Hard to believe he's only 10 years older than Bellend, stay off the booze kids.
I'm not saying Southgate is a good tactician I am saying he was better than Hodgson, which you claim isn't true. Hodgson was a car crash. You can't say we were one result away from it being the same as Hodgson and not accept we were one result away from him winning a tournament, or two.
Football is about fine margins and the best team doesn't always win. Southgate was clearly not good enough tactically, and hasn't stopped England losing to better opposition, other than the win over Germany albeit a weakened version.
Onwards and upwards hopefully. Luckily you don't care either way despite investing so much time in England recently.
IIRC Spain didn't fire Luis Aragones after 2004 and 2006 and he went on to win 2008.
I may have got this wrong but im sure i read that most European countries have many more 5G facilities per person that in england. Kids are still playing on mud baths.
Im involved in kids football.
The club my son plays for is one of the largest youth clubs in england and has no 5G pitch. 1000+ kids in the club.
The area the club is in has one 5G pitch at a high school , one pitch in quite a large area.
My daughter plays for cheadle and gatley, never off the news lately with its kobi mainoo link, again a huge club and no 5G pitch. Spoke to one of the coaches the other day, they are working towards it but the £500k+ will take 10 years to raise.
There are more kids playing football than ever before , its bollocks that kids are at home playing play stations, they are playing footy! Girls, boys, they love it. But the facilities they play on are crap.
My daughter went 9 weeks without a game over winter because the grass pitches were screwed.
So when we talk about english players not being technical, maybe playing on mud baths doesnt help
Said it for years. Kids football should be a summer gameAbsolutely ridiculous we are still playing kids football in the Winter
Said it for years. Kids football should be a summer game
So a German side who were actually weaker so we haven't beaten better opposition.
Christ on a bike it's like pulling teeth
