100%. I feel exactly the same way and could not get excited about this tournament at all (or the last couple to be honest). You just knew that as long as Southgate is in charge we're not going to win anything.Ok. I will admit it. I am a bit sad this evening. I once cared very much about England. I still to this day remember being devastated that afternoon that England chucked away a two-goal lead in Mexico. Even in 1990, it took me months to get over that defeat.
Thing is, time is now going by, and I realise that seeing England win something is very probably not on the cards for me.
Because the Waistcoat is too loyal to certain players, and too negative to experiment.Playing without two proper wingers was one of the issues. Anthony Gordon. Why didn't he get minutes??
If Potter does get the gig, he might get some lookalike work.Southgate seems like a good bloke, there’s a multitude of jobs out there for him but not managing some the best players in England.
Hopefully Scruffy Jim will be on the blower this week.MacDonalds are always hiring.
Luck had nothing to do with it (apart from the fact that we were lucky to actually reach the final). It's a manager capable of coaching this set of players correctly that we need.Amazed we even reached the final playing with essentially no left side.
Spain the better team all tournament, congratulations to them - especially Rodri, who I hope is ok!
For England, it's another lesson to be learned. 3rd time lucky?
Yep, exactly this.He gave the initiative right back to Spain after the equaliser. They were reeling, and the thing they needed was a breather and a chance to pass the ball around and regain confidence. Watching it, reminded me why there is so much emphasis these days on having a goalkeeper who can play out from the back.
He's not average lol. He didn't have his best tournament but covered more yards than any other player.
