Yeah I think you’re right there was a lot of chat around that being the reason he should be called up ahead of Watkins, he could be using Watkins on the left or through the middle I just find it bizarre how a guy who’s scored soQuote:

TAA now. He’s bringing on the penalty takers.

If Gareth Southgate was in an adult movie, he’d actually just fix the plumbing and leave.
Fairly dull game. At least penalties brings some excitement
Every year I start off thinking England are 'just another team' then I endure a few minutes of British TV commentary and am gasping for them to lose. Every single time.

Genuinely surprised they didn’t play for the draw on the coin toss.

How cool was that.
That's the Swiss out.
Bring on Shaqiri then Akanji takes first pen??
Glad for Saka.
This goalie isn't going to save anything here

You don’t get to a semi final at this level purely on luck. The team misfires but they have so many talented players to overcome that.Quote:

Think losing to the other two teams in our group had more to do with us being out. :greengrinQuote:

That's the nature of football management.Quote:

Credit to Southgate. He takes a lot of flak but he's got a very fine record as England boss.
Of course not. Playing to their audience. And now we can enjoy 90 / 120 mins of ITV supporting the Turks, and celebrating every yellow / red the Dutch can muster.Quote:

They were covering the England game. Why would they start covering the game another channel is showing?Quote:

Had we progressed to the semi, it would have been big news and it would have been generally welcomed.
