England could've won at least two trophies if he hadn't been so negative in his selections and substitutions, the squad of players that he had at his disposal was second to none, but he chose to play the wrong players in the wrong system.
Thanks Gareth, but you fell short due to your tactics!
I really liked what the Prince of Wales said to him. I think it summed it up nicely.
"Gareth, I want to thank you - not as the President of the FA, but as an England fan.
Thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s finest in 2024. Thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. And thank you for being an all-round class act.
You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. W."
It seemed he had very talented footballers in the squad. (Very nice lads, apparently)
But, from the bits I could bear to watch, no one on the pitch did anything. I felt that once England scored to equalise they were hanging on for a penalty shootout. Which they have become better at.
Southgate is all about being a nice guy, which is wonderful, but it doesn't win trophies.
