>This was England's "Golden Generation"

tbf it was France's as well. People like to shit on our golden generation but we were unlucky in the two tournaments they played together, going out in the knockout rounds on penalties. Can happen to any team.

Not even Gerrard's most embarrassing moment...

England would have won that tournament if Rio wasn't banned and if Rooney didn't get injured. I say that as a Scot. Rooney was electric in that tournament.

Beckham got cucked hard in this match. You could even say he got kek'd.

Well. In the end, Greece won the fuck thing.

>was shit
Wtf. That team was better than the one who made the final in 2006 WC.

A lot of teams were at their peak in 2002-2006. That said, I'm not defending England. I dint even watch them play anymore.

They were about the same, except Pires retired and they added some players from the emerging Lyon at the time. Especially Wiltord since he played well in the CL and scored in their 3-0 group stage win against Real Madrid.

>>75582283
Yeah. Ribery was add aswell. But the main players were younger in 2004, closer to their prime form.

England are bottle merchants.

Remembering Lampard's performances here >>75580655 and >>75581019, how can people even think that Lampard vs. Gerrard needs to be discussed...

Greece earned it even if it was park the bus, unlike Portugal with the last Euro being an absolute disgrace having all the good teams on one side
French nonces should've let Italy Spain or Germany have a go instead
