Jude Bellingham is football's Emma Raducanu, Gareth Southgate was stuck in a time warp… and Bukayo Saka is the rightful player of the year: JEFF POWELL'S damning verdict on England's Euros

JEFF POWELL: Jude Bellingham appeared as football's Emma Raducanu. Too much too soon. Talented, Yes. The rush to the advertising modelling agencies, the me-me posturing, the bellowing at referees, the tantrums when it all goes wrong, the selfish irritation with team-mates he apparently deems beneath him, the diving which might have been better directed at the Olympic pool in Paris. No thank you. In Germany, Bellingham the Belligerent faded into Jude the Obscure. The two goals in stark contradiction to the hours of aimless meandering. An England captain to be? Maybe, if he parks the attitude and grows up. A leader this summer after a sunshine season in Madrid? Afraid not.

Where it all went wrong for England: The behind-the-scenes grumbles at Jude Bellingham's

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL IN BERLIN: In the aftermath of England's Euro 2024 final loss to Spain there were tears and tantrums - but eventually an air of acceptance. England's players believed this was their moment. Their tumultuous route to the final - a stoppage-time overhead-kick equaliser, an extra-time winner, penalty shootout glory and a last-gasp goal to book their place in the Berlin showpiece - had them believing the stars were aligning. Name on the trophy vibes. But the reality of international football bit in devastating fashion on Sunday at Berlin's Olympiastadion, as Spain passed their way to the title. Death by a thousand cuts.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride - Will Harry Kane finally break his silverware curse in 2024-25 or at the 2026 World Cup after another miserable and trophy-less 2023-24?

Harry Kane trophy curse goes on after his Euro 2024 heartbreak to leave questions over his

For all the personal accolades he earned, 2023-24 was yet another bleak season for Harry Kane. The England captain's decade-long search for silverware continued for both club and country as Bayern Munich had their first trophyless season since 2011-12 and England were beaten 2-1 in the final of Euro 2024 by Spain. The £86million striker tallied a remarkable 44 goals in all competitions in his first season at Bayern but failed to win a trophy, the main reason he moved to Germany. And although Kane shared the golden boot at Euro 2024, his Three Lions team were made to wait two more years for another shot at international silverware.

Gary Lineker and Micah Richards rubbish claims their criticism of Gareth Southgate influenced his decision to quit England after Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain

Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have both slammed reports that their criticisms during the European Championship had any influence on Gareth Southgate's decision to depart as England manager.

They were far from the only voices to level criticism at the Three Lions' showings, although Lineker's description of their performance in the group stages as being 's***' caught headlines.

How Spain's wing wonders baffled England and Jude Bellingham with half-time tweak to take control of Euro 2024 final - CHRIS SUTTON talks tactics

CHRIS SUTTON: As much as I wanted England to win these Euros, and as excruciating as it was to see us lose on Sunday evening, in a way it was good for football that Spain were crowned champions. Luis de la Fuente's side were totally in sync. Symmetrical. Smooth. Everything England weren't, really. For the Spaniards, it seemed effortless in how they progressed play from back to front. For us, it looked like a chore, and we spent most of our time in Germany banking on a big moment arriving to make up for our lack of balance.

SOUTHGATE QUITS ENGLAND

Gareth Southgate always fell short when it really mattered as England manager. He was not good enough to seize the greatness in our grasp, writes CRAIG HOPE

CRAIG HOPE: Gareth Southgate is a brilliant man. A brilliant manager he is not. Not through the lens of the technical and tactical skills that usher teams to major trophies.

As one source close to the squad said: 'There were 100 different ways for that group to make the final with that draw. They did it in pretty much the hardest way possible.'
