Agree with this. Southgate has been very lucky with the way the games fell in the World Cup.
Relatively easy qualification group. Then only had to beat Panama and Tunisia to get out of the group stage. Needed penalties to get past Columbia, one decent performance in the quarters to get past Sweden before being knocked out by Croatia and people were carrying out like e nearly won the tournament.
Defiantly brought himself some time. How many more strange selections and poor performances do there have to be before questions are being asked?
Similar story in the Nations League with the last minute goal against Croatia
