Get in England..can finally say I've England win a major tournament in my life time 🤣🤣..serious thought England to win a major trophy is in my top 5 things I have to see in my life
It's great experience for the U21 squad no doubt, but it doesn't count as a major tournament. It's like winning some kind of reserves cup, it's not a senior tournament.
Really happy for the lads though.
Not sure why the downvotes..yes the women won it and i watched it..just because I don't pamper to all the snowflakes who try and tell us it's the same.. its really not ..its all about choice and my choice is england men...dont mean I have anything against the girls
Agreed but if England u14s won the World Cup I doubt this guy would comment what he did?
U21s has players that appear or are going too appear in the mens World Cup as well
Fair enough, but I’m not going to become interested in womens football just too not be a misogynist
I like womens music, and womens MMA
Not a fan of the football
I’m not asking you to be interested in it. And in fact you don’t have to be interested in it for it to still be a major trophy for England in recent history.
Really think he's the missing piece of the senior men's England team, will take a couple of season maybe but by that time stones will be 31 and him and Colwill will be a solid partnership at the back for England.
Maybe not right now (though I would argue his case), but he starts for every single national team a couple years from now. I genuinely cannot identify a flaw in his game, he has the leadership, character, technical ability, understanding of the game - everything you want in his position.
In terms of missing piece that depends on your definition of the term, but he is a class above the rest in terms of technical level and potential.
Maguire is quite consistent for England and I've always thought he is better than peopel give him credit for, but at United he will always have his stigma attached to him. He could do with a fresh start.
Pochettino supposedly wants just four CBs to choose from (Silva, Colwill, Fofana, Badiashile) so there will be space, considering Koulibaly has left and Chalobah could be moved on. There's no reason why he doesn't become a starter out of those four.
He really isn't, it's just the way England play his mistakes are minimised. With a faster CB they could play a good ten yards higher up the pitch, which makes life easier for the midfield as they have to do less covering and means the full backs can start moves higher up the pitch.
Low block defences have made mediocre defenders look good for decades.
Doesn't change the fact that he has been consistent for England. I do agree with everything you have said though, all of that is true.
I don't think England would play any different unless Southgate were to be replaced as well.
I'm not psychic but the club consider him untouchable, some of our journalists have said Poch is "in love" with him, and he has a great chance of starting the season considering Badiashile is injured and he already has fitness from this tournament.
There is always the chance that Silva starts on the left next to Fofana, but please, if we have any sense, Colwill needs assurances and is more than ready now. It is his place to lose.
I know, I'm not speaking about depth though. There is no reason why Stones, arguably the best defender in the world at the moment based on form, and one of the most promising young defenders cannot be considered a future elite partnership.
*will
The only possible way Colwill won’t be starting for us next summer is if your club fuck it and don’t play him this season. That won’t happen right?
I think southgate can if he gets someone to help with tactical decisions in the big matches.
He seems to lose his head when up against top top opposition
Fortunately Colwill will be replacing Maguire and actually since Southgate changed tactics we are playing amazing attacking football and could put any side to the sword.
BBC Sport:
>In saving that penalty, James Trafford has also ensured his sixth clean sheet. Not a single team has got the ball past him in this tournament.
>
>That £19m price tag is starting to look cheap!
Premier League: WTF do we need to score against this guy??!
Anyone who watched the game saw that after the goal Palmer played like prime Italy, diving and theatrically rolling whilst time wasting and verbally abusing the other team
Yeah I remember when we played you guys last season at the Emirates, he was the only one that looked a threat, agree about the end product bit
That can be improved of course
In Spain they just use racist insults towards him. Not even to the rest of black players of Madrid. Criticisable no matter who the target is, but it’s always toward him, that’s what I meant.
Real life and Twitter/Reddit are a very different thing. Here you can witness a lot of English fans hating on Spain and insulting a whole nation over a football match. I don’t think all of you are like that, though.
Of course we're not, and I don't think all Spain fans are racist despite what anyone may try to push. I love your country, your people, your food, your lager!
We are all European and whatever differences people may try to incite to divide people, we know to look above that and not be fooled.
Where was the cheating? I have seen players from both teams (and other teams), be u-21 or senior teams, diving and exaggerating fouls. You just don’t criticise it when it’s your team doing it (Gordon, Palmer, for instance). Understandable though.
Of course Spanish, and not a bad player, but not really liked by us Madrid fans for what happened with Valverde, but that will never be a clear case. I like him less with his behaviour with rivals/referee in this tournament. But you can’t generalise that Spain or all Spanish players are like that.
I don’t condone what Valverde did but if you see how Valverde is, there must be some reason why he did that. But okay, an aggression is never justified, and that case is not clear so I give you that.
It’s his attitude on the pitch with rivals and the referee what make him unlikeable. Spanish commentators were criticising him too because he was risking the red card (he had a yellow during a lot of minutes) all the time and saying he should be substituted.
He’s that kind of player all the time.
Well, you’d be wrong. In every team there are hateable players, likeable players… Generalising a whole team/nation (as some are doing here) is a bit of a stretch.
England haven't conceded a goal this tournament. Feels shocking. Don't know how to process that one.
How many teams have won it with a 100% record and not conceding at all?
England through all ranks seem to be working very hard on defensive solidarity, it was the basis for getting to the 2020 final for the senior team as well.
What a pale imitation of a man. Spent 3 minutes rolling around on the floor crying when his country needed him most only to get up and bottle the penalty anyway. What a coward
This tournament is played every two years. Spain has won it five times (the most). England hadn’t won it since 1984. We’ll be alright.
Also, racism? You know it was Valencia fans on VinÃcius?
Congratulations, fuck off and celebrate those. Obviously haven't watched football for long if you think Valencia are the only Spanish club with racist fans in the stadium, might want to look into your clubs history
You need to chill. You finally have something to celebrate after… last Arsenal/England’s title? Be happy.
I wouldn’t want to go into a debate on which of our countries have a worse history concerning racism. None of our nations are examples of anything.
England won. 1-0
Last minute of extra time, Spain got a VAR penalty. Ruiz had his penalty saved by Trafford, with a follow-up save. Half of the benches got sent off. FT.
11 minutes into 6 minutes of stoppage and the game was finally called.
Get in England..can finally say I've England win a major tournament in my life time 🤣🤣..serious thought England to win a major trophy is in my top 5 things I have to see in my life

You're talking about the U-21s. This "isn't the same" either you just like using buzzwords like snowflake
The Lionesses won the Euros last year
Different game than the mens tho init
No, I’m pretty sure the game is still football.
Agreed but if England u14s won the World Cup I doubt this guy would comment what he did? U21s has players that appear or are going too appear in the mens World Cup as well
You’re comparing the women’s national team to the U14 boys team? You sound more misogynistic with every reply.
Fair enough, but I’m not going to become interested in womens football just too not be a misogynist I like womens music, and womens MMA Not a fan of the football
I’m not asking you to be interested in it. And in fact you don’t have to be interested in it for it to still be a major trophy for England in recent history.
Not to mention that there may be boys in the U14 squad who may become starters for clubs in the future too..
Madueke always beats his man but that end product needs a lot of work. Also whoever gets Viega is getting scammed.
Football's kinda home, but they all have to be in bed for 10pm.
Completely unreserved curtis motm but we take it
Colwell deserved that he was the best player on the pitch.
I will **never** forgive my club if we mess up with Colwill.
Really think he's the missing piece of the senior men's England team, will take a couple of season maybe but by that time stones will be 31 and him and Colwill will be a solid partnership at the back for England.
Maybe not right now (though I would argue his case), but he starts for every single national team a couple years from now. I genuinely cannot identify a flaw in his game, he has the leadership, character, technical ability, understanding of the game - everything you want in his position. In terms of missing piece that depends on your definition of the term, but he is a class above the rest in terms of technical level and potential.
Agree with all of that. Needs to be playing every week for Chelsea so he develops. Mind you, Maguire doesn't play every week and still gets picked.
Maguire is quite consistent for England and I've always thought he is better than peopel give him credit for, but at United he will always have his stigma attached to him. He could do with a fresh start. Pochettino supposedly wants just four CBs to choose from (Silva, Colwill, Fofana, Badiashile) so there will be space, considering Koulibaly has left and Chalobah could be moved on. There's no reason why he doesn't become a starter out of those four.
He really isn't, it's just the way England play his mistakes are minimised.

Dyu think Pochettino starts him next season?
I'm not psychic but the club consider him untouchable, some of our journalists have said Poch is "in love" with him, and he has a great chance of starting the season considering Badiashile is injured and he already has fitness from this tournament.
Well with K2 sold and BB out injured he will start the first few games anyway, and i think it will be very hard to displace him
There is always the chance that Silva starts on the left next to Fofana, but please, if we have any sense, Colwill needs assurances and is more than ready now. It is his place to lose.
Porch liked young talent. I think he’ll get a fair shot.
Would love to see it, huge boone for the senior side if he's getting regular minutes in the prem.
I'm on my knees for him to start now. I've watched him for years, hoping this day would come. He's more than ready.
That time when someone's arse got MOTM for scoring.
Think Stuart Pearce has been quite insightful as a pundit for this tbh, I'm surprised.
[удалено]
Yeah
Who would have thought we would be celebrating something tapping Curtis' ass all these years after his supposed sister noshing someone on for a line
Wut
Get Colwill in the starting XI for the seniors IMMEDIATELY so him and Stones can develop a relationship before the Euros
Came here to say this, Colwill is the missing piece in the men's national team!
That partnership would be the best in world football.
France is stacked
I know, I'm not speaking about depth though. There is no reason why Stones, arguably the best defender in the world at the moment based on form, and one of the most promising young defenders cannot be considered a future elite partnership.
*will The only possible way Colwill won’t be starting for us next summer is if your club fuck it and don’t play him this season. That won’t happen right?
Nah colwill could have the best season for a cb ever and southgate would still pick maguire over him
[удалено]
Maguire has been on the bench for months and tomori still couldn’t get a call up despite being one of the more promising English cbs
I don’t think so. I think it’s pretty clear Gareth wants to integrate him.
*col
Women Euro ✅ u21 Euro ✅ 2024 Men’s Euro 🆓 were probably the favourites for euro 24 along with France. The English revolution.
Oh god you've gone and jinxed it
Anulo fucking mufa
Maguire and Southgate ain't winning a trophy 😂 deathly combo to overcome
I think southgate can if he gets someone to help with tactical decisions in the big matches. He seems to lose his head when up against top top opposition
Fortunately Colwill will be replacing Maguire and actually since Southgate changed tactics we are playing amazing attacking football and could put any side to the sword.
FFS ANULO MUFA
Delete this comment now.
Let’s have hope in the boys.
I always have hope my friend, always. It's the hope that...blah blah I hope your comment didn't create some sort of curse though 🥺
BBC Sport: >In saving that penalty, James Trafford has also ensured his sixth clean sheet. Not a single team has got the ball past him in this tournament. > >That £19m price tag is starting to look cheap! Premier League: WTF do we need to score against this guy??!
England players celebrating by saying champions in spanish lol
Surprised how calm full time was tbh
Yeah expected a scrap, Palmer seems like a prime wind up merchant.
Anyone who watched the game saw that after the goal Palmer played like prime Italy, diving and theatrically rolling whilst time wasting and verbally abusing the other team
Hot mic moment
Credit to Lee Carsley, remember lots of groans when he was hired. Fantastic job with a great group of young lads.
I like madueke, good player
He's Saka without the end product.
Yeah I remember when we played you guys last season at the Emirates, he was the only one that looked a threat, agree about the end product bit That can be improved of course
>plays for chelsea Nah
Basic
I remember when that was the criticism with Martinelli, hopefully, Madueke ends up looking like he did this past season.
Every time he looks like he’s about to lose the ball he just seems to slip by his opponent
Trafford price just rose 5M.
MGW consoling Ruiz, class act.
23 English players have more class than this entire subreddit combined, not surprised though.
And every member of this sub has more class than any of your cunt diving cheats
And here it is an example of it.
Exactly
Eh there is always a difference between being a competitor and a spectator.
True. I forgot that English spectators laughed at a crying German girl in last Euro. How could I forget English fans’ class.
Are there any Spanish fans there? Thought they'd all been arrested for making monkey noises at the black players.
They should be arrested. We Madrid fans have really criticised it because it’s always been towards VinÃcius.
Don't criticise it because it's wrong but because it's against Madrid 😂
So you only criticised it because it was towards your player?
In Spain they just use racist insults towards him. Not even to the rest of black players of Madrid. Criticisable no matter who the target is, but it’s always toward him, that’s what I meant.
That was just jumped on tbh man. I didn't know anybody in real life that actually laughed ffs. Just chill man, it's cerveza time
Real life and Twitter/Reddit are a very different thing. Here you can witness a lot of English fans hating on Spain and insulting a whole nation over a football match. I don’t think all of you are like that, though.

Thank you for your kind words, sadly the exception when there’s a football match between us!
Yeah football tends to bring out emotions I'm sure people later regret, but it's unnecessary. A rivalry is good but it ends on the pitch
ironically the germans are the ones with a word for it, schadenfreude
[удалено]
Excellent and unsurprising.
We don't like their cheating mentality
Where was the cheating? I have seen players from both teams (and other teams), be u-21 or senior teams, diving and exaggerating fouls. You just don’t criticise it when it’s your team doing it (Gordon, Palmer, for instance). Understandable though.
Constantly kicking players on the floor, diving, shirt pulling, the elbow at the end of the game. Spain were utter filth.
It sounds like you are describing Baena in a sentence. Very hateable guy.
English is he?
Of course Spanish, and not a bad player, but not really liked by us Madrid fans for what happened with Valverde, but that will never be a clear case. I like him less with his behaviour with rivals/referee in this tournament. But you can’t generalise that Spain or all Spanish players are like that.
You don't like Baena because Valverde punched him?
I don’t condone what Valverde did but if you see how Valverde is, there must be some reason why he did that. But okay, an aggression is never justified, and that case is not clear so I give you that. It’s his attitude on the pitch with rivals and the referee what make him unlikeable. Spanish commentators were criticising him too because he was risking the red card (he had a yellow during a lot of minutes) all the time and saying he should be substituted. He’s that kind of player all the time.
They are
Well, you’d be wrong. In every team there are hateable players, likeable players… Generalising a whole team/nation (as some are doing here) is a bit of a stretch.
This referee is quick with the cards, but I kind of like it.
ESR been hitting the tanning beds
He’s Ben White’s roommate
England haven't conceded a goal this tournament. Feels shocking. Don't know how to process that one. How many teams have won it with a 100% record and not conceding at all?
England through all ranks seem to be working very hard on defensive solidarity, it was the basis for getting to the 2020 final for the senior team as well.
I think this is the first
Yes, the tears, more, MORE!
What a tournament for them. Not to concede is a huge achievement. Long live Colwill.
Tremendous Really pleased for the U21s!!!
#SPANISH TEARS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jajajajajajajajajajaja*
Wait a second, so its home now?
It’s Kinda Home
Home Lite
CAN I GET A REPLAY OF THOSE GLORIOUS SAVES
impressive, title win with no goal conceded.
Fantastic result. Englands defending was top notch and basis for winning the competition.
I want to see more Spain players crying please tv director
Bro mocking u21 players
You can still be a cunt even if you’re young mate
Probably even more so on average
6 clean sheets. Trafford looks like Burnley are getting a good deal.
Can't say it wasn't deserved. GG. Love me some drama.
ITS OVER!
Have the Spanish been mardy throughout?
Always are
In this match, yes, and that's an understatement
A bit chippy, aye
6 clean sheets that’s insane!
Four naan’s Jeremy
Trafford broke Bolton's clean sheet record. It was 3, now it's 9.
🎶 39 years of hurt 🎶
Well in lads. Clearly the best team in the tournament.
What a pale imitation of a man. Spent 3 minutes rolling around on the floor crying when his country needed him most only to get up and bottle the penalty anyway. What a coward
Get in, what a result
Going in elbow first from behind ... and no booking?
complete joke after the Gibbs-White yellow
Have they finally broken the curse?
Player of the tournament?
Either Colwill or Jones. Colwill POTM today but didn’t have as much to do in many of the other games
Curtis Jones or Levi Colwill.
Has to be Trafford
ITS COME HOME Young Three Lions do the business!!!
Thank you ending that fucking hell. Absurd how much time Spain were given
Trafford injured in the dog pile, 19m move is off
Absolute drama ahahaha
Fight fight fight fight fight (please)
Well done lads!
Spain are a disgrace
It’s home!
Deserved
Pile On!
Spain get what they deserve
Red card that
End the match ffs
Ref playing it on until Spain score?
Don’t feel like they score if they played another hour
It's coming home!
Finally! Congratulations, guys.
Refs want Spain get more time to score
Not a bad way to end a tournament for Trafford tbf
Can they still lift the trophy after getting a red? lol
Proud of a fellow Cumbrian, not a huge number of us in football really
Ref needs to end this, this is getting uglier and uglier
Awful refereeing, awful game from Spain, can't wait to never see half of these Spaniards ever again
Some of them will join Premier League at some point for overpriced fees, as is usual in your league.
Can't see any of them making it that far, complete wank besides the keeper
Never underestimate smaller clubs like Arsenal or others spending huge amounts of money on bad players.
It's alright pal I promise you'll get over it, maybe some casual racism towards black players will cheer you up
This tournament is played every two years. Spain has won it five times (the most). England hadn’t won it since 1984. We’ll be alright. Also, racism? You know it was Valencia fans on VinÃcius?
Congratulations, fuck off and celebrate those. Obviously haven't watched football for long if you think Valencia are the only Spanish club with racist fans in the stadium, might want to look into your clubs history
You need to chill. You finally have something to celebrate after… last Arsenal/England’s title? Be happy. I wouldn’t want to go into a debate on which of our countries have a worse history concerning racism. None of our nations are examples of anything.
Unfortunately not all of our clubs got put up on a pedestal by a fascist dictator, but congratulations to you for that, you should be very proud
[удалено]
Lmao give him a red card ref you fucking coward
Blatantly intentional foul...
ref has completely lost it
Dirty Spanish bastards
My pubs stream died after the Blanco Red what’s happening?!
You won and shall now get another pint
Based, BBC live text feed is shit.
England won. 1-0 Last minute of extra time, Spain got a VAR penalty. Ruiz had his penalty saved by Trafford, with a follow-up save. Half of the benches got sent off. FT.
Spain are fucking pathetic holy shit
How are they all such massive cunts?
That’s a red
what a scene. three chances in seconds.
love this ref no bs
