The long and short of it is that England has twice ran into the
wall of
Mediterranean football. The Foggy Island football that England once
played is thankfully gone. The English team is much more Continental >>>>> now. But in some ways England still plays old fashioned football.
Maybe
Southgate should be sacked after all.

amazing, Pelle really need lots of help not just with learning about
the basics of tennis but also football.
That is why I come to RST.
"England is now more Mediterranean and Continental style" HAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHHAHHA AHHAHAHAHHAHHAHA
Lol.
it like he never even watched a single England match...
Maybe not. But these pundits have.
what do you mean maybe not?
Lol.
It means:
"Maybe I haven't, maybe I have. But others have noticed going ons too".
Good grief, just know WE, ENGLAND, WON THE
WORLD CUP IN 1966, dimvit.
Wasn't that the one VAR would have taken away from you.

duh Guardiola is Man City manager not England manager, he's had hardly
any impact, he only been there since about 2015 too.
I actually was a bit skeptical about the mono-causal explanation myself.
But the point is: what I say is noted by others too. What the pundits
pundit, is really irrelevant.
That article is
like saying Sir Alex Fergusson who won WAY MORE TITLES and was way more dominant than Guardiola massively influenced England's level/style in
the early 2000's like when they beat Germany 5-1! yeah let's credit all England results and the whole style of football until 2020 to
Fergusson's Man Utd impact.
Perhaps email Raja for some help on football, didn't always agree but he
had genuine football knowledge/opinions, maybe he can explain the rules
and good team to watch to begin with or maybe contact Max he was a real expert.
even better Southgate, the guy who took England to the best results
since when, we, ENGLAND WON THE WORLD CUP IN 1966, should be sacked LOL
In the end, he sacked himself.
yes cos he didn't really want to do the Euros in the first place. The
only real mistake he ever made was going woke in the last Euro final
penalty shoot out, which was a shame.
Oh, he was criticised all through the champs for the way England played.
The worst hounds were your own press. Some of the criticism was well
placed too. Read the article I posted about the final, for example.
