Maybe because people forget the PL is great because of all the foreign players, and they might think it's all English.

The media always talk about them like they have won the most World Cup in history

ESPN overhype England and ask us why they overhype England. Jeez

1 international trophy ever in their whole history and it was on home soil a literal lifetime ago and surrounded by tremendous controversy.

The biggest takeaway from today’s game between France and Germany was how balanced the German team were from back to front which is something that we haven’t seen in a long time

"Bellingham is better than Zidane" fools said. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think besides being used to English media Brazil is better footballing nation compared to England.

They’re Overhyped Because We know all the Players from English Premier League. It’s Like a Illusion tbh

England is always mid but their media can't handle that .

Brazil is the Real Madrid of National Teams, and England is Tottenham. One would be wise to never write off Brazil and even wiser to never bet on England.

England have won 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, that's how they look at England in terms of "threat" 🤣

Trophyless since 1966 but the medias and the people in general is dying to see them win a REAL major trophy

More of the players need to play outside the premier league, play with other style of players, get out of their comfort zone, evolve.

England made Brazil's b team looked extremely good yesterday...

England with Chillwell, Gallagher, Maguire and they are expecting winning. They are deceiving themselves 😂. The coach himself lacks tactics and proper selection.

Many people can disagree with this due to the fact that they don’t watch the Bundesliga, but Florian Wirtz is a 100+ player. Around this time 2 years ago, he had an ACL injury that ruled him out for a year and since his comeback, he’s elevated his game to another level and has been the driving force of Bayer Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten run and success in the Bundesliga this season. He has 11 goals and 17 assists in all competitions and against France for Germany he just scored again today and he’s just enjoying himself on the field. To come back from that injury and to be playing in a way in which he’s doing right now that takes some doing and he’s only 20 years old. He’ll be on the radar of a lot of top clubs and I see him making a big money move eventually. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up at Bayern Munich in the next 18 months because they’re a club that’s interested in him, I’d want to see that Jamal Musiala linkup and it’d be a great fit for him. As excellent of a player Thomas Miller has been for the Bavarians, at some point he needs to be replaced because they can’t rely on him forever since he’s 34 years old. Wirtz would be a perfect replacement for him and he’d be a great fit for Bayern Munich due to his versatility age and how much talent he has. I think this is a move that could eventually happen and if it does they’d pay over 100+ million for him, I think to play it safe and continue his development, I’d stay at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season.

They are not Brazil or Argentina for god sake . They only won world cup once 🤣🤣 And they always shout the loudest

reminds me of England's so-called Golden Generation of Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard etc. never got past the Quarterfinals of a World Cup or Euro. That was their true level...Quarterfinalist at best lol

France at times always play friendlies with a bit of no motivation, especially if they get scored on first. 🤣

France’s backline needs to be Theo-Lucas/Saliba-Konate-Kounde

One of the most rhetorical questions ever asked

incoming 60 years of hurt. They invented a sport to watch everybody else win

Lowe the volume of the backing track please, its always hard to hear what they're saying in extra time.

England always have great players, but they lack of a team play and dedication on national level, and that's because they still cannot find a quality coach who can make bring that winning mindset and team spirit. Many are saying that the club rivalry in Premiership is the main reason for England to struggle on the big occasions, but I disagree with that. Look Spain, 10-15 years ago they had players from Barca and Real, one of the biggest rivalry in the World, and they dominated on national level and won everything, but they had a great coach.

Konate and Saliba should be the French center back pairing.

France’s defense is the only issue they have. What’s their best combination in defense, what’s the back 4 that Deschamps will lineup with, Theo Hernandez is probably a guaranteed starter at LB, but at CB who starts Lucas Hernandez Benjamin Pavard Ibrahima Konate William Saliba Dayot Upamecano or do you move Jules Kounde at CB and maybe give Malo Gusto a rare chance because he’s having an excellent season at Chelsea in the midst of Reece James having another injury plagued season. That midfield has so much talent, we all know how brilliant Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchuoameni are, at the age of 17 Warren Zaire Emery is an exciting player and is excelling and starting week in week out for PSG and in my opinion, we can all agree that when this team has everyone healthy, Antoine Griezmann is the most important player on the France national team and that’s a fact right there. His presence in the team is genuinely irreplaceable and when he missed his first game for France since 2017, isn’t a surprise that they lost 2-0 to Germany even though he played in that other fixture when they lost. Didier Deschamps knows that France can’t win the EUROs without Antoine Griezmann despite how good Mbappe is because he offers a lot of experience in the attack, he’s the first player to build up their plays from deep into the attacking third, he links the play up and he is dangerous in the final third. What Kylian Mbappe can do is well documented he’s that good, even though Ousmane Dembele has finally had a season where he’s been relatively fit and has barely missed a game with injury since he joined PSG, he can do a lot more does great work, but doesn’t do enough in the final third and while Marcus Thuram has been amazing for Inter Milan, they’re a better team with Olivier Giroud as their striker and he’s 37 years old. Mbappe obviously loves playing with him and the guy himself is an integral player for Deschamps’ system, he and Griezmann are as important to the team as he is. I personally think that France are the team to beat at the EUROs, they’re massive favorites to win the tournament in the summer and I know it’s just a friendly, but not just against Germany, like in the last EUROs where they got knocked out of the last 16 by Switzerland, they can’t get complacent, the last World Cup they were so close to winning it back to back and at the EUROs, it’s possible they can win this tournament if the manager gets the right balance in the team.

yet another Southgate masterclass,please let this guy coach United😂

Southgste proved he lacks what is needed to become a winner when he threw away the 2020 Euro final.

Bolivia also won once in the 60s.

What kind of pathetic mindset is that?! Every single Argentinian player would rather play for Argentina a friendly against Singapore in the south pole than a champions league game. And that's why we have 3 WC and 15 copa americas and the Brits haven't won in 60 years

Short answer Yes

If there was an English version of Athletic Bilbao in the EPL with only English base players ( like how Bilbao only used Basque/Spanish only players) they wouldn’t even survive in the league for one season. The English players always seem robotic and wooden on the pitch; the likes of Milner, Rice, Henderson, Foden, the recent addition from New Castle, Dunk, Maquire, Rashford, Walker etc. all players lacking in flamboyance and charisma on the pitch.

England always has tons of B level talent but never produce a game changing ⭐️ like Messi , Zidane , Ronaldo. Maybe Jude will change that.

Jamal Musiala has gone from strength to strength at Bayern Munich in recent seasons and he’s already a key player on the Germany national team. It’s easy to forget that he’s still only 21 years old, but that guy is a phenomenal player. He’s had a bit of a mixed season so far, but he has found his form lately, he has 5 goals in his last 5 league games he has 10+ goals in the Bundesliga, 12 goals and 6 assists in all competitions. What’s special about his game is the fact that he passes the eye test with flying colors and while we live in a world where players are only judged off of stats and the only thing that fans care about is goals and assists to differentiate between a good and a bad player, Musiala is just incredible his dribbling control ability to get out of tight spaces technique etc, it’s like watching a La Masia player over and over again. In a “stat driven culture” his game catches the eye and he’s brilliant. He’s such a versatile player, he’s a number 10 a CM LM etc excels in any role in the midfield. Everybody talks about Jude Bellingham, but Jamal Musiala is a different beast and it’s unlucky for him that people don’t have time to watch Bundesliga because this guy is just memorizing.

Absolutely, with all the infrastructure in place it's clear to see, ps get a decent manager, a winner and England would be a different animal

i watched the game when both teams were with their starting XI it was pretty balanced with Brazil a little more punchy,...once the managers thru all those subs and the game changed it went 1 nil. not like it was a blow out.

Don't they believe that the EPL is the best league when it's just the most popular? Love their argument that Messi can't be compared to Ronaldo because he didn't prove his worth in the EPL! Right? He should have followed in the footsteps of all the Greats like Zidane who played for Chelsea, Pele for Nottingham Forest, Cruyff for Arsenal and Di Stefano for Man United...😢

People need to realise that this was a friendly. Remember when England beat Germany in 2016 and then lost to Iceland in the euros.

Saka's laugh 😅😅

Because people we’re watching an English media outlet and English audience watches English football. Easy

Lmao.. Craig been called a hypocrite 🤣🤣🤣 That we already knew

Craig explained exactly why Scotland and England dont do well at international football.

I can’t wait for Jan tears when Wirtz joins us

Kounde can't be trusted. Upamecano can't be trusted. Konate and Saliba should be centerback.

Jan came in first in the Norwegian ski championships, . . . followed close behind by a giant hungry fish 🐟

There fans, the media, the people desperate for them to win . . .

But..but Foden and Bellingham are the bEsT iN tHe WoRlD!!

Saliba and Konate are the best pair for France.

Must be painful to think you are the best, knowing you aren't. They have the best competition because of the foreigners in managers and players they can attract. I wonder if they'd do just as good when there are no foreigners involved, because I don't think so. Afterall who you think will win, Maguire or van Dijk? Rodri or Rice? Rashford or Mbappe? Haaland or Kane? Just showing you the difference....

Short answer. Yes.

Bellingham has Madrid blood in him❤ Mr. 90+

no matter the talent suffer from having fans who care more about domestic competitions than international ones. as a result, the players feel they're there to represent their clubs, not their country. that hampers the team-building portion of training. many former players, including gerrard, terry, lampard, ferdinand, have stated this has long been a huge problem in the england national team. also, talented or not, many english players don't play together until they reach the national side, meaning, it takes longer to grow chemistry and understanding between teammates. also also, southgate is not a very good coach, and too often plays players out of position.

The right question 😅 and the right answer yes very much 😂

ESPN hyping up England players, always but they are amazed when they get reality check

I get the hype. It comes from them seeing the great amount of quality players they have and they know they should be able to compete but there's always things to consider. Things such as: these great players are great at the club level, they need to prove it for their national teams; secondly, they should always remember Southgate's the coach; the praise should come after games not prior.

It’s just an English thing tbh. But to be fair, this years team isn’t overhyped imo, the manager is just a clown with zero football intelligence

Football is huge in England. Also, you cannot deny the sheer volume of English talent. They deserve to be seen as favorites but Southgate really does go with the most boring style of play imaginable. They lack identity and it shows. Teams like Argentina and France don’t have top talent in every position, but they do have a recognizable style.

Absolute yes

Ah finally you asked the right question!Answer is yes.

Same applies to the EPL when you consider that in the last 20 European Cup Finals that English teams played Spanish teams the score is 20-0 to the Spanish teams

England is the birthplace of football. Canada is the birthplace of ice hockey. USA the birthplace of baseball. We expect the founders to be the best. It's not always the case.

There's a sense of ego creeping in among the players .. there's a lack of camaraderie .. if you are stamped to be a great player you should be able to have the consistency to dribble past opponents easily & making swerving shots that always on target but none of that was shown by the bigger skilful stars of england like Bellingham & Foden .. then the answer for over hyped is spot on.

Yes their overhype by their own pundits and media.

I watched german vs France game, germany was on fire and it will easily destroy england.

Why is it even a question?

It's always coming home!

Pavard is great at inter playing in back 3 in france it's too much for him as a back 2

The question shouldn’t be “why are England always overhyped” it should be “why do England fail to perform when required” cough, cough Southgate!

they mistaken England for Man City!😆

It’s funny how I watch people talk about how bad England are all year around just to be told we’re overhyped around tournaments… overhyped when? By who?

Short answer YES they are overhyped! The long answer is that England is the best at marketing in the world. So when the English media constantly say the PL is the best league in the world enough times eventually people will believe. That's why England are favourite for every tournament despite not winning anything since 66. But in reality, the managers the players the owners in PL, are all foreign. So when it comes to the national, you have English managers that are tactically inept and stand on the touch line clueless. Doesn't stop them cheering it's coming home every year just for them to lose, and then the fans and media point out all the problems. They are extremely fickle, and the team play extremely average.

History of England And Bottler SG incharge

Yes

They’ve been overhyped before but not overhyped now - anyone with sense knows the players are good but the manager isn’t and plays defensive football and picks people like Maguire instead of taking risk and playing more offfensive rounder defenders that would suite the style of play the majority of players play every week

Because the majority of the big pundits are from the UK or played in the Premier League.

I’m 43 and England have won nothing in my life time. They bottle it on every occasion, seem to beat smaller teams but get found out against the big boys

The English media try to get their fans excited about tournaments. The commentators are always talking up England referees, players and teams and always mention any connections they have to England. And then England never performs. They made it to a final which was good for them.

It's just a friendly

Not overhyped, always under perform

The English media and premier league fans are a problem. Every time they produce an excellent talent and they start balling, they treat them as if they’re the best player in the world already. English players are too overhyped and that could be the problem with their national team which explains why their Golden Generation of talent had little to no success, they had good players, but that team was so overrated. Even though they had a lot of talent, that team wasn’t even good on paper. They’ve gone so many decades without winning anything internationally and have won nothing since the 20th century yet English fans continue to overhype their team and their players. Under Gareth Southgate, this England team isn’t great on paper and enough proof of this is their loss to Brazil, they lose against a team that’s been struggling and are currently 6th in World Cup qualifying right now. England are massive “pretenders” at the EUROs because apart from France off the top of my head, Portugal Spain Germany and even the Netherlands are better than them on paper. With many players doing well with their club, they have no excuses to not deliver at the EUROs, but since this is England they’re like the “Tottenham of international football” no matter what they do, they’ll still find a way to bottle a chance of actually winning something. I think the English media needs to shut up and stop overhyping their players acting like they’re next Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo because what are they gonna say if they win nothing.

My favorite part was after the game, seeing the the Real Madrid players talk to each other! Hala Madrid!

No way their manager is that inept that he can’t win with this much talent

Its because these players play well for thier clubs under great managers but when southgate manages them ,they forget how to play football.Its the managers fault

I think they just have a really bad coach... people underestimate the importance of having a good coach, Even Brasil with a bunch of talented players, couldn't go far under the Tite's awful management

the media and former players ove hype them

England: all roar, no bite since 1966

Germany won the World Cup 4 times, England one time with a fake goal. Yet, they are always the favorites? It’s ridiculous.

Because you do it.

English pundits overhype them ,thus inadvertently overrating them and their own perceived ability.

Managers are so underrated. Fans always believe 90% is about players, if not more.

They are still putting maguire on the field💀 once he’s off the team they’ll show out but until then…😬

I'm not even German but I'm happy for Germany cuz they have been getting alot of disrespect for the past 6 years, people actually think England and Belgium have a higher chance of winning the Euros in GERMANY!!!

England has always underachieved based on the level of talent they have. Not over-hyped actually the prais and expectations that form around them are proportionate to the talant level the access to worlds highest level football the premier League provides and also the access to the best level of coaching the latest and most advanced training methods and modern resources of physical and technical science. these are all contributing factors that form the overall level of expectations and set the bar high

English press that mostly talk about the english league of course they will sense that england have a chance. Same as most leagues with successful clubs in europe. England are only made out to be this way because they havent won anything since that world cup, only one team can win a tournament and usually there are more than one favorite for a tournament. I think this england team is probably the most complete though, just need a more tactically adept manager, southgate seems more like a head of football operations or something

They've been over hyped since 1966..

Yes.

Is not necessarily over hyped but is coaching

Southgate needs to see the gate now 😂

Its because of the English Premier League

I thought Gallagher, Maguire and Rice were Irish.
