Spain Beats England 2-1 To Win 2024 Euro Championship 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Jul 14, 2024 9:19 pm

Spain defeated England 2-1 to win their record fourth European Championship title.

Spain dominated possession in the first half but were unable to capitalize with a goal and lost Rodri to injury at halftime, but they scored in the 47th minute when Nico Williams converted a perfect pass across the penalty box from Lamine Yamal.

Spain looked set to play keep away from England and let time run out, but Cole Palmer scored in the 73rd minute following a build up from Bukyao Saka and Jude Bellingham. England had all the momentum as the match appeared destined for extra time at the very least, but an initially innocuous looking attack from Spain became a goal for Mikel Oyarzabal as he scored off a Marc Cucurella cross. Oyarzabal was on side by the knee of John Stones in front of him.

England has lost each of the past two Euro finals and hasn\'t won a major championship in nearly 60 years since the 1966 World Cup. England will host the 2028 Euro.

Well deserved win for Spain. England's captain Harry Kane had no idea what he is doing on the pitch, not to mention most of the other good players too. Really easy team to criticize, but gonna give credit when credit is due - they played well enough to be on the final and woke up for the most of the 2nd half as well. The comments that Southgate is doing a good job, cuz England is well accomplished under him is crazy. The only reason England had any success is the crazy young raw talent they have, on paper they are a better team compared to Spain and most of the others, but sadly they don't have the right coach to put that together and make them a winning team. The football England are playing is night and day difference compared to a well coached team like Spain thats playing beautiful team football, playing together and playing with joy.
