Perspective, thank you. Why are people acting as if England are perennial winners? The progress England have made since 2016 has been nothing but exceptional and Southgate is key to this. England were fine and got beaten by a better Italian side, and even then it was too close to call right until the very last kick. I'm not putting the blame on Rashford but a few more inches to the middle on his penalty and chances are we wouldn't be having this so-called debate.Wow the first manager to get England to a major final in 50 plus years and you’re calling for his head you spoilt bastards.
His formation was fine and he changed it, Italy are just a good team.
It went to penalties, two of the best teams on penalties in the final.
At the start of the tournament if someone said to me I’ll give you penalties in the final every single one of us snaps their hand off it’s just a shame the Man Utd boys let us down.
More to come.
England will learn from this and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they go all the way next year in the World Cup.
