This competition is just for money since the main one is the Euro , they are letting players play more matches during the season 😢
It feels like a friendly because it is a friendly
And Fermin didn't even play 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ohh please England go home
My advice now for any one who wants to play Spain, do not i repeat do not play with a number 10. Play with 2 natural Center midfielders and a Dm , not a 10 like Jude who has been running the whole place, Anderson running the whole place
Nico Williams, ferran, has no business being in the first 11
Torres was 2 for 2 he continues his record of clear goal misses
How on earth is pedri not starting for this Spanish national team? That guy game in and England was no longer seeing the ball again, my God the one touching and flicks and composure is another level from him
The whole Spanish team played and work as a chain ontill the ball comes to ferran Torres then you will know the is a stranger in the team.
Is funny how we fans know the tactics of Spain More than the coach, Which is simply do not start ferran Torres.
This game was even a great game because of ferran Torres, this match should have been done before half time
Torres still missing targets as usual
England was extremely fortunate it wasn’t 3-0 by halftime.
How were we robbed of this final? Argentina were way better than England, especially 2nd half. Also, lamime absolutely cooks Lewis Hall over the course of 90 minutes
Most people simplify things. <br><br>🏴 has the chance to win it. <br><br>"What if" Is easy to say. <br><br>I can say the same. <br>If Kane were not too excited, he should have scored that penalty and 🏴 would have led 3-1<br><br>What is the real fact is... <br>Spain scored 2 goals because the English individual mistakes - from Guehi & O'Reilly. <br><br>It's a match that 🏴 could have one. <br><br>I believe they have that feeling. <br><br>They played way better, with intent and style rather than they played in the SF WC that day <br><br>And they still have it in the return leg in November. <br><br>But this is surely a great learning curve for the English players.
Who is this American dufus? He doesn’t know anything
Tuchel still england head coach🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The hate for England is real. They had Spain on the ropes, Aley is upset about the fact England dominated the world champion for a major part of the match and they looked in the eye of Spain and gave them a reality check.
🇪🇦 It was a good match from both teams, and entertaining too. Spain had some good chances, and England missed a penalty. A match between two of the best teams in the world; it was a shame that in the last World Cup, England self-destructed against Argentina. The final could have been a great football match, not a fight against thugs like the final against Argentina
Props to England! They looked better against Spain than France AND Argentina!
Ferran is back to his usual form: the consistently inconsistent player.
Early give away goal, but England controlled the middle of the game, before and after halftime. They didn't allow Spain to be comfortable in possession, were very organized in pressing and looked like they should win. Kane missed the penalty and they lost composure. Players got tired, subs came on and were not as organized (esp Rodgers), after that they couldn't get the ball from Spain and it was over. Best we've seen a team play Spain for a LONG time.
England played better i dont know what you watching😂😂😂😂😂
Argentina and Brazil almost never lose at home. I understand England brings a lot of money to the game, and a lot of broadcasters are based in the UK, so there’s naturally going to be some bias. But come on—they’re not an elite team. They’re a great team, absolutely, but elite? Not quite.
In the first half, it was 12 v 10 in favour of England, Ferran was an English player in a Spanish shirt
Spain didn’t play well upto their standard. There would've been a huge goal difference.
“They could easily have been four goals up before England scored.”<br>I can’t believe pundits still fall for the chance-stacking fallacy! 😂 They had four chances to score a SECOND goal – one of which was offside. That doesn’t mean they would have been 4–0 up. If one goes in, the game state changes and England respond differently.<br><br>The reality is this was a brilliant end-to-end game and England showed real promise, going toe-to-toe with them and playing with pace and power in attack. We lost largely because of unforced errors. 2 of their 3 goals were gifts from City players who were still in a state of shock and distraction from 114 guilty charges!
Spain was just being friendly in someone backyard...😅
Without Arsenalx "best midfielder and RW in the world" MLS and Saka, England would have definitely lost that game last night...
Spain as expected were much better and Ferran Torres missed a couple. England stayed in the game scoring 2 and with talisman captain Kane missing that penalty unfortunately
It’s like some people have never watched a game before 🥱 it’s small margins ! What if guehi didn’t have his lapse , what is Reilly didn’t set up Spains second , what if Kane scores the penalty ! England played a good game against the world champs ! Just pommy knocking as always on espn
Some love to Alex Baena but not enough. He changed the game with his goal and assist. The dynamic of the team changed. He needs to be the full starter and never Nico. He will be even better than in the World Cup. He already has 4 or 5 goals for club. Also, Ferran is not a starter. He made the game more competitive than needed. He had two goals and wasted them. Cucurella needs a rest. Terrible game. Grimaldo is playing better in La Liga so he should give Cucu time on the bench.
That guy who speaks Spanish always talks in favor of Spain and their players, even during the entire World Cup. He is a bad analyst.
If Spain had taken their chances they could have been 0-3 up early. Just as England could have been 3-0 up if they didn’t gift 2 goals and miss a penalty. Spain won, great game and fine margins so why the sensationalism.
Lamine is one of my favorite players and for that reason I'm also one of his toughest critics when he's not at his level. Today he was simply outstanding. You can see his game maturing he's not just trying to dribble everybody every time he gets the ball just because he's a good dribbler. He's more tactical now using his IQ more to put himself in the right areas to impact the match. Definitely a tight call between Lamine and Jude for MOTM for me. Jude fair play was outstanding today.
I disagree. I don’t think there is a lot between the two teams. Kane’s penalty goes in England win that game
Ferran did the Ferran thing 😂
If those mistakes made by Guehi and O'Reilly was done by Maguire and Shaw, the world would laugh now. Kane at it again, remember he missed penalty against France too.
First Yamal deserves the Ballon D'or<br>...Yes Rodri is great do people remember Spain's lack of attacking when Yamal didn't play at the beginning of the World Cup. Even when he didn't score he played a critical role in many of Spain's goals...Any shortcomings was because of he was hurt<br>...But soooo good...
Spain are the best team in the world right now ! That’s why they are world champions ! England gave them a better game than anyone else has managed🤷♂️
Oyarzabal is so underrated. His finish was incredible in the Spanish winner. One of the best strikers in world football.
Ferran “I want Barca to love me and feel appreciate” The Fish Torres
As far as England are concerned, Bellingham is like an artist in a room with a bunch of miners!
That build up for 3 rd goal omg 😮😮😮
More composed? They were rattled as soon as the equaliser went in and were not in it until the second error. Just capitalising on errors
Some of the Passes and Play Bellingham was dong Next Level Gordon tracking back and going forward is why Barca Paid what they did
In the last 10 encounters between them, England has lost 7. Says it all.
Fabian shouldnt start over pedri
Imagine not giving England any credit!😂
Pedri gave spain the controle in mid field
Espi should be in the squad instead of Ferran.
From the Spanish side, it was a frustrating game to watch. So many mistakes from some of the best players. So many missed opportunities (Ferran Torres!!!!) Spain’s defense was weak without Porro or the World Cup 4. Some parts were good but for the most part, not good enough for a Champion.
It's almost like Spain are the reigning Olympic, World, European champions who haven't been beaten in 38 games.
Jude gave Rodri whole lots of problems. How he glides with the ball pissing through the heart of Spain was a beauty to watch🔥
2 big mistakes by Man City players too distracted by the cheating 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jude was outstanding 🔥
Never mind the England vs Spain game Spain are miles above England. I want to hear Nedums thoughts on the man city situation 😂😂😂
England pushed forward for 3rd goal. Didnt park bus. Some bad errors, but we all know defence lacks quality. Not ALL on Tuchel. Played english way and direct. Fans said its ok to lose so long as we go toe to toe. We tried it. No complaints.
A lot of "IFS" on behalf of Spain in this anti-England biased analysis. If Torres, if Yamal etc - but what "if" Guehi hadn't given them their first goal? And what "if" Kane hadn't slipped? Spain have a better balance teamwide which allows them to pace themselves, but they were run ragged in the first half. Jude, Anderson, and Gordon are a level above the rest of the team but they can't do it alone.
Gordon said the same thing before the game an the English media attcked him..<br>English aren't able to control the game as well as spain..<br>Its just levels
Good, objective analysis ESPNFC. Keep it up.
spain the best team🎉🎉
yamal ballon dor winner🎉🎉
Olė King the world 🇪🇦
It was a friendly
Jude Bellingham only plays good for England. For RM, he is only average at best on his good days.
Why can't you people say the best player was Yamal? Is that difficult? What????? He really deserve the ballon dor if Mbappe and Kane cannot win a match against him. Period!!
Kane should retire, not Ronaldo.
Ferran sobra.. su mediocridad no aporta nada a España
England was horrible. Maybe someone on the English team should retire. Just saying. That was never a Penalty.
If Rapinha was Spanish and he was there He already scored a hattrick against England.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WjE0mtSm8&t=230">3:50</a> then don’t fckin watch the game then, not hard
Spain wasn't good and individual mistakes made the difference especially the first goal was a shock for a game start , but England was good and presented a solid game .
Ferran Torres should have finished the game with 2 easy chances. Oyarzabal needs to start !
Spain ball control is top class, england players just can't control the ball properly. That's the difference. England will never win anything unless they improve on that. Kane should retire.
Better team won, simple. England were competitive, thats it.
This guys are bad in their job espn
England at home by far the most determined to get a ' big win'; Spain played as if it was a glorified friendly. The Gulf in athleticism, of class between Spain and the three pussycats was there for all to see. Kane scored from a deflection. Kane symptomatic of England: too timid to win; too accustomed to losing. His penalty was a farce that brought back memories of his failure against France, which was an echo of Beckham, of Terry, and on and on. England eternally on the outside looking in.
Thanks to the Sardine, it looked like a close game.
Harry Kane in the Balon dor conversation is a scam, this guy is very good at stat padding against lesser opponents but whenever he face a serious opponent for both club and country over the years he ghost like a coward being in the midfield just like Mbappe stays at the left flank. This Balon should be given to either Olise or Yamal, not Kane and Mbappe.
The difference in technical ability and how to keep the ball, escape pressure between English players and Spanish players is worlds apart. Gordon and Jude are England’s best players who are also in Spain.
That England backline was garbage. Seems like they weren't in sync. Guehi gave the ball to Yamal. Quansah played Torres onside. Maybe if they fix the backline they might have a chance.
Spain is impossible to play against. The movement off the ball, technical ability and change of pace are amazing to watch.
Yamal played much much better than Kane.
Mayweather jr tbe best boxer!!!!!
"England had a great 15-minute period between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half". So England won the halftime break? :D
Picture of Jude Fraudingham in the thumbnail - did absolutely nothing in the game. Dived for the penalty. The PR is a disgrace
Spaniard here. It was a very sloppy game from both sides. People also should've chosen better cleats because they were slipping all over the place...I'm looking at you Nico.
this game was supposed to be 4-3 in actual sense
This was a stronger Spain team than the World Cup winning team because Williams and Yamal were 100% fit. So England did well given it wasn’t their strongest 11. It was a fairly even game and England lost the game due to simple individual mistakes. I just don’t rate O’Reily he is awful defensively and doesn’t offer anything attacking with his feet. He just a tall lanky athletic guy who scores goals from headers and keeps getting exposed as a bad defender against good teams. His mistake cost England a win. And it makes me question Tuchel that he plays O’Reily and Quansah at fullback when they are both bad on the ball and Englandhave better fullbacks on both sides that can defend and attack well. <br><br>It just makes me more angry about the Argentina semifinal because this match showed England would have e given Spain a far tougher World Cup final and were more equipped to beat Spain than both Argentina and France. Let’s be real England lost this game due to three huge mistakes rather than Spain dominating them. Two schoolboy defensive errors and a missed penalty, a non-called Saka pk and Quansah easy header and the score would have been 5-1 to England if they didn’t make mistakes.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WjE0mtSm8&t=612">10:12</a> the difference is Jude doesn't have Gordon in RM to help him cook. Gordon is cooking for Rodri in Barca lol so yeah, good luck :D
City players making mistakes left and right. the guilt must be getting to them
Coulda, woulda, shoulda, is not the same as scoring.<br>England played well and should have won even though Spain was the<br> better team.
Africans gather here
Bellingham playing good and doing all he can do just for England to still disappoint as a whole. what a surprise <br><br>their defense was SHOCKING today
Shaka is right at least in the sense that right after the WC and with the fact leagues already started this feels useless even tho it's still top level
HOW was that a penalty?? No touch, complete dive..... how???
Yo that game could have been 3-0 before even the 20th minute if not for Ferran Torres
First
