When your team is 100 overall and have 0 chemistry

Easy, Brazil, Italy, France and Spain were also at their peak.

5 to 10 years later...there will be a video called 'Why Belgium's golden generation never won anything'

Kane and Sterling led England to Finals. At least they broke the 55 years old streak. They played well

If that generation was overrated then what do you call this "It's coming home" generation 😂😂

Carrick being dissed lol He's one of the most talented and versatile metronome in the heart of the midfield. Even the likes of Inesta, Xavi, Pirlo, Zidane etc. acknowledged his gameplay. Respect man

Michael Carrick was underrated because he was never the typical english/ premier league midfielder. He was calm composed solid in attack and defense. I don’t think England are ever gonna have a player like Carrick again he’s probably the only “Regista” England ever had. I mean you’ll find an attacking midfielder like Lampard, a box to box midfielder like Gerrard or Scholes in near future but never a deep lying playmaking defensive midfielder like Michael Carrick. If he was of some other nationality preferably Spanish or French..his story would’ve been very different. I still believe the reason why this “golden generation” underachieved was due to the fact that they always overlooked a player like Carrick who stabilises the entire midfield and defence( something which Busquets, Kanté, Casemiro, Fernandinho do for their teams).

Even Lampard says England should have played with Carrick - so much disrespect

Simple, There was never balance in the line up. The line up was more of who's more famous instead of who's better.

Put some respect on Michael Carrick's name. He's a legend.

Javier Hernández said playing alongside Carrick that he was one of the most underrated footballers ever and here you are disrespecting him. Smh 🤦‍♂️

Because they aren't in unity as they carried along with the feeling of their clubs' rivalry even in international matches.

Tottenham:We’ve never won anything. England:Hold my beer

Show some respect to Carrick, he literally won everything at Club Level. .

When your team spirit is 0 in pes

Because other teams had golden generations too.

Not gonna lie, but the 2000's were the golden generation of football

What wrong with Carrick, he's a manutd legend he's a world class midfielder. He control the game from a deep lying midfield position he can see passes and create chances only few can emulate. Ur channel should properly check the stature and achievement of the man.

Just look at spain, the spanish players are rivals for the total year, but when it come to national team, they play like Brothers

Its funny how whenever the talked about media it went on beckham

Commators voice tone sounded like Michael Carrick was trash when he was incredibly underrated Americans no nothing about this sport

Cause is an English team. If they aren’t good the media will still hype them.

Stop blaming 4-4-2. Simeone and Ranieri won league titles in the 2010s using 4-4-2. What you people don't seem to understand is that the decline of 4-4-2 since the mid-2000s is bad for football. In most cases, you don't get an attacking Barcelona-style 4-3-3 as a replacement, but a boring 4-2-3-1 leading to endless midfield battles and fewer goals.

Man, seeing this team underperform through the years was so heartbreaking due to the talent and charm that most of these guys had

back then in 2000s, Carrick for Man Utd is like Pirlo for AC Milan and Alonso for Liverpool. Man utd would never won that many trophy without Carrick as he was the one who stays in front of the back four and helps Scholes controlling the stability of the middle.

When You SELECT a TEAM By Their POPULAR and CELEBRITY STATUS not by LOGIC.

England has the complete squad as Milan from back on those days, the 4-4-2 should work for them the way Milan does: Midfield: Kaka-Pirlo-Gattuso-Seedorf Forward: Sheva-Crespo/Inzaghi The same does to England Midfield: Beckham-Gerrard-Lampard-Scholes Forward: Ronney-Owen The thing is the England football is never put a tactical programs into a whole different level and adjusted it to top level the way Italy do, just see how their clubs went into big stage for the last 20 years under non-england manager, Mourinho/Ancelotti/DiMatteo/Rafa/Etc come there and made a big difference. The another problem is yes they're kick and rush and they might explosive, but they're not as explosive as Brazil. And they didn't has someone like Zidane if they wanted to relay on one player. Chelsea on winning the 2012 CL considered a boring journey by many fans, but that's what tactics does for your team, you win titles. The same way how Liverpool play the 2019 final Vs Tottenham they weren't as explosive as their other matches they played but it was more about tactical and Klopp does the right thing to win that CL title. You just don't need a great defender to defending but you need a great defender who knows tactical and technical abilities to defend just like Maldini and Baresi. Cannavaro displayed this superiority of defending on the WC 2006.

Growing up watching EPL’s heroes in one Team(England) and seeing them lose Quarter finals again and again was just painful to watch.

How the hell could you say sth disrespectful on M.Carrick That's unbelievable and unacceptable

Other teams were better than them. Brazil Italy Spain France All had more legends than them

In 2002 I think was the best chance to England win a WC, but they played against Brazil with Cafu, R.Carlos, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, cmon man there's no win against that brazilian team in 2002.

I’m sorry but you forgot to mention there was no keeper for that generation

Forgot to mention that England didn’t made the euros in 2008

How can you disrespect carrick like that?

England: You know, we had the better team and the best players from the best league, a golden generation of superior players who were bound to win everything. The only reason why it failed is because the english players were individually soooooo good and soooooo much more talented that they couldn't get along and actually refused to play together as a football team, true story. All the while the mediocre players from the french and brazilians teams had no other choice than to play collectively, because that was the only way they could ever hope to beat the one and only true golden generation of football players. We were definitely the superior team despite not winning anything and being repeatedly beaten by the best teams of the era, there is no question about that. The World: Right.

They finally made the positioning normal. I can watch the video and read comments.😂😂😂

What's wrong with Carrick he's won everything with Man Utd..the guy made fun of him was a total bastard..

More like the strawberry generation,..good looking, but doesn’t stand pressure ⚽️

They were more indulge in their clubs rather than their Country....as simple as that

The whole decade from 2000 to 2010 was full of legendary players playing at a legendary level.

To many EGOS in one team

1998-2006 Netherlands France Brazil Italy Protugal had great teams too..

Who’s here after England lost to Italy in penalty’s in the euros ?

carrick was a 'busquet' of england he is slow but his brain was class yet he was underated by england.. if england try to play 433 like today formation he would be incredible at cdm

Excuse me Michael Carrick is an underrated genius

My opinion: 1. Most of them were from rival teams which would be hard for them to team up 2. The media keeps on focusing on the youth 3. Other countries were just as good as them or better

England lost....make me come here....to see the history and hope to change it for future achievements

This is true, upon people say football originated from England,I always wonder why they have won the world cup once

Carrick was world class on his day. If only we had Mourinho as manager.

I actually like the "too much rivalry between the clubs" 😅

England had Owen Hargreaves and he was our best DM. He could tackle, recover the ball, intercept, press, pass forward etc. A three man midfield of Hargreaves (DM), Scholes (CM) and Lampard/Gerrard (CM) would have solved our midfield issue.

Do a video on the amazing young goalkeeper with a bright future ahead of him. Gianluigi Buffon

Why everyone talks about Xavi and Iniestas Spain while Villa had the biggest impact in almost every single game

In 2002 world cup if they beat Brazil England will surely lift that world cup. But Ronaldinho scored his best goal.

An average team with 1 or 2 great players has the capability of winning... Too many great players are also a burden and no great players means no capabilities.

I don't understand why OMG disrespected Carrick. He was the only good CDM and he was not given chance. Instead the used scholes as CDM.

Michael Carrick was a legend!!!

England : make Beckham scapegoat. Beckham: am I joke to you.

"Is it ever been home before?" Lol

They didn't win anything because the other teams playing at the time were simply better. That was the golden generation of football overall. That level of competition is returning now and the euros feels like a genuinely unpredictable tournament

Uh, because they ran into the golden generations of Spain and Germany! There, just saved you 6 minutes

There’s never been much chemistry until now, players have now put clubs to the side during the international team and we got to the final

0:40 got me on the floor😂😂😂

England’s current team has a lot of talent but simply not as much as the Netherlands or Belgium

The reason is BECAUSE THE OTHER WERE DIAMOND GENERATION!!!!

Another problem was that they were all playing in the premier league While players from the other countries were playing at different leagues. They end up bringing different tactics and mentality while in premier league they had a lot of rivalry against them selves like Terry and Ferdinand Gerard and Neville

They did pretty good regardless! I had been cheering for England's National Football team since about 1984 when I was just 8 years old and in all that time I believe the 2002 England Team was the best one they had. The only weak link perhaps being the goalkeeper. That team was in my opinion second best team to Brazil in 2002 - better than Germany and the rest of Europe. I am very delighted over the new team with Harry Kane being one of my favorite strikers right there with Gary Lineker.

Some of my favourite teams areManchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, liverpool etc,, Neville, Rooney, Ferdinand etc, are on the squad, Man United used to be some of the best teams that there were.

England team has never been the consistent More the team is consistent more they can win the game Even today Both England team and England's club are inconsistent Thats the reason BPL is too much competitive

0:34 Gerrard on the left

England: Here's our golden generation. 4-3-3: Hold my beer.

"That's even worse than Arsenal"

What the hell happened to Roberto Di Matteo: first Chelsea coach to win Champions League

Golden Generation i'm gli Azzuri fans...but 2006-2010 England team is very2 nice team Respect for England,special Beckham,Gerrard,Lampard your all the best 😘😘😘

The left side of midfield was a massive problem for England during this time along with Scholes' retirement from international football.

Why didn’t they win? They weren’t good enough

The problem was management, the manager should be blamed. If they played in a 4-3-3 or in a 4-3-1-2 daimond formation they would have achieved more

To be fair, I think the golden generation did pretty well. Yes ,they underachieved according to their standards but seeing Gerrard and lampard in the same midfield made my day. They were unreal!

94 -2006 GOLDEN Generation of FOOTBALL 💖

I think one reason was the manager... Southgate is excellent

We tried too much to revolve around all the players instead of building around certain key players. That was the strategy that flourished mostly during the golden generation era for club AND country. We needed underdogs in the team that surprised us with bangers but instead we got a 11-man-league-superstar team that tried too hard neglecting the basic problem. It won’t work. I acc blame the management, how did they keep that simplistic type of thinking for nearly a decade knowing that it just won’t work. They tried to make a dream team into something that would be possible to work with. In our dreams, it would. But it’s a dream for a reason. Too many variables around the golden generation being squashed into a team together alone makes it unlikely for it to work unless they could play and train with that type of team for a prolonged period.

People forgot France, Spain, Brazil, Italy and Germany and Netherlands are full of legend too. The different is England does not have great chemistry but they lacking key player that can change the outcome of the match. France has Zidane and Henry that can change the outcome of the game. Brazil has Ronaldinho and Ronald and Kaka to change the game and have great impact etc

Timing and tactical.

That's one reason why you shouldn't fight on the pitch with other players because you never know a player from a different team can play on the same international team as you.

This England XI faces was on the back of every country newspapers everyweek back then... That's much the they are selling and famous those days... They do overly highlighted by newpapers but not really the internet because world dide web was too slow and hard to gain in those era...

There is a saying that When England won the first World Cup in 1966 , they Pour wines / beers ( liquor ) etc in the trophy 🏆 when celebrating, to which it was believed they have been cursed .

Oooooooommmmmmmggggggggg What a team man . Only legends in this team

Rooney Scholes Beckham Lampard Ferdinand Terry J cole A. Cole Michael Owen Neville Lool and emile Heskey...

When this video disrespect Carrick, i think whoever made this video doesnt know football.

Who is here after the euros

For me, a lack of strength in depth and and unbalanced team were the main factors. Yes, we had Rooney, but if he wasn't available then who could step up to take his place? Peter Crouch? A way past his best Owen? Decent players but not the guys to bring on and change a game. This is why Rooney had to play in 2006 even though he was miles off match fitness after breaking his foot just a few weeks earlier. As mentioned, we also desperately needed better balance to our midfield. We needed a manager who had the balls to drop either Gerrard or Lampard, and use the free slot to anchor the midfield properly so that whichever was playing could push forward and do the damage. Tactics also plays a part. From what I understand, Eriksson preferred a rigid formation, which greatly stifled the strengths of players like Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Gerrard.

Not just never won anything. England's Golden Generation never made a major tournament final.

Wait till the same happens to Belgium's Golden Generation

Same in cricket too

I was about to give a proper comment then I seen Joey. B in this clip and it reminded me and millions of others that England’s so called golden generation etc etc etc where not that good.

if higuain play for england they definately have a final wc😂

3:08 is that oh my goal's face?

France, Brazil, Italy, Germany just smile watching this Video.... Greece even laughs out loud.

Those legends🙆‍♂️😍 Beckham,Gerrard,Lampard,Evra,Rooney,Cole brothers,Terry ohh god 😔Soo sad they couldn't even win a euro
