Despite me wanting England to lose, this is not a "let's piss ourselves laughing at England" thread. Plenty of those exist.
So what do you think happens to Southgate and what do you want to happen to him?
He has managed England across two big tournaments. A semi-final and a final placement is a massive step in the right direction. Based by just looking at the placements, you would think he's done pretty good.
But look under the hood and it tells a different story.
The World Cup had England playing in one of the easiest draws I remember. They got beat by the only two good teams they played (Belgium and Croatia).
This tournament (Euro 20) lined up perfectly for Southgate yet again. Here, they beat a big nation in Germany but Southgate didn't utilize what many believe is one of the best attacking squads in the tournament and got completely schooled in the final.
So in two tournaments, Southgate's England have a pretty bad record in the games that are not against teams that they should be brushing aside.
Would you reward him for the SF and Final placements with another tournament? Or does he get the boot and someone new comes in?
