What happened to the 3rd/4th place play off game? When did they can it?
Or am I the only one who thought there was such a game taking place?

Last time they had a 3rd place play off in the Euros was 1980.
Pointless game in any tournament apart from the Olympics where the winners get the bronze medal.

Yes I saw that, it’s great. All the politicians jumping on the bandwagon- Johnson, Patel, Farage etc, here’s what Southgate thinks of it all.

Taking football out of the equation completely Southgate just seems to be a thoroughly decent human being.

So much for the German Italy rivalry

EU president Ursula von der Leyen hopes Italy will beat England in Euro 2020 final

Spokesperson tells reporters that the president’s ‘heart is with the Squadra Azzurra’ in the upcoming match

Yeah definitely he seems like a great guy. It’s probably the most ‘woke’ international team which makes it a little uncomfortable for the divisive morons.

I love the way he sticks to his guns- the knee, his views etc- people say he’s soft but the courage of his convictions is brilliant.

He’s played it brilliantly- while Patel, Fox and the rest are now gleefully jumping on board, you just know Southgate sees how stupid they look with the backtracking.

Again- win lose or draw tomorrow he’s done more for the ‘decency’ of the country than any politician.

25 hours to go

He’s probably still traumatised by Astute’s offer to give him a lift to a game while going on about how but he was but promising to be gentle.

Fox was saying in another tweet a couple of weeks ago how he now `hates all sport'.

Him and Farage slam the door really hard on the way out to `Make A Point' then have to sheepishly creep back in cos they forgot their keys

They’re all desperately trying to cling onto what Southgate is doing. He’s a better advert for the country than all of them put together

Foden now “doubtful” for tomorrow…

Chiellini gave an interview and came across as a decent bloke, with some subtle words to put the pressure on us as well- seems a smart guy

It just so refreshing - and nice - to recognise the good as well as acknowledge the bad, and be able to feel a little bit good about our nation.

If we win tomorrow I don’t think there’ll ever have been a manager who’s taken over at such a low point and turned the situation into such a massive success, and changed the whole perception of the team…

.. apart from Jimmy Hill

I love MR but I think going from L2 to mid-Championship via the playoffs in one season is not the same as going from L1 to the top division as champions- but thats my opinion only. If MR took us up again somehow then it may be heresy to say it but his on-field achievements would eclipse Jimmy.

We’d just lost to Iceland, our most embarrassing result perhaps ever- didn’t Southgate step in straight away after that?
