![England 1-2 France - World Cup 2022 - Giroud's Header Wins It - Extended Highlights - [EC] - FHD](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YS88dpbyzTA/mqdefault.jpg)
Southgate bottled it. He always does. The momentum was in our favour after equalising, he should have been proactive with substitutions and gone for it. What does he do instead? He waits until the moment has gone and we've conceded, then takes off our best player, and tosses on Rashford and Grealish in desperation with seconds to go. Criminal.
Taking Saka off was a huge mistake. The French defence were panicking every time he got the ball.
Exactly right.. if southgate is so good why has he never managed a top champions league team? Even in the future he wont. Coz all the club chairman knows he is crap
Everytime France attacked for a prolonged period they scored. France was only in first year the entire game.
@@mh9tv He wouldn't even get a job in the Premier League.
Totally agree, youve got the 2nd best free kick taker and best crosser of the ball in the world in trent sitting on the bench, henderson was motm, he took the wtong players off, which is 1 thing, but he also got the tactics wrong as well, the world class teams play like that from the first whistle, not respct the opposition and sit back for 30 minutes. They werent allowed to play or get out of defensive mode until france had scored. A brazil legend recently said, england will win nothing whilst a coach choices to leave a player like trent out of the team and play defensive instead, if he was brazilian hed start every game, reminds me of my old team mate Cafu, cant remember which player it was but this was s world cup winner. His comment was not just about trent, that was just an example of the negative thinking he sees from england coaches, to worried about failing to actually take chances and win things. As klopp says, risk and reward, 3 out of 5 CL titles, every time trent and hendo played psg, with mbappe and neymar they do nothing, haha
Gareth Southgate owes his legacy to the luck of the draw.
Imagine that England had tough teams in the last 16 or QF matches of each tournament..?
Morocco and Croatia are achieving...and if either of them make the final, Southgate must go.
I've also thought that.
Morocco and Croatia aren't flukes a lot of naysayers said they were, they won because they played with the mentality to win with a coach that knew exactly what the team was good at. For me the biggest disappointment wasn't Kane's penalty miss, it was how the team seemed dead after that. It wasn't like France was puttting up a defensive masterclass (although Lloris was really good), the English attack just seemed dead and tired in the last few minutes.
Imagine if he was managing in 2014. Like Hodgson he wouldn't have got out of the group either because there were 2 big teams in that group.
@@mazdakmina9493 👍100% agree and also in that Euro 2004 game v France David Beckham missed a penalty.
@@mazdakmina9493 Well we didn't finish top of our 2018 WC group under Southgate either but we still went on to have an easier draw facing Colombia and then Sweden.
Also Southgate has never been hit with bad injuries before a tournament or during one, something that certainly plagued Sven. He has been very fortunate in that respect.
My opinion is if he was managing England back in those days we'd still have probably gone out at the same stages, as he's proven in this era, he still can't beat the big teams in KO games, unless there is a home advantage.
Just the English man I wanted to listen to. Spot on Simon, always talk sense. It is about winning, Mbappe made it clear in his interview, France came to win the World Cup as their main objective. The English press built the whole encounter to be about stopping Mbappe forgetting the world champions despite their injury concerns have other dangerous world class players ready to hurt them.
If i were French, and the French team lost, there would not be a single referees decision i could or would complain about or question. This game opened my eyes to a level of corruption that would put cricket to shame! It was rigged, VAR and the ref did everything they could to delay / ignore clear cut decisions that manipulated the outcome.
@@minaminx Nonsense, got awarded 2 penalties and still lost.
@@LostSpider clearly you never actually played football. bless
@@minaminx lol, really? most people have played football on their life, it is the most commun sport in the world, what a bold statement you make
@@LostSpider i stand by my statement
"We were the better side" we gonna hear this statement for the next year and half at least WTF
Surely the better side is the one that can find the back of the net the most? Yes, we had more possesion, but most of it was passing it around our own half and back towards our own goal! We cannot rely on Penalties and generous referee's to get our goals all the time. If players tried staying upright around the goal area instead of diving for a penalty, they may actually get a chance to kick the ball in the net! These players are getting paid hundreds of thousands a week, and demand our adulation. So get out there and start earning it!
Yep, same old pathetic England.
@@stevebird7265 Well said. the French left the ball to England, which was a mistake because they are not a great defensive team.
That's Sky Sports, BBC pundits & the Gary Neville, Gary Lineker crews who are going to say that. They are more concerned about Qatars human rights and lgbt BS than the country's football team
@@stevebird7265 Spot on.
Simon spot on. Stop applauding mediocrity
If southgate has been mediocre then I'd love to hear your classification on the likes of Hodgson, Capello, Mclaren and so on...
He has been mediocre. He has lost every game against a top 10 team for the last 8 years.
@MrAnotherworld23 those lot were up against formidable opponents we a not very good England team.. tit
Excellent awesome synchronicity of the kneeling of the knee. Well done lads.
@@anothersockaccount652lol How does losing against a TOP team make you mediocre? Again I ask you about the names I just mentioned, how do you classify them then?
France seemed like they could score everytime they wanted/needed
Exactly, English fans are deluded. They have a decent team, but compared to the rest, they are average.
And thats the deciding factor! France have proven world class game winners , where as England have a squad of over hyped players who nobody outside of the UK rates highly, for every saka or rashford or bellingham there will always be a better French, Brazilian,portuguese , Spanish young player out there , English media wont tell you that though ;)
BS - you cannot read a game clearly
@@mikecarlton9000 we don't over hype that's the press what's your country pal ?
@Mike Carlton comment makes absolutely no sense ha. Who are the rest? An elite few? England are indisputably a good side. Average would be sides being knocked out in group stages.
Why do people keep saying that England was a better side than France during the game, it's absolutely rubbish. They spent most of the time passing and holding the ball in their own half without creating that many really menacing chances, France on the other hand looked dangerous every time they got the ball and countered.
That's true
"Martin Keown's ridiculous wall chart" 😂
I know....insane lol.... last week when they were both on talk sport known actually mentioned "it could be a Ronaldo Messi final and what a mouth watering prospect that would be" Simon done this legendary grin and someone on the thread picked up on it saying " Simon laughing at Kevin and his wall chart"
Well i bet a lot on Uruguay to win World Cup.
Best comment 😂
Bang on Simon. Southgate has taken this team as far as he could and well done to him for that. Someone else needs to come in and bring the ruthlessness that this team needs to finally close out a tournament win. Not good enough with the talent this squad has. If you look at other teams like Argentina or Croatia, they don't have as much talent on paper but their coach squeezes every extra ounce from each player such that they perform, as a collective, above expectations. England players, on the other hand, seem to play at or below expectations. That comes down to the coaching and strategy.
Bang on mate that comment
Exactly. Southgate is very similar to OGS at man United. He brough the camaraderie and feel good factor but Southgate, like OGS is not a great tactician nor won a trophy at the top level as a manager. He has done a good job, now it time for someone more ruthless, who will get the team over the line.
The squad has improved the manager hasn't
i don’t think coaching makes you miss a penalty
Argentina have a better team then England tho
France was the first game that we weren’t almost assured to win, and we lost it.
Always the way
Italy
Croatia
Belgium
France
Anytime they play a decent team they fold
I’m used to it after all these years .😢
OR---Franced was the only team that gave us match . i.e REAL COMPETITION.
France was playing with a
Midfield that played together for the first time in a tournament. No Kante No Pogba.
@@mccleandazza4618 true but this england team was the second best team in the World Cup, had they not had to play the world champs they would have won the World Cup this year same with Argentina last World Cup if they didn’t have to play France. Argentina played France the best last World Cup and england as you will see played France the best this World Cup but that’s how much France is above any other team, France played their d game and england was gifted two penalty kicks and still France comfortably won, France always let’s the other team dominate time of possession
Agreed Simon. So many similarities with 02 and 22 campaigns. In both, we had the game in our hands. But when it was in our hands, instead of a brave coach who makes the changes to win the game, they are passive. The cricket team are benefitting from a brave approach, with spectacular results. Gareth has took us from rubbish to good. But it's time for someone else to win us something, hopefully in my lifetime!!
That's not quite how I remember 2002. I know we went 1-0 but I seem to remember it was a pretty flat performance apart from that. This was definitely a more impressive performance, but unfortunately the same result
@@Klinsmann1985 In 2002 the English team was much stronger than the one now and had a much better match against probably the best Brazil of all time who lined up 3 golden balls at the same time, Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and who had Kaka , Roberto carlos, and more... The match was very tight and the English almost took the Brazilians out if Rivaldo and Ronaldinho hadn't performed miracles on the pitch, especially Ronaldinho with his free kick but in short... In 2002 they were much better than your current team against a Brazil much better than our French team (yes I am French)
L'angleterre en 2002 a était la seule équipe qui a donné du mal à ce brésil injouable qui a gagné la compétition, tout le monde disait que c'était la finale avant l'heure tellement les deux équipes étaient fortes
@@jimmyboe889 I was more thinking about the way the two games panned out. It felt like Brazil won that game quite comfortably even with 10 men. (Admittedly it was a long time ago so obviously I don't remember it that clearly!) This match France were hanging on for a period so it seems more like a game England should have won. In comparing the two teams I think there is an element of legend bias there. You're talking about players long since retired so already part of folk lore. Not disagreeing with anything you said about that incredible Brazil side but don't sell your french boys short. They could become only the third team in history to retain the world cup, despite a number of key players injured, including current world player of the year! I think this generation of French players will go down as one of the greatest in history, and I wouldn't be surprised if this English team is one of your main rivals for the next two or three tournaments.
You will see England win something, don't you worry. UEFA Nations League B is not very prestigious, but when you're in England's position any title is worth collecting.

In my 36 years England 99% of the time lose to the big teams.
Germany, Italy, France, Argentina, Brazil.
Spain 🤔 not as consistent as them 5 teams above.
We just don't have that killer instinct unfortunately
It's not the killer instinct, it's the players.
I think it IS the killer instinct,though there were at least two or three squads in this World Cup boasting a wealth of talent to more than match England's.
The game was shocking
England not playing attacking football with that squad they have is shocking Southgate needs humbling
Problem is, play too attacking and you expose Maguire...
We scored 13 goals and missed one penalty in five games.
6 goals against Iran (who were elsewhere with their heads) and 3 against Wales, the weakest team in this competition.

Simon on point. 24 games against opponents ranked in top 10 under Southgate and only 4 wins in those games...
Because he treats those games like league games , Southgate would rather have had 1-1 and lost on pens , because its an easier narrative than losing the game in extra time, so because of that outlook when we equalised he got us to hold rather than continue the all out attack, and France called his bluff
@@steve10 ole Gunnar southgate
Games outside of tournaments are irrelevant. Friendlies and glorified friendles.
Because England just aren't that good..... its simple
@@steve10 What do you think is more likely, England are always tactically wrong regardless of who the manager has been, players always underperform regardless of the players or in reality England aren't as good at football as they think they are?
It would certainly be bizarre if the tactics were always wrong and the players always under-performed, especially when you consider all of the genuine top nations in the world have all been in multiple tournament finals, England on the other hand have only made finals when they've played at home.
Think about this... The ONLY truly elite team we've beaten in a knockout match at a major tournament was Germany in 1966 - 56 YEARS ago! That's one scary fact.
And the ball didn’t cross the line,Germany were robbed!!!
@@stephenherron8780 Even with that goal disqualified, England still would have won, it just would have been 3-2 instead of 4-2.
Morrocco have won more games against top opposition in the last 3 weeks than England have since 1966.... and if VAR existed back then......

Stop making excuses. With the talent in the England squad this can be called nothing but a failure.
You could easily say the same of the golden generation
Overrated QF level players
i do not agree. We were just unfortunate to have to play the world cup holders anywhere but the final. France capable of beating anybody in this tournament as they'll surely prove this week
The better side scores the most goals, France scored then sat back, Eng equalised and France upped their game again, Eng were not the better side, France were, they scored 2 brilliant goals.

This is largely based on jealousy from WW2 as England was never conquered by Nazi Germany. Much of mainland Europe still hasn’t got over the fact that our rainy little island was never successfully invaded, coupled with the fact that our language is now the World’s primary method of communication.
In terms of football we’re relatively humble.
It's so nice for someone to say it how it is. For a team full of "superstars", why do they never turn up? Because they aren't the world class players they're talked up to be.

Yet, they're in the semi final.
Team work not overated players like England
I always felt France were in control and could up the pressure at will, but they were just playing in a very calm way. They were missing 3 of their best players in Pogba, Benzema and Kante. We were playing defensively and trying to nick a goal.
I've literally been waiting since Saturday for this 😂
It's the same every tournament. As a seeded team we sail thru the qualifiers and group games then get found out in the knock outs. I've said for the past year and a half that if we couldn't win even one of the last two tournaments we've got no chance on neutral ground
The difference between Deschamps and Southgate. No Kante and Pogba and they still habe found a way in this WC. Gareth had a full squad at his disposal. He has done well but now he has reached his Peak with this talented group
Didn't they bend the knee well though
Was waiting for Simons reaction
Mechayq and Simon = Top LADS Proper Clobber
Every bloody tournament, "We're going to win.. its coming home" same old same!
So boring now.🙄
We were never going to win the world cup!
The script was written from the minute we knew we would face the French, it was all about how would or could we cope with Mbappe, all the focus was on Walker v Mbappe.
Not saying don't mark him, not saying whenever possible double up on him, and definitely not saying get a challenge in on him so he knows he is in a game.
But there has to be balance, otherwise as 'we' proved we go into a vital game on the back foot, if we had scored first, we wouldn't have gone for the second or third.
The cricket team has shown what happens when someone is brave enough to say, just ho out and play, show what you can do, and unless you make a complete and utter balls up, your in the team for the next game.
The subs with the exception if Mount were pointless, Sterling shouldn't have gone back, far too much on his mind, Grealish far too late, and overloading one wing with Grealish and Foden, not something Southgate has figured out
England had twice the shots but half of them were off target. If it wasn’t for the penalties England wouldn’t have gotten any goals. They looked good coming down the pitch but by the last third they could only try to come in from the flanks and couldn’t create anything.
some of what you say is OBVIOUS [ You know the part ] but i kinda agree with you on the rest. With the players we have we should have created much more , been more imaginative and more dangerous
France played a back 5 and England couldn't break them down, like Belgium in 2018.
France were playing like Italy of old. Give the opposition the ball in their own half, defend the last third like demons and hit on the break. England passing the ball in triangles in their own half is exactly what France let them do. And France stopping England in the last third is what they set out to do. A Pirlo, a Modric or a Xavi would’ve seen what was happening and changed tactics and created something. England don’t have that player.

SO so true. If we don't win we've failed. It's 56 years since we've won anything. Simon is spot on. England will never win a tournament unfortunately - otherwise we would have done so by now!
Yup.
What are you talking about? It took Spain 80 years to win their first world cup and they weren't saying "we're gonna win it this time" every time they had a good team, nor were they saying "we'll never win it" every time they'd get knocked out. The Netherlands and Portugal have never won it and yet the Netherlands went to the finals and to the semifinals more times than England did (3 times to 1 and 5 times to 3, respectively) - but they're not making a fuss about it. They know that's not how the World Cup works.
You never know for sure that you're gonna win it, even with the best team and the best tactics, sometimes you need a bit of luck and the coin doesn't fall on your side. You take it, learn from it, and go back next time knowing that the odds are *always* against you - whether you're Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, or England.
England have the most talented national team in the world rn (along with maybe France and Portugal). 2026-2030 will probably be their best chance since 1966 but with this entitled-winner-whiny-loser mindset, I'm afraid it won't happen
Never? Lol you have no idea what will happen in 10 years or 20 or 40. Get a grip.

if the Chelsea manager can get his act together he is in with a great chance
So funny listening to Danny Mills 🤣
France and England were probably about equal in that game. However in the fine margins, they have a manager in Deschamps who was proactive enough to make the right changes at the right time to get the job done. Southgate can't do that. We said exactly the same when Mancini's Italy side beat us in the Euros Final. Southgate is a safe pair of hands, he rebuilt the team and gave us good foundations. But he'll never take us further
France barely changed - played dembele long who is useless
we lost to France. 2-1. Anybody would think we had lost to China 10-0 the way some fans and pundits are goin on.
Simon Jordan talking absolute sense.
Please can I propose a major change in how we manage and play our international football in England. Look at the England cricket team now. A little over a year ago they were hammered in Australia and then the West Indies. England we dreadful. Since the change of coach and captain a new ethos on how we play the game has come in and has produced startling results. England beat New Zealand and South Africa playing this new attacking at all costs game last summer and now have won (today) a test series in Pakistan. Which by the way is amazing. Same players but a new direction.
The England football team needs to change its attitude to how it plays the game and it needs to get metaphorically on the front foot and literally go for it in matches. England to me look ordinary for too long in matches and seem petrified to try things. There has to be a change. I know cricket is a completely different game to football; however, look at the results. Change the attitude - take away the fear of losing and galvanise the players into becoming confident in winning.
If you always do as you’ve always done then you’ll only ever get what you’ve always got. CHANGE that is what is needed.
Eng beat Iran, Wales and Senegal, not good enough to win a World Cup.
Simons spot on massive wasted chance with the players we have , new manager 🙏
Absolutely bang on Simon. England have not beaten any of the giants of international football in a knock out round in a world cup since 1966 which is bleedin' absurd
I have a great respect for Simon.
When the pre-Match talk was there in all TV Shows , most English commentators ( i mean those who supported England to win ) were more worried about the French attack , particularly Mbappe and Griezmann and they said much of containing the french attack for most of the time. Their projection of the English attack was only after speaking of the French attack . Some commentators even called for a penalty to decide the outcome. That means you placed the faith on Jordan or Pope to come to your penultimate rescue with an assumption that Lorris shall make the mistake , and the rest of 90 mins + Additional time were already decided to be on the defensive .
In contrast, the french, were confident of their attack . They always had the faith that Mbappe or Griezmann would find the nets
With a defensive mindset ends with securing a draw is the limit of victory , whereas , it is always a calculated attack , built on strategy of assault is the path to the victory .
Despite the fact that the french attack was superior and more decisive , England played fantastically well most of the game and gave in everything ,
But the french were more confident.
I think that confidence is going to multiply and is to be carried on till the end of the final.
Based on this confidence and the abilities , i say this before the event ; Look for the match of France vs Morocco. France is going to have the first goal and when the first goal has come for France , Morrocon defence is going to fall apart and a blood bath of goals is likely to follow .
Absolutely spot on from Simon once again.
Saka taken off? Grealish brought on for one minute? Bizarre! Simon is absolutely right on Southgate we always start so slow, he has always been reactive not proactive. That’s the difference between winners and loser’s!
What was amazing was how quick and fast the strikers looked. Like jesus Christ ..reminded me of the movie shaolin soccer.
Absolutely spot on!!
True, in the last 3 tournaments we have not beaten any top teams. We beat Germany in the Euro ‘s who were very poor as the world cups either side of the Euro’s have shown and we lost to Italy who failed to even qualify for the World Cup.
Maybe we're not a great team.
I would say denmark were a top team but still trash history from us
Simon's right. We have progressed off the field (team image, comeradery etc.) but on the field we've not pulled off a single upset at tournament level...
Gareth has reached his ceiling I’m afraid, about time we get a manager to kick us on to the next level. Thank you Gareth for what you’ve done, but it’s time for a change
Thomas Tuchel in?
@@davidwan7603 potentially yes, I’d love poch but he’s not elite
Southgate has to go
Who replaces Southgate? I would 100% go for Eddie Howe.

@@pizzagateisreal PizzaGateIsReal = Top LAD Proper Clobber
Hang on a minute didn’t they score 2 goals against you from open play???
With France defence under the cosh and Mbappe reasonably quiet why didn't Southgate introduce TAA.
Accurate balls into the box would have caused havoc.
Simon talks more sense than most of the ex professionals who are frankly too timid to call out Southgate on anything
Rashford should have been brought on way earlier, Kane offered absolutely nothing.
As soon as we scored we should have brought him on, we desperately needed pace
🤡🤡
Rematch the game 🤣
Kane is irremovable. That’s why Southgate has to go, he has too many favourites.
Well said.
Can't disagree with anything there
Spot on Simon and talk sport keeping it real 👏👏👏…
"Saka never seems to beat a player"
Apart from the pen he won and the 6 times he was fouled with only 3 given. Saka was outstanding in parts. Best watch the highlights again Simon. The one two with Bellingham to win the pen was sweet.
Simon is such a clown. Cheer-led Tyson Fury to sabotage the Joshua fight for Fury. Terrible takes
Agree Saka was brilliant still shocked that Southgate took him off
This guy is the epitome of English sports Media mate absolutely delusional
Simon did mention before that Southgate has not been tested !
I love this point Simon made about certain players in our squad especially some youngsters. They play will for a season or 2 in the premier league and then come across top European prospects on the European and international stage they crumble.
So true.
Not a big England fan but I do follow the team. But as a big Arsenal fan the word ‘potential’ is haunting. We had so many sides that were labelled as title-winning sides in three years time or something but it never happened. I just hope England deliver the next Euros bc otherwise idk if they ever will win something.
If i were French, and the French team lost, there would not be a single referees decision i could or would complain about or question. This game opened my eyes to a level of corruption that would put cricket to shame! It was rigged, VAR and the ref did everything they could to delay / ignore clear cut decisions that manipulated the outcome.
@@minaminx 😂😂😂 COPE HARDER.
@@unclefester831 your easily duped , bless
Spot on again. Safegate will never win us a tournament, he’s had 3 attempts, I hope he now sees it’s time to go
Southgate needs someone to assist him in specifically managing the game and substitutions and reading the game because he seems to be good at everything except that and that's kinda important 😏
We lost to a French team missing potentially 4 starters in Nnkunku, Benzema, Pogba and Kante whilst simultaneously fielding our best possible 11 with a ridiculously strong bench too. We will not win a tournament until we get a manager capable of attacking a match head on with the quality we have.
Spot on as always Simon. Love listening to this man! 👏

In our time, we will never see England win the World Cup! 😖
The women's national team has more chance of winning a world cup before the men do.
It's alright, I've seen England win 4
Nor a Euros. England might not ever win anything again.
@@MG-hi9sh Southgate blew England's best ever chance since 1966 at the Euro's. I can't see the men winning a major tournament in my lifetime.
Why ? Jeez, talk about glass half empty.
Great Darren Farley impression 👍
Simon is a master of sneaking jabs at other people while making a valid point😅 ..genius !
It has to be said though the ref had a major impact on the final result, he had a shocking game and that's coming from a Welshman!
Always on point
What happened to building the England team around Jack wilshere, how did that work out?
Great point .I expect Foden and Grealish to go the same way. I suspect Sterling’s international career is already in decline.Same happened with Theo Walcott.
SJ nails it! 👍
You haven’t even had time to watch it yet! Was only posted 2 minutes ago! 😂
Agree with Simon everything apart from that Saka take. He’s the only one who is willing to take on his man and in most cases beats them or creates a chance.
Southgate hasn’t a clue at that level he not focused on winning he’s focused on his favourites
The USA has a term, Monday morning quarterback as we have hindsight. They also have the term 'clutch' which is the difference between a good player and a great player. Southgate has had six years. If it was going to happen it would have.
In football, if the coach doesnt have a clutch moment, the player wont have a clutch moment.
I agree. He has improved the England squad but he has reached his apex. England need a new manager. The two teams were quite evenly matched and it seems to me England lack that killer instinct that great teams possess. Missing that penalty was purely a psychological issue.
That’s why no one listens to Americans when it comes to footy. Clueless
I like Simon’s take. Standards should always be high. People should stop accepting anything less than winning a trophy. England should be about winning a tournament.
But we haven't won one since '66...that's like saying Tottenham should be comparing themselves to City or Chelsea. We're talking about different levels here
@@Stinkmeaner420 Spurs don't have the resources of City or Chelsea, your comparison here makes no sense. It's more akin to Man City not competing for the league with what they have. The English league system is by far the best-funded in the world, and the clubs are the richest in the world with the best facilities and it's a large nation of football lovers. To have a record of 2 major finals with one win is appalling.
@@BigDoniel that's great and all that we have funding, but let's be serious. Where is most of the fundamental talent coming from? Cos it's not from England. Look at the hype that saka, grealish and foden get. None of them are world class, else they would be chased by real madrid and barca, along with the likes of vini jr, mbappe and håland. Yet the english media bigs them up so much. Even bellingham. Ffs, the boy is 19! Who's to say he don't end up like dele alli, yet he's already being touted as future England skipper. We need to face the reality of English football. We attract talent cos of the money, nothing more, nothing less
Is it just me or do England look better when we pick up the pace and go at teams. We look pedestrian half the time knocking the ball sideways and backwards at the half way line, that just lets you're opponents get back in position and set up. France looked all over the place when we attacked with some sort of determination!
I agree with what you are saying. pussyfooting around playing triangles in your own half is not going to get you anywhere. As a hopeless amateur defender, even in pub games, I felt the attackers were the most dangerous at pace down the centre. I think England play like this
because they do not trust themselves to stop fast counter attacking teams, they act apprehensive from the off. I read that Maguire and Stones passed the ball over fifty times between them in one game. Southgate is timed beyond belief using his subs.
First decent side England played and they're out, easy as that. Subs made too late to change anything. With the depth of squad they have could easily have won it. Not a hard luck story, poor management.
In post match intterviews Siouthgate seems blasé about them throwing it away. wtf??
England have always had a mental problem.. When will they realize this game we call football is a psychological game. If they believed that was a Wales team wearing a French kit we would've won 4-0
Well said. I concur!
Just so true. We cannot win 50-50 games. We lose when it gets difficult, when it is tough, when it is the balance.
i think we are often unlucky. In this game the moments were all against us. The early goal left us chasing. The penalty that we never got. Even their first goal seemed bit illegal and that Pickford was unsighted was very unlucky. It's happened so many times. The German goal in 90 deflecting and loopng over Shilts. The hand ball in 86. Wasn't there a deflection v Brazil in 2002?
Great commentary, we can’t keep lauding ourselves and our national team for ‘doing ok’; at some stage they have to win against rated opponents, then we can cheer. (Even I, a naive and inexperienced football watcher, wondered at the time if Kane should take a 2nd penalty against his team mate. And his; let’s say it, appalling over-thought shot, was far worse than I feared. I only feared a good, or at worst, an easy save… ).
It's true,England have come a long way from their 2010 nadir to where they are contenders but it's time to make the talent and potential count and win a major competition like the example set by the Lionesses.
For years and years we underperformed as a nation, it turns out petty differences between players from club A vs club B vs club C got in the way of team unity. Gareth has fixed that.
Players now are performing more like a team. But we do not have a manager capable of making us a winning team. That requires great tactics and motivation.
Motivation comes from belief, and deep down I don't believe Gareth sees himself as a winner and a team is a reflection of the manager.
You have to look at the fact, that a lot of power houses had already went home, even in the group stages.
Simon spot on again. Best pundit by far.
"The French can't defend" lol
I agree. We should have got to the final in my view. Best/easiest chance we've had.
Great one Mr Simon once again
