England vs Spain - Euros final 2024

Apologies if there's already a thread, I couldn't see one.

What's everyones predictions for the game and plans? I reckon there will be a few sore heads come Monday morning!

2-1 England with Stones opening the scoring

 

I'll be watching in the British Oak in Mosborough, where I've watched the last 2 games.

They've got a bit of a fan park type thing in their overspill car park. Good atmosphere, and has a bit of a tenuous England link, in that it's apparently Harry Maguire's local when he's back in Sheffield.

2-2, England to win on penalties.

 

3-2 England.

 

I'll be pleasantly surprised if England win. Spain are a different class to anyone we've played so far. Hope I'm wrong but 3-1 Spain.

 

I'm guessing we'll go a goal or two down and then throw everything at them so 2-2 and hopefully win on pens.

 

Spain 2-1 for me, but I’m not usually very good at predictions

 

England to win 1-0, with a late winner by one of Southgate's substitutes. Tactical genius.

I'm not so sure they're quite as good defensively as all that...
Germany and France had ( collectively) 32 shots, Mbappe had an off day and Havertz can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo...I'm sure we can do better than either .
They've also committed more fouls and had more bookings than any team in the competition...17 fouls and 6 bookings versus Germany...England have the second best record, a tough referee could see a few of their players on thin ice.

 

Rational prediction would be 2/3-1 to Spain. Best team in the tournament comfortably. They've got phenomenal wingers and full back has been problematic for us, especially left back - although Kieran Trippier was magnificent in the first half against the Dutch. Objectively they should have too much for us.

But I'm actually weirdly confident tomorrow, for absolutely no good reason. 2-0 England, and immortality for the players and manager.

 

My prediction is 2 - 0 England.

 

I’m going 3-1 England in 90 minutes

 

I really can’t predict. What hasn’t been mentioned much, is that England have come from behind to win all 3 knockout matches..
Character..? I think so..

 

Cocktail Garden, Carvoeiro, who have hosted us perfectly for the last two.
I have seen Portugal win the Euros here, I hope I can now see England do the same.
3-0 England. Foden, Bellingham, Trippier.

Loads of Spaniards here; they do make me laugh; they have the Scots accent perfected.

 

England have to get after Spain from the first minute, because they’re going to have more of the ball & have chances. Declan is the key. Him & Jude have to boss the midfield, even if it means mixing it up.
Should Kane start, dunno? Part of me is tempted to start Watkins & Toney. It would mean dropping Mainoo, but scare the Spanish, early on..?
I’m not the coach..

 

3-0 England. Can't see anything other than a win and clean sheet. Three different scorers as well with the quality we have all the way through our team.

 

I think we need to go behind to have the shackles of Southgates safety first backwards sideways lifted off us. We've definitely got the players to go up a gear or two if their allowed.

 

Weirdly confident considering I'm not Southgate's biggest fan

 

1-1 at 90 and 120 mins. Win on penalties.

Me and the wife watching at home, no alcohol will be consumed (which doesn't bother me), first day back at work Monday after holidays.

 

4-2 England Geoff Hurst hat trick

 

3-1 England I was more worried about Netherlands game

Spain will give us chances like they did against France ( difference is we will take those chances )
