Euro24 final. England v Spain

[Runub]

One of the most irritating things about this is the media. Various people on TV, not even sports related TV, wittering on about England like they are some kind of expert when they have probably never watched a footy game in their lives

Spain wins unless England get another bogus penalty or something dumb.

Shut down Rodri and their wingers and we win this game. Vital that Luke Shaw plays.

Like England have got that terry.

Shaw Has to start, under no circumstances can trippier play, he's been abysmal in every game.

I'd play Watkins over kane as well, his movement this tournament has been a disgrace.

Stick to the back 5 as well, best we played in ages that first half vs the Dutch with back 5.

4-5-1 with trippier and kane will happen tho

You best ring Gareth and let him know mate, I’m sure he’s scratching his head what to do and you’ve just got the answer right there well done you pal

On the one hand if England win there'll be flags, shirts and badly sung songs everywhere for days on end.

But it will also wind up the bitter goblins that can't stand to see England doing well.

I'm really torn on this one.

I live in Spain so see the same from Spanish fans and media.

Hope England tear them a new one.

Spain will presume the starting XI will be the same, he should throw a curve ball and start either Watkins or Toney.

 

[barneygumble]

Ticket bought. Roll on Sunday.

Go for Ruiz, Yamal & Rodri early. We've grown well into the tournament and it's not huge to state that this will be the big test.

Spain been the best team in the tournament by a long distance, but keep it tight and don't play into Cucurella tactics and we've got a great chance.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Fair point. Trippier has been pretty poor. We're there in the final. Good job

I have always thought Trippier to be a liability, both for Newcastle and England. He proved that when we played them at Goodison. But when he went off at half time and Shaw came on, I think England were the poorer for it.

 

[Paris]

Just about to head out. We’re gonna do these Spanish slags!

That didn’t have anything to do with that substitution. We would’ve played exactly the same way in the second half regardless of who was at left back, it was a conscious tactical decision to make the game tighter and more cagey. Shaw offered no less than what Trippier offered, Trippier was absolutely terrible.
