Finland lost to Wales 3-1 and ended up in 2nd place in their group.

Finland stays in League B, while Wales is promoted to League A.

Quite a bit of surprises in National League already:

France loses to Denmark at home, England loses to Hungary, Belgium gets completely mauled by Netherlands...

Kevin Keegan retired from football in 1984, England haven't produced a better player than him since then.

We just don't produce the best players in the World anymore like we used to. Gascoigne had the potential to be but he didn't have the mentality for it.

Shearer, Beckham and Rooney were great players but they were never close to being the best in the World.

We're an average football nation now when once we were the top dogs.

That doesn't mean we produce the best players in the World, that just means we had a decent months football as a team. Any team can have a decent month. Greece won that title in 2004. I'm talking about producing the Messi's and Ronaldo's of their time.

Not since Kevin Keegan can England have a reasonable claim to have the best player in the World. And before Keegan players such as Dixie Dean, Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney, Bobby Charlton, Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Moore and even Duncan Edwards who died aged 21 were all considered the very elite of World players at some point in their careers.

Since Keegan no English player has been seen as having a reasonable shout as being the best player in the World. In the 80s Bryan Robson and Gary Lineker were never seen at the same level as Maradona, Platini or Van Basten. In the 90s and early 2000s, Shearer and Beckham were never seen at the same level as Brazilian Ronaldo or Zidane and since then Gerrard and Rooney were never at the level of Messi and Ronaldo.

Shearer is probably the best player England produced since Keegan and he was never considered the best in the World at any point of his career, nor was Gascoigne, nor was Beckham, nor was Rooney, nor is Kane.

If most of the best football historians picked the top ten English players ever you'd be lucky to have one player post Kevin Keegan in that list.

I will say that had it not been for injuries that Michael Owen maybe could have gone onto be considered the best in the World but it just didn't happen for him.

Belgium wasn't too bad but we dutch were just too solid in our own gameplay

+ Cillessen whom made quite a few great saves

Virgil whom probably wanted to give his all before now going on summer holiday



we might do worse now against Wales with different players here and there i think

We need to get rid of Southgate and replace him with Howe or Potter


We were horrendous last night .. again


He is tactically inept

In the final with Italy
.. Mancini made tactical changes ..

Check out the last 10 mins of the first half then the first 20 mins of the second half
Southgate had no answers

I watched his post match interview today, and the first thing he talked about were the Hungarian fans and them booing taking the knee. Secondary to that was how the team actually played I think that says it all really

You won't get an aspiring club manager take on the England job, realistically it will always be someone at the end of their career or someone pretty unproven like Southgate was

Steve McClaren as a interim manager while they can search for a permanent new manager to lead them at the world cup

he has previous england team experience too so
