[Volgastallion]

England still has the luck of the champions, Spain is overall a much better tema than England but this is football and be better sometimes doesnt mean anything at all.

Is Harry Kane gonna break his curse? Can he lift a trhophy after so many years of being a top forward?

Carvajal come back for Spain is gonna be very important in defense also he is gonna be full rest.

[panjul07]

Spain has been performing this entire tournament like a perfectly tuned machine. They dominated France, and that is not a simple feat. They are creative, disciplined, and they have that killing instinct. It requires this to win championships. England boasts a great squad. Still, they have had their shaky moments. Against the Netherlands that match? Their escape from it alive was lucky. And lets be honest, they dont have the same firepower as Spain.

This final seems to be going one way only. Spain is going to win it. They have the inspiration, the skill, the hunger, etc. Mark me: They will raise that trophy.

Spain's fans must be hoping to see Spain to win the final by keeping their consistency and not to make an anticlimax performance in the final match.
Without a doubt Spain is the most consistent team in the EURO this year, on the other side England is not showing really good performance despite the fact that they have many talented players from top European Club.
However I cant say that it will be a one way only, England can be so motivated to win it and may perform their best in the final match and surprise most of people in the world.
IMO, England last performance against Netherland is their best performance during the tournament so if they can play the same or even more improved then it can be a difficult match for Spain.

[Sim_card]

We are all set to see the big final on this Sunday 

Yesterday England has been proven their champion mentality by beating Netherlands and with 2 times in a row entering the final match i think it's time for England to gets the trophy from this tournament but indeed it's hard because their opponent is Spain who can be considered as the most consistent team in this tournament and if we see from Spain performance since group stages obviously they are much better than England even for betting options the bookmakers give Spain status as the favourite but although it's hard but i still confident England can beat Spain

Well, i like your confidence and support for England but we cannot take Spain lightly. They have beaten the giants Germany and France and are in full form. England will have to play exceptionally well to beat Spain and that too in the normal playtime. If somehow the match goes into the penalties, then Spain will have an advantage because of their Goal Keeper.

I don't think that Spain will allow the match to get into penalty shootout because they can win within 90 minutes. Their only tough match that have taken them to the extra time of 120 minutes was against Germany they scored their winning goal before 120 minutes. If Spain cannot win and the match extends to penalty shootout, it means that Spain will not win the finals because England have a good record on penaltyies and their top penalty players don't miss their penalties, they are the ones that plays penalties in their clubs as first choice. Pickford is also good at saving penalties.

~snip~

It will be very difficult to predict the winner due to the process both of them follow to the final, both of them work hard to attain this stage and both of them deserve to win the tournament because they both have star players to be relied on and all have young players with energy to play the match to any length.
I want England to win the tournament, but I know it will be difficult for them because Spain currently has the best squad in the tournament, and the young players showed their respective talents that made them the favorites for many people; therefore, I will be expecting a 90 minutes draw, and a penalty kick to end the game.

England and Spain are the two powers of European football who will show who is stronger in the final match, Spain and England managed to reach the final round after successfully defeating all their opponents so far, but we cannot deny the journey of these two teams in reaching the final round in very contrast, Spain managed to reach the final round perfectly in achieving victory in every match they played since the group phase began, this is different from what happened to England who are actually experiencing difficulties in reaching the final round, although the two teams have significant differences  in terms of performance but in terms of the quality of the players, of course this will have the potential to make the final match a difficult match for both teams.

But apart from all that, I actually see that Spain will be slightly superior in the that final match considering their style of play which looks more collective so far, apart from that as an England fan of course you are aware that the current England squad has several weaknesses which might be very difficult to overcome speed ​​and short passing game from foot to foot from the young Spanish players, Southgate managed to take England to the final even though from the start he was doubted by English fans, but will he be able to bring England champions this year after being thwarted 4 years ago by Italy in the final match of Euro 2020?
So Let's see...!!

England were truly repeating their history. Because by making it to the Euro Final this year, it means that England have entered the Euro Final twice in a row. It was as if England had been given a second chance to atone for their mistakes at the previous Euro. And yes if England succeed then that will be the most valuable gift for Kane. Because so far he has always failed to win the championship trophy. Kane really wants high achievements. But somehow the team he came with failed to win. For example, Bayern, which has long won the Bundesliga, failed last season after bringing in Kane. And now Kane is given the opportunity to win the title at the Euros with the England national team. And it would be quite dramatic if England ultimately succeeded. but if they fail to come back then Kane will really be out of luck.

[Oluwa-btc]

Netherland team was not week but England team played with full strength and full confidence and they gave their hundred percent and after that the players did two goals and England team were dominant in the whole match. Simons did first goal of the match and he provided base for the players to play and won the match . The defenders of Netherland team were not in good form and they  could not stop two goals. England team is perfect team for the final but I think Eng team will  win this match.

So far, that was the best performance by England and they deserved the qualifications, I see many people online claiming the referee was biased and blew a penalty to favour England but I don't think they're right and the referee made the right decisions based on the current rules. However, England's performance was better than that of Netherlands they created more and better chances and really deserved the winning, Gareth South was finally right in his choice of substitutions by introducing Watkins and Cole Palmer who mounted pressure of Netherlands defence to make England the winner and move to the finals. That was a fine assist by Cole Palmer and Watkins didn't hesitate to take his chances, Netherlands defenders would be so disappointed at themselves for letting the defense lose when they could've hold on for few more minutes and play extra 30mins but then their mistake became a blessing for England and they'll be facing Spain in the finals on Sunday, well let's see if they'll lift the trophy.

Maybe it was not the right call to be mad, the VAR check was poor because, when you take a look at the build up to the incident, that ball strucked Saka's hand, who makes such a call? It's embarrassing. That said, I blame  the manager, he was too slow to make important decisions by bringing more attacking players when they had control of the midfied. It's up to Spain now if they can complete a perfect run.

Back to Back finals for England with Gareth Southgate, I never saw this coming, because I know he wasn't in charge of that game yesterday. The tactical approach of the game showed he wouldn't have been able to make those decisions himself I'm my opinion.

The both sides did well, I was impressed with Kobbie Mainoo in midfied, Kyle Walker playing like he is 24, props to John Stones. Jude Bellingham playing a huge role and Cole Palmer with that vision and Ollie Watkins who was able to get them the goal. Virgil Van Dirk and his mates did a great job I can't lie. Down to the finals, I don't want to be baised, let the best side win the Competition. ( Should be Spain )

I will be looking forward to the final match this week, seeing the consistent performance shown by the Spanish national team from the start of qualifying to reaching the final, I have no hesitation in deciding to fully support the Spanish national team. To become Euro champions this year, most bettors will probably think the same way by favoring the Spanish national team, but if you look at the final you can be sure there will be surprises, the English national team is not easy to beat. Considering that there are many star players who play there, and seeing England play well when they beat the Netherlands will be a threat to Spain. narrow score for Spain victory

And it would be quite dramatic if England ultimately succeeded. but if they fail to come back then Kane will really be out of luck.

So far the England national team has never won the Euros once. In fact, all the teams apart from England that entered the semi-finals this season have actually all lifted the trophy at the Euros. The Netherlands, if I remember correctly, won the Euro once, and then France also won the Euro twice. Meanwhile, Spain has won the Euro title 3 times out of the four times they have entered the final. And England themselves have only been to the final twice now. Last season they failed in the Final because they lost on penalties to Italy. And now they will face Spain where Spain's quality looks better. And of course England will fight harder to win their first title at the Euros. but facing Spain is the toughest challenge. And for Kane, this is also a great opportunity for him. Because so far he has been one of the greatest strikers in Europe, but he has never had the experience of lifting a championship trophy.

Spain vs England finals will be fine and I think it is going to end up with a good Spain victory for sure. A lot of people are aware of this, Spain is clearly the favourites, but England managed to come to this finals one way or another so we can't really make that change any other way and that means England could potentially still win this one. I get that we are not expecting them to win, but that doesn't mean that they must lose, they could still shock the world and win.

Remember, this isn't some small nation that luckily got here, this is England, and while they are not really a great tournament club and rarely win these ones, they still are a good team and could surprise us and get the win. It is a tough bet to make on this match without a doubt.

I thought the Netherlands - England game would end by penalty shootouts and England would win. However they even finished the game in regular time by Watkins' winner in the last moments. 

Now, I'm also thinking the same just as I said before. Spain are a huge favourite to me. The odds are still like 2.45 to 3.50 now. I would like to take the risk and bet on Spain to win in regular time at these odds honestly.

You have all seen what they did to France. I know this is a final game and people tend to think Spain would also play more cautiously. But I don't think it will be exactly like that. Spain would control the game I think.

Funny how they had a good performance yesterday and I wasn't expecting it because they have been so poor in their last matches. I dont know if i should be happy for them or not. Because i had lost hope in England in this competition, the teams I had a full interest in to win the tournament have all gone except Spain. I don't want England to win the final, Spain is my favorite in the final. My reason is because England has been lucky all along, ever since the knockout stage down to the quarter final. It is either they won by one goal, own goal, or a penalty shootout. And i wasn't surprise to see that they were given a penalty in the Semi final in other to qualify.

What a tournament that is always turning out right for the England team, Don't be surprised that they might win the final round. Something seems fishy, i am not certain but my instinct tells me.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I totally agree with you, for me France is a very good team, but I think Mbappé has to partner with another striker. If Deschamps does not change his formation, I think they will lose, and badly, because Spain is very well integrated. In fact, if this Spain of now had been in Qatar, I think they would have even been able to compete in the final, but the incompetence of Luis Enrique meant that this team did not give its best. For me Spain is at a much higher level as a team. For France to beat them I see it as extremely difficult.

And finally France lost a decisive match after several years of unbeaten streak
I won the bet, finally too, because I was on a bad streak 

France didn't play badly, they were better than I thought, but this Spain team has everything it takes to win this edition of Euro
What caught my attention was the fatigue of the two teams in the second half, it was very visible

Well I like that you won, it's always good when someone wins money and I'm very happy, I hope you win the final, Spain's rival has already been defined, although I think that Spain is a very strong country and I see the air of a champion in it, of course I don't despise its rival, but as they are they are at a very difficult level to beat, personally I would like England to be able to give a good surprise, but basically a team in a final always changes everything, its mentality and its way of seeing the game, because it is going to give absolutely everything, it is not going to hold back nor should it hold back anything, I would go for it until I have no legs left, that's what I would do, and there is a lot of talk about Yamal who at 16v years old has received all kinds of praise, great Spain.

[coinlocket$]

Not playing well since the start of the tournament but finally they made it to the final, it was a big surprise.

Well we also need to remember that Englad was in the weak side of the table.
While in the left side we had, Germany, Spain, France and Portugual on the right side they only had Italy.

So for sure it was easier.

Personally, I also think that this year's Euro champion is the most deserving team. Spain has continued its dominance since the group stage matches. Spain has been performing brilliantly in every match. The chemistry between the team players is good and the match strategy of this team is also excellent. Spain is also fully capable of beating England.

In this year's Euro, Spain team faced big teams like Croatia, Italy, Germany and France. The interesting thing is that Spain dominated and won every match. On the other hand, we have not seen England's overall performance so far as this team has won most of the matches due to their good luck.

[Richbased]

Spain and England are amongst the two best teams in this competition, so for them to have made it this far, you sure know that the final is going to be a bumper. I’m not sure the match will reach the penalties, but 90 minutes won’t decide the winner because I’m not even expecting a late goal winner but a late goal equalizer to continue the match into extra time.

Regardless of the fact that England made it to the finals I don't think they are strong enough to stand Spain on Sunday because Spain have been very outstanding all through the tournament so they will be looking forward to winning the finals and claim the glory because when we look at the statistics of Spain and England in the competition, it is clear that Spain has upper hand to England due to the fact that Spain have literally met the teams that were considered as being strong in the competition, Spain have met Italy, Germany and France and they won all which is to show how formidable and strong the team is even during the group stage matches they still won all teams in their group.

England is not in a bad shape either since they have Saka, Foden and Harry Kane in the front and the three players have been trying their possible best to see the team get to where they are now so the finals will be the greatest clash clash of the competition and since this is the first major tournament England will be playing in a Foreign soil they will also plan to create a record so they will surely give their best performance but however, Spain looks more prepared in this tournament so they are most likely to win the finals but if England wins it will be a happy moment for Southgate. Whichever way the game is determined be it at full-time or extra time the most important thing is that one among Spain or England will win the tournament on Sunday.

Well we also need to remember that Englad was in the weak side of the table.
While in the left side we had, Germany, Spain, France and Portugual on the right side they only had Italy.

So for sure it was easier.

And THIS Italy was perhaps the weakest team that left the group in my opinion.  

[DubemIfedigbo001]

England all through this European competition have not been very impressive but they find themselves in the finals of the competition even though they're not playing to their full potentials. The same kind of pain that Watkins causes to teams in the premier League is the same pain he has caused Netherlands today.

England playing pattern in this competition is well below the marks. They're just playing ceremonial football and have been winning on pure luck to be honest. Although I want them to win this competition because of my support for their captain. I think their coach didn't bring proper tactics into this competition, or are we to blame the fact that the players don't play together at all before the competition?. Their team square play is so ineffective.

They need to come up with something very special to emerge Victoria against Spain cos those boys are balling good. I wish them well and hope they win the championship . I would love this trophy for H. Kane.

If you look at it, it is clear that England has an easy path, while Italy has retreated early defeated by Switzerland while Swiss England can be said to be favored by England, even though this match ended on penalties.

If England's scenario had been on Spain's side with a big team flow it might have been difficult, but it was on Spain's side and the team did it perfectly.
Still, whatever the course of the competition, the final is the ultimate decider.

England played far better in yesterday's match than what they have ever played since the beginning of the euros. I have been a big critic of the England squad particularly the coach tactics. But yesterday I saw an improved England side. They didn't sit back waiting for miracle to happen for them to win. They played a balanced game and I was impressed with their performance. Against Spain they should do better, if not they are going to find it difficult. I will give some credit to the players and coaching staffs because it's not easy to reach the final two successive euros competition but England has managed to achieve that. At this point I will say the team that needs the trophy most should put in the best performance in the final and take the trophy home. A big congratulations to Spain and England teams.

So far we have seen the performance of England in this Euro, I would say that Gareth Southgate is far behind Spain coach Fuente in terms of match strategy. To be honest, I don't like Southgate's match tactics at all. England's midfield and forwards are very strong. However, England scored only 7 goals in 6 matches of this year's Euro. On the other hand, Spain also performed well against strong teams. And scored 13 goals in 7 matches.

The gameplay of the Spanish players is very organized. It will be challenging for England to perform well against this team. I consider Spain as the favorite in this match. But if Southgate adopts a different match strategy, and England's performance improves, the match will be competitive.

yeah I am sure that almost everyone or the majority of us here will also favor Spain if we look at the quality of their play on the field and in the Euro 2024 competition. It's just that when everyone doubted England and didn't play favorites, it turned out that England continued to go further with their luck. So I think it will be very difficult to determine who will win in the final. Whether it is Spain with their performance and consistency which is beyond doubt or England with the depth of their squad which is indeed very good even though their game is mediocre but they have luck on their side. For me this is still quite difficult after seeing how the Netherlands became so helpless in front of England who continued to dominate the game. I'm starting to think something similar could happen in the Finals. But logically I would choose Spain. It's just that my mind was a little distracted thinking about luck which could be on England's side for the Euro this time.
