Cliche alert. France never have too much trouble. Germany over the years. Argentina, Brazil. Spain did it by playing really attractive football.Yeh ok. It’s also very easy just to moan, criticise and say ‘it’s never good enough’.
winning a trophy for England is a huge ask for any Manager regardless of the squad players. It takes more than tactics and team selections to win, huge amount is down to the players, refs decisions, pure luck (hitting woodwork, offside by fractions, red card etc) so many factors - that’s why Man City with the best Manager and best squad have only won the champions league once in last 9/10 seasons. Tournament football is bloody tough.

I’m hoping low expectations could actually work in our favour this time around.

England's expectations as always has been never been so higher
Not on here, as proven by the poll - more people thought Switzerland would beat us .
They very nearly did. They outperformed England throughout the game. Apart from the opening miss they matched England's penalties.Not on here, as proven by the poll - more people thought Switzerland would beat us .
It’s mind boggling. I’m sure if City were shit there wouldn’t be all these comments.Not on here, as proven by the poll - more people thought Switzerland would beat us .
It would be like old times with the national side being some kind of distraction on how shit the situation is at the club. In comparison to the current state of affairs, City have really achieved and exceeded all expectations better than England by a significant margin.It’s mind boggling. I’m sure if City were shit there wouldn’t be all these comments.

I’ve been bored to tears the way we have played this tournament but his record is better than any other manager bar Ramsey , last four tournaments will have been S-F, Final , Q-F and at least another S-F , i remember 74 , 78 , 94 and 2008 when we didn’t even qualify let alone come close to winningIt still not good enough no matter how you try and dress it up as. Southgate didn't win anything with the u21's either. Plenty of golden generation talent in that side.
