'soundly thumped'? That's bollocks.
They were the better team, however, they only scored their winner in the 86th minute.

Please go Southgate
There's every chance the FA will give this plank anoher extension to his contract
Shoulda been fired after Croatia, defo after Italy
His club career was getting sacked by Boro
says it all
Potter and Howe are MUCH better managers
Hopefully Potter

a) We lost 2-1 to an 86th minute goal.
b) Their xG was 2, not 6.
c) Pickford didnt make one save I wouldn't expect a PL keeper to make. Not sure how Spain score 6.
You & others were negative all tournament. I wasn't happy with our performances but we got to a final. We didn't go out to the first good team we played, we went out to the best team in the competition, the one who beat absolutely everybody.
You stated, and I quote, ‘the Swiss will roll over us’ but now they’re not good. You were boring all tournament about this crap.
Yep. We were a defensive team who relied on individual moments. I wasn’t happy with how we played, I want the manager to step down because of it.
One of my favorites...wish he'd have come to Spurs when Poch tried to get him. Love him.
===================================
Love this comparison, Cranny. It's absolutely insightful and spot on. Palmer's got his things to work on but he can make things happen.
==================================
Still misusing xG wrong I see. It's a cumulative stat, so without knowing xG/SOT it's of limited utility. To wit, if Spain played England again and HK dove in the box 10x and then pen-merchanted all 10 ( or 1-9) of them that would lead to an xG of 8 and a xG/SOT of 0.8. Just because xG equals only 2 does NOT mean they should have scored only 2. Perhaps it was the finishing and someone like Sonny would have handled it. But xG should not be interpreted like that.
Also, see Morata post and response...much better Euros than HK because of the same reasons I like him and was happy for HK to leave...and you've now soured on HK...but all of Spain is in love with Morata.
Because Kane wasn’t fit and Morata was .. great.
Watkins in the tiny amount of time he had on the pitch did something more special than Morata did all tournament.
Hold it, didn't you jsut say you'd had enough of "kane's not fit" excuses in major tournaments? In US sports, if you play you don't use supposed injury as an excuse...yet so many are proffering such nonsense for HK with no proof. And beyond that, seeing as this performance is in line with ALL of HK's other performances in major tournaments for England how can you use this as an excuse? Morata is also a year older.
The answer you are looking for is that the things Morata can do he can do against any opponent whereas HK cannot...which is why one has silverware and the other doesn't.
Did it come home because of it? Because Morata's insignificant contributions brought it home.
And we're ignoring the xG stuff, right? Gotcha.
