Does Gareth Southgate deserve more respect and gratitude?

[TheBigIguana]

Knockout matches in major tournaments won by England from 1970 - 2016

Paraguay
Belgium
Cameroon
Denmark
Ecuador
Spain

Wait so Southgate has won in 3 tournaments the same number that England won in 3 decades? Am I reading that right?

For Southgate 2018 - 2022 it is:

Colombia
Sweden
Germany
Ukraine
Denmark
Senegal

So almost the same. Although both lists follow a similar pattern of England beating teams that are not considered footballing superpowers (apart from Germany at the last Euros).

I think it is very reasonable to look at club football and international football differently

Of course you do, because it suits this particular argument you’re trying to make.

Well the difference would be one gap of years is 4 and the other is 36. That’s a big difference!

It’s also reality

He deserves all the respect in the world for breaking Harry Kane's heart

Ya'll keep letting the Irish and Scotland show you up as fans. Get your shiz together.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news…

 

[the golden visionary]

Can I vote no again?

 

[MikeH72]

Endorse this lads.

Out as soon as we face anyone remotely competent once again.

 

[summerisle]

I really think this thread title ought to be changed.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Well, I for one think Big G deserves credit for nullifying the threat of a very dangerous England team and ensuring Slovenia progress.

Southgate has lost the plot 3 years ago he lost a World Cup final on penalties since then there’s been no progress we have gone backwards this team 3 games into the euros are nowhere near good enough there isn’t a team left who will not fancy themselves against us,

 

[MikeH72]

Disgustingly incompetent individual. The worst manager at the tournament by a mile.
