England have been favourites since 1966 😂😂😂
Where they cheated to win
😂😂😂😂
Yes..............and: 3rd place in the 68 Euro, 3rd in the 96 Euro and Vice in 2021. WC: 4th 1990 and 4th 2018.....nothing really impressive.
@@andrekoerber7334 There was no 3rd place game at Euro 96.
England loves to think of themselves as a football power but compare their record to Germany, Italy, France etc. It's laughable.
Even Greece, Denmark and the Czechs have won the Euros once, all countries the arrogant English would look down on
@@andrekoerber7334 England is a joke. Spain has a World Cup , and a euros , France has a couple … but this time it’s different 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once again Southgate showing he has no idea how to use Foden. How can such an incompetent coach be in charge of all of this talent. It's so disappointing to watch
This game showed how important a coach is. Good players will look bad with a not so good coach.
@@sigmaboi2946 its so important. The Trent selection was horrendous. Put Foden in at 10, let Bellingham play double pivot with Rice and get a real winger like Anthony Gordon outside. Kane also never has an impact for England. Would love to see Ollie Watkins out there
Overhyped players, depend on foreign talent…… as always
And don’t forget this ESPN guys want southgate replace ETH 😂😂😂
Is not the coach, foden ghosted today because even PEP plays foden from the left too. So is not solely the coach .
The luck England had was the SERBIAN midfield and wingers wasn't that good... Try this with FRANCE OR PORTUGAL and I will come back here to comment again.
England is obviously a far bigger nation than Serbia in the football world but to call Serbia "a very mediocre team" is very disrespectful mehn.
we are very mediocre ;)
Every Serb would agree that we are very mediocre as a team. As individuals we're great, as a team, lots of problems. Hence why we always underperform at tourneys.
We are mediocre team,im serb.Something happened to england in 2nd half.I seriously thought we gonna score,we were better.If you struggle against Serbia,sorry but i think you wont go far with some insane teams we have
as someone who's not English and could care less what happens to the English team, the pundits who go out there defending that horrible excuse for a manager are the biggest crackheads I have ever seen
I’m English. It’s crazy to suggest we are favourites😂 England literally do the same time in every tournament. Scrape past bad teams with a 1-0.. probably draw against Denmark, then another 1-0 win.. 1-0 in the last 16 then go out to the first top team we meet.
Bank it.
1-0 in last 16? That’s if they’re lucky enough to play a team with less prolific goal scorers. If they meet any of the top teams, they’ll get found out like they did today.
@@justinkollie1743English fans are more pessimistic than Serbian fans lol. I am Serbian and we expected England to thrash us. Honestly it was a good game for Serbia and England was maybe poor, but again Argentina and Spain lost to Saudis and Switzerland. I remember Greece and Portugal playing boring football yet they won Euros 😂
Before every big tournament the English tell themselves that they are the favorites! The English team is never worth 1.5 billion! I don't know how they arrive at such a market value?!
Didn't we beat Germany in the knockout stages of the last Euros? Doesn't fit your pattern, so perhaps you know nothing after all.
The left looked awful. We have to do 1 of 2 things.
1. Foden central Gordon on. Bellingham back and TAA off.
2. Foden swapped for Gordon.
Germany and Netherlands attacked with penetration with pace, we knock it around at the back allowing a weak opposition to organise. What’s the point.
England knock it around the back because they don't have a midfielder with enough quality to receive the ball under pressure. I like Rice and Bellingham, but they don't have the technical level of a Xavi, a Pirlo, a Zidane or a Modric
Exactly. Defense transition to lateral
Yet Netherlands relied on a late winner and Germany faced the worst defence in the competition
Serbs are that good
The Netherlands were not that good in the second half. Poland could have scored 2.
The English arrogance: "if this was a proper opposition..." - No respect for the opposition. It is now clear, it is not coming home.
England was not settling for a 1:0 victory. They looked good in the first 20 minutes or so because Serbia was willing to play for a 0:0 draw and conceded possession by playing deep on their own half. Once England scored, Serbia had to chase the game and in so doing demonstrated that once a team decides to take the fight to England their vulnerabilities and inefficiencies are going to become painfully obvious to those who continue to label them “tournament favorites.”
💯 they don't want to accept this reality...but that's exactly what happened
Exactly. Getting tired of the narrative that England sat back and played defensively. They didn’t. They just got pressed and didn’t know how to counter it. Which is arguably much more worrying than a supposed defensive tactical setup. We weren’t defensive, we were risky and not controlled.
Of all the top rated teams seen so far in the competition, England looked the least competent.
@@windsqidCroatia? and Poland is better than Serbia
@@windsqid what about Croatia?
They are so overrated 😂
They haven't looked good for a while now.
france to struggle against austria button :
Aside from Jude Bellingham’s excellent performance that resulted in a goal, Serbia seemed to have England on the ropes in the second half. Harry Kane posed no threat, constantly struggling in the box, and Foden was practically invisible. To suggest that England will make it to the finals after today’s performance seems highly improbable.
It’s 1 game bro let’s relax a little
Saka played well too.
@@ragnerlouthbrok4715 Saka had a very good first half but second half he was utterly invisible.
Spain and Argentina both lost their first games at the World Cup and ended up winning it. It's not abt how you start...but abt how you finish
Kanes hold up play was good he won a fair few free kicks in the 2nd but he was running out of steam and had zero service
English players are not as good as the Italians, German, French, Spanish, Argentina or Brazil. Never have been and never will be. Their records speaks for themselves.
but compared to other England performances this was poor
What have the current Spanish squad done? Or the current Brazilian and German squads?
@@user-ed7et3pb4ostill more than boring England
Foden has been under performing in England's team for the last two years so i am not surprised and I am not surprised either by Saka's great performance
Underperforming? How about horrible.
Saka wasn't good too. And foden wasn't underperforming, he was terrible
@@shashwatrao6949Saka was great but ofc England sit back for some reason and never get the ball to saka in the second half
The media won’t mention him because they love Maguire despite his massive shortcomings. But Guehi was rock solid today and a big step up over Maguire. Maguire should have been dropped years ago.
Guehi was good, but he looks too soft and too short.
@@samnedumedja5323 He’s over 6 foot and an inch shorter than Stones. And if you think he’s soft than you clearly have not watched him closely at Palace.
Nothing was rock solid in this performance… nothing
bro what? the media absolutely despise maguire what you on about? dude is the most trolled england player, possibly ever always getting the blame.
Yeah, he was good. Back line isnt England's problem
Serbia deserved 1 point today, if we looked at the second half. Much credit for them.
They sadly went missing when they got close to England's box.
@@PaYaB_005 Yes, you're right, Serbian players took off absolutely Kane, Foden disappeared, they won the second half by far. Even England won the game we should respect Serbia, also the England team. England has the strongest line up in this game against Serbia.Much respect.
Tnx, we just couldn't score the goals
@@vukaleksic1654 It doesn't matter ,it is going to be better against Slovenia and Denmark. Serbia can advance from the group as second or best third
Um they had 1 shot on target and it wasn't even on target 😂
It's hilarious how Dan keeps bringing up how England players perform for their clubs, but fails to mention that they are surrounded by foreign talent that make them look much better than they actually are.
In the middle of a passage of play where Foden was right in amongst the sequence of passing he stopped playing and pulled up his socks as if to say don't give me the ball,shocking
self proclaimed ‘favourites’
I’ve not met a single person in this country who thinks that. We are all expecting to crash out in the quarters all the time Southgate is in charge.
Before every big tournament the English tell themselves that they are the favorites! The English team is never worth 1.5 billion! I don't know how they arrive at such a market value?!
This is the bias deluded media we have in this country. No real English football fan who knows anything about football thinks we’ll win the euros.
favourites are based on betting odds
British bs media hypejobs
Its going home once England faces Germany Spain Netherlands or France ...
I am afraid it will be a lot earlier
We can beat those teams lol only team who can beat us is France or maybe Portugal if Ronaldo performs otherwise we’re better than all
@@LeoRonaldo-ss1ksstop smoking weed. It makes you hallucinate….😂
@@LeoRonaldo-ss1ks lol Spain Will beat England easily
What are you saying man? Your comment is innacurate... you forgot, Portugal, Italy, and Croatia.
I''m English BTW. But it is likely.
SouthGate is incompetent. England don’t have a fit left back, but ends up starting the game with 3 right backs on the pitch, 1 of them is playing in midfield. One of the best offensive midfielders in the world is pushed out on the wing and pretty much isolated the whole game. And you don’t start or sub in Eze, Gordon or Palmer which can make things happen. Southgate needs to go
This was a very tactical game, and i don't think England played that bad. Serbia are clearly strong physically, and did deserve a draw (imo).
I think England defended very well when it came to it. They defended set pieces the right way with every player dealing with their markers. And there were almost always England players to clear the crosses and cutbacks.
I think England fans want their team to win every game 4-0, but it's just too much criticism.
Tactical game? 😂🤣😭
Always remember that there are even people from England itself hoping for their own country to lose because their favourite player from their club wasn't picked.
Serbia xG 0.17...
@@Chip_Fuse I am English and always hope for them to lose ever since they started kneeling and putting the paedo flag on their shirts. Disgusting team with disgusting values.
Credit to serbia tho they played very well
they didnt know what to do with the Ball
um not really
They lost. Bottom of the table.
They lost 💩
Yes they lost but England is a favourite of the competition it was weak from England @@user-sz2ut4od6s
They criticized havertz for only getting a goal and a assist vs Scotland but great win and great display from world class kane and foden, oh wait, let's blame the manager 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stuff someone that's clueless about football strategy would say.
@@MoBaconLives England players are just average. And the English are blaming their coach for that.
You think Kane wouldn't have scored a penalty?
@@BenjaminKeller is that what you thought havertz did? No wonder you think your players are world class, kane can't score that penalty just like he couldn't score against France to help his team advance in the world cup, unlike kane, havertz first aim in a match is to win for his team not to win highest goal scorer also havertz plays 2 to 3 positions in a match, he's not a striker though, I see a lot of you and your pundits don't understand what he does but that's the point, his football is not for the basic fan, it's for the football heads, world class england players will get knocked out and run back to epl where fans think they are better than Pele and every non english player gets disrespected
Same old story, “Gotta select the Big Club players” over players in form from smaller clubs. It’s been England’s problem for over 20 years
I'm not English, but their problem starts with the goalkeeper Pickford. In modern football, the goalkeeper should be cool, calm and relaxed. He should also help to build up the game from the back and carry it forward, which Pickford does not reflect at all.
He tries to make unnecessary long 30 yards pass towards Kane, who is alone against 2 defenders, the ball is lost.
Gets upset about his teammates at every action and save.
There is no pressure from the opponent and still his pulse is at 180.
At crosses and corners that he could easily catch, he fists away.
Is not exactly a big help for the defense with Stones and Walker, who usually have a calm and technically strong goalkeeper (Ederson)
I agree, keep a cool look, he seems overly emotional.
The punch out was totally unnecessary, just catch it man . No pressure.
This was a moral loss for England
United States is so positive and England is so negative
A three point moral loss that sees us top the table? I’ll take that all day every day.
Moral loss but a clean sheet.
@@SharibatinxSoccer isn't a big sport in the USA, in England this is their national sport so they have higher expectations than we Americans do. Imagine if the USA basketball team barely beat a smaller nation that we know isn't anywhere near the talent we have, our fans would freak out too.
@@qaxcgyujm we still aren’t as panicky as them
Favorites 😂😂😂 this is why people hate England so much. The new Belgium. Always favorites in every tournament despite winning nothing. They're gonna go out again
Lakaka masterclass incoming!!
We hate them because they play dirty nothing else they always make fauls when frustrated / outplayed by smaller teams
You’re one of those guys that thinks no teams are good
Europe's finished
@@andersmortensen7415
The new Belgium? The English think they are favorites in every tournament since decades. Belgiums were always pretty humble about their team.
Who is that pundit that said England should have kept the foot down and defeat Italy 3 or 4 to null in the last Euro final?
Clown!
You cannot do that when your opponent makes the ball disappear to you for most of the game.
English players did not have the skills to prevent that.
Really they were going to pump 4 goals on Italy when they conceded like 1 goal entire tourney.
Absolute clown.
Hey I’m Serbian and we have some quality, we arnt a push over and our physicality definitely hindered England
Serbia could win over a team like Denmark honestly.
Your team dominated us physically. Fair play and would have deserved a draw.
Once your team got some self belief you looked dangerous. Vlahovic is a baller.
I really think you’ll win your next two games, yes you were physical and aggressive and were able to compete aerially, but you were also quick and decisive and played really well as a team. England spent a lot of time chasing the ball and couldn’t get close because you pressed so well and your pad accuracy was good. It’s just in the final third that you couldn’t connect but I think that’s a matter of luck. Honestly we were very lucky to get away with a win against you, good luck for the rest of the group!
*pass accuracy
Just woke up ,i didn't even watch the game, let me guess Southgate made foden play wide left and he was terrible as usual ?
Yup, exactly what happened. Foden looked awful
Pretty much 😀
Yup. And trent played terrible as a midfielder.
When England were on top in the first half, the midfield was crowded because Bellingham was playing too deep, and Arnold was often bypassed. This could be tweaked before the next game, but expect Gallagher to start instead
Let me guess Vincent. You predict your life will fail. Let it happen and then say told you so 🙄
First good team we play and we're done lol. If we played that way against Italy, Germany or Spain! we would get battered.
Big time …
The fish got battered last night in the chippy 😂❤
Or the Netherlands. They showed miles more quality.
Relax. We’ll grow into the tournament. Wins a win
When foden and Kane flop they are not on the backpages! But when saka comes on for 25 minutes he is the villain !
english commentators before the start of the tourny:
- England will dominate all teams and win. Italy will finish 4th in its group
after the first game:
- England will struggle against teams like italy
😅
5-1 😂
England is not an independent country
The UK should be one team not 4 teams representing different parts of the UK
@@zeeone4492 Good luck trying to get that to happen.
@@zeeone4492 But there is no "UK" football federation or league. In international competitions it is the federation that gets represented, not the nation.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia Why do England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland play as separate teams if they belong to UK?
The home nations’ role in developing football is behind FIFA’s willingness to allow them to compete as separate teams.
Saka Rice and Bellingham deserve praise
Foden and Kane need to get the criticism they deserve
They parked the bus, what you expect Kane will do?
The problem is Southgate playing foden on the left foden Is not a winger
Without Kane being an outball for Pickford from the press this was a loss. Which says more about England as a whole though.
@@philipmorrison5284excuses huh,,he always been rubbish for the national team,,,
Trent was Poor too
Southgate the armadillo. Any risk and he curls up into a defensive ball. England are not winning anything with Southgate. Looks like the final against Italy.
A good coach sees the second half and replaces Kane with Watkins to prevent The Serbs pushing forward and gives England a counter attacking try rest with speed. Southgate sees that does nothing for 70 minutes, subs the only player with pace, puts on two holding players holds on against an interior team for 45 minutes. Southgate is wasting this talented team. He clearly is a limited coach.
Big up Guehi . The media and world was saying England was weak in defence because they know who Guehi because he plays for a smaller team and doesn’t benefit from racially bias media hype. People forget he was Chelsea’s star youth defender and won the youth Champions league and U20 World Cup with England. He is a big upgrade on Maguire because he is fast and strong and comfortable on the ball.
Excuse, excuse, excuse
Even Ancelotti wouldn't win a trophy with this so called talented England team. Overhyped, overrated
Did you just bring up race? Lolol
Overhyped players! social media players 🤣
Why were England so slow to make adjustments in the second half.
@@paulybluenose it is Southgate isn’t a proactive coach and is actually afraid do changes, so allows teams to dominate second halves because never reacts their tactical changes and always makes cautious changes late in the game. He is England’s biggest weakness and will be the main reason England don’t win it.
England was very fortunate to not concede a penalty by Trippier in the 2nd half. Very fortunate.
Nicolo Barella > Jude Bellingham
Rubbish😂 that’s why England beat Italy in the qualifiers yeah?
@@user-ed7et3pb4o Thanks for proving you know nothing about football. Barella would be on Kroos/Busquest level if he played in EPL or La Liga. The comparison was Barella vs Jude, not England vs Italy.
@@user-ed7et3pb4ocalm down it has been a rebuilding time for them with new coach. What does this comparison between 2 players have anything to do with a result of a match?
Typical British media.. won't call Foden out. But saka is rigid haha😂😂😂 Saka is ALWAYS England's best player on the pitch. 3 years running now
What you talking about? He lost us the final and how is our best player every game? I don't like Foden either and see Foden as a robot for man city playing a role
@@dondamon4669foden is one of the best footballers in the world lmao you casuals don’t have a clue about football
@@dondamon4669Southgate lost us the final by bricking it and parking the bus. Saka has been Englands best player for the past few years
@@dondamon4669where was this energy when Kane missed a pen vs France in the World Cup quarter finals? Get outta here.
Saka is twice the player he didn’t get any support yesterday and still played well
Good game for Serbia. Mitrović would have scored if he stayed until end
Ppl downplaying serbia .. they topped their world cup qualifying with Portugal in the group..
Gerrard , Lampard , Rooney, Beckham, Ferdinand, scholes , Owen these all greats were never played like team and same with this team , this is England
What's so surprising England been playing like this for last 30 years this is their mentality not going to change in one month thats all they know!
To be fair the football was good under Glen and Sven..
Just stupid errors. Injuries and pens took us out.
Southgate and Mclaren have been dire
@@eyeballjellyforbreakfast Hoddle and Venables, yes.
Eriksson, maybe for short bursts over 2001-04 but 2005-06 was ridiculously bad, culminating with the German World Cup. If anything that World Cup was the start of England as a team where the centre backs and defensive mids pass it back and forth amongst themselves, then hoof it long when they have had enough.
Thank you. Blaming Southgate for everything is just the English running away from having the uncomfortable conversation that the lack of mentality is the main reason why England don't win.
Mentality 😂😂😂 Wrong word
As a neutral fan... The issues of England stem from LIVERPOOL players. Gerrard was destroying the chemistry between Lampard n Scholes. Now somehow England has to play TAA😂😂 at the expense of team s chemistry n balance. Do you even know that

I think England were quite lucky today. Serbia player very well and almost scored a goal.
There is a reason England have only one major trophy in their history. They have immense talent but they are also overhyped.
The English media overhyped heir team for decades.
Also very small country so we have to play non English players
England got no talent.lots of side pass, back pass players
Constantly overhyped by his own! 🤷🏻♂️
Whatever "immense" talent they have, there have always been more talented squads than England's which get talked about much less.
Southgate is trying to get two quality players into the side but with both playing out of their normal club positions. This experiment of TAA ( mid) and Phil Foden (left) isn't going to work.
Stop making excuses for Foden. He is horrible for country.
Fodden shoutable in midfield

Bellingham AND his brother Jobe both have that same inner belief. It's an inner confidence instilled in them by their parents and its without fear. Their parents have done a phenomenal job of raising their sons to believe in themselves.
I noticed that as well it’s definitely the mentality that was given to them
Alright now, all those who said England are above Spain, pop out right now. Because I have been saying otherwise

It's hard to understand why Foden never plays a decent game internationally
Because Southgate plays him wide and not centrally like he plays for City. England also has no identity with their style of play. Hard for players to shine when there is no definitive structure
he was kinda just running around..

What's more obvious is Foden shouldn't be starting.

Tho one thing to notice, jude was not there main player in CL, it was vini jr, even rudiger, kroos were more imortant for real in CL, camavinga had better performance in the finals at wembley. But these guys have praised him like he was the only reason they won CL.
@@vatsalsingh1555 this was nudes literally all season. Was know where to be seen in most games until he scored a goal. And the English media would say he isbthe best player in the world and he should win the ballondor. IMO he is a Bit OVERRATED
English, that's why!
Salivating all over him 😂. I get he’s a fantastic player but the US midfield took England out of the game and Jude was non existent. He had acres of Space today when Serbia sat back early in the game which was a mistake that led to the goal, once he scored they started pressuring the midfield and England immediately started turning the ball over and got sloppy with their passing. England may improve their passing but a good team will catch England napping in the back and will go to town.
@@vatsalsingh1555this is what I don’t understand about Englands media.

Fact is that there are definitely players that are much better than him but get much less praise and media attention
Burley has one neuron.
Serbia have lost only one game in the last year. Balkan players are the best in the world.
That was a very, very good result.
England one objective was to win not to entertain you. England bagged the 3 points, kept a clean sheet, sits on top of the group. Next!
Yep but you have to look at,the prospects of playing more talented teams in the knockout rounds.
Next, go home.
@@misterlexx2721funny, because there will be even less entertaining when it comes to that. If the team scraps a win like this, fans should be happy. England are not big enough like Spain or Brazil to always want to play pretty like that.
The trouble is that we've been hearing this "first game only, there is time to improve yet" for nearly 20 years but the improvement never materialises.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgiaoh give it a rest. This is literally only the second euros ever where England has started with a win (the last being 1-0 over Croatia in 2021). This is absolutely not an average England performance, and you’re crazy if you expect people to start complaining over three points and a clean sheet. Of course there were things to improve on, so what? The negativity is pointless and tiring. It’s entertainment, lighten up. And don’t bet on England if you’re going to get so bitchy after a win!

May be England should try Pep’s system for once
@@emadmohamedableSouthgate can't

@@emadmohamedablethat takes years of work to get working at club level. Never gonna happen on the international stage
Worst match of the Euros so far. And this overrated England team had a part in it. Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands played so much better, more balanced teams, especially on the ball England are horrible. Trent is not a midfielder, just playing long passes doesn‘t qualify you to play in that role. He isn’t press-resistent and can’t play on the half turn. The left side is bad, Foden needs to play in the 10, he would do better than Bellingham. Against stronger teams, you need more creativity in the middle. Jude in the 10 can’t offer that. They lack a controller as well, like Kroos is for Germany, Rice is not that guy. The defence will struggle against better teams, especially Trippier on the left is far off international top level. Overall i would be shocked if they make it past the quarters.
I wander what Watkins, Toney, Eze and Palmer, Gordon must be thinking 🤔 this manager is utterly clueless! Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and even Holland will dismantle this England team because of Southprat!
Southtwatt
Wins a win, onwards and upwards, stop moaning
How in fcukin World they left Sancho at home???? The best player of a cl finalist... a player that can make the difference... e.g. in games like this !!!
Unbelievable
Southgate brought on Gallagher, when we needed Gordon or Eze on the left. Southgate plays not to lose, he doesn't play to win.
Disagree. Gallagher gave them some energy. So did Bowen. Foden should have been subbed.
Gallagher was needed TAA is not a CM. Gordon should start.
He also kept slow Kane on all game.
Hurts to say this because I'm a Palace fan and I absolutely adore Ebs and want to see him play. But I don't think he's fit to come in on the left *unless* Shaw is playing at LB and can provide actual width. Ebs will do essentially what Foden did with cutting into the middle. For all his quality -- and Dear Lord he has a lot of it -- Eze is a natural 10 and usually doesn't pull defenders wide. Gordon can do that, though.
@@zdbrownieGordon should start ahead of who?
I think Serbia were tough and played well. England were not bad but there were two teams playing on the pitch
Absolutely Serbia was a good opponent.
Serbia played well but if you think you would have won today playing against Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Portugal you would have lost that game.
@@Mrv1960 It is true Serbia probably couldn't win against them, however they played against a favourite team England which is full of Premier league players.
@@Mrv1960Serbia has beat Portugal not too long ago.
I don't understand how you would have Gordon and Eze on the bench and you are playing a foden at the left
Honestly, England barely won. Did not see anything to suggest they are the favorites. Better teams will not be as forgiving.
So Foden got best player in the EPL yet i barely saw him do anything in those 90 minutes.
Thierry Henry got best EPL awards on numerous occasions and yet for France failed to impact games in the same manner he did for Arsenal.
@@OGCHuilaworld cup winner Henry?
@@OGCHuila lmaoo it ain't the same thing at alll my boy
And... Did you see him play in the EPL???
@@angryman132yea world Cup winner Henry ..he was a passenger 😂..it's known as Zidane World Cup not henry😂
Not all great players have great performances in their national team. People tend to forget how Messi was criticized for years for his lacklust performances in Argentina. People just forgot that when Argentina won competitions, even if Messi wasn't, arguably, the most influential on those wins.
this Southgate guy seems to have not even watched a single Bayern Munich game to understand how to use Kane. Ridiculous
Typical english media! Overhyping england and downgrading germany😂😂😂😂
Lol serbia had them on the ropes for majority of the game all of English players were mid after the goal. Over to you Portugal and France
I think the most frustrating thing in the whole game is seeing how England can play in the first 15-20 minutes, but shrank into a team who looked sub par.
They had the perfect opportunity to shush every single hater, but decided not to put the game to bed, Serbia were really unlucky to not get a draw ..........at the very least.
Respect for Serbia, don't understimate it, half of the players was from serie A
Don’t say that the English only know the Premier League. But every tournament they wonder why they are eliminated because they think they have the best players.
they were hopeless
I bet it was easier watching this, than watching Scotland the other night though boys!
To be honest with you m8 I think you are missing the point here really 🤔 I get burley is scottish and they got smashed by a decent german team however forget that we are talking about england here I have zero interest in having a pop at scotland really and it has been the same style of football since the last euros which we didnt win because of southgate negative tactics and poor in match substitutions cost us winning the euros four years ago so I wanted him gone then personally🤣 it was so obvious that match would either result in a narrow england win or a dissapointing draw which easily could of happened btw I think I have spoke to you before m8 so let me spell this out to you in simple terms I wanted m utd to sack ten hag and then get southgate because I am a liverpool fan as you might know 🤣
Scotland have little or no talent. England have heaps yet are restrained by the limitations of their manager
@@michaelrowell7798 I agree m8 could you not understand what I was getting at with my original comment re southgate? I wanted him gone after the glorious failure of losing the last euro tournament vs italy in the final on penalties 🤣 in an ideal world I would love to see him replace ten hag aswell it aint going to happen is it well not for now anyway but let me live in hope that one day it will do🤣
@@simonoliver8576I’ll be honest with you, the bit of banter has gone flying miles over your head! Whooooosh
@michaelrowell7798 Scott Mctommay ! 😅😅😅😅
its almost as if craig burley aint watched england under southgate in the last eight years and previous three tournaments🤣
He’s English therefore he gets a pass. 😐
@@MarkE-te2juHe's scottish 😂
@@cristianoreddevil9736 People here think it's the same thing. 2 scots talking about England (lol) for an American channel and everyone here think it's the English media.
Worst comment section ever. Even worse than Reddit.
@@Lizzi__ No! Ppl here in the comments are just clueless. On the other hand, ppl on reddit mostly have some kind of brain damage, that is much worse.
They played beautifully in Qatar didn't they
England has to go all out for Pep after the Euros. Get an interim for one year and agree with Pep whatever it takes. Pep will have a field day with this squad.
Problems to fix - (1) patterns of play that keep possession and move it up the field, (2) coordinated energetic pressing, (3) creativity through the middle (lots of missed runs) and no one dribbling and taking men on (4) not using at least FOUR subs for variation and freshness, (5) fast tactical adjustments during the game and maybe a manager that adds some personality to the sideline… there’s more but…
Southgate made an elite group of players look like Luton.
Thats unfair.
Luton were entertaining to watch on occasion.
Southgates England have played like this in every single match.
More like burnley
Hey Luton are ok to watch this was so unentertaining i am lost for words
@@m.p.7075💯 Luton have a clear and distinct style of play.
It didn't work all the time but when it did it was great and it was always entertaining.
However it's a bit nieve and you can't do that at an international tournament
Objectively most of these comments didn't watch the match. It was chemistry issues not coaching. These player's definitely have chips on their shoulders and it's from club level.
England is a literal eyesore.
That makes zero sense
@@grimble9 of course it does. My eyes blew up on me and I had a massive headache. So yes. It makes perfect sense.
Wrong Manager. Serbia wouldn’t be allowed to play like that against France , Germany or Spain so that tells me they won’t win the tournament.
This is not rocket science. Put Bellingham next to Rice and make him STAY there! Let Phoden play the 10 with the free role! Phoden is a better overall player but Jude is the better goal threat. You need controll in this types of tournaments and Unlocking Phoden would help the team more than Jude abandoning his role next to Rice.
You’re then free to have 2 dangerous wingers in Gordon and Saka with Harry Kane occupying the CBs and being a crossing option.
Southgate has to be ruthless and upset the apple cart by making Jude stay next to Rice as he is has the most attributes for the role.
Foden never plays well for England, regardless of what position he is playing. You people love making excuses for his ineptness 🤦♀️
@@mannyyard9882 Phoden is not my cup of tea in terms of a difference maker but him playing as a 10 answers more questions than Jude. His passing, movement, spacial awareness, unpredictabilty and ability in tight spaces makes him ideal. Him not showing previous consistency does not mean he cannot grow once his position is solidified. Any player who is moved around will always give inconsistent performances.
Jude is a great distance shooter, athletic and very good in identifying space. There is no other profile which would work there from Southgate’s options on the roster.
Not saying England would be much stronger offensively but would definately help them sustain control of a match for more than just 20 mins smh. They need someone who can control the tempo of the game and I believe Jude can do that.
So you gonna make our best player sit back so a player that never turns up can take his position. Madness. Phoden and akane were our worst players. They should be on the bench
Agree with you, Foden is a top notch player, not being used properly, regards from Ireland!
@@matthewshepherd-ph8ng and who on the bench are better options than the those two? Bellingham is NOTHING SPECIAL bro. I know for a fact you know a WC player when you see one. Bellingham just doing what Ramsey, Lingaard and a few others did before to get recognized as a goal threat.
He is overrated in Spain even if his stats are there, he is not as essential to RM as Vini or Kroos is in the biggest moments. But to each their own. Good points.
An ominous sign of things to come. If England can only beat a weak team like Serbia 1-0, how can they beat stronger teams like Spain, Italy, France, and Holland? All of those teams thrashed their opponents.
Why did England sit back in the 2nd half? Typical Southgate.
France hasn't played yet.
Like if Argentina can't win against Saudi Arabia?
Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, first match, in Qatar. England won 6-2 ,first match against Iran. Who won the tournament? Start slowly, and build gradually. Don’t look left, don’t look right. Concentrate on what’s in front of you. You can only beat what’s in front of you.
why do you speak about france, they didn't even played for the moment
The brother knows the future😂@@jesuisencoler
i thought the main issue was that foden wanted to sit in midfield and didn't press at all. he gave serbia a ton of space to play in and caused bellingham to have to work harder. i don't think he was within ten yards of the fullback for a vast majority of the game.
who's the guy in the middle? he sucks.
I thought the pressing from the team (especially Saka) did not seem coordinated either.
Which means he is not good enough.
In every club they play they have much better teammates from OTHER COUNTRIES that just make them LOOK better than they actually are.
Lucky to get a win.
Will have to be extremely lucky to get to quarter finals
Man had they sacked Ten Hag this is the guy they were fawning over to replace him. Whoever gave crapgate a modicum of praise to be United's clear choice should be drawn and quartered.
Ten Hag is clueless...
Southgate at United would have been great entertainment for the rest of the league. Hopefully it still happens when Ten Hag gets sacked at Xmas
@@realbro1415 clueless
That's rather bitter @@adtastic1533
Not sure why Southgate subbed Trent as I felt Foden was incredibly poor but I dare say thats mostly down to Southgate being absolutely inept and does not know how to use him. Also Kane had almost zero service and was equally as poor today as I have ever seen him in a match.
Im sorry the Trent criticism is beyond me from these pundits, he actually did not do much wrong bar one bad pass in the first half. Why not talk about the fact that Southgate is an utterly awful coach and its his fault how the team is playing at the moment.
Trent was awful. Looked like he was trying to gift Serbia a goal. Don't be so bias. To be fair, he should be at rb. He's clearly not a midfielder
@@bleb87 By your logic then Foden was awful as well as hes definitely not a left winger. Lets be honest here we can both agree this all ends up on Southgate being just a bad tactician.
@alexischristou3266 no. Foden was just okay. He didn't almost gift Serbia two goals. So there's that, but he should have been subbed out.. trent, guehi, foden and kane should have been subbed out
Trent was awful! He didn't do nothing wrong but did nothing good!
@@mattilewiswhere's the hate?? It's just criticism!
I just returned from the stadium. While I feel like it was not an undeserved victory for England, their performance was still underwhelming.
Still, such a tournament is long and England will grow over the course of it.
I'm just sad that my Serbia didn't manage to score one even though we played quite well, especially in the 2nd half.
Cheers and good luck.
I still think Serbia will qualify.If Serbia played like this against the other 2 teams they could easily get 4 points.And Denmark and Slovenia will defo drop points to England despite England not being great
@@uzaidgurjee4798 Let's hope you're right 🙂👍🏻
Germany or France to be champions would be my bet to win it all
Don’t sleep on Spain, they’ve renounced possession football for direct attacks and have two extremely talented wingers
Foden is not as good as u guys think. He plays better with the system
Yeah hes only the premier league player of the season
So what is football without system??? 😃😃
I don't think Foden is good. One decent year and he wins PL player of the year. His fans know he is average, but cult members can't say anything negative about him 😳.
@@mannyyard9882 the guy is 23 and won 6 titles, a CL, done a treble, won 4 leagues in a row and just been voted best player in the league. Yeah hes average and had a 'decent' season
@@stevem9529 So since he accomplished all that, by himself, why hasn't he led England to any titles in the last 4 years 😁😁😁😁😁. You people will trip over a point and still not see it 😁😁😁😁😁.
Trent looked like a lost chicken
He was awful
TAA was misused
What game were you watching. You spelled Trent incorrect. It's spelt Foden, who had a horrendous game you 🤡.
He has to be a city fan @@mannyyard9882
It’s bizarre that Trent gets a lot of slack for not playing in his correct position but then Foden who played a lot worse of a game the narrative is massively different. Foden is a great player but he’s not getting picked over Bellingham for that 10 role and he’s terrible on the left.
Good start for England but overall I don’t have a good feeling about this cause when Spain Germany Italy and France knock on the door are we not gonna concede a goal I’m not sure about that
🇩🇪 fan here I thought 🇷🇸 were a bit unlucky that they could not score a goal. I don’t think they played terribly and I want nothing lost to 🏴 is not a bad result. They should advance they won’t play atone tougher than 🏴 and they hanged with one of the top 3 favorites. 🏴 have a good team but 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 and 🇮🇹 play as a TEAM. They win as a TEAM and they lose as a TEAM. 🏴 are a bunch of rich individuals it is also a cultural thing, everyone wants to be the hero, and score the game winning goal. The thing is o not one guy can. The other problem is Southgate he is not a top tier manager, he is mediocre at best.
Steve Nicol suspiciously absent from the studio after Alexander Arnold started today for England, in midfield no less. 😉
But subbed off because it clearly wasn’t working.
So kind of vindicates Stevie as it was a daft decision to play him there…
@@Michael-cb5nmIt was working... England were worse when TAA went off. Gallagher couldn't keep or pass the ball... bias much ? He set up a huge chance for Belligham. Intercepted for a huge chance for Walker / Saka. Also had 1 of our 3 shots on target. I'd focus on inept Foden more
Arnold the only one who has that passing in the whole squad. Maybe Wharton
He wasn't that good tbh. A few long passes doesn't mean he was great.
@@TheKennyboy92 Not sure what the point of your reply was, but ok. 😁
All these gymnastics to avoid blaming the coach's tactics, were it Ten Hag, the entire convo would be about him.
🇳🇱 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 these are the favourites
italy?
Bookies must be incompetent having these guys as favourites. They look like they just met.
We won the game! What match were you watching? Its international football pal, its not a cake walk.
They are favourites only to hedge the amount of bets the English make on England.if they ever win bookies would go broke if they used their actual odds
