Even if that were to mean a guaranteed win at the next tournament? (and possibly future tournaments?)I get that people want Southate gone, but I still wouldn't want us to lose just so it's a foregone conclusion.
But it shouldn't need to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?I know we've been to a couple of finals in a row now and we should be seeing more, but England lifting a trophy could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a lot of people. Football in general has become much more pragmatic.
With the players we've got/had over the last few years, surely we should be in strong contention every tournament, and a win will come naturally. Not having to relying on last minute flukes, penalty shootouts and dodgy ref/var decisions to luck us into a possible chance.
