The best team won, simple as that. England remain a collection of great players who just cannot handle the pressure enough to win tournaments.
For this side to win anything we need a number 6 and a better goalkeeper. Pickford is a good shot stopper but when you look at Simon's distribution in comparison he's a major weakness. When you struggle to keep the ball the last thing you need is someone who just punts it straight back to them.
The fallout could be substantial from this. Kane wasn't right, I'm certain he had an issue. And I would imagine someone in the squad takes a pop about it.
The FA needs to hire a winner now. I have a lot of time for Southgate as a person but this group needs to be led by a seasoned winner. We might get on better than ever but we've missed two chances to win now and when you look around Europe it's only going to get harder to win things with the improvement from other sides.
I’ve heard all the pundits & English ex pros thoughts & none of them have nailed it like you. A keeper that gives it away with every kick & a 6 who hides from the ball when his defence have it.
Its fucking basic knowledge for controlling a game.
