The World Cup - 2 group wins against Panama (6-1) and Tunisia (2-1) and then 0-1 to Belgium. 1-1 against Columbia in the last 16 but through on pens. Beat Sweden 2-0 in Quarter-finals - our only win of note if one calls Sweden world beaters. Lost our next 2 matches to Croatia and Belgium. Played 7 - won 3, drew 1, lost 3."messing about with Mr Waistcoat"?
Southgate got us to a World Cup semi final and a Euros final. I know we all wanted the trophy but fuck me he's done a better job than every England manager in the last 30 years put together.
The Euros - thrashed Croatia and Czech Republic 1-0 (we were at home) Held Scotland to 0-0. Beat Germany 2-0 at home (our only decent result in the above 10 ) Beat Ukraine 4-0 - pretty good and Denmark 2-1. After the perfect start in the final, we reverted to 'type' and the rest is History.
"he's done a better job than every England manager in the last 30 years put together." What? !! Given the luck he has had, he should have resigned after Italy and someone like Graham Potter show the nation how our quality group of players can really play - keeping the ball for starters and passing forward rather than sideways. Bye bye Right Angle Gareth.
