Danny Baker. Is that what it's come to?

Didn't mention had one cleared off the line to take the best team in the tournament to extra time.

A great team will beat a team of great individuals and this Spain team have been the greatest team in this tournament.

You've made my point for me by saying 'team. Southgate doesnt put his team in a position to win. Hence why they;ve gone behind in all the knockout stage games and had to force the game. HE then relies on players to create a moment and they did but its not sustainable and its not putting the team in a position to win. IMO that the managers basic job and GS doesn't do it.

Pep Guardiola has never reached an international final. Come back when he's able to.

Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney etc would do better. The team doesnt need Pep, it just needs a manager who's tactics are not from another decade.

Southgate on TalkSport

“ I have to say that we had several players out on their feet”

Tbf…it wasn’t the walkover I genuinely thought it might be. Southgate needs to go. Kane didn’t have his heart in it for some reason….something didn’t sit right with me.

They could get Barcelona’s reserve team coach and things would improve almond immediately

Look at Spain’s coach .. who is he ?

Bellingham was one of them out on their feet, but I wouldn't have taken Bellingham off, not when he has the potential to do something special. That would have been a brave decision to take him off. And he'd get slaughtered for it

He said more or less what everyone and the pundits were thinking

Foden and Rice were ineffective and careless with their possession and passing .

Wharton on instead of Rice at halftime


Palmer on in for Foden after 30 minutes

Toney on for Kane after 20 minutes

Doesn't matter who its coming from that is a great quote to sum up Southgate.

Bellingham is a better player at 21 than Zidane was at 21.

The World is his oyster if he wants it.

Bring on the World cup

[MTVN]

So proud of this team and Gareth, what a journey! So many great moments and memories, this is why we love tournament football and we're very lucky to have a team capable of competing

Wasn't expecting to win tonight and it played out about as expected so fair play to Spain. Already buzzing for next world cup!

I know he wasn't starring for Real Madrid and playing in European championship finals as the main for his team at that age.

Has he resigned yet ?

He's only resigning if you accept to take over the job from him. He bows to your superior knowledge.

My wife could do a better job than Southgate and she thought we were playing in red tonight

The thing is, I'm not even keen on the guy as a person. But in a results based business, he's done quite well. And your ridiculous assessments are making me have to defend a person I don't have much time for.
