Is it really Gareth 's fault or perhaps England just aren't as good at keeping possession, regardless of tactics?

I'd probably just fill it with all Spanish players.

Best team won, for us our best players over the 90 were Stones and Pickford.

You don't think he'd have made the final even against harder opponents? The dude is a machine and not many can out perform him. Alcaraz is something special and eventually will be one of the greats if he keeps going.

Pickford is so poor at distribution though
Soldato
We had some poor passing, that is true

Lmao, was waiting for this one. Sure it’s been posted after every England game.
Most of the players play for clubs that keep possession of the ball and play park the bus teams
It's the managers job to get the best out of them , can you imagine England under pep ?
Most of these players are hogging possesion with their club teams. They know how to pass, it's the setup and the tactics that's the problem.

Not disappointed at all because we were one of the most boring awful teams in the tournament.
Only disappointed how it's taken this long for wider media to click to the fact Southgate isn't the guy for the winners medal.
He hasn't achieved given this group of players

This highlights why I feel GS has gone as far as he can. I like Southgate, he's a decent human being but he's at the limit of what he can do. The Spanish go front foot, put their best team out and go for it, and they've done that all tournament. England by contrast finish with their best team on the pitch but they are always chasing the game, we can't put games to bed because of it, we never get the chance to.
Just my take

Is that a bit like the league cup?
Soldato
Better team won, no shame in that. They gave it a good go, what more can you ask for.
