I hope Southgate owns up to his shortcomings in the final, he will get more respect IMO if he does that.
He must see that he got it wrong in the final. I hope he does.
For me, if he comes out with hands up and says he got it wrong in the final, I hope he continues and makes the necessary changes for the World Cup.

And that's typical England, trying to play it 'safe' instead of keep pushing and put the game to bed. It's almost as if Mourinho was the manager
I thought the same but is he is a good penalty taker in general? I was surprised to see him taking our second penalty. Is the problem that we have too many bottle jobs in the team who refuse to take them? Henderson etc?
Didn't think the ref was too bad.
The blame should firmly be on the manager who deliberate left 2 subs for penalties, and his two subs both miss.
In another world we win it in 90 mins playing a more offensive style and using 4 subs within the 90 mins.
Instead, everybody - commentators, pundits and us at home - we're all saying, "No subs yet?" "Still no subs yet?" "WTF Gareth, when are the subs coming?"
And they don't come.
Euro 2020 - England reached the final in spite of Southgate. With all the attacking talent benched until the 85th minute (or later!)
what delusion?
did you not watch the first half? We bossed you off the park. Then the second half we just sat back all the time inviting you to attack

Runner up is nothing. It’s a participation award. May as well go in the bin when your a sportsman.

You won't either.
Name the premier league's top 11 players you would be lucky if 3 of them are English.
Whereas name the same any other major league and at least half are native.
Well, at least we didn't have to watch Italy fake injury for the last 30 minutes this time.
That's because most of them want to play in the premier league so there is a lot more international competition. I mean, Germany basically just send Bayern Munich to the world cup and Euros.

English football is like English politics: lessons are never learned.

Not with this manager, if we lose you expect to learn the lessons. We learnt sweet **** all from that 2018 semi final nothing at all.
This is actually the first time we've fallen at the last hurdle!

I doubt he's taken many, can't remember what his penalty was like against Villarreal. I feel like that type of penalty looks great if it goes in but you're much more likely to miss.
Horrible lift, null and void it.

Not often I agree with you, but you are spot on here.
I will say that Southgate did well, up until the final. Then in true English style he bottled it massively and cost us a Euro Cup win that was there for the taking.
They couldn't beat us in the 90 and ET so were equal to the champs at least. I really do hope the FA crack down on some of our more lower IQ supporters causing trouble. The team did us great and should be proud its the minority of our own overly passionate fans that are embarrassing.

And the England choke mentality continues. It's in our DNA..
WE've been aligned on this for some time. Do other people see it yet or are they still saying Southgate has the master plan?
Vardy must be sat at home, rolling his eyes and going "I told him so last WC, I actually told him. FFS"
fair enough
