Alex Crook is the arrogant type of england fan that makes the rest of the world despise us đ
He makes plenty of England fans despise us too.
True words spoken!!
Yep
tthe wold despises us because of pas transgressions, notthing to do witth crook or even football
Get over it
Lol... The arrogance never dies đ
Scotland fans said theyâre going to give Germany an upset, and thatâs support. England actually GET to the final and we canât say we believe in ourselves? Thanks for watching us bitter scotch. Our biggest fans â€
â@@czhaokthat's what u said in the last 16,then the quarters, semis, đ€
Who do you support? Iâve seen so much negativity from our fans itâs been painful.. always kept the faith that our manager has got through the early nerves pressure and fatigue..weâre coming into form at the right time love it â€
@@sam_lilywhite England
What did hđ say that isnât true ?
England have literally only won 2 games this euros in 90 minutes, spain have won all 6 games what makes you think your line up is stronger. Theyve actually played tough nations
I honestly wont be surprised is Spain beat us 3-0, 4-0
â@@goonerandre8993how do you come up with that conclusion?!đ.. state some facts
They drew against Germany if you're counting 90 minutes you dope
â@@goonerandre8993stronger by what measure.Price that for sure,if we talk about ability there is huge gap
England beat Germany 3 years ago and the German team were called poor and the Italian team is the worst in living memory. That's what would have been said if England beat them this Euros but Spain get the credit (they rightly deserve) where we wouldn't.
If you go by this tournament alone... None of the England players would get in that Spanish team lol.
Players would Manager wouldnt get near it
John Stones and Kane maybe
I see only Jude and Kane making it into the Spanish Xl
@@mfjosh6422 the way Kane is playing he shouldn't be in our starting 11 , let alone a Spanish one.
You don't believe that, I'll prove it... pick your dream starting 11 based on the 2 squads. Include this tournament's form too. I'll be genuinely shocked if anybody came back with 11 Spaniards and no English players out of these two squads.
France had a better lineup than Spain doesnât mean anything
Stoichkov - what a player. that Bulgarian team in the 90's was outstanding.
They may have a stronger lineup, but Spain has a much stronger coach.
Better balanced team and better manager.
Crook is delusional
If you've never seen a Spanish League game I guess you would think the EPL players are the best.
If England win it - probably 2 or 3 days of feeling good.
If England lose it - probably a day feeling down, a 2nd day feeling slightly down, then full recovery, though when future tournaments emerge, always end up looking back at the missed opportunities.
Well that's debatable. We have big names, but so do they, and even their lesser known players are very useful. I don't see how we could be favourites when we're playing like we are, and spain have been purring and functioning very well with fast paced attacking football. We are the underdogs mate. Don't over hype us so you can bash us if we lose.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaas anyone seen Crookys neck?
đđđ
Yeah I don't think that's ever coming home
Crooky is ridiculous you go through both teams it is probably 50/50 for the breakdown of a best 11.
Not really. Rodri is the only player who gets in the England team over any other player, Bellingham kane foden get in the Spain team
â@Secret19977 the delusion is astounding
@Secret19977 lamal over saka, williams because we dnt have a left winger, laporte over guehi, keepers are 50/50, rodri over rice, olmo is 50/50 with foden. Take the goggles of.
â@@chucky7826cucurella as a left back over trippier.
â@@Secret19977 these sort of takes will only make it funnier when England loseđ
The way Netherlands with that awful front line managed to cause trouble at times, as well as the swiss can not bode well for the final imo. Spain will carve them open, if they could get through France ( best defence by far) can only see this going one way
Did any of their front 3 even have a shot? Simons was the only threat along with the defenders from corners.
England isnât even on the level of Greece in the history of this competition đ
Facts đđŸ
@clarencegaultieri8293 lol yeah coz Greece quilify for every Euro tournament don't they? đ€Łđ€Ł
@08:00 1957 blimey Jim is ancient đ
I'll have a pint of what Alex is drinkingđ
A man with a ladies name you'll have mineral water
Spain haven't been tested??
Simon over Pickford, Carvajal, Laporte, Rodri, Fabian, Yamal over Trippier, Guehi, Rice, Mainoo and Saka
Stop Overhyping your players đ©
Spain's victory against France had more to do with France just not scoring .Do believe Spain are formidable just yet.
Spain could've scored a lot more than 2 and probably should have
@@l.u4871 Spain had only 2 shots on target...
Itâs hard to know because Spain sat off second half and protected their lead, but France definitely had a couple of decent chances to level.
@@georgedavies-ball657 Yeah its weird Spain seem to do the England thing of going a goal up and then trying to protect it. Did it against Germany and France. Not sure if that's tactics or a mental thing.
@@monkey39128 I'd argue it has to be a tactics thing due to it being international tournament football. We don't see Champions League sides become so negative as soon as they get a lead, with a few exceptions... usually managed by Mourinho etc... your point is valid though. Because as you've rightly pointed out, it isn't only England doing it, hence why I think it's just cautious/boring international tactics.
What happened to our nation? The level of arrogance, self importance and entitlement is absolutely delusional
This moron does not represent our nation. đ Represents our Twitter idiots I suppose.
What did he say which isnât objective ?
3:43. Have they faced adversity?
First of all, they have. Against Georgia, Germany and France. In all of them 3 they either conceded first and had to comeback or put under severe pressure (against the strongest team, alongside them, in the host's country) and forced to play extra time.
Second of all, I'm actually gobsmacked by the logic behind this question taking into account the teams they faced in comparison to Spain. The fact that England has been put into those type of situations with, as he said himself, the best squad in the competition might just say eveything you need to know.
I wouldn't be surprised if Spain wiped-out England in the final. The fact that Spain has played against equally strong or even stronger opponents than England and still beat them gives me the confidence to know that they will lift the trophy.
Southgate won't make changes at half time like he will need to if he starts the same 10 players every game, and they'll make changes too late as usual.
England have no one that compares to Rodri. Rodri brings cohesion to the team.
Rodri couldn't lace mainoos boots boi
Nah. Sure Rodri does Rice's role and he's a far better player. Their two wingers are very effective, as is Olmo.
Alex crook has been smoking the same stuff Jim Ratcliffe has what with his low balling player valuations.
England's full backs won't know what hits them with the pace of those two Spanish boys.
alex crook would rather see man united win the fa cup than his own country lift the European cup. Says it all really. Total nause
If you want a litmus test on footballing IQ, look at whether someone can make the distinction between performance and paper.
Yeah. That is why I found it so hilarious that England actually went into the tournaments as favourites. đ
It's like people just ignored the matches we've seen this year and in previous tournaments. Even on paper, we aren't favourites imo. A lot of attacking options does not mean you are the best.
To say Spain havenât faced adversity is beyond idiotic. They had to beat the home nation in extra time (who were the better side), and against the favourites they had to come from behind to win.
Alex Crook is drunk, please sober up Spain have better line-up than England they're the best team in EURO 2024
This adidas advert was pretty long
Iâll be here when Spain humble them
I think a lot of English fans are more worried about a drubbing than winning but always have that, this year let it be different.
Why is Crooky moving like a weeble?đ
Spain will win the final and become champions for the fourth time. I'm sure England will be nervous
Alex Crook is right to a point but he hasn't thought about the Southgate factor where his idiotic team selection, tactics and in-game management will lose us the game......
e,g...IF England are in control in the first half and take a 1-0 lead clueless Southgate will have everyone defending in our own box to protect it. He'll take off our best attacking players to defend it and we'll lose.
If England as is likely go behind then Southgate will stand there like a deer in the headlights until the 85-90th minute before bringing on Watkins, Palmer, Gordon.... Too late and we'll lose.
For evidence go back and watch Croatia , Italy and France. The worst ever manager I've seen at this level!
Totally agree, Spain are a better team and if they score in the first half we are doomed. Shaw is no more than 60% and Kane for some reason is on 50%. If Kane starts we are doomed.
Under Southgate, England has had more success in knockout football matches than all other England managers combined since 1966!! We are now in back to back finals. Only the 3rd country to have managed that at the Euros. You say he's clueless, I say you have a short memory.
I'm not saying I've agreed with all his decisions, or it's not time for someone new, but people need to give him the credit he deserves and stop being so dramatic. Under Southgate, we've got used to Engkand going deep in to tournaments, and as a long suffering England supporter, I'm grateful for that.
@@1wathi Your comment shows absolutely no nuance and critical thinking. You've not factored in the relative strength of our squad under Southgate compared to our traditional big rivals. You've not factored in the very lucky draws we've had against weaker teams and the fact that the moment we meet any decent team his idiotic team selections, tactics and in-game management will cost us the game like it has in every single previous tournament. This is what will unfortunately probably happen against Spain.... One of the worst managers I've ever seen at this level!
@subculture2006 Again, I'm not saying I agree with all his decisions, absolutely not. I've been screaming at the telly for him to make quicker substitutions and frustrated with the same formation being used until we met Switzerland. I was angry in the group games and how we played against Slovakia, and yes, we have been lucky with our draw.
I'm just saying that something has happened under Southgate that I haven't seen in my lifetime, whether that is inspite of him or because of him is debatable, but I've seen other England teams, other "golden generations" that have severely disappointed in a way the teams under Southgate haven't. The players seem to like him and there seems to be a culture and resilience in this team. Look at England's penalty shoot out record under Southgate compared under other England managers.
I'm not saying the man is a tactical genius or that he should even remain manager, I'm just saying some part of England's recent successes has to be accredited to the culture he has helped create around this team.
Of course Spain had the more difficult run, but have they been made to look better than they are?
I wouldn't say they beat a classic Germany or French side....albeit still very decent.
I think England will be their biggest test given the resilience, experience of the players and coach,etc.
Could be a close one
Why does jim tell us wher he is every two sentences ffs
The Spanish subs would beat England
England has 8 subs capable of knocking the spanish out
The English subs will beat englands first eleven
Good thing football is played on paper then⊠yamal will destroy trippier and spains midfield 3 is elite. Gonna be near impossible all depends on Garethâs lineup
Who exactly gets into that Spain team??
I'd normally say Walker, but he has been absolutely terrible this tournament, so that no longer applies. Foden is probably the only one that gets in, he'd suit Spain's style perfectly and he has natural chemistry with Rodri.
Only Foden and maybe Kobee
@@imouto4hire foden isnât getting into that Spain teamđ
@@Tibor860 Foden amazing for City but they have Pedri and Dani Olmo
@@joshd171294dani olmo over Phil fodenđđđđđđ heâs had 3 good games and wasnât even first choice in his position
I dont know what it is about Crook maybe his arrogance but cant stick him
England are defo stronger than Spain. It'll be a great game and we'll see what happens wont we
@@mattyd5932 yep
This Crook and Jordan have been utterly disgusting. This type of journalism is squarely to blame for extra pressure that have destabilised the team for decades. Itâs not objective criticism is criticism to get attention. Itâs bottom feeding tabloid journalism. Funny for them, money for them but they are traitors to the country.
Well said!
It depends if Spain allow us to have possession. And even if they do we will find it incredibly difficult to break them down.
Stronger line up but weaker team and only plan A. This was proven by the way they "handled" the Dutch in the 2nd half.
I really hope they interview this bloke if they lost against Spain
The presenter has been brilliant all the way through. Really got a feel for the extent and duration of the tournament. Thanks. Ps can I go to the next one with you to be the shouty bloke down the pub itâs coming home Eng er land ten a penny pundit alongside you? Mfor- money for old rope. Itâs gonna be tough but we are hopeful. There is the other song: Heâs taking it home. Rodriâs taking it home. How on earth do we neutralise him ?
Combined 11 for the final
Im struggling to include 2 English players đ€Łđ€Ł
Alex Crook definition of an obnoxious England fan.
Truly hope Spain beats England in the final as they have had by far faced the hardest teams in the Euros as opposed to Englands route.
First World Cup crook remembers is 1994. Suddenly I feel old.
Crooky is on drugs
I just hope that the two teams treat the fans to a festival of football rather than a turgid bore-festđđ
England has scrapped through this competition. I think he is the only pundit on all platforms to say such nonsense.
LOL, Crook again with his delusional English bull. I think Spain has better players, first of all technically but also tactically. I doubt that any current England player would get into the Spain starting 11, maybe Bellingham and Kane - but not on the poor form they demonstrate in this Euro.
It's just an opinion which is no less valid than yours is.
It's a football match and it should be evenly contested like alot of games at this tournament has been .
94 is the first world cup he can remember?
Come Sunday night Kanes trophy count will still be zero
This is sadly true. Kane will curse the team once again. There is no chance that Kane's first ever trophy will be the European Championship.
@@imouto4hire remember when we nearly signed him? Terrifying
Spain 4.
England 1.
I like the dream , lets hope its come true on Sunday đŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż
Alex crook might have the best job of all time
Irrelevant. England had a stronger line up to Slovenia, Denmark đ©đ° and drew . Had a stronger lineup than Slovakia and nearly lost . Had a stronger line up v Switzerland and went to pens. So not sure what alex point is đ€·ââïž
There's no real outstanding team in this tournament, it'll be the best from an average bunch of teams who'll be the winners. They'll take the win anyway.đđ
Totally agree, Spain best to watch, keep on about England have only beaten......
Germany, Italy, Portugal, Belgium France aren't powerhouse football nations of old. Would you watch them as a club side.
It will be a tough game but close
80-20 england will lose.
England should not have been in this final, we are going to watch a final that has a dark side thanks to a referee and the VAR who decided this European Championship on their own will than the match itself. they should be banned from football for their lives because what they did to the Dutch with that penalty was a death blow to footballâœ
If there is any justice in this world then Spain will win on Sunday. But that's not how life works. England have a chance.
Granted, Spain has a better team. But I actually believe England has better players.
Maybe he should re-watch the games up until now. England also have some top talent, but he is a just a little bit biased. As predicted though, when you play players in the right position you get better individual performances.
The toxic positivity in the media is a thing to be hold.
England wouldâve been out long time ago if their in the other side of the bracket loll.Lucky hype job team
La Spagna Ăš piu forte tecnicamente e a vinto tutte le partite. Merita di essere campioni. Secondo me, la Spagna vincera almeno 2-0 đ
Here goes England again. Lol. Hyping beyond the reality and will act like their galĂĄcticos are failures when they rightfully lose. đ
The level of delusion
Not delusion itâs fact, apart from rodri who gets in the England team over a current England player
@@Secret19977 lol.
Southgate is a goat I trust him â€đ
Aye. Lets watch England get the ball of Spain. 1st proper team since they played since France in WC. Football needs a Spain win otherwise were destined for anti football for decades.
Nice that Simon wasn't there with his negativity
he states facts most of the time lol instead of this waffle from crook
this is killing jim white
Crooky ainât a clue if he thinks are line ups stronger than Spainâs
It is though
Football came home 2 years ago FYI đ
On quality we should win
Crooked Crook is stealing a living
Tar and feather Crook and Jordan
Talksport really has been terrible over the Euros. Same old discussions
Is anyoneâs opinion less respected than âCrookyâ?
Jim is an English hater man. We are sorry Scotland are shyte, itâs not our fault donât hate us for winning even when weâve played badly. True champions find ways to win.
Flip flop crooky come on mate credit where credits due big man
What on Earth does he base this statement on đ€Ą
3-1 Spain i think
club before country?...
Only way England winning is going up a goal and defending đ đđź
That's Southgate's plan against everyone though. Even Luxembourg or San Marino.
Spain won back to back Euro
Spain will win no doubts
England does have a stronger squad than Spain. Absolutely.
delusional you must be a man utd fan
England are rated higher than Spain by FIFA, and their squad costs almost twice that of Spain. This information is freely available on the Fifa website and Transfermarkt website. They might be delusional and a Man U fan but that doesn't mean they're wrong.
@@keletsosebolai414 Even people in Spain are saying England have a better squad. Spain's quality drops
dramatically on the Bench. And Morata isn't even as good as Ollie Watkins
Where's all those clowns that said we weren't going to win the Euros laughđ
You do realise we haven't actually won it yet?
@@imouto4hire we will we will thrash Spain the same way we thrashed Netherlands we have the best squad and depth it's unreal
The clowns are celebrating before the final since 66 đ€Łđ€Łđ„
@@jlhus5615 yeah your still the clowns
@@sohailhussain9662 We got cheated Spain should of had a red card for the challenge on Rice and their second goal was offside
Alex is wrong
Talksport bots are so sensitive to any criticism of their overweight bearded bluffer đđ
Itâs hilarious and embarrassing watching these fair weather, fickle, goldfish memory, predictable pundits like ACrook try and spin and backtrack their way out of all the previous negativity spouted.
Spain will win 100%
England will win 1-0.
I want to smoke same stuff Alex crooks
theres the old arrogance
