On the day probably down to Pep and his tactics, as he admitted after. Gareth just consistently negative and comes up short every big game. Unlike Pep he’s done absolutely fuck all as a manager to justify getting the job in the first place.Yeh that’s what happens in finals sometimes. Man City didn’t perform against Man Utd in Fa cup final - is that down to Pep and his tactics ? Or does football just go like that sometimes ?
Had England won the shoot out then who would give a care about how we played in the match ? Probably a few on here moaning about how we played whilst the rest of the country would have partied.

Just excuses that mate, big games and England bottle it, a lot of that boils down to Southgate.Yeh that’s what happens in finals sometimes. Man City didn’t perform against Man Utd in Fa cup final - is that down to Pep and his tactics ? Or does football just go like that sometimes ?

Fools and their money are easily partedJust had a look on Bet 355 and we are favourites to win it.... How?!
I don’t know to be honest. You could say Pep didn’t do a great deal before getting the Barca job. Generally though you’d go for a manager who’s got a proven record. Rather than relegating a team and having about as much charisma as Michael Owen. To be fair to Gareth though he got some great performances out of England in his 3 tournaments especially against the mighty Panama.What did Joakim Lowe do before guiding Germany to a World Cup win ?

Not if the rags come calling.Most successful England ever, apart from Ramsey, you English should give him a lifetime contract...
You know it makes sense :)
Sometimes you have to let people you love go to set them free.

Won the German Cup and was a runner up in the Cup Winners Cup and had won trophies in Austria. But he had a core group of players who were at Bayern Munich and had the benefit of winning pretty much everything in the build up to their World Cup success.
It was a similar story with Spain and their International success.
France is the outlier really. Deschamps is very similar to Southgate in that he's focussed on team harmony and playing for each other and understands the need for defensive balance and discipline rather than throwing a bunch of attacking talent together - probably because that was his role as a player.
Southgate has brought some brilliant memories and whilst we've ultimately failed, I've had some great times following England with him in charge.
I do level our Euro loss last time out at him, because he didn't change things proactively and their goal was coming for a while. It was a similar story to the Croatia semi final loss and he should have managed the situation better. But tournament football goes that way, and arguably we didn't have the experience throughout the team to get over the line - we dropped deep and panicked under the pressure.
His job is to make sure we don't do that in this tournament.
Unless you win a trophy you've failed, but Southgate will have been the best failure we've had.

He had an excellent group of players. He did well at Stuttgart. This is the team that won the 2014 WC
For starters our keepers are borderline Championship level.
