The Final: Spain vs England live from the Olympiastadion, Berlin. BBC1 AND ITV1. Sunday 8pm

[Astafjevs]

Olmo should do better there.

[Wavelberry]

Southgate got all red reactions with that teamtalk man.

[ThanatosAFC]

Should had been 2-0 there

[Baptista_8]

All over the place

[Pukey]

All of a sudden they keep getting space

[Astafjevs]

Seeing that again it's actually quite poor. Should definitely do better.

[Darius1998]

Oh Olmo, got to take those.

[Lucas]

Being carved up like a turkey. 

[GunmaN1905]

That can't be just on Walker. It's a 3 man defense and he's a CB.

He simply had to shift middle and cover Olmo who was running into space.

What can Walker do there? He has to be on Olmo.

Saka nowhere to be seen.

I wouldn't blame him since he's never played the role up until this tournament, but for him not to be in the picture is the problem.

[m_fenton]

What the hell is this?

[aiston]

Almost game over there.

[Redshift]

We're going to **** about at the back for 30 minutes now.

[Smallen]

Kane doesn’t even jump for headers at all. He really needs to come off.

[Andrew_]

Same again lads was the Southgate team talk.

Too bad Spain wanted more.

[Gary_Parker]

Great goal. Shaw loses his man for the first time all game and they concede. 

Spain trying to finish this off quickly at the start of the half.

Its a 4 man defence and he's the right back.

No, he said, "I'm delighted with that performance, keep it up," and they got complacent.

[aiston]

Get Bellingham and Kane off already.

[kopsy101]

I can't really attribute that as anyone in particulars fault, that was just beautiful

[Heartwork]

I think we need a spell of possession just to regain our composure

Rule #1 of any defensive scheme is to cover the biggest danger.

In this case Olmo is the biggest and most immediate danger.

And it's a 3 man defense.

Even if it's 4 man, Saka not being there is the problem.

[Baptista_8]

Need Saka on the ball as much as possible

[Redshift]

Walker ffs

[TalkSport]

Vintage Walker cross  

[JJ72]

Walkers cross 

[aiston]

Walker

What is that.

[Ackter]

This is going well.

[dudester]

Its so offensive watching walker cross when you have TAA on the bench.

It's definitely a 4. So you're saying that it's a problem that the right sided forward isn't there, but we can't blame the right back?

[Heartwork]

gdi Kyle what was that

[magpie1892]

Southgate still wont make a sub until 78 mins

[GunmaN1905]

Big problems for England now.

Can't take out Walker because Trent or Trippier would get embarrassed on defense, but can't have him while Spain defense deep because his cross is about as good as mine...and I'm left-footed.

[Ackter]

Bellingham is getting sent off at this rate.

[CFuller]

Four major finals in four years:

2021: England score first, England lose.

2022: England score first, England WIN.

2023: England concede first, England lose.

2024: England concede first... England win?

[Redshift]

Need Ollie and Cold on now.

[Smaldini]

This needs to be Walker’s last game for England.

[Icy]

Just when I was going to cry about Rodri injured and we scored! 
 

Still worried about Rodri not being there, he is incredible at his position both defending and controlling the game.

[Andrew_]

What minute will he make his first sub? Will be Mainoo. 73rd minute I'm going for

It's ok, Kane will fill in defensively for Trips or TAA to get forward.

If you want to go in that direction, then the pile up in the middle is to blame.

Walker can't leave Olmo alone, then it's up to who messed up. Was it midfield who piled up on Yamal or Saka who didn't follow Nico.

[JJ72]

Reaction to the goal is carry on...ffs

[arenaross]

We have to get pace and pressing ability on up front. 

[Darius1998]

Pass the ball Alvaro.

[GunmaN1905]

What is Morata doing, ffs.

Nico is alone in 1v1 situation and he decides to take a contested left-foot shot.

[magpie1892]

No chance we score twice against these.

76 minutes. 

Mainoo off. Gallagher on.

You’re morphing into Matterface again

[Darren Moores Mum]

Walker is looking terrible. 

[Heartwork]

Morata is the Spanish Kane
