I don't like predicting scores lostcity but on this occasion I would tend to agree with you.

I can't see us stopping spain from scoring, so I think it could be a tight one, team line up and early subs will play a huge part, this may be controversial but I would like to see another striker play with Kane or if we play just one drop him completely, I know this won't happen and possible the only change wi be starting shaw from te start

I kind of agree cb73 I think we'll need a clean sheet to win, I don't know if we can do that against this Spanish side. If we get to penalties it will be a good result, win or lose after that who knows.

Looks like one good performance can lift us the trophy, so I want to see a full on, performance from the very first whistle,

We got what we deserved. Constantly not starting inform players. We need a re set and go again. Spain were the best team for the whole tournament.

Southgate and kane to blame
Kane not fit.
So why play him
Southgate too scared to drop him
Cost us

Agree greyleg, kane should've been off at half time, why Southgate leaves things so late is a question. As a question posed to others, would you want Southgate as your clubs manager? The common answer was no. So why continue with him as the nationals?

It has to get to the point where you start to think that maybe it is Harry Kane's fault he has no trophies because he is so bad in big games

Ditto abbey.
But who do we think could possibly replace him.
Whoever they must ditch kane and tbh

Harry Kane is the top goal scorer in Europe this season with 63 goals across all comps. He was CLEARLY injured all tournament! It's fine to debate his selection/the manager but the idea that we need to get rid of the best striker around as a route to success is frankly laughable! It's the equivalent of City saying 'this Haaland lads a bit average, shall we get Balotelli back'?!
Kane isn't the problem it's that we play an entire system that doesn't suit one of the best strikers in the world, and we should be! Haha, but I'm sure your right and Kanes the problem those 63 goals must have all beed lucky, just priceless! ?

Yes but if he's not fit, why play him before Watkins or Toney
His club wouldn't av played him unfit

Kane wasn't fit so why he insists on dropping into midfield all the time is just annoying- a few times our player won the ball but there was no out ball because Kane was standing next to him.
And we didn't see the real Bellingham throughout the tournament- was just running on empty in every game
Spain were just better- quicker, more incisive, stronger, fresher

You're right BB. I wasn't advocating getting 'rud' of Kane, just thought, injury or not, that kane wasn't giving much and looked slow, that the sub should've been earlier, and let's be honest we perked up after it happened.

And that's fair enough Abbey, to be honest (like yourself and Greyleg) I personally wouldn't have started him in the final. Because a) he looked injured and b) Watkins proved in 10 minutes that a mobile forward running in behind is FAR more effective in Southgates system.
Sorry Grey but that's (clearly) not what you were saying when you wrote 'Whoever they must ditch Kane' like despite only being 30 he's past his best?! Nothing could be further from the truth if you look at his goal scoring numbers. Like I said before Kane isn't/wasn't the problem, it's that we play a system that doesn't seem to suit his (or our other attackers for that matter) style of play ?

BullysBoy, is it the system that doesn’t suit Kane or the surrounding players? Bellingham, Foden, Kane and even Saka tend to drift central into the no10 spot. To get the best out of him you need wingers who’ll run beyond him when he drops deep. If the way to get the best out of Kane is to drop Saka, Bellingham and Foden, is it worth it?

Personally fuser I think it's time for a change, build around the younger guys now. Southgate as given it his best, taken us to the most he could in his time, but who replaces him? who will re structure the team?

Pretty sure Kane went into final joint top scorer. Pretty sure he also was one of the top scorers in Europe.
When England don’t make it out of the World Cup group with another Big Sam or Roy what will you do then? When there is no Southgate and Kane who will become Englands new scapegoat?
England are the international version of Manchester United. Except MUFC actually won stuff to gain their hubris and arrogance. England has won anything in 60 years.
I’m sorry but Southgate was your best manager in decades. In all of your lives. Remember where England was 8 years ago? No. Of course not.
I predict England won’t make a final for the next decade now. In fact I don’t think they will make the Quarter finals for next decade.
