This is true, England aren't massive favourites.Seriously what's with such absolute takes , let's Ignore Southgate competence or lack of it for a moment so you really believe England are so much better than other teams participating in Euro's that any thing less than a win would be failure and a disaster .
I'll say you are seriously overrating the Talent in this English team though they are good but they are not so much better than other contenders that they can only lose if they seriously underperform . England can play pretty well and still end up losing .
But I think the wider point around Gareth Southgate is how many attempts has he had now? Usually it's 3 strikes and you're out.
He's had opportunity after opportunity that have presented themselves in these tournaments and he has a very, very good set of players. Yes there are holes in the squad but so has every other nation, you mask them as coach and get the job done.
He should have won something by the end of this tournament for his reign to be a success.
