I'm stunned that you feel this way. There must be some way for you to complain to the EU......though I will say that while we were the better side we also had the rub of the green....and I will never be ok with diving. And that laser pen basstard nearly took it away. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jul 2021 4.11pm) I think those of us that don't rate Southgate, this proves our point.

Genuine question, if not Southgate, (who I think is now doing ok as our manager) who would you have instead? It wouldn't surprise me if he got a knighthood if England win the Euros. You also previously mentioned Belgium and Martinez, I also think he did ok, nothing special, but though they were rated No 1 in the world, I think that ship has now sailed. They don't have that many top players, Hazard now seems to be almost permanently injured and the three centre backs are now too old and slow.

Games between England and Denmark for example, should not be played in London or Copenhagen, but in a neutral venue, there are plenty of them. This avoids favouritism, justified or not.

Yes, I'd say that if there's any time to pause the critiques, look to the positives and get behind the team and manager, it's right before the final of our first major tournament final since '66. It's often the English way though, to delve the depths of anything remotely positive and dredge up a litany of perceived negatives. Who knows how Sunday will go, and how decisions made on the day or prior to it will feed into it, but hopefully we'll all be cheering our boys on regardless of opinions this way or that. Correct, and I’m sure we all will be. I’m not a big GS fan but will be right behind him and the boys on Sunday roaring on them on. It’s a monumental occasion.

Absolutely mental last night. Been to 100s of football games, the atmosphere at Wembley last night was absolutely bouncing. Can’t see that ever being topped.
