England supporters expressed their frustration with one player following the team’s defeat in the Euro 2024 final. Despite a late equalizer by Cole Palmer, England fell to Spain 2-1, marking their second consecutive loss in a European Championship final.
The decisive blow came in the 86th minute when substitute Mikel Oyarzabal netted the winner, securing Spain’s seventh successive tournament victory under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente. The defeat left England fans disheartened, with many directing their ire at right-back Kyle Walker, whom they blamed for both of Spain’s goals.
One disgruntled fan took to social media, posting on X: “Kyle Walker responsible for both Spanish goals. You cannot write this script.” Renowned football commentator Mark Goldbridge chimed in, saying: “Don’t ever tell me Kyle Walker isn’t just pace.
Both goals on him.” The criticism didn’t stop there, as another fan lamented Walker’s overall performance throughout the tournament, writing: “From absolutely nothing. Walker has been a disaster all game – all tournament.”
Walker was tasked with containing Spain’s left-winger Nico Williams, but struggled to do so. Williams managed to open the scoring early in the second half, setting the stage for Spain’s eventual triumph and leaving England fans questioning Walker’s effectiveness in such a crucial match.
