Meditate 3 🦁 boys. Be focussed/energetic/brave like our T20 boys who were bashed but got fit & caught 🔥 - Hunt like Mentally Strong Lion's who never get frazzled & flustered & never ever give up. (Watch em hunt on youtube & be inspired, 1 Lion v/s 10 wild dogs, no fear, he will tear em apart.) A 3-0 win on Tuesday ignites the victory charge by the 3 Lion's 🦁 just like that brave win v/s Rattin & co in 1966 when England were wobbling. Keep meditating & praying fans. Cuz thats how Argentina ended 36 yrs of hurt. (No bad karma making drunken fights. No bad karma weed & drugs & unhealthy sex). Make good karma by being good. E.g. Be nice to kids & animals. Tell mum & dad u love ❤️ em. Remember the WW2 fallen braves. Your Parents made a lot of sacrifices to raise you. The fallen brave gave their todays for your tomorrow's. They wud be no Euro24 ot Workd zcuo if the national socialists (NaZi) had won. In the words of brave Churchill. "We will Never surrender." You wear 3 Lion's on your shirts cuz 🦁 are the bravestest of the brave. They hunt & fight until they win & never surrender. Visualise victory after meditations & prayers. Its coming home & 58 years of hurt will end. Cmon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Is this comment racist 😂

One of the strongest player I've seen

even i got his jersey now, and i am german.

He’s so charismatic. Has to be the captain when Kane retires.

Yeah at least he's not a serial killer too. Let's set a very low bar and then these mugs can't fail to exceed our expectations. Ffs.

@@LordHighnessWhat on Earth are you talking about? Not exactly setting a “low bar” when Rice has been one of the best midfielders in the league in the past season and was a mainstay of the team that took England to its first ever European championship final. People don’t half chat some nonsense.

Lol all false words. Empty words no action. They are trained to talk sh*te, to make you believe

@@LordHighness he's definitely not setting a low bar

England have four points from two games and have practically guaranteed their place in the knockouts in second gear. They’ve been a long range worldy away from playing it absolutely perfectly. Do people actually want them to run themselves into the ground now, rather than keep plenty in the tank for the knockouts?

The players need to be more confident. Im really hoping it will come

@@rogerioceni2640 yes, give us something to believe in instead of the sheit we are being treated to. They are world class players, why do we need to keep anything in the tank at all. They should be able to put up massive performances every match rather than this bs we see. Also, stop being so sympathetic to them, its embarrassing

Cold weather Willy 😂😂 we’ve all been there…cold rainy night in Stoke…embarrassment in the changing room. This is small Willy heritage

@@rogerioceni2640 yes, keep plenty in the tank for a final like against Italy, where we did exactly the same thing after scoring first, or for a semi final like against Croatia where we also did exactly the same thing. Evidently, it has absolutely nothing to do with saving energy for the latter stages and everything to do with Southgate's mindset. These players don't do it for their clubs, so it has to be coming from the manager. If we play the same way after we score as we do before we score, we'd be winning games by 2, 3, 4.

This interview was pure fluff.

@@LordHighness watch the whole thing, lots of strong opinions in 2nd half

@@RockNRollersnsell out to who? If you’re on about Irish blood he’s English and you’re only trying to claim him because he’s good

We wish the boys and the manager the best It just seems to be clear Southgate isn't good enough, but the players are class enough to win despite of that, but they deserve a good coach.

@@RockNRollersnur sound like a mug

If he’s such an amazing player then accepting criticism should be manageable. They love the praise from the media when it goes well

@@Gino565mate, the 23/24 season was his reply to the 100m price tag critics. It’s literally never been mentioned again, he always does his talking on the field, this interview he’s defending the whole national team as he’s one of the senior players in the dressing room despite being only 25

💯

Exactly, spot on.

Do a straight line to Berlin! Inspire the boys

Yeah I'd struggle too being a multi millionaire. Truth of the matter is, they're overated. Rice is a classic example of that.

But all teams face the same or similar pressure - why is the English mentality always weaker?

Couldn't have said it better myself!

So you think they're struggling to run on the pitch and make a proper effort because of "pReSsUrE"? There's always been pressure and expectation on England at interntaional tournaments. But now players are snowflakes who can't take a bit of pressure? Please just shut up.

I hear you mate i really do but everyones backwards 😂 we dont have any forward passes because everyone wants to be central to be more defensive and compact and wingers aren't making runs just overlaps

There’s no one to pass forward to, and who is at fault for that i wonder😂

No one to pass to. It’s a collective thing, not down to one player.

Who would poor Declan pass to when everyone is backward and 20 yards from each other? The Opponents.

It'll be transparency to the people who are overwhelmingly doubting

Interviews are part of the job

Need to come out and apologize for being shit.. PR tactics typical

Southgate: "But...but....Kalvin Phillips..."

Delusional Declan.. They can win it, yes, but own the performance.. Woke..

Ok Joe Bassett

Or else what? You'll booo?

Or else ppl will stop buying their shit, shirts and there's brand will be damaged

Speak for yourself...there's no excuse for players having stroppy teenage fits, lack of effort, bravery and enthusiasm. Stop blaming Southgate it's embarrassing. British fans, media and pundits are embarrassing. Look at Scotland fans 100% true fans.

​@@robertp2577 Absolutely delusional if you think Gareth Southgate isn't the problem you have a top scorer in bundesliga Kane, player of the year in Foden ? Saka Bellingham Palmer Eze Bowen Watkins and your manager has them playing like Sheffield United

Im not mad at anyone but its the players who arent confident. They were absolutely awful last game and nothing to do with the manager

@@thabisosamsam6779 your delusional....all those players you've mentioned and rest of England team week in and week out play with technically gifted foreign players. England players or together are poor and technically collectively inept. Like it or not Southgate is England's most successful manager in game ratio to tournament success. This is England team is poor compared to James, Neville, Cole, Sol Campbell, Rio, Beckham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Owen...and this team won nothing so how is the current team going to win anything...stop embarrassing yourself and speak facts.

@@thabisosamsam6779What’s the problem? England are going through (again - fourth consecutive qualification to the knockouts of a major tournament for the first time EVER). It’s almost like Southgate knows how to navigate a group stage.

Then he can criticise future players after failing himself

@@adamphillip5305 As long as he does so honestly, without any sensationalist bandwagon jumping nonsense then go for it.

@@adamphillip5305 the bitterness 😂😂 cheer up buttercup

He said they’re not fit enough to play high pressing football for 90-120 minutes seven times over four weeks because literally no team is or could be without PEDs. Rice was asked if the team was fit enough to play their gameplan, which is obviously a completely different question as their gameplan is to switch between high pressing and low block football depending on the match situation which, in reality, is what every “pressing team” does anyway.

it was the manner of those results. They were the two poorest performances of the entire tournament. Probably don't deserve more than 1 point from those two games

People are criticising the tactics, performance, effort etc. Not the result.

It is true. Whilst the performances haven't been overwhelming by any stretch of the imagination, England are top of their group, and they're still bombarded with criticism every day

I never trust a person who can't even spell "lose" correctly.

100% agree with you...trolling fans, pundits and media have been disgraceful and disrespectful. England are top of the group and not lost. They could play next game the best they ever played, playing higher up the pitch and attacking attractive fast football and still loose.

It’s a results business love.

@@CMJames we drew against a team whose best player isnt even in the man utd first choice team, love.

Tournament football haven't lost and one win and everyone will sing it's coming home. Haven't played the best the plan is to win it anyway possible.. back them win or lose

If any of you English fellas ever thought you were going to play beautiful football all of a sudden you need to wake up😂 just play to your strengths and stick to what works … would be your best chance at winning

Declan rice we got him half price

Apart from Scotland’s first game, right? Otherwise you’re just being disingenuous. Or didn’t watch it!

Oh my god shut up

@@Vilutusk That's like saying Chelsea wasn't bad because Sheff Utd were worse

@@adamphillip5305 No,, its pointing out the inaccuracy of the guys post.

​@@Vilutusk Scotland might have performed worse, but they showed ten times the heart and all their games have been entertaining.

they cant. It doesnt matter what formation or tactics they employ, the players simply arent good enough and are hugely over-rated. They are technically inferior to the other nations.

@@streetspirit956 The first 30 minutes will give us an idea of how England will perform in the finals.

@@streetspirit956 brain dead take

@@danfr444 your the one thats brain dead if you cant see it for yourself. Englands technical inferiority to the other nations has been apparant for decades and never gets addressed. I suspect GS may well change tactics/formation on the back of all the criticism but I can 100% guarantee that as soon as England play a good team in a knockout round they will lose as this is how it ends every major tournament.

@@streetspirit956 bro is out here saying Jude Bellingham isn't good enough, Harry Kane isn't good enough, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, I could go on and on and on. On paper we have an absolutely incredible team, everyone knows it. Compare our team to Denmark or Serbia we should be comfortably beating them. We have probably the best defenses in the tournament, no one can get the ball into the box against us at the moment. The midfield players just need to perform better and with a bit more energy about them, thats it. Maybe a few tactical tweaks as well but to suggest our players aren't good enough individually is just absolutely ridiculous. It's like saying Germany isn't good enough individually, its just mad

He’s probably laughing because football illiterate people misunderstood his words and/or have twisted them. England are not fit enough to play high intensity pressing for 7 matches (four of which are potentially 120 minute matches) over a month because literally no team in world football is. And that’s not just stamina, that’s preventing muscle injuries. Anyone with a grain of common sense can understand why England are not playing a high press for a full 90 minutes of group matches when it’s not that important to do so. The current Euros format pretty much guarantees you qualification to the knockouts with a single win, so it makes absolutely no sense to go full throttle in the group games. We’re already through (barring an absolute freak set of results) with a match to spare while playing in second gear and basically treating the group stage as another three warm-up games before the serious stuff starts. The negativity is crazy.

@@rogerioceni2640 ive actually been saying this to people because i cant believe weve actually been this bad on purpose. But it doesn’t really make sense as a strategy when you have such a huge squad, and when you KNOW full well what the reaction will be, which is awful for morale. 1st 2nd and 3rd in the group also makes a huge difference with what opponent you get. So it isnt really a very logical or normal thing to do. Are the other big nations doing it?

@@rogerioceni2640England fans are some of the dumbest people you will ever encounter

​@@rogerioceni2640Spain don't seem to be struggling to do it.

Harry Kane is hardly one to talk about failure in a career.

@@Wut3225 Are you one to talk about failure in a career? or maybe life?

@paulsmyth3580 England ain’t plays semi final

I'm sorry but I can't think of one who is past their sell by date at all....If anything, the new era are the ones who are terrible! They don't tell it how it is, they make stupid comments to paper over stuff....Especially those on ITV!!!

Pundits who can see and know when a team is playing sh#t! 🤷‍♂️🤯

Spot on, England should not be playing a low block in the first place especially so against these lesser teams in the group stage. No wonder the players don’t know what they are doing as they all play for teams that play a high press on the front foot, if your going to play a low block style then Southgate might as well pick players that play for the relegation battlers as they will be used to that style.

It is an essential part of any professional sportsman's toolbox

That’s not how football works, mate. Also bizarre that people think England has the best squad when we have a decent but not world class goalkeeper, no fit left back, one centre back with Champions League experience and one senior CM in the entire squad. We got arguably the best group of attackers and some other very good players but there’s way too many holes in the squad for it to be considered the best.

Germany has more scrutiny

Nah it only works with Calvin-Phillips…because he’s our saviour lol

@@moynulrahman7696 kalvin sitting at home with his mates: “told you bro England are nothing without me”😂

@@moynulrahman7696 😂

If only England had 11 Calvin Phillips's on the pitch, we'd be taking the trophy home easily! If we don't win the Euros it will all be because Calvin Phillips isn't in the squad. He's our Pele.

Fact is that England DID function very well as a unit with Kalvin Phillips on the field. He did the simple things well and linked play between defence and attack, which is specifically where England are struggling right now. Not the best player in the country but the right tool for the job.

Every player and team always play well in every game! Great performance from Belgium against Slovakia, Germany against Switzerland, Italy against Spain, Croatia against Spain and Albania, France against Austria and Netherlands, Denmark against Slovenia, Portugal against the Czech Republic etc. It’s unfortunate that we’re the only team that hasn’t played well every game 👀 Every team has problems to solve, some of the big teams haven’t played well in every game and have issues in certain positions. If we play well in the last group game and get the balance right with our press, we’re in as good a position and we’ve played no differently to any other team. Spain are the only team that have played well in every game so far.

english fans and the media have always been the issue. we think too much of ourselves and put too much pressure on the players and the manager. we all think we're experts too. look at the contradiction of trent. everyone requests southgate to play him in midfield, so he does just that, then everyone criticises it? couldn't make it up man. trent has been used as a scapegoat when he's created more chances than every other english player despite being subbed off twice. make it make sense.

​@@tomowen9412in your opinion having watched football and watched other teams in this tournament you are happy with the physical output of our team????

@@johnnyjohnson947 Outside of Kane (who looks like he is carrying a belly) I am happy with their output. But no happy with the tatics, reminds me of my team the last few years. COYI

@@del8boy I agree to an extent but its massively obvious when you watch so many teams close together that the output is not there, the manger is not telling them not to close down, win 2nd balls and mot challenge for headers

The defenders did to be fair. They were always ridiculously hard to break down.

They didn't criticize they gave an objective view on that particular game

It's thier job to analyze the game.

Well not one of these current pundits one anything for there country. Not one. Not a euro or world cup

This just shows how people are way too soft nowadays. Former footballers acting as pundits can’t even criticise the national team’s performances without being labelled negative or toxic. What has the world come to. Are they supposed to lie and pretend England were great to keep the players happy? What a joke

Is Southgate still on the pitch kicking the ball around?

@@wildsurfer12 He picks the team, formation, strategy, tactics, and should be reacting to what he sees on the pitch making real time changes.

​@@joseph1845 is it his fault when players make woeful passes and lose possession as well?

@@wildsurfer12It’s the players who play in high pressing clubs week in week out, who are deciding to sit back after scoring for England?

What problem? He’s yet again successfully navigating England through to the latter stages of a tournament.

Not really because if we keep playing like we have done then we'll be flying back home next. We're not spoilt just because we're not as shite as Scotland. That's a low bar. Look at the players we have!

@@LordHighness spoilt. Remember Steve Maclaren tenure? Spoilt
