  • Euro 2024: Spain extends England’s 58 years of no trophy

    Euro 2024: Spain extends England’s 58 years of no trophy

    England‘s hopes of ending their 58-year trophy drought were dashed as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin.

    Despite a spirited comeback, Mikel Oyarzabal’s late strike sealed Spain’s victory, leaving England’s 1966 World Cup triumph as their only men’s major trophy.

    In a thrilling encounter, Spain took the lead through Nico Williams early in the second half. England responded with a brilliant equalizer from Cole Palmer, raising hopes of extra time. However, Oyarzabal’s goal four minutes from time secured Spain’s win.

    This defeat marks the second consecutive European Championship final loss for Gareth Southgate’s side, following their penalty shootout heartbreak against Italy in 2021. Before these recent finals, England’s only major tournament final appearance was in 1966.

    The Three Lions have yet to win a senior football tournament abroad, with their 1966 World Cup and the Women’s Euro 2022 victories both achieved at Wembley.

    Southgate’s future remains uncertain as his contract runs until the end of the year. This could potentially be his final major tournament after eight years at the helm. Despite a slow start in Germany, with performances initially criticized and close calls in the knockout stages, England fans dared to dream again until their defeat by Spain.

    England’s 1966 World Cup victory, a 4-2 win over West Germany with Geoff Hurst’s hat-trick, remains their sole success. Since then, England has experienced a series of near misses and heartbreaks in major tournaments, including Diego Maradona’s infamous handball in 1986 and penalty shootout losses to Germany in 1990 and 1996, the latter seeing Southgate himself miss a crucial penalty.

    There were also years of failing to qualify, such as for the 1994 World Cup and the 2008 Euros, and group-stage exits. The narrative seemed to shift in 2021 when England reached the Euro 2020 final, although most of their matches were at Wembley. Despite taking an early lead against Italy, they lost on penalties after extra time.

    This year’s Euro campaign was a rollercoaster. After a win over Serbia, England drew against Denmark and Slovenia in the group stage, narrowly avoiding elimination. The last-16 match against Slovakia saw Jude Bellingham’s injury-time overhead kick force extra time, with Harry Kane scoring the winner.

    Southgate’s tactical shift to a wing-back system against Switzerland in the quarter-finals proved crucial. Bukayo Saka’s late goal saved England, who then won on penalties. The semi-final against the Netherlands saw another dramatic finish, with Ollie Watkins scoring in the 90th minute to send England to the final.

    Despite these thrilling comebacks, England fell short in the final, and the team’s future under Southgate is uncertain. His contract ends this year, and he has yet to decide on his future.

    “I don’t think now is a good time to make a decision like that,” Southgate said post-match. “I need to talk to the right people. It’s not for now.”

    England will return to action on September 7th in Dublin against the Republic of Ireland for their first 2024-25 Nations League game, followed by a home match against Finland. These games will be in the second division of the Nations League after England’s relegation last season.

    If Southgate were to depart at the end of his contract, he would oversee the remaining Nations League fixtures but leave before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers next year.

  • Why England no longer relies on Harry Kane as their playmaker

    Why England no longer relies on Harry Kane as their playmaker

    Harry Kane played a different role in England’s Euro 2024 victory over Serbia compared to his usual style, but it was equally crucial for the team.

    Typically known for dropping deep and providing incisive passes for runners, Kane adjusted his approach in Gelsenkirchen.

    Facing a deep-lying Serbian defense marking man-to-man, Kane explained that he stayed higher up the pitch early in the game.

    This strategy aimed to create more space for England’s midfielders and forwards by drawing defenders away from them.

    In the first 35 minutes, Kane had minimal touches but effectively acted as a focal point in attack, crucial for England’s game plan.

    His presence kept Serbian defenders occupied, allowing England’s other players room to maneuver.

    As the game progressed and England faced pressure in the second half, Kane’s role evolved. Instead of dropping deep to assist defensively, which risked leaving England without an outlet when they regained possession, Kane focused on holding up play, protecting the ball, and winning free-kicks.

    While England sometimes rushed these set-piece opportunities, Kane’s experience underscored the need for composure in such moments to control the tempo of the game.

    Reflecting on his performance, Kane acknowledged that different games may require him to adapt his positioning, highlighting the versatility needed from a center-forward.

    His efforts in creating space and opportunities for teammates exemplified his commitment to team success, even when not directly involved in scoring chances.

    Looking ahead, Kane’s role for England has evolved from his earlier days resembling his role at Tottenham Hotspur. With talented midfielders like Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold now providing creative playmaking, Kane’s focus includes facilitating their involvement in England’s attacking maneuvers.

  • The Japanese yen has reached a 32-year low against the US dollar

    The Japanese yen fell to a 32-year low versus the US dollar as official data revealed that prices in America rose faster than predicted.

    The yen sank to 147.66 per dollar before recovering some ground.

    Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki said the government will take “appropriate action” against the currency’s volatility.

    In a rare move last month, Japan spent almost $20bn (£17.6bn) to prop up the country’s struggling currency.

    “We cannot tolerate excessive volatility in the currency market driven by speculative moves. We’re watching currency moves with a strong sense of urgency,” Mr Suzuki told reporters after attending a G7 finance meeting in Washington, DC.

    Last month, Japan intervened in the global currency market to help support the weakening yen.

    That move came after the yen hit a fresh 24-year low against the dollar, marking the first time that Japanese authorities had intervened in the currency market since 1998.

    However, analysts have warned that interventions like this would have little effect as long as Japan’s interest rates remain far lower than those in the US.

    The Japanese currency has come under increasing pressure in recent months, mainly due to the very different approach taken by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in comparison with the US Federal Reserve.

    On Thursday, official figures showed that consumer prices in the US rose more than expected last month in a sign that the inflation fight in the world’s largest economy is far from over.

    Inflation, the rate at which prices rise, was 8.2% in the 12 months to September, down from 8.3% in August.

    Rising consumer prices in the US are being closely watched as the Federal Reserve’s efforts to cool inflation pushes up the value of the dollar as well as global borrowing costs.

    America’s central bank has been aggressively raising its interest rates to combat soaring prices, which has made the dollar more attractive to investors. In contrast, the BOJ kept rates very low.

    The dollar’s strength in the global financial markets is also having an impact on other major currencies around the world, including the pound and the euro.
