Doing well isn't winning us anything though is it?

Southgates negativity and lack of balls.cost us the Euros. I am absolutely caertain that if he had played an attacking line up and TD England to go at Italy, they would have won quite comfortably. But no, he made the same mistakes as so many before him. Go 1-0 up and then sit back and protect the lead.

I can't forgive him for that. I just hope if given another chance he won't make the same mistake again.
It's honestly quite shocking to me the lack of respect that Southgate gets. He is the best England manager in a very, very long time and is doing a great job.

I think some in the England crowd have forgotten the small news story from September...

England have been more impressive today than France were against Poland and Senegal are a better team than Poland too.

Some posters are salivating at an England failure just to say I was right about Southgate, Henderson etc etc.

Say what you want about Southgate he has done so well at major tournaments we are a genuine knockout team threat and its been a long time since we have been that.
England's squad is as good as Brazil's and France's, therefore the expectation is to go as far as possible. Anything less is a waste of the talent at our disposal.

How did I ever trust these geezers to score one? I would be first on my sweepstake with 3-1 or even with the lower scoring two goal difference.

Cocked it up :(

Senegal were decent first 40 minutes but Engand been very comfortable since then.

France will certainly be an interesting QF, would rank it 60:40 France.

and we don't like southgate.

Hopefully they both are gone by the end of this tournament.
Oooof. Well I don’t see the next manager playing Maddison either. Foden and Grealish are better and play in the same positions. Unfortunately. Mount personally don’t care either way.

The 2000 "its coming home" quotes on this thread alone suggests differently
And every single one of those 2000 quotes were typed with a straight face, without a jot of pisstaking lightheartedness. It's a World Cup pal, lighten up.
