England Fans Unleash Fury on Kyle Walker After Euro 2024 Final Defeat
England’s Euro 2024 campaign came to a disappointing end on Sunday, as they fell to Spain in the final. The Three Lions put up a good fight, but ultimately succumbed to a 2-1 defeat. While the team as a whole was criticized for their performance, one player in particular caught the ire of fans – Kyle Walker.
The right-back was at fault for both of Spain’s goals, and fans were quick to point out his mistakes on social media. "Kyle Walker responsible for both Spanish goals. You cannot write this script," wrote one fan on X. Mark Goldbridge, a popular online football personality, also chimed in, saying, "Don’t ever tell me Kyle Walker isn’t just pace. Both goals on him."
But Walker’s poor performance wasn’t limited to just the final. Throughout the tournament, he struggled to contain opposition wingers, and his lack of defensive acumen was exposed time and time again. "From absolutely nothing. Walker has been a disaster all game – all tournament," wrote another fan on X.
Walker’s struggles have raised questions about his suitability for the right-back role, particularly against top-level opposition. While he has been a key player for England in the past, his performances have been inconsistent at best. The debate surrounding his position is sure to continue, and fans will be hoping that Gareth Southgate will take their concerns into consideration when selecting his team for future tournaments.
