same here .. best football podcast

Yeah, it’s great, sums up what you’ve been thinking overnight, plus these guys give you great insight’s without geeking out. Good laugh too.

they should carry on even if it's once a month or every so often

same

Do you know they’ve been doing this every few days for like a year? This isn’t just for the euros

Great idea, also world derbies.

Great idea but think needed here for long old season, imagine these 3 not being on our tv 😢

@@robertsampson3772 that would be a sad day.

Top Gear but footy 👀

Good idea that

You could see the pair of them getting ready to hammer him halfway through the question! 😂

Ahh I did feel sorry for him haha to a different pair of players would have been a great question but you're talking to 2 of England's greatest ever strikers and they let him know that aswell

😂🤣

Micah is a useless pundit. I've no idea why he keeps getting hired.

Gary has too. His early work was very dry, but he was obviously in training as he got better.

I really like him on this pod because he doesn't have to filter himself, he can be the sweary Geordie we all know him to be. It's much better than the BBC filtered version of himself

@@chockablock34839 He's not a pundit.

@@gaskellr44 In his TV work I mean.

Ah, ok.

Prem coming back soon.

@@broken1394 I know but I am #MUFC supporter 😂🥲

i go to the gym.try it. these just spout the same old waffle

me too ..

Tbh I felt like that when we stopped having 3 games a day. Like what I am supposed to do with my evenings now?

Spot on ! Helped me carry on with the euros after us germans goin out. Wish u guys luck in the final . Hope to see happy folks when goin through heathrow this tuesday

@@ringrun9872 very kind comment 👍

@@ringrun9872top man! Thank you mate, shame Germany aren’t still in, we could have had a classic England Vs Germany final.

Agreed.

@@OfficalFaz it was close against spain. That possible PEN and minutes later the goal in the 120th minute ... that was some hard shit hitting the fan right there.

He's a bit of a late bloomer, he's played a fair bit in Croatia of all places!! He is class!! 👍👍👍

He's a great player. I'm more worried about that triangle of Rodri, Luis and Olmo than anything else Spain have to offer tbh. They stay pretty close and outpass the opposition. Everyone's worried about the wingers but I think that midfield is lethal, Rice V Olmo...

Yeah he's a baller surely a big club HAS to enquire about him, but honestly, we need to hope Trippier can deal with Lamal

He's been quite injury prone which I think has put people off

He is very injury prone, or he would have been at a bigger club already

Great banter.

Bookies put huge pressure on Spain as big odds on faves & the 3 🦁 love it. As underdogs they will play free like brave strong lions hunting spanish prey. I'm happy to win 1-0 with a late winner from worldy pass by Trent to Jude in the 90th minute & then hold on for dear life in the final 3 minutes of added time. But of it ends 2-2 AET & 3 🦁 win 5-4 on pens, that's fine too.

Hope not you finished 4th

Yeah, Unai Emery has been exceptional for him. Bloody brilliant for the lad.

How about that Watkins goal though

@@silewis9396 beautiful goal. I can't say otherwise.. haha

Wheyyyyyy

Unlucky this time my friend. The Dutch are great fans, great nation and great footballers.

My favourite lady is Dutch ( Floor Jansen) so I have a soft spot for the Dutch. We got lucky with the pen but we rarely get the rub of the green so we’ll take it.

Couldn’t watch the games on twitter? “England Stream”

Michael bridges on Optus (Aus broadcaster) is soooo baaadd … reminds me of the dark days when he used to do all the premiership league stuff. Amateur hour. He wouldn’t get a look in, in the uk but Aus tv is poor.

Get BBC sounds app plus a vpn then you can listen to bbc five live when football is on

I completely agree. Defender impeded the follow through 100%

100% agree. Getting a bit fed up with English people and pundits basically apologising for us getting a penalty we deserved to get (and had the Netherlands got the penalty, they'd be moaning about it even more I imagine). It was a foul, obvious to anyone who knows the fact that the rules of football aren't still the same as the 80s. I've really enjoyed this podcast, it's just been a touch spoiled by this on the last two episodes. The comment that "Kane followed through causing the contact" is just so off the mark. Go watch the highlights for the VAR incident and watch the movement of both players. Dumfries' foot is _still moving forward_ when he makes contact with Kane, and the connection occurs just a few frames after the ball is struck, with both players feet still both in motion - crucially, Dumfries is still moving towards Kane. He's not just "stood there , blocking the ball". He's attacking the ball, with his _studs up,_ but HE MISSED THE BALL AND KICKS KANE. It's irrelevant that Kane was also kicking, he strikes the ball. Dumfries missed the ball and was LATE. It's so clearly a foul, I've got no clue why anyone, particularly "experts", think otherwise. The fact is, the ref had all the time in the world to review it and thought it clear enough that he was willing to reverse his original decision. It was a penalty and it was deserved.

For me its the facts he go studs up, that for me is the dangerous bit, if he had been trying to kick the ball it might be different.

@@StealthBoyElite I agree it wasn't a penalty but don't mind the difference of opinion, can't agree it has been spoiled in any way. I appreciate the honest opinion

@@silewis9396 it's just the way the shine is taken away from the win. It's deserved but with this "luck" caveat. England won without needing luck.

Seedorf even said mainoo reminds him of himself, big stamp of approval

You just reeled off 3 of my favourite players of all time. I’m clearly showing my age. But yes, I agree.

I think Kobbie will be the difference in the final. I’m Welsh but want to see England win, the country needs some joy, and this team are super likeable. Pob lwc I ti gyd, good luck to you all.

Are you kidding!! The lad has a long way to go!!!

He’s made a pretty decent start! Seedorf is a cracking pundit too, the Beeb need to get him back on!

Amazing. Love how they all ran to him.

I'd love to see him and Giroud have a race, it'd be like racing washing machines

LOL.

​@@dandylion1987genuinely think Giroud is faster which is crazy

He has a bit of a belly on his abdomen. He's like a balding, chubby 40 year old uncle who just has a sublime shot and clever

Kane runs like he’s wearing Timberland boots

Now do before 2008 🤣😂 and it's interesting you don't weigh the opposition. Southgate gets easier draws.

@@intenzityd3181 Well, in fairness, if we do before 2008 then it only gets worse.

@@intenzityd3181 Let's weigh up the opposition then... 2010: 0-0 vs Algeria. 1-0 vs Slovenia. 1-1 USA. 1-4 Germany. You are welcome to continue! Please go back in time too. Maybe look at how we did in the 1970's. :)

Indeed. Feelings not matching evidence is hardly a new human experience or unique to sport. There's also the tendency for people to worry and moan about things in equal amounts whatever their situation. The only things that change are the things that people worry and moan about. Hence, "we don't go deep into tournaments" has become "We're not great to watch" or "we should be much better than this with the players we've got."

You can give Southgate credit without ignoring the extremely obvious flaws he has. If they go on a win this tournament he deserves a lot of credit, that doesn't mean he's not much more than an average coach.

Same when Liverpool won it in 2005. Luis Garcia's goal didn't cross the line in the semi.

Well spotted

This is said on every single video… bore off

​@@StephenCarrIsBald your a happy chappy aren't you 😂

​@@martyjago8636He's right though. A lot of videos with the same kind of comment.

Did you notice Roy Keane's book on the shelf @@StephenCarrIsBald

You can't argue with the stats but I'm still no Southgate fan. But football as a whole is boring now. So maybe my issue isn't with Southgate but with the state of football in general.

Nice for a Bristol City fan to say that about Kobbie

@@kaliban2747 Surely its Hull City

@@dalegrant9282 Lincoln?

As would an attacking 4-4-2, with crosses fired in from the wing

​@@jakeforder9435 Spain would dominate the ball if we played 442. Need at least 3 players in there, preferably the box 4 in the last match

@@randomdaveUK I was being sarcastic

Y'all already forgotten Ivan Toney

Giannais playing at olympics??

If that foul on Kane happened at pitch level, studs showing, no way would anyone say that’s not a penalty. It was. But because it’s in the air it’s different? Why?

Yeh, baffling that so many pundits are so certain it wasn't a penalty. The ref got to look at it as much as he needed and decided it was a foul based on the rules of the game, meaning he was so certain he felt it was enough to _reverse_ his original decision. It's _clearly_ a foul. Not up for debate. This kind of foul is given all the time, all over the pitch; he's late, he didn't get the ball before Kane did, contact was made AND his studs were showing! How is that "never a foul"? The concept that "Kane's follow through is the reason for contact" is nonsense. Dumfries put his boot up. If he doesn't, there's no connection. It's not like Kane kicked him on his standing foot, is it? Kane struck the ball, not showing studs, got there first and has a right to do this without someone shoving their studs up in the way of his strike. The reason this irritates me so much is it takes shine off of England's win, which was 100% deserved, _including the penalty._ Keane's argument was even worse. He even conceded that it would be a foul outside of the area but not in and his argument is the outcome (penalty, not free kick, stakes are "too high"). Utter nonsense. Dumfries took a risk and failed. His punishment was a penalty that Kane still had to put away for it to count anyway. Well deserved goal.

Exactly, he didn’t try block it putting foot sideways his boot was studs up and he lunged it toward Kane

​@StealthBoyElite The stakes are irrelevant. Roy is just someone who thinks being happy for England makes him less Irish. As an Irish man I am supporting England all the way and have done my whole life. Glad that Ian Wright correctly said it was a penalty.

"Digging"

Exactly. Foot was studs up and high.

Legendary commentary m8,still listen to it "SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE!"

Exactly! It was a great goal from Watkins, but there’s levels

Well he has one game to score 4 goals lol. Your logic is bad, kane is literally playing awful atm

Kane is looking leggy and slow, Watkins gets in behind defences, I think Spain would rather have Kane upfront for England than watkins

Possibly not but they’ve seen Kane as a starter all tournament

Of course Kane is the top scorer in the euros he has played nearly all the minutes 😂 we’ll never know how many Toney or Watkins could have when they’ve had about 30 mins between them

Completely different job from club management.

Kane is top scorer at the tournament

If a radio is in a wood but no one can see it, does it make a sound?

​@@jimb9063It's half 9 in the morning and you have me thinking about quantum mechanics

Come on England!

It's coming home!

If we win, I think it’ll have to be a sneaky 1-0

Come on england 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Not taking away from Watkins but I feel like the reason it worked so well is because of how different he plays to kane. So after 80 mins of conditioning their defence to play a certain way marking kane. The formation drastically changed with Palmer and Watkins and it opened them right up creating an opportunity that Watkins had the talent to capitalise on perfectly. I don't think it would work as well for a full 90 mins. These late substitutions are working wonders imo.

Do you think it would possibly work better against Spain? They were cut open quite a few times on the counter in their games running behind their lines and keeping them pinned back might disrupt them more. If Kane keeps dropping into midfield and no one up front then it’s just inviting Spain to run rings around us.

@@01bigtrev I feel like you have to adapt to the way they are playing. Although you can't be too defensive otherwise the assault is just relentless like we saw in Spain's match against Georgia. They sat back and they were having to fend them off every couple of mins. It's definitely going to be a tough game. I just hope they can settle the game down and prevent Spain getting an early goal. Then maybe they can make something happen from there. I wonder if we'll keep the 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 formation we used against the Netherlands. It did help us push up the field in the first half.

These two are on a different level to the rest of the team with their movement off the ball and ability to recieve and pass in tight spaces.

Some people will never be happy…

@@wrfootball3847 not reading all that mate!

@@GIBBO4182 ah was meant for the other guy actually. Whoops!

@@matt94alexander32 ​ in a way yes, but England had terrible luck in past. Also I don't buy this England entitlement of winning against those other teams just because of superstars. They still have to play well and get on together with no tribalism (something they had in past). Also tournaments have a lot of randomness to them and don't care about history or rankings. It's all about a POINT IN TIME. Would I have wanted England to be in a group with Saudi and Moroco last world cup? Before maybe yes, but in hindsight no thanks! Proves all games are difficult and nobody has a devine right. Those lesser teams are just as dangerous as they come as with huge will to win and are often underestimated, making them basically just as difficult. It's not just England who have struggled at tournaments with those teams, others too. It's all about on the day and although superstars can give an edge it still ain't bloody easy at all

Couldn't agree more, we need a switch up. We've been very lucky, but have to give credit where due seems like the squad are playing more like a team now and confidence and morale is up. Hoping we put up a fight in the final but regardless of the outcome I still think Southgate should go.

Couldn’t agree more, that’s a foul everywhere else on the pitch so it’s a penalty

@@stevestibbons1789 I've no doubt any defender would have done the same in an attempt to block the shot (bearing in mind the ball was high too) but that's the letter of the law. If you 'interpret' it, it needs to be rewritten.

Going by the rules it was a penalty. Complain about the rule.

I'll take three former players opinion on this one

@@101cheekie shows how conditioned you are. i prefer logic and Laws of the game over being a sycophant

Irrespective of that we would have won in extra time I’m certain.

Double English handball in the situation right before the penalty. So if VAR steps in they should look at that first. I don’t know how they missed that.
