Thanks guys, now I can safely put my money on Spain.
i wouldn't do that, if i was you i would put money on England. they will fluke this someway somehow.

True, everything they say ends up being wrong.
😂😆
Juls spends weeks bagging England at every opportunity, now theyre in the final he's wearing an England shirt. He's the type of frenchman that wouldve moved to Vichy in the 1940's.
😂
Jules and Gab are both shills for the Anglo-Centric vision of football. They are a bit like those "BAME" Tory party members who espouse the most repugnant ideas while using their skin colour as alibi.
😉
Lol @vichy. Surrendering asturds
He’s speaking facts. England do not have a manager.
Soiuthgate may not be a great technical and strategic manager, but his man management skills are off the charts. This, along with England players’ individual skills is what has got them to the Final.
Don’t forget that in football there is something called that also counts sometimes, it’s not always skill. He must be the lucky coach to win and that’s what counts after all.
Agreed
That's it: he understood that England's players, regardless of the "names", can't play the sort of football Spain, Argentina or the most skilled, cohesive teams would deploy. And tailored his team accordingly, to exploit individual talent. Yet the PL fanboys give him slack for not making his team play like Guardiola's.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@idrissagouba962 No.He has the players to be as exciting and better than Spain. Yet we are producing this turgid football with no fluidity or style
INDIVIDULS have come up with a moment of brilliance despite the mananager holding them back and crippling them.
I love how people comment like England haven’t got the most expensive team in the world - Spain have just as much to worry about as England
😂😂😂 maguire price
@@CristianjesusVacabalcaza-bg6uc he's not in the current team though....
It's the English tax, Premier League inflation if you like. Everyone knows Premier League clubs all have money (including other Premier League clubs funnily enough) so prices get jacked up. Especially as all clubs have to have a minimum contingent of home grown players meaning half decent players go for good player money and good players go for top class to World class player prices.
@@darthwiizius Explain the bundesliga tax put on Bellingham?
Spain have been great and have beaten top teams. England have been poor and scraped by against mediocre teams.
I agree against my better judgement that Kane starts. See where it goes, but if he is playing as he has been take him off early NOT for the love of God with 10 mins to go....
If England can keep the spanish out for 45 mins England will grow into the game. Based on first 45 mins versus Holland they will have to replicate that for last parts of the game. They have the players and bench to cause spain problems. Mainoo a terrier will sit on rodry
Spain scores in the first half
the first 45 mins was pure koemanball, the players have no will to pressing. I dont think spain will play like that
Unfortunately Spain is not the Netherlands.
@@markwillson2491 You ain’t keepin us out. The ref is your best hope. The Germans had 8 yellow cards and no reds. If that game were in any other country multiple red cards for Germany
Mainoo did kind of overplay Rodri in that FA Cup final so that is a good sign. Conversely, Rodri could be looking to exact revenge. However, the rest of the game will be in Spains favor. Netherlands sat back and invited England pressure in the 1st half. Spain has not sat back the whole tourney, now they have well rested players they’re going to sit back?? Lamine Yamal will feast on Englands left side with either Luke Shaw or Trippier there. Danny Olmo and Nico Williams will shred that shaky England defense. Not a contest Spain 3-1.
Spain is the favorite and should finish the work within 90 mins. If they don't, England then becomes the favorite in extra time or penalty kicks.
The England subs qualities are better than Spain and has changed the course every time they come on the field.
But I don't think England will get the chance as no team has stopped Spain in 90 mins.
Germany didnlol and should be in the final If it weren't for the biggest robbery in recent football that hand ball on Cuccurella
I was happy to get Holland. They were scared of England. Imagine if we had gotten Turkey; that would have been a nasty game
Turkey? They are 4 places below Scotland in the FIFA rankings. LOL!
I’m not sure if this is a media thing to get viewers in the final. England from a talent stand point are world class. So is France, but they had an underwhelming tournament into the match with Spain. The same with England except England has looked worse. If Spain doesn’t choke, they win. It’s as simple as that. Too much speed, especially in the middle and too much possession. England can win if luck stays with them which can absolutely happen. Comical to me though that you have these analysts acting like England hit a switch when the second half was horrid from both teams until the 90th minute.
Good post, mate.
Is there anything to suggest that players like Mainoo, Palmer he didn't play the first games as he was easing them in and preserving his weapons. Not showing his cards too early. It makes sense
Spain and Spanish media/fans are worried about England 100%. Especially Real Madrid fans with Bellingham. Spain know they will control the ball, but have seen how England have "moment" players that can do something even when England are playing poorly. It will come down to if England can keep Spain out.
Spain haven't controlled the ball much in this tournament, they are having their lowest share of possession since the 2008 Euros... which they won handsomely. In fact this change of style has been key to their resurgence, I wonder if people are even watching the games when they say things such as "Spain will control the ball".
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia Control the ball doesn't just mean holding possession. It means overrunning the opposition with attacks. Spain have overrun teams many times on the wings with constant pressure, chances and crosses. They created 20 chances against Italy with 9 on target. Italy didn't touch the ball all game in Spain's half.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia If you think Spain have been sitting off teams and letting them have the ball then you haven't been watching the games. That was France's tactic. Spain flooded teams on the wings with constant pressure.
@@sensibility1174😂😂😂😂
The bitterness in the comments tho, I love it. Imagine if they nick it against the odds?? Lemon’o’clock 🍋🍋
Got to agree with Julien, I said in April to my son that Mainoo has to be first on the sheet - he has that one thing we so need, time on the ball no matter how much pressure is on him. It spreads to the other players. We've looked so much better since he arrived...remember when Southgate was saying they hadn't replaced Philips 🤦♂ Anyway, he's in there now and hopefully will be for the next decade
I'm quite pleased we never replaced Philips, I prefer good players and not players that go into tackles like they think they're playing for Leeds in the 70s. The Mancs must build their midfield around Mainoo, he's their one true star player at this time and with all the time in the World in front of him, they'll not find that type of player playing that role at that standard at the age in the transfer market, not for any transfer fee. In the next World cup the centre of midfield will be settled, it'll be Declan and Kobbie, and I'd put those two used to playing together against any midfield partnership on Earth. It has the look of becoming the best midfield partnership England have ever produced. Rice a bit more defensive, Mainoo a bit more progressive, it's seems a perfect balance. Now, fingers crossed Jude has a couple of stinker seasons at Real so we can rob them blind again and stick him in front of Rice.
Special player
Give Kane 55 minutes and then put Watkins or Tony in
Other way around. Start Watkins then sub on Kane and Toney. Better for penalties as well.
Football cup finals aren't about who is the better team.
I once went to a cup final for my team against a team 3 leagues lower than us.
They took us to penalties.
Man united beat man City in the fa cup final.
England will win on Sunday. The name is on the cup.
That’s the point, it is not always about skills or strength, there is unfortunately something called luck!
You can't just guarantee that though. England barely won all their games by the skin of their (you know) so saying that they will win is just laughable. Spain isn't just sitting on the other side like 'oh yeah, let's let England win this one"
Spain had the harder bracket meaning theyve been under intense pressure throughout the tournament
That very true and not just about luck. It's about who's more well coordinate and more well cohesive.
lol All I need to say is this: Trippier/Shaw vs Lamal. This is a GLARING problem for England. England can put every single CM they have on their team and would still not get the ball off of Rodri and Ruiz. I was worried about Kyle Walker, but Nico will pin him back. Saka is my only concern on this entire team with his pace and movement against Cucurella but we have Grimaldo on the bench already and MAYBE depending on which one shows up, Foden. England has almost gone out to teams who only made it as far as they did because they were on the easiest side of the draw and Spain has had to go through essentially all the best teams and the strongest team in the competition. I am calm for this final. Lets just hope the ref doesn't give any phantom PKs in the final.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡☝🏽
@@thesaintst1851 lol Keep talking, this is what you guys always do and than you choke. 😄🫶🏼
You only see Saka perform in the first half of games, as he then disappears.
🙄😑
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Spain, really talented, and they are rightly the Favs. Its up to England to turn up, to challenge and take the game to Spain. May the best team win!
They are in the final of course they can win it.
If England wins the best team of the tournament didn’t win. That being said I don’t think either side will take the other lightly.
The best team very rarely wins these tournaments.
Well, you can only decide on that once they’ve actually played Spain and if they do happen to win, then you base it off that performance. I think Germany were very unlucky not to have beat in Spain and they definitely should have had a penalty. France were definitely not at their best and mbappe was missing opportunities that he would normally bury.
@@intenzityd3181 mhm the best team won 1998 France, 2002 Brazil, 2008 Spain, 2010 Spain , 2012Spain , 2014Germany , 2018 France, Italy and argentina where the best teams on the last 2 Tournaments as well...
To think Henderson was going to be at the Euros n play ahead of Mainoo. Also Mainoo had Rodri in his pocket in the final against City
No mainno didnt own rodri is the best cdm mainno is a child 1 good game for the kid yall hyping him rodri will own england am a england fan by the way😂😂
@@Zacksolos2007 it didn’t take you long. You’ve been bantered and yes this proves Mainoo can compete against the best. What other player do England have to go against Rodri
The disrespect to Spain is wild. They’ve won every game within 90 minutes. They beat France without 3 starters FFS.. Now you have a guy who looks like the poster child for Diabetes saying England
England beat Holland, 3rd in their group.
They beat Germany in extra time… and held on for the 1-1 draw to get it to extra time, where Germany had numerous opportunities to win. Fulkrug missed chance after chance or Spain would be home. France beat France, playing negative football. Spain beat an Italian team with no #9, and a well below average midfield. I think that you think too highly of Spain.
Come back after the match..
@@Dbo_Sports All I read is blah blah blah. Both teams are in the final, Spain has look better than England obviously, lets just see who wins on Sunday. Its anyone's game.
@@Dbo_Sports Until England manage to beat Italy in a tournament - not simply qualifiers and friendlies - you can't dismiss Spain's positive results against Italy this lightly. Spain's run has been much harder than England's, how can one even deny that?
Spain ist the best Team of the tounament, and i think Germany was the 2nd strongest.
So i think Spain will win 2:0 well deserved...
Why is Jules wearing an England shirt 😂
Because even though he’s not a fan of Southgate he’s a fan of the team and even before the start of the tournament he did pick England to win the competition.
Spain are the better TEAM , if not the better individuals, and so should win.
Better team ?
Yes
Better squad ?
No
Spain is vega. England is Cammy. Spain wins!
1966 they cheated their way to winning and this time cheated their way to final again.
The biggest advantage for England is their deep bench. They can sub in 4-5 players who are as good as their starters
England are full of winners - they will win regardless of style of play!
Lol winners.... when was the last time England won anything? lol
Mate can u even read - I said they were a team full of winners - look at the line up and who they play for and the trophies won!
@@Amir-n6hChampions’s league and league winners. So yes full of winners
Yeah but…. Outside of Bellingham, Siaka, and maybe foden this year, none of them are top 3-4 players on their teams. Their teams won cause they spend money for the best players across the world, not cause British players are any better than the other big European nations.
@@danielmarrello8999 Best players in 2023-4: Bundesliga= Kane, La Liga=Bellingham, Premier League= Foden. So what you said is demonstrably false. Wanna try again?
The question is: 4:0 or 3:1 !?
With the right referee, who will give a penalty and not give a penalty to the rivals, yes, unfortunately!
Jules banking on England your bbc 5 live dust up with Guillem Balagué hasn't got anything to do with it? 😂 loved that 😂
Spain is strong
England cannot continue to count on luck. Since the knock out they have been lucky with poor sides. Sunday will be a real test and I don't think they will be able to stand that test
I nearly choked on my sweetcorn when jules related england to stoke city.
Im not sure if that was a funnier than Gabs forest gumps analogy of deschamps
I agree at 7:35 that Southgate should have seen Mainoo's ability long before he was forced to change his formation.
Having said that, I think England are gonna win the final. Feel like something unbelievable is happening
I believe too.
We will find a way against spain.
I can visualise the open top bus parading with the trophy
Ya ....by buying the refs...
@@2rep693😂😂😂
Never heard anything about draws unless its england 😂
I can't believe Van der Ven haven't played instead of DeVrij. I would play Frimpong instead of Dumfries aswell.

The cup is cool with the favourite Spain.
Vamos España.
.if Spain wins, it would be a Historic Lake, not only for beating all the world champions in a Tournament...if not...for being...
Champio League champions, Champio Woman champions, and World champion woman champions.....Soccer would only be spoken in Spanish, both in women and men...+Argentina.
You mean Football.
Wombmen play sucker, men play football
That's england away kit is 🔥 this years is 🔥 also.
100% agree!
England national team deserves the best version of any opponent. My full admiration and respect for all what England has done in this tournament.
the overhype already is crazy, this is why england is still living off of 1966
HOLD THAT
"Did Foden hit the post...'!? asks the analyst/pundit of the semi final he is commenting on!! No loss to mensa
It’s good to see an England team that has some actual mental toughness to fight to the very last minute
I mean, by now, England havs established a trend. They can play bad but still win. I dont kn9w how I would feel about that as a Spaniot.
If Southgate wins Sunday hes not average. Yes he has great players but someitmes that's more difficult because ypu gotta get them working well together and remive egos.
This was an issue in past teams. A great manager brings them together. Southgate has done that
States every reason why England will lose.
Conclusion: England wins
Terrible audio
Why Spain was lucky
The Italians knocked the ball into their own goal therefore spain won 1-0 ( no skill)
Germany played far better than Spain but Germany was unlucky.
Def England for the win!!
😂😂😂👉🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
You're Playing dirty like your team, how many red cards has Spain collected now?? Disgraceful!! How many more red cards will spain get when they play England (if you can't beat England cheat)
Smh Substance over quality
Palmer & Watkins to start
I think that picking the team who's played the worse and narrowly beat significantly less tough opposition based on "they're further from their ceiling" and "they'll find a way" is some major self gaslighting
As a United fan, Mainoo continues to impress me as every game goes by. By far my favorite player
England are like Real Madrid. They have got the players to deliver the individual moments even if they play awful football for 90% of the game. Spain should be very aware of it. One change should be made, Gallagher for foden might make a massive difference.
This is the Foden who had one cleared off the line and who hit the post in the last game right?
what I see is that Spain playing like real madrid or prime sevilla too. Also Spain teams never lose in the final
@@dontbewoke Foden will not find joy as Spain will dominate possession unlike the Dutch and having Foden without the ball is like playing with 10 men. Gallagher ate up Rodri and city midfield every time he played against City and will do that again. Bring on the attackers in the 2nd half and switch the tempo
@@pemimpiradikall this is a totally different Spain team. None of the old mentality monsters are in the team. England have the right tools to make them struggle
@@noussommesparisiens6729 SPain have not dominated possession in this tournament like Spanish teams in the past.
Gallagher? He won't be playing...
The fact that they are in the final a miracle can happen. But if they are playing that kind of football the only stand 10% chance
Fact is that this England chance have a much better chance than Man U did against City, and no one gave man u a chance of winning.
Yes. They have the right personnel to beat a good Spanish team
Love England but fear Spain will do it.
I can’t believe this commentary.. this guy sweats lard and is dissin Spain..
Spain slapped their countries Italy and France to the final so obviously they gonna be bitter.
Is this a parody?
I'm slightly confused.🤔
Here for Kobbie
Spain face Italy Croatia Germany and France wow they deserve to win it all but that’s now how football works if England face any of those teams Spain beat England would be out a long time ago
Pride comes before the fall
Look this is not a sea Battle. England vs Spain
“A guy that didn’t even play regularly untill January” yeah gab maybe it’s because he was united for 3/4 months lol
I think England would have drawn or beaten a France, Portugal, Germany. They always raise their game against bigger opponents. Look back over past tournaments and you will see.
I think Spain is a bridge too far. But if England had the other big teams i feel they would have been ok
😂😂
If they are lucky they have a chance to beat Spain
& they have been lucky all tournament so far.
England will have to play at the top of their game to win. They haven’t reached that level so far and this Spanish team have been the stand team of the tournament. I can’t see past a Spain win.
i too like all didn't give Spain a chance to go through Germany at home and France with all its giants. The assertion that England "somehow" mange to beat every team despite their sub-standard coach by the brilliance of the players is a bit suspicious. Perhaps to please the larger audience. The obstacles they barely overcame were not much of an obstacle and they got by often with the ref. giving them a hand. Football is a team sport. We've not seen much of that from England-quite opposite of Spain. Football is like life-often unfair. And England may very well win it. But I just don't see how experts could logically pick England as the winner.
I told care how bad we have been. I’d like to see England win a trophy in my life time. So please just bring it home 🇬🇧
i'm not so sure Spain wins this final now, England have momentum and in a one off final they might just nick it. Flukegate will end up scamming his way to the trophy!
Yup they scammed their way to another final struggling against Slovaks and Slovenia .
@@clarencegaultieri8293 I mean Portugal 2016 drew all 3 of their group games and ended up coming third in the group
@@clarencegaultieri8293 But they’ve got better each time and they played some outstanding football against Holland in the first half. I don’t know how closely you follow football, but it’s happened numerous occasions where team start very badly on the international stage and then go onto the entire tournament.
@@Espeothey are lucky they didn't meet lamine yamal
Cant wait
England will need ref helped to win against Spain like they did against Holland
So bitter
Heart broken 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Germany should’ve had a penalty against Spain. It was a blatant hand ball. We completely outperformed you in the semifinal and that’s coming from unbiased international footballing journalists, and ex footballers.
England beat Holland on all the stat's. Hit the bar, off the line, 60 per cent possession
@@AndrewHindley It’s coming home coming home empty handed English run out of luck and gift from Referee
Let Spain 🇪🇸 think about us England win on pens
The mystery behind England is resolved when you consider that they have Palmer mainoo pretty much every time consistently playing good football, the others playing scatty football
As has been shown throughout the epl season, these players have so many limitations, and aren't accustomed to creating solutions in negotiating their way past opposition...
The mainoo situation is down to clubs not going down the route of getting the most successful players in their geographical area. Instead we have a gobbledygook footballing culture.... there's nothing to stop England having 7 mainoos or Palmers, just clubs are utterly dysfunctional getting in players like kalvin Phillips, woeful.
England has speed and experience (Saka, Kane, Foden, Jude), and Spain has talent and some experience (Rodri, Yamal, Nico). Spain beat Germany and France so they could beat England. England 2-1.
Did you just put Kane and speed in the same sentence?
@@intenzityd3181he also put experience with Yamal and Nico..
Germany played better in Spain and they should’ve had a penalty. France completely under performed and mbappe was missing chances he would normally score. If England play like they did in the first half against Holland, they stand a very good chance.
@@intenzityd3181 You have a point. Kane does not have the speed of Foden, Jude, or Saka.
@@millforever France under performed this whole tournament (Yes, even Mpabbe has), so I dont know why y'all are acting so surprised when they did against Spain. Played better but still lose the game. Even if they got the penalty, it wasnt a guarantee. This tournament along the Copa America, we have seen so many missed penalties, it aint even funny. I do agree about England vs Holland tho.
England 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏴🏴🏴
I think another English failure in the final on Sunday😢
lets all hope its the Frenchman who is the Ref, for footballs sake.
I don’t like England but I can’t shake this eerie feeling that they will win this time.

The English have a chance if you look at two things: firstly, you have to look at how Germany played and put Spain in trouble, and secondly, you have to bribe the referee more than the Spanish do.
Kane curse plus this video definitely placing a bet on Spain 🏆🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
England hasn't played any team in the class of Spain, for Gab and his gang, suggesting that England will beat Spain, is actually based on what statistics, this will be a repeat of 2012 finals between Spain and Italy, just like they beat France in that competition, they did it again in the same stage in 24, semi finals, Spain wins hands down,
Southgate should have started the young prodigies from the start imo, but hes far too conservative.
Look at Juls sporting the England kit now. Welcome to the heartbreak, my friend.
Spoiler: No way.
England should start Jimmy Savile in midfield in order to contain the young black boys on Spain
I don't get why pple think England will win if it goes to penalties... Remember,... B'cos they won penalties vs Switzerland doesn't mean they'll do it again. Penalties can go either way. history doesn't always matter
Do these guys ever get anything right? Like i have never watch a logical episode from them. You are there talking about Englad having the better individuals but what will these individuals do when they rarely touch the ball.
England have massively underperformed but are getting better with each match as they work out a way to play together
Spain are rightfully favourites, but it’s not a home banker. England can win this match for certain, though if I was betting I’d put my money on Spain
England could be peaking at the right time....just like Germany or Italy used to do....start slow and win the whole thing. Spain are favourites of course but in one off games anyone can take it
A reasonable couple of responses. Spain still favourites for me, but not nearly as much as they would be had England not improved but still qualified.
No way, the should have lost already against The Netherlands.
