The exact amount of time the ball was in play during added time has been calculated and England fans are furious
England fell to an agonising defeat against Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
The exact amount of time the ball was in play during stoppage time of England vs Spain has been calculated.
On Sunday, the Three Lions endured another disappointing night as Spain came away victorious in the final of Euro 2024.
Goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal were enough to secure a 2-1 win for Luis de la Fuente’s side.
For England, their wait for a first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup continues.
After the match, fans were left furious after the referee blew the whistle in the 94th minute, claiming there should have been extra time added on.
Now, one fan has calculated the exact amount of time the ball was in play during added time.
According to the video, the ball was only in play for one minute of the four added on.
Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Absolute robbery.”
Another tweeted: “Blew before the time was up.”
A third fan added: “Should have been 6-7 mins added time tbh, weird how they got 4mins after all them subs and 3 goals….”
Someone else wrote: “I mean I wanted Spain to win. But the fact he blew the whistle that early was odd. He even blew the whistle before added time was up in the end of the first half.”
A fifth commented: “Questionable for sure, however, we still deserved to lose.”
peaking after the match, Gareth Southgate said: “I think England are in a really good position in terms of the experiences they’ve got now. The age of the squad.
“Most of this squad are going to be around not only for the World Cup but the next Euros as well. There’s a lot to look forward to but this moment is not any consolation.”
He added: “I’ve said to the players how proud I am of what they’ve done across the tournament. We fell a little bit short tonight
“In the end, we didn’t keep the ball well enough. We actually minimised, I thought, their attacking threat, particularly in the first half, but we weren’t able to play through their counter press.”
