“There were no tactics” “Capello told Theo to stay out wide and he ran inside straight away” sounds like there were some tactics then and people didn’t bother to listen 😂😂

I feel like this conversation has been had about 1567 times with this crop of players.

10 English players started the 2008 Champions League Final, the same year England didn't even qualify for the Euros. Let that sink in for a moment

Joe Cole started reminiscing about JT then remembered he was sat next to Rio 🤣

The shame is the golden generation players get asked this all the time. I’d love to see the managers and FA get asked these questions more. Cos the failings were never down to the talent.

The image of Sven getting Becks to sign shirts is the perfect encapsulation of the "Golden Generation".

First video I've watched Jake, 100% subbed 👍

Great interview & very inspirational 👏👏👏

Never heard an England player take any responsibility for how they performed for England Only Ashley Cole performed at the same level for club and country

“We never got told what to do or nuffin” …. “Walcott got ghosted because he was told where to go and he didn’t “

I was about to say - just have Crouchy standing there. Thats good enough for boosting morale.

It's interesting to hear their views and it's revealing to some extent. The truth though is they were amazing at some things, but they were not technical players and couldn't keep it under pressure. These attributes were needed as the game fundamentally changed in their era.They were left behind. We have since changed how football is coached in this country and we are seeing the benefits - Grealish, Foden, Bellingham, Saka. These players are a product of new grass roots coaching and England has got closer to the cutting edge of the evolving game. Exciting.

There was no tactics. Then the next sentence is the wingers were told to stay wide and not come inside. The first 30 seconds of the session walcott comes inside. Take some responsibility. It was like they were surprised Capello was annoyed that a player didnt listen to him.

Ok I subbed

High Performance 🔋

4:44 when Cole mentions JT then realizes he's sitting next too Rio

The more I hear of Rio, the more I imagine that despite all his talent he was incredibly toxic in a team. He did well under the unquestionable Ferguson, he was lucky to have that

Imagine getting to world cup quarter finals and euro semi finals with no tactics 😅. Just shows how good these players were.

Interesting to know that England go into the WC with no tactics, its leave down individual strength within the game.

Crouch seems so nice haha.. no one liked capello apparently lol

I seem to remember the players bottling it when Terry was at a press conference he said something like and all the lads think the same don't you? And no one said anything.

Crouchy at the end 🤣🤣🤣

9:52 😂😂😂

Due all respect, Despite having the highest quality with their club tournaments, despite having a decent football culture and youth academies, despite having decent work ethic in sports, These English men need to come to terms with the fact that (upto this point) they just weren't good enough to win a world cup. As simple as that.

Peter crouch was happy! Joe Cole and Ferdinand on their day they were world class!

Crouch was smooth tho and he could score BANGERS!

This is all contradictory...Rio said there was no easy game...what about the games v Jamaica or San Marino? Joe cole said there was no pattern of play and players weren't told where to go...Rio 2 mins later says capello specifically told players to stay out wide. This is just mediocre players blaming the manager for their own faults

Love crouchy

I hate these conversations of the golden generation. It’s almost as if: France, Italy, Brazil, Spain and Germany just had bang average teams in comparison. Brazil alone at one point had: Ronaldinho, ronaldo, kaka, Adriano, Cafu, roberto Carlos etc no one in the golden generation even touches these players levels. Then there’s the Spanish era from 08-12 pretty sure they never lost an international game in that whole period 2x euros and 1x World Cup, madness! Englands ‘golden’ generation just was never good enough regardless of managers. End of.

When watching the golden generation England team, everything looked like such hard work. World Class players always looked as if they were struggling even against easy teams like Rio said but with this current England team, they have easy games all the time and they're definitely not as good as the England teams between about 2003-2010. It's togetherness and tactics.

The team was crying out for players like Carrick, Xavi alonso, scholes...... It had no-one controlling the tempo.... Lampard & gerrard were basically number 10s for their clubs.... They weren't natural at controlling matches from deep.

1:36 The fact that he implies that because England "didn't lift a trophy" indicates that something "wasn't right" says everything about England's sporting mentality. Reaching a tournament semi final should be seen as is an achievement

I don't dispute Capello did badly with England, and that his methods did not translate. But to suggest a Champions League winning manager with more League Titles to his name than Jose Mourinho simply did not have any tactics at all is obviously nonsense.

Mad they’ve filmed this in purgatory

Ashley Cole. He was World class.

Whoever was in charge of appointing these England managers needs sacking, such poor choices for years.

To be fair to Capello, I doubt Alex Ferguson would take kindly to a few players coming in trying to give him advice

Love u Jake. Idol.

Cappello was a donkey in that competition

As I always suspected

Were playing ok under potter just needed a goalscorer, one game created 20+ goalscoring chances, shoulda stuck with potter he was sorting it

Crouchys goal to game ratio for England. No one better

Well now your hearing it 1568 times 😅

2:38 Rio says "we relied on individuals" Basically that's every national team, right? None of them play together very often. I love the world cup but it's certainly not the champions league in terms of team play

Spain won the World Cup and the euros and at that time Barcelona and Real absolutely despised each other like ramos, xabi alonso, pique and casillas

I wish they didn't cut out the juiciest bits

Cappello means 'hat' in Italian. And they still hired him.

‘We had no tactics’ - English football in a nutshell

Basically, we’ve never had a a top class manager (in my lifetime) and during the golden period we had awful managers. Gareth likeable but would be dreadful in the premier league, even now with more experience.

I wish we could have this without Jake bloody Humphrey

Did Crouch smoke a cigar before this?

Tbf to Capello if you say a hundred times “stay wide” and the first thing Walcott does is come inside I think any manager would go absolutely mad at him for being so stupid

“No fear”, “No regrets”. What’s the one word in both of those? “No”. Do you think the Brazilian’s philosophy is negative?

I just think England fans have a higher expectation for their teams and players than they should. There is a level of overhype. The truth is majority of the best players in the world are not English decade after decade. I think it’s because the premier league is the best league in the world but that’s because of its infrastructure, the high level of competition every week. They won in 1966 against a German team 21 years after world 2, there was so much behind that game pushing England to win, the whole World was cheering them on. It’s a different story now, other countries dislike England because they perceive them as arrogant.

Golden generation was 1966 tbh

You all slate Southgate but do you see the difference between the current crop? He gets more right than virtually evety manager before.

The irony that the golden generations peak was 2008. A tournament they actually could have won yet never even qualified for

Who is JT???

Look most of the reasons given ,poor management ,press coverage ,formations ,are all valid ,and certainly played a part in the golden generations failure. But by far,England's biggest problem was the lack of quality gks and quality lms. Greece had a better gk for 04 than England had for 02-14

There is only one answer why they failed to win a trophy - they weren't good enough. Simple as that.

I’m Scottish and can’t understand why English sides haven’t done better than they have over the last 2 or 3 decades. England had , and have, the talent , much like all of the UK, but the lack of Man management behind the scenes is shocking. IMO the best manager England have had over the last 30years was easily EL Tel. That team played like the could. I hated getting beat by them at euro 96 but felt alright about it as they were a proper team. It’s a shame the players are let down by those that should be leading.

I don’t want to hear from the players on this anymore-ask the same questions to the managers at the time

Don't think we will get very far in this world cup tbh

Sven and capello were the wrong fit.

They suck without foreign players

These players should be ashmed themselves Not to get fumed with those floppy managers theyve had

For years the reason England and its so called golden generation never got to the later stages of a tournament was because as good as the individual players were in the sides, they simply couldnt retain possession over sides such as the Portugal, Croatia, Germany etc who proved to be their downfall. Without dominanting possession this led to England sides making stupid mistakes and being unreliable. This was true of England sides under Erikson, Capello, Hodgson etc. They tend to focus on Capello here....unlike the other England managers Capello had at least proven himself and won top honours in club football but he was outdated for modern football by the time he took the England role and it was a big misjudgement by the FA to appoint him. The ignorance with the Golden Generation is to forget just how strong Brazil, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Germany all were in that decade of 00 - 10. Even if England had been firing with good form (they were close to it in 04), they still would have had a job on beating the tougher teams in a must win knock out game.

There's umpteen reasons why England didn't perform better than they did. 1) The players were good but they were never as good as their most ardent supporters thought. There hasn't been a genuine world's best player from anywhere in the UK in my lifetime. Teams can win without them but they help. 2) Other teams were never as bad as some of the media and fans would make out. I've seen many teams written off pre-game and that's never a good look. It puts neutrals against you, it heaps expectation (rather than confidence) on players and it creates a negative atmosphere. When things don't immediately fall for you then that bravado shows itself as being fairly brittle. At its worst, you see a team like Iceland score and the team then go completely into their shell as though they weren't up for a contest and expected to just cruise through in second gear. This isn't a winning mentality. It's one of entitlement. 3) Tactically, they have often seemed one-dimensional and even more so when they had a recognised talent who overshadowed others.. Other countries sometimes go on these long periods of playing the same way, using the same group, building coherence and team spirit. England seem to have tended to just throw players in and hope it works. At times, the football they've played (I'm remembering a team that played with Beckham and Crouch where they got tired and just started launching it up top) has been horrible to watch. 4) The media (and some fans) are addicted to the emotional rollercoaster and hype every minor event up to maximum effect. There's not a lot of maturity or realism and that doesn't seem the most conducive environment to build team spirit in. The fans and media would switch in the current flavour of the month into the team at any point and players tend to be treated either as heroes or zeroes. There's a sensationalism in it all where, whatever the reality, the line taken has to be more extreme to gather a reaction. It's mostly media-driven and was at its worst about twenty years ago. If any manager wants a team that acts like the Germany team of old and keeps its head in the pressure moments then they'd need to insulate the squad against all that ridiculous hype (the positive and the negative). 5) Club football rules our game and club football is mostly propped up by foreign players, coaches and owners. As a result, many fans tend to make a false equivalence between the Premier League and England, ignoring the fact that at club level there is actual detailed coaching between players with a developed understanding, and the best of them are rarely English. That's just in one league. Admittedly, it's a very strong international league nowadays but go back years and look across the top leagues and how many players from other nations were represented versus how many English players (which is less of an issue now). English players have tended to be drawn from one league, playing one style, all in one media bubble and largely defined by inter-club rivalries. 6) Style of play. England have never varied the speed they play at. They play at one speed until they tire. They tend not to have a Xavi or Pirlo who sits deep and knows when to play fast or hold the ball. Instead, it's all just quick one twos down the sides and repeat. This can work. You can overpower teams quickly. If it doesn't though you are doing this for 90mins plus with no alternative, not much creativity really and it can be countered quite easily when you inevitably tire. There's not much composure in their play at all. If England could add one player it would be a deep-lying playmaker rather than filling their midfield with box to box types and tacklers. This might be somewhat down to what fans expect too. They want blood and fury and a hundred miles an hour but most teams vary their style. This was far more apparent decades ago than now as the European leagues are all somewhat homogenised now but it's still baked in somewhere. Put them in a pressure knockout game and you know they'll start at a hundred miles an hour, attack down the sides, and no midfielder will have more than 2 seconds on the ball. Either they'll run over a team or they won't and struggle later on. 7) England have no divine right to win tournaments. There have always been better squads out there. There have always been better individual talents. There have always been teams that play a more attractive style of football. There have always been teams with better records. There have always been better managers. There have always been teams with better team spirit. England are usually (in my lifetime) a top 10 international side and fairly consistent with that. That's not really a failure unless you think they are better than that (and, if so, why?). As it happens, they are stronger now than previously but there are still better sides out there, whether on paper or (where it matters) when it comes to actually playing football in tournaments. That's okay. It's the same for every other country on Earth bar one at any particular time. Until you actually start winning then there is no point in expecting it. It serves no positive purpose. That doesn't mean being defeatist. It's just a call for some realism and respect of the opposition. Without that, no-one deserves to win anything. Real confidence feels no urge to express itself because it's felt internally, not needing external agreement. That insularity mixed with jingoism (in a sporting sense) was far more apparent decades ago than now but you still hear it in places and in enough numbers that it makes neutrals just shake their heads at it all. You'd need to somehow insulate a team from that as it's absolutely cancerous to team spirit and acts as motivation to opponents. Accept the above, hope for the best, actually support rather than castigate, and England could win a tournament soon. I wouldn't make them favourites for the upcoming Euros but they could certainly win it. So, too, could....well, anyone in it really....but, more likely, France, Portugal, Spain, and all the usual suspects, with England in there too. But until such time as England become a team that steps up in the big moments rather than shrinks from them then they don't really deserve to be treating winning tournaments as something owed to them as they have nothing to back it up. Better to be low-key and let others take that mantle as there's nothing to be gained in that bravado and risking being obnoxious and plenty to be lost. As a nation, England are world-beaters at hype and the country loves the game but they ought to try flying under the radar sometime and seeing how it goes. They might just relax and perform better. But the media wouldn't want that. Measured pragmatism doesn't sell and sensationalism does. If they put less into hyping it all they'd probably get more out of it.

The team wasn't good enough. End of story.

No blame on themselves….obviously

02:18 I recently thought about that aswell and I came to the conlusion that - apart from the fact that most players of the so called "golden generation" were kinda overrated - they basically lacked the mentality to react to pressure. Most of the times the players in prem clubs who made the difference were foreigners. Tactically you had to explain everything to them but they can't really think for themselves in moments of pressure.

Picking Walcott in 2006 was so dumb.

I would pick Rio over Maguire for this World Cup

How many millions did Capello trouser an the players are saying we had no tactics. 😂 Unbelievable. Anyone of these players could stand up an be that next manager a manager who puts things right an lifts a trophy. Even now people say Southgate has no tactics. Maybe no matter how many times you tell players your tactics if you lose they say you did not have any 😂

Reality was...England's best era wasnt better then spain or france simple.

Why did the FA hire dinosaur capello?

Big players for Englands domestic league. But during that World cup they were not even winning against Algeria and USA. In the next round they needed to play Germany, one of the big teams and obviously they did get hammered.

So many players have said how awful Capello was as a person and a manager. No tactics was very clear watching them as well

The team with lampard Rooney cole Ferdinand Beckham Terry Gerrard I feel that team should have won a world cup or at the very least a euros 🤦🤦

Englands midfield was always shocking back then.

Let's keep it a buck 50! International football has BEEN bin🚮🚮 since 2002 Korea fifa World Cup

Problem is England’s media overrates their own national team

The midfield looked alright on paper…Gerrard, Cole, Lampard, Beckham. But it NEVER delivered

No tactics, absolute rubbish… rubbish excuses… Capello Asks Walcott to say wide so Walcott come inside ? Do as he asks and he won’t scream at you…. Simple…

Not surprised at all Joe Cole stuttering, shock horror

These guys were just not good enough. As simple as that

🥱

These lads were super poor at the highest level of football and that is fact. Every single England manager tried to implement a tactic of play with England, and the fact of the matter is the players weren’t intelligent enough to apply them. Do u really believe world class managers like Sven and Capello will send a team out without a way of playing?

It's never easily cause u never had a foreigner pulling the string. When will england fan realised we never really had world class player it's only we English fan thiught that. No team ever feared england

So basically you were given simple instructions by your coach and you couldn’t follow them. And you say tactics were the issue? 😂

Capello era was shite Although i respect roy hodgson His era was shite too Y the fa went on with those choices? All those years gone for nothing to england That is obsured It should have been harry redknapp All along Now england have got gareth southgate a decent manager to the job

Trouser tribulations

Capello is a legendary coach who has won with Milan Juventus Roma Real Madrid, and Serie A was the most tactically advanced league in the world. So I doubt Capello’s tactics were the problem. It’s because the previous generation of England players had no tactical brains because that’s not how they were brought up playing. They can be stars in their clubs because they get to play with foreign players.

Video editor needs sacking

No tactics under 7 different managers one being Fabio C who was a tactical guru? I sense lies, lads. Rio literally just said Fabio said "stay out on the wings" that's clear tactics. The issue is they were arrogant players divided by club loyalty. Moaned and rebelled because Fabio banned mobiles and made them all dine together? Or Sven stopped club players sitting together and to all sit together, banning wags? How did Greece win the Euros but England didn't? The players! 😂 🤦🏻‍♂️

They were simply not good enough

Sven and Capello were god-awful tactical managers awfully awful 😖 Theo over Bent 😂😂😂
