Because we rolled the dice that letting them have the ball and trying to break us down would win it for us. It obviously didn't but I still stand by if we scored our third pen we're European champions right now. If that paid off he'd have a knighthood and a statue on the way.
He got us to a final, spring of 2018 if you'd have said we'd have been to a semi and a final in that time I'd have called you mad.But he didn't
What does nothing look like to you?Southgate didn't know how to change the game , he made the wrong subs , just like against Croatia in 2018 .
It's frustrating , but it is what it is , I'm already content that we will do nothing in qatar

Calling @Brighton Sky Blue
It's been done to death and I think we're not going to agree so will leave it after this but you can only beat what's in front of you and he's succeeded where everybody else in my lifetime has failed. He needs to get smarter at changing games and take us that extra step to actually win something 100%.He SHOULD have got us to the final with that draw 100% , the stars aligned after our last group game
Jogi Lowe didn't exactly have a brilliant club career and he did alright. A lot of countries actually do well bringing managers through their youth setups as it's different from club football.
Better to beat a shit German side in a major tournament than beat a great German side in qualifying, do fuck all in the tournament but obsess about it for 20 years.

I still don't care about a 1-1 in qualifying provided that we qualify.
Thomas Muller missing a gilt edged sitter at 1-0 helped a teeny bit
Yea , we pretty much always qualify though .. I'm not worried about that aspect ever really.
Anyway he's a nice bloke , but I'd rather he turned down the contract

I still maintain there will be a leftfield winner of this tournament, not a rank outsider but someone unfancied
I appreciate we’ve got some young talented players but some just think that you just chuck them in and let them play. They have limited training/practice time…currently meet ups are as regular as it’s been for a long time due to covid. Our top striker is bang out of form, regular recent goalscorer (Sterling) not playing regularly for his club, stones hasnt played a minute for Man City this season and our player of the year (Philips) is out injured. Hungary played well…like they did in 2-3 Euro matches.
England weren’t good last night but international management isn’t as easy as some are making out. Just look at what Erickson and Capello managed with a fair few established world class players.
I hope Southgate keeps trying one sitter though. On last nights performance I wonder if Bellingham rather than Mount alongside Foden might be a better fit for that formation
Scotland ?
I don't know, I'd say Denmarks was probably easier.Easiest routes available to any team at the tournament both times Pete mate.
Yea , I don't get it
I was ofcourse taking the piss , I see what you're saying but as its winter I expect a top 5/10 nation to win itThink it's fair to say that if they qualify they will be rank outsiders, I base it on a team adapting to conditions, Scotland not renown for it hot temperatures!
I hope the Qatar WC gets cancelled....any reason for the cancellation will do. Fucking joke.
They are devaluing everything else in the game mate, it's only a matter of time.I hope they cancel the World Cup every 2 years idea. Way to devalue the thing.
With the final at St James'No matter what happens it will be hailed as the greatest ever and pave the way for one to be held in Saudi Arabia within 20 years.
I genuinely believe if they pass it then uefa would break away from fifa.
It needs a bit of a shake up. A 2 year World Cup voted through by Rwanda is only going to push Germany, Brazil etc. Into something they have more power in.UEFA and CONMEBOL which comprise let’s be honest the only confederations with a chance of winning the competition.
