Euros 2024

I don't care for England but I can't help but feel sorry for Southgate, just a little bit of luck and things could have gone his way. But he was up against a formidable opponent, the difference in class is clear.

Feel sorry for Southgate?

Never. He took one of the squads with the most talented players per position and

a. Played as many of the available ‘has beens’ and left talented players on the bench

b. Turned the team into the national equivalent of Stoke

c. Had no strategy to utilise the creative players in the squad

He deservedly lost the final.
 
Well, good news, everyone: the final last night means it’s just over a month to go until the real football that everyone actually gives a **** about starts again.
Rugby?

^ All of this.

Never seen a coach so cowardly and hell bent on hamstringing his own team for 70 to 80 minutes of the 90 just to maintain a status quo and not rock the boat.

Sadly, if Southgate goes, they'll almost certainly replace him with a carbon copy.

It's never coming home.
 
Everyone says this is Southgates last match but then he keeps his job. Why does nothing ever happen to him?

But why doesn't Southgate go? Its so annoying im sure if the English fans had a choice he would be gone long time ago

Because he maintains the status quo, and gets "results". He's taken them to 2 Euro finals, and a WC quarter & semi final. On paper those results are decent.
