Gareth Southgate Is A Gent
What a nice guy he is in the way he conducts himself with the players and the media
They will probably sack him but they shouldn't. He's the right man to get the best out of those players as England are not a top level international side even though they think they are .

Re: Gareth Southgate Is A Gent
Why aren’t they a top international side? Their main players play in some of the best teams in the world and Spurs.

OK. So what defines a top international side?
England got further in this tournament than Germany, Belgium and Spain, and went out at the same stage as Brazil, Portugal and the Netherlands. So if they're not top international sides, who is? Just the four left in?

I didn't say they weren't a top side.
Just that they don't beat the other top ones.
Personally I think they have good, but over hyped players, a bang average manager and are flat track bullies.

I agree. To have to face France in a quarter final was as tough as it could have got.
I thought Sam Matterfaeces was bang out of order near the end of the game to question Southgate's contract and suggest that losing in a quarter final was disappointing. There was absolutely no consideration of who England lost to. Tough draw.

Re: Gareth Southgate Is A Gent
Because France were winning they were looking for scapegoats.

We , as in Wales , did really well in euro 2016
We are not however a top international side
England are better than us
But not by a lot

When was the last time that England beat a world class side, or a 'big team' at a major tournament?
Don't dispute that Southgate is a nice guy, by the way.

There are some world class players in that tournament
The problem for England is they don't have any of them

But up step the big boys .......

I disagree.
Kane is as good as Giroud.
Saka, Foden and Bellingham are really good players and probably as good as anyone.
I think the English media just don't realise that other nations also have players as good as the English.

Re: Gareth Southgate Is A Gent
Saka, foden, and Bellingham arent as good as anyone.
Kane's penalty said otherwise.
English media - I agree

Kane is never as good as Giroud
Really good players are not world class tournament winners
England have a good work ethic but do not have enough to trouble the top table
Every time they come up against a really good side they get dumped out
For the recent euros England beat Germany before losing to Italy and Germany were poor

Re: Gareth Southgate Is A Gent
Southgate may come across as a nice guy but his team are probably the worst sportsman in the world cup. They won their second penalty but they weren't satisfied with that they had they to get the player booked. Every decision that went against them they were in the refs face.

Gamesmanship is worth a goal to a lot of teams in modern football including England
