TBF mick there were plenty of people moaning about England’s play in their run up to the final, I personally think Southgates record as England manager is excellent and some of the football at times has been very good but for some if you don’t win the prize you have failed, that’s the mentality anyway. Awful lot of crap coaches in football then if that’s the case. I’m actually pleased we are now competing on a higher level in terms of reaching semi finals and finals of major world football competitions, It’s not something the ” golden generation ” managed, despite all the media hype at the time, at least Southgate has pushed us on from that.
