    He's not fit, yet he still finished joint top scorer. It's so English to write him off after ONE bad tournament.

    Yamal getting a 7.7 and Shaw getting a 6.5 at least proves player ratings on the likes of FotMob are absolute nonsense

    He's one of England's best ever strikers and the top scorer in Europe. He's captained England to 2 finals. Yeah, he's not been at his best this tournament (I'd say injured rather than too old), the man deserves huge respect from England fans.

    I would like to see these lads with Klopp as manager.

    Sorry mate, can't agree ...

    ... there are other boys out there who are applauding the fantastic support and showing respect to Spain.

    I'm all for passion but, like Gascoigne, Bellingham isn't crying for England, the tears are for himself.

    From the looks of it, neither Kane or Bellingham were fit enough all through the tournament. Fair dos to Southgate for hoping they'll do something and in patches they did but tonight proved that's not enough

    If he's not fit why play him, why not play someone who can move and help the team out other than watch the match go round him

    I think we definitely have better individuals, but as a team Spain are a different class. Their movement, passing and speed is brilliant.

    We could have done better tactically and team selection wise though.

    I thought Shaw tired second half and was stretched a lot. He did a very good job on Yamal first half though.

    Because he has 66 goals in 98 games for England.

    But that's why people have issues with Southgate. iF the lads injured you put him on the bench.

    His performances in this tournament have been dreadful for the quality he has.

    Southgate has these lads playing like his Boro team.

    Unsurprising really given that was is first start since February. Shame we had no other options on the bench

    He has been ****e. Not interested in that stat when there has been a chronic lack of goals. Every game he has been **** and slowed us down.

    Spain looked well drilled to me, moved the ball well and probably could have won by a few more.
