Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has criticized England’s star players for their performance at Euro 2024, claiming they “didn’t turn up.”
Carragher expressed his views on X following England’s 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final on Sunday. Mikel Oyarzabal scored the decisive goal for Spain after Cole Palmer had equalized Nico Williams’ second-half strike.
In the aftermath of the loss, some fans called for Gareth Southgate to step down as England manager. However, Carragher defended Southgate, arguing that the blame shouldn’t always fall on the manager.
