their make shift team..
"England have got the players"..only in your english mind mate
7:20 Another great point from Jermaine ; the pressing style is what our players do week in and week out ; why England didn't is baffling.
They did not do it because they don’t fear the manager, you imagine these players press for 5 min and then stop under Klopp or Pep or even Arteta ? The fear is getting taken off and the players in the England team did not worry about that
England do not have the best players, the delusion is incredible.
Scottish, Irish or Welsh?
Then why are they the most expensive team then?
@@JasonSimon-m2nare you ten years old?
@@JasonSimon-m2n because they all overrated and overpriced, especially in England. For example Declan Rice cost 100M. He just about looked like a 20M player during the whole tournament. Hope that helps.
@@JasonSimon-m2n expensive doesnt equate to the best players. Rashford is one of the highest earners in England and is not the best player lol
Kane didn't play like Kane as we expected and Southgate was too afraid to drop him or limit his playing time. That's 10 v 11 straightaway...
O Hara sounding completely deluded. 'We have as good players as France/Spain/Germany' - so how many Euros have we won? ZERO Jamie, ZERO. We can't even do a Greece despite playing like them.
He actually said that you have better players
This is such a stupid comment. Literally ONLY Spain won more euros trophy’s than our current group of players, I don’t think Ohara is saying England have always had the best squad, he’s saying right now the squad England have is player for player better than any other squad, no other nation has a front 6 of individual best players at their clubs, this means nothing in the grand scheme of things because we don’t have a tactically astute manager to put these players into a structure and style of play that allows them to be better than the other nations as teams
Fun fact: Before the final, England had scored 7 conceded 4 in 6 games - just like 2004 Greece
@@jordanbrooks4834 There isn't any good English manager. There never was and there NEVER will be !!
Before all these better technical foreign managers/coaches came to the Premiership, who were the managers winning all the trophies ? Ferguson, Dalglish, Graham. They're all Scottish FFS !!
😅😂❤❤
😂😂
Is Englands goalkeeper better than Spain’s? Is Luke Shaw better than cucurella? Is Rice better than Rodri? Is Saka better than Niko Williams? Walker than Carvajal?
Unai Simón is awful
On Walker please note he was named in the Uefa team of the tournament, has won everything there is to win at club level and has been called by Vini Jr and Neymar as the best player they have faced in that position. Difficult to argue objectively against that?
Spain manager said in interview he knew England would b slow to settle and his teams tactics were to quickly unsettle them at every point n that included the start of the 2nd half
The fact that Jamie thinks that England has the best players and best facilities is laughable really .Get a reality test man 😊
O'hara thinks England are better than Brazil and Pennant thinks Foden plays for Arsenal. What a pair of clowns
England aren’t amazing but tbf Brazil stink right now. They’re actually kinda similar imo
The excuses for Kane on this video are hilarious - if he cant cut it he has to be replaced - that goes for any player
Not when our other options are far less talented and experienced
Something I heard on TalkSport earlier that resonated with me. An ex-pat living in Lanzarote stated that they had about 14 reasonable sized stadiums for youth football alone on that island - that is why Spain is successful. The money in the Premier League doesn't equate to success nationally. We seen last night how easily Rodri was replaced by another like for like substitution aligned to Spain's way of playing.
Spot on clapping 👏
Not just Rodri, no Pedri or Gavi either in the final yet you couldn’t tell it was a completely new midfield in the second half. Imagine if England lost their three starters in midfield for the final.
While England bring on Palmer who fair enough played good but take off Mainoo who was the only player breaking up Spains play, not a like for like,then what happened massive gaps appeared between the defence and midfield which Spain exploited for the rest of the game
The issue is the FA is too focused on choosing a likeable person rather than being very clear about what kind of 'brand' of football they want and then shortlisting coaches who are experts in that kind of football.
Southgates to blame for not having players on the pitch that would've ran Spain to the ground.
Watkins, Gordon, Palmer would've made a huge difference if they started ahead of Foden, Kane, Shaw.
dream on!
Exactly what I have been saying
English fans to blame for not supporting the leader of their team.
@andymcnab2.0
Fair comment - even if people don’t agree on a technical ability and tactical basis, your point would be true because the players you mention would have been so much fresher and would have played to a high intensity in the final
England lacked intensity!
Ivan Toney
Something i dont understand in football is if you have world class players that are injured or fatigued why play them? Surely its better to start someone else rather than playing a tired bellingham or a kane who are probably playing on par with a championship level player or even less
England absolutely do not have the best players 😅 kane looks good playing with sane and musiala, bellingham looks good playing with vinny jr and rodrygo, foden looks good playing with haaland and de bruyne these english players are massively overhyped
Or maybe they just play better in a well coached settled system. They wouldn't perform week in week out and get so many goals and assists for their clubs if they were average players.
"We've got the facilities" 😂 oh Jamie😢
@@StringerBellz bro😭😹😹
@@tokolloseleka8785 😂 surely we deserve the title just for that
No senior England caps...how does this make O hara an expert?? His international career is as disastrous as his marriage to Danielle Lloyd 😂
“We have better players then all those teams” eh no you don’t, that’s why Spain passed you off the pitch cause they have better players, see how that works?
The funny thing about Spain this tournament they were not really interested in having the most possession, but had to have it cos England could not hold the ball under pressure !
Jamie saying England have the best football teams. There is over 60 percent of the players are foreign.
Embarrassing yourself Jamie
Jamie did nothing in football career
That's why Jamie is there for. 👌
Thank you England. All arguing and pissed off everyday. Awesome
Thanks, Southgate. Thanks Harry . Thanks jude
We're just sh*t at football, end of discussion, live with it
Sitting back after equalising was criminal. Bottlers.
KANE is a disgrace declaring himself fit Stevie Wonder could see Kane wasn’t then he comes out and says it’s all about the team
Southgate in the 2nd half pushed SAKA further forward,the winning goal was down to Walker for taking a throw that was on the edge of Spain’s box and it ended back with Pickford,and preceded to give the ball away that led directly to the winning goal
From day one, I always said he was a f numpty. I've been proven f right.
@@chrismiller6317 Hang on mate.. that's wrong..
Best football teams in the world domestically full of other countries and leauges talent not because of the English players. This is the problem with any English media they don't accept that other country's have equal or better talent due to their own bias but if you really deep it and the most successful teams last season and past seasons non of the teams have had an England star being the one who carries the team bar maybe Madrid this season but it wasn't just belilingham it was a whole team delivering
Cole carried Chelsea way more than Bellingham did! Y’all just love bring Bellinghams name up in every conversation… he’s not spectacular, he has great physique, a pompous attitude and scored goals. He’s a PRs dream.
@dagogogreene9155 OK, 1 player you have named who didn't even start. That was my point that no one is undroppable. And I used jude as an example because of the team he plays for real Madrid who are stacked with world beaters and even with out jude they still function they have other players who have been clutch this season such as vini and carvajal and most of them are not English but won't get credit they deserve due to the English media bias an example is carvajal vs walker one of the most decorated rb in the game won't get the praise in comparison to a speed merchants
@@asaifali99 Your point about Walker is very tenuous. He was named in the Uefa team of the tournament, like Caravajal has had a very successful club career and is someone who has been named by the likes of Vini Jr and Neymar as the best player they have faced in that position. None of this can be put down to english media bias now can it?

The quality of football today is poor, a handful of decent strikers and defenders. Go back 10/15 years and all top teams had 2/3 top strikers and forwards each.
Couldn’t agree more, thinking of Van Basten, Bergkamp, Rumenigge, Platini, and fifty other guys of this ilk who produced something special. Now it’s all about systems etc. It’s a different game.
“England have got better players than all them nations” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You have the best league not players
Lewandoski didnt start for Poland! Why not drop Kane if he plays bad?!!
He was injured until the last Poland match. Then they played him as soon as he was fit.
Because he’s “England’s priceless Gem!”
Jamie "Brazil are terrible now" .........Didn't Brazil just beat England leading up to the Euro's??? Seem to remember Eigland tried to press Brazil and how easily a "terrible" Brazil team dealt with it. Some brilliant tactics by the management right there!
When it really mattered Bellingham did nothing , quarters semis and final.
Watch another sport

@@footballsoccerx2021 What did he do then numbnuts?
Wud u have gotten there If he doesn't score the overhead kick ?
All the comments trying to be tacticos…England do have the best players, only 1 or 2 countries have ARGUABLY better players. It’s completely down to the coaching. If you disagree please tell me the many countries with better players
Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, Cape Flats kids from Cape Town.
50 percent on Southgate and 50 percent on the players
Well said well bloody said for real
Southgate picking the same 11-12 players every single game despite them struggling to create a single chance for 70 minutes, then seeing players like Palmer come on, change the game and create match winning goals and then drop to the bench the next game! Ridiculous!! Why not give these super subs a chance to start a game? Then maybe we won’t have to go 1-0 down and panic trying to find an equaliser with the clock ticking down.
I agree mate. Good riddance. Did not have a scooby. Which midfielder did he play which could make that pass to split a defense (starter)? Playing both Bellingham and Foden was ridiculous, not to mention the decision to keep playing Kane unfit. Blows my f mind GS's decision - making. Seriously could understand a chimp at the zoo better than GS's mind.
We can’t keep saying we’re better than this and we’re better than that. Performances don’t match.
Rice is awful
With curry .
Eat something else . Large variety of food available now mate
Spot on comment there lad 😅@@johnkeohane4239
For sure not - stupid comment
Try peshwari naan
Clearly when you don’t win anything, you can’t have the best team! We just aren’t as good as we thought
The idea that someone must be to blame for the defeat betrays a shocking sense of entititlement.
England going into a competition expecting to win it when they have not won a single trophy since God knows when is mad 😅
Jamie thinking England have better players is the core of the problem. YOU DO NOT.
Blame trent !! The best passer in a team who hates to have the ball.
Trent is an overrated passer. English have not one good passer, i honestly think Saka is Englands best passer and that says it all.
@void0350
Trent has highest all time assists for a defender in PL history - you can’t achieve that without being a great passer. Stop spouting nonsense
The fact you are even talking about “moments” that dug us out! This is England! Dug out against Slovenia etc tells you all you need to know about Southgates tactics! Man for man except Rodri we are far better than even Spain, so how do we lose to anyone?
Kane should be embarrassed receiving the golden boot award
Ok, then so should the other three he’s sharing it with then. I don’t understand your point🤷🏼♂️
England don't have better players
You could side with Southgate but think his answer to win was bring on Gallagher.
Honestly you must sit on the sideline and look into space think what would great manager do. Klopp, Clough or anyone. Day of Destiny Gareth.
"I summon you Gallagher"
Ah man.
There is Trent and Gordon - rightwing to left
@@Realist560😂😂
Ah man. Southgate needs sacking for ages. As if any sane Premierleague fan want him at their club. You know that is an obvious thing.
The ones we have are coached by foreign managers and play in teams full of foreigners. Thats why the PL is as successful as it is.
Talksport are to blame for constantly bullying up a bang average collection of English players.
Our director of football needs get English players at youth level to learn how to press and keep ball under high pressure
No mate, pressing is one of the most basic attributes of any footballer, pressing just means pushing up on our opponents and is NOT a skill that needs to be learnt. Either Southgate’s tactics dictated how we played OR the players were just too cagey. To say this needs to be “learnt” at youth level is ridiculous, it’s basic. Even an average Sunday League pub footballer knows how to press (push up). If your post was serious and you really think this needs to be taught then we are either in more trouble than we thought OR you know zero about the game of football🤣🤣
I think they need to develop natural intelligence 😂
Learning to press?? Geez just work on your bloody fitness lol
Fun fact. All the best players in this country are always foreigners. We over hype our players and downplay other countries players.
6:50 Pennant makes a good point ; it was only when foreign coaches and players came to the UK that the PL took off , it wasn't English players that made that happen. The coaches angle in particular ; no English coach has won the PL , that says plenty. Eriksson and Capello had a go but Eriksson was not elite and Capello wasn't suited to the English culture.
I say give a foreigner another go , at least we'd see a team thats easier on the eye.
Sven was a cheque book manager for Lazio who never won the Italian League, at that time it was a stupid appointment
England don’t have better players than said countries.
Bellingham isn’t a wide left forward. Can’t blame him for performing poorly in a system that doesn’t suit him. He’s a number 8. Pre tournament he should’ve started alongside rice where he can pick up the ball deep and drive into defences. Now Mainoo has showed his capabilities maybe there isn’t a place for Jude in the starting 11.
Having leaders is not good enough.What did Gerrad Win with England?.The Truth is this England doesn't have the Players,Team ,Management, Mentality and Playing Style to Win a Major Trophy
Cole Palmer,Stones,Walker and Pickford showed their fans that they were doing everything to win this final.
Jude was battling like a warrior and shouldn’t of been playing in Trent-Alexander’s role.
Toney and Watkins should’ve started upfront together to hurt that Spanish defence.
Southgate is definitely to blame for England not beating Spain.
The way he thinks England got the best players is hilarious
It is delusional to thinking that England has got the best of players
I disagree and I will point you to the below list of objective facts rather than just simply providing my opinion.
Kane-Top goal scorer in Bundesliga
Foden - Voted Prem best player
Bellingham - voted la liga best player
In terms of goals scored in the most recent season across all comps, the following players all scored 20 goals or more:
Kane, Foden, Bellingham, Palmer, Watkins, Bowen, Saka
Now please show me another national team that can boast that? How many did Yamal and Williams score last season? You can not deny that the above mentioned players all had exceptional club seasons coming into this tournament, otherwise you are just ignoring facts.
Before you mention the EPL is overhyped, please note it is the no.1 ranked league in Europe by Uefa, it is not a farmer league. Plus you had the likes of Kane and Bellingham doing very well in overseas leagues.
Clearly the English squad, certainly from attacking perspective has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to form players yet they didn't score more than 2 goals in any game. I think its Gareth and the coaching staff who have to take responsibility here for not extracting the best out of the squads strengths here.
@@matthewtovey9771Good points…They don’t unfortunately play as a team…And We are weak mentally…Historically…It can change….Garath did ok….,The culture has improved…Next manager needs to build a team…not just play star players..👍
The main issue in the tournament was relatively simple. Kane, Foden, Bellingham and Saka were not an attacking four that were ever going to do it. They just don't work together. They all want to play in the same space. Kane, even when fit, needs wide runners, and those attackers all need a forward like Watkins who stretches the play so they can break into space. It was never, ever going to flow and most people spotted it very early. Southgate persisted, and it was our downfall.
I dont think Pennant and Ohara realise theyre trying to make the same point
What a dumb argument. 'we aren't that nation who wins tournaments'
You'd have been making that argument if you were Spanish back in 2008 as they'd never won anything.
They've since won 4.
Bellingham wasn't great the whole tournament not just the final
The person to blame is Sam Allardyce, if he behaved he would be the manager of this lot not Gareth Southgate. He would have made strong decisions.
Jesus wept🤣. Allerdyce would have been even worse. The comments here are hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Please phone Talksport with this point
“England are better than Brazil” from the ever insightful delusional Jamie yet again. Jermaine spot on, great analysis.
Jamie is full on delusional, which England is better than Brazil let alone, Spain, France or Germany
JP is 100% right, we dont win and have never won the Euro's, I'm English and knew we wouldn't win the final, put money on Spain, easiest money I've ever won!
England were never gonna beat Spain. Can't beat any of the big teams!
England’s better than Brazil, didn’t they play the other day🤯🤯🤯🤯
Apparently Jermaine Pennant is the only guy in England connected to reality
Spain picked players to suit a style of play and do a certain job... England picked players on reputation...
Only one person to blame and that is Southgate not kane not the players Southgate with his sit back tactics what do you people expect kane to do when the whole team is sitting back miracles and spain used every player they had during the tournament expect the keeper Southgate used the same players and moans the players are tired
It’s the mentality we score and sit back instead of trying to win a game
We don't have the midfielders like most of the top nations! Almost all of the best midfielders in the Premier League are foreign. We need to start to appreciate deep-lying midfielders and cultivate that position, instead of being obsessed with pushing every technical player into the forward line. Hopefully the next generation of English midfielders, like Wharton, Tyler Morton etc will be appreciated.
Palmer always played well
Is he playing well today?
I blame Spain for the defeat.
At least we won in 1966 ,although the ball was not over the goal line
for the third goal.
@iainrae6159
Just as well a 4th goal was smashed in then isn’t it?!
German league has a long break mid season so no excuse lor legs being gone
Jermaine for England manager, O, Hara assistant manager, Cundy water boy 🫏🫏🫏
This argument that England is not a country that historically wins World cups and European cups is so stupid. England last won a WC in the 60s and Spain won the euros once in the 60s as well and before 2008 didn't win anything. In the last 17 years, Spain won three Euros and a World cup. The moral of the story is you can become the country that wins in such a small time as long as you have the right players and attitude. "We don't do that" is such a negative mindset.
England doesn’t have football heritage, cope.
What was Spain better at? Playing out from the back. Playing with possession. Playing attacking football to outscore the opponent. That's what England need to practice going forward.
First time agreeing with Jermaine
Where was the ''Clash'' clickbait!!
Not just Rodri, no Pedri or Gavi either in the final yet it made no difference to the team. Imagine if England had lost its best three midfielders in the final. It would have been an even bigger disaster.
The problems we had throughout the tournament was because we were playing with 10 men in every game. Harry Kane did absolutely nothing. Ambled around from Spanish player to Spanish player with no intention of ever threatening them. Why do we hang on to these icons when they are past their best and we are afraid to drop them ie kane, although probably unfit, Ronaldo, Anderson at cricket ………
What are you waffling about.... Both goals were Walkers fault. He was caught in the middle of the pitch both times covering players that were already covered. Clueless!!
Spain midfield far better players than England
Jesus🤣🤣
Your absolutely right Spain's midfield was better than England's midfield England were lucky they didn't lose the final by a bigger margin every time in the second half when Spain attacked England they look like we're gonna score I thought England were lucky to get to the final I think Gareth Southgate took England has far he can take them he needs to go now England have the potential to win tournaments they got some good youngsters and some experience players but Gareth southgate can not take them over the line England need a new manager that can be more attacking England players don't seem to get as a team
I've stopped listening and watching talkSPORT because Ohara is an unprofessional fool should be no where near a Mic I was a listener for over 20 years. So many people have switched off because of Ohara I wonder if you can notice that in your listening figures
The Competitors are decent its just that Southgate was holding them back its good thing they relieved him off his duties as a manager.
Bellingham scored two goals but he should of been alongside rice 100%
When he played alongside Rice yesterday, the midfield dropped too deep and allowed the space for their 2nd goal. 6 minutes after Kobbie came off. Jude should've played 10 behind Warkins with a quick winger on the left
As for right now, England should win tournaments. We have quality players and the strongest squad with at least 26 good, excellent/world-class players. We need the manager to unlock it all.
Jamie is right
You are not Scotland
We beat Spain 2-0
It’s hard for me to say this but it’s true. Arsenal haven’t won a champions league yet, we always struggle in the champions league and there’s reasons for this.
I think it’s a similar problem with England, they just don’t have the pedigree or experience on winning something major like the other nations.
The next England manager appointment is crucial to get us over the line in winning something major.
Roberto Martinez stuck with Ronaldo and that led to Portugal's exit. Incompetent football managers will always shy away from benching "superstars" because they don't have the tactics to back that decision. Gareth Southgate is the same. Incompetent manager with out dated tactics.
The media is equally to blame. England are the only footballing nation where a generation is deemed "golden" without winning any silverware for the nation. Spain had a golden generation as they won in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
England need a foreign manager. It’s that simple.
The players are coached by foreign managers at club level, they respond better to that.
