England fans were so dejected watching Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal score the late winner in Euro 2024 final

For all of the talent and resources that the England men’s national team has boasted over the years, the Three Lions have not won a major trophy since the 1966 World Cup. It’s been nothing but heartbreak in the decades since, and Sunday’s Euro 2024 final was yet another chapter in England’s astonishing title drought.

As England made its deep run into the Euro 2024 final, fans across London and other major cities packed bars, pubs, event spaces and parks for watch parties. On Sunday, cameras were set up for the reactions from Boxpark Wembley in London. And when Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal scored the winner in the 86th minute, the watch party turned from buzzing to silent in an instant.

This was the dejected reaction to the winning Spain goal:

Compare that to the 73rd-minute equalizer from Cole Palmer just 13 minutes earlier, the scene could not have taken a quicker turn.

England lost, 2-1, and the Three Lions will be looking at a 60-year trophy drought when it heads to the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
