Southgate is a poor tactician and he has messed up at crucial moments but the pile on which will become abusive is totally uncalled for. 
 

He’s done some very good things with the England set up. On a personal level, he must be mentally frazzled and gutted right now

Palmer would be the best choice to be given 1st 11 opportunity.  Despite he is so tall ,he can hold the ball ,ambitious and so talented. He will be big player .

We’ve been forever losers for nearly 60 years now, it’s the England way.

 

We’ve had much better managers than Southgate since 66 and always come up short.

 

Fear of failure, unrealistic expectations, too much club football, the excuses are endless. 

Pick yourself up mate, we are so close to victory. We've lost it in tiny moments against the best teams.

 

I'm not getting into a discussion about managers. 4 Semis in a row and 2 finals, it is an unbelievable level to where we where before, this is a complex game.

 

All it has come between the teams is one moment; one run, one ball. Whoever the manager is, in future this is of tremendous importance, we cannot keep losing at this stage; we know Spain, we know Italy, we know Argentina, we know what they are about, we know how they do things. The only way we conquer them is bettering these moments.

 

**** them all. No pleasantries. We want the gold. Victory will conquer fear, the world fears England when we're at our best, just listen to them all celebrate.

 

Do not give in. It will happen.

Haha what you meant to say is that I’m right and you know it lol 

 

Just looking back at the goals. Might be over critical here but I think Pickford has dived the wrong way for both of their goals.

Probably an exaggeration but so many Man City players fail to deliver on international stage. Minus Rodri obviously lol

I mean … they looked much better without him lol

I don’t think England have ever beaten a World Cup winning nation in the knockout rounds on foreign soil.

Uruguay - Never beaten them in a competitive game 

 

France - Nope, unless you count La Tournoi

 

Italy - Nope, unless you count La Tournoi

 

Brazil - Nope, we’ve only beaten them 4 times as well! 

 

Germany - Nope.

 

Argentina - Nope. 

 

Spain - Once, 8th May 1968! 
 

Crazy that!

8 Months ago, Switzerland were struggling. Their manager Murat Yakin brought in a new assistant who was well known for tactical play and a more modern setup. We saw the fruits of that appointment in this tournament.

 

Southgate is a very good man-manager, but tactically he's out of his depth. If he brought in someone stong in this area and listened to them, he could do well.

 

The FA should study tapes of this Spain team. England have the players to play the way they do, with Mainoo the real revelation in a player that finally can keep and turn out of pressure at the elite level. England playing in a systematic way like this Spanish team do would be a lethal force.

 

Congratulations to Spain who well and truly deserved to win this tournament. Great to watch, brilliantly coached and announcing a few players onto the world stage.

After completing dominating for 45 minutes then trying to see the next 45 out.
