9 goals in the group stage, similar to the last world cup. More goals than England scored at the 2014 (2), 2010 (3), 2006 (6) and 2002 (6) world cups put together. But, sure, Southgate’s a negative, defensive manager who plays with the handbrake on.
To be fair, Sven was very negative in his mindset, and the 2010 and 2014 squads were poor and mismanaged.
