    Or maybe he is unable to sign his resignation letter until it's time to take his Pizza Hut paper bag off his head.

    I like St Albans. There's some lovely restaurants there.

    Yup. Exactly that I think. We COULD have won this tournament for sure. I think there is little doubt about it. Mentality, bottle, belief.

    Blondie song anyone? "Oh, Denis, doobie doo, Undav estimated you, ohh, ohh."🤪

    And yes, we all would have expected quarter finals, minimum. That's exactly what we got. We can be pleased in some of the performances, but we only achieved the very minimum in terms of progression.

    It's so different from club management, so it's also very much about the players an international manager inherits. He can't buy players. Southgate was blessed with a lot of talent in front of him this time around. He was lucky that he inherited the likes of Foden and Saka and Bellingham. I...

    Solihull lake

    So sad. When I was at primary school, a 10 year old girl from my class was walking on the ice on the canal and fell in and died. Awful that this kind of thing still happens. Luckily, it's rare, but still awful.

    Yes, England were poor, but through our development systems, Southgate has now been blessed with many excellent and exciting young players. He has been lucky to have inherited some top players. I definitely give him some credit and always have, but he does look short technically at times in...

    Pep has praised him incredibly highly too. He hasn't had a great tournament, but is a fabulous little player.

    I agree with a lot of that, but think Rice has been really good for England. I have been very impressed with him. Bottom line in all this is, we have played some good football, but would have been expected to top our group and would have been expected to beat Senegal. We have merely got to...

    I said he would miss it before he took it. As he stepped up. A few others on here said the same. It just didn't feel right. I also said he would probably blast it and if he did, it would probably go over the bar. You do whatever it takes to win. Any other keeper, then definitely Kane, without...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    This tells you everything. We just don't have the bottle, nous, belief or confidence to go any further right now. Remember when Spain were perennial losers. Tournament after tournament. I hope it will come good for England, but we just don't quite have the belief in ourselves Had we won...

    Yes, but then that in turn was the reason he maybe shouldn't have taken the second one. There will be no other goalkeeper out there in the world who has faced more pens against Harry Kane than Lloris. They must practise them pretty much every day in training. Pretty clear that the French...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    To be honest, I would have given the pen to the likes of Bellingham. I honestly don't think Kane would have been labelled a bottler. It was just an option. Had it not been Kane's own club goalkeeper in goal, then yes, 100% Kane. Every time. But I did say to myself as soon as we were awarded...

    Exactly! I really felt that he just would not score, because he thought he had to do something different, as Lloris knows him inside out.

    Yup, agreed Just don't have the mentality for it.

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    I am pleased with the performance overall, but we are just not winners are we. That comes from having a winning mentality and I just don't think we have the confidence in ourselves. Lack the belief.
