Whatever happens, you would have “said it all along”
Hope we go far but if we go out early Southgate will be gone
Win Win

He called Greece winning the 2004 Euros too, I have you know!
Nowt stopping him being in the camp and around the squad is there. It's a nonsense.All this shit about Henderson being good around the other players.
Surely he can still go and be around the players without taking up a squad place if he isn't going to be fit enough?
What ever happens you’ll be glued to this forum debating stats with a hard onWhatever happens, you would have “said it all along”
After how he acted over that pen would you even want him in camp lolNowt stopping him being in the camp and around the squad is there. It's a nonsense.
Right.
Im in the mood now. Took me a while but bring it on. We're gonna piss it.
Even ordered the 98 world cup retro top.
There is absolutely no chance this happens, but I’d love us to go for the Barnsley method of a triple attacking change at half time. Start with Grealish-Kane-Sancho and then switch to Rashford-Foden-Sterling. Yes, Phil Foden as a false 9. Would be bonkers.
He’s an incredibly articulate and intelligent individual. Throughly nice chap too.Whatever you may think about Southgate’s tactics I have to say he does speak extremely well.

Dear England | By Gareth Southgate
Only around 1,200 players have represented England at senior men’s level. Ever.www.theplayerstribune.com

A better essay writer than he is a manager
Bit harsh, especially at international level. World Cup semi, nations cup final (for what it’s worth) and appears to have got players enjoying playing for England again. So, better than most England recent managers !
Soon find out tho I guess. Reckon it could be his last England tournament either way
I’m convinced that nobody could do a satisfactory job with England given the presssure from the fans and the press. Hopefully him being a decent bloke means he’s just getting them in the right mind frame to go out and play some quality tournament football.
You'll struggle to find many teams that have won international tournaments by playing pretty football throughout. International football is always more conservative and cautious, especially when so much if on the line.Quite. Fans demanding swashbuckling football - you only have to look at the fans’ pick of the starting XI on Sunday to see how ridiculous our expectations are and how lacking we are when it comes to knowledge of the tactical side of the game.
I’d be surprised if he goes before the World Cup considering there’s only a year between the two.

The great Spain team that won the World Cup in 2010 scored 8 goals in 7 games and won all their knock-out games 1-0. Even the France side that won the last World Cup were being criticised back home for playing boring stuff. It's just what works at these tournaments.I remember when Greece won the Euro’s, they were very defensive, I think they won the majority of their matches 1-0.
And this is why we wont go as far as people think. International tournaments do tend to be pretty defensive.
So naturally you need a strong defence
Im not sure what we have can be described as strong.
We will probably score 3 or 4 a game.
Thing is we'll probably concede 2 or 3 also

He had an easy route to the semis though
