    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.

    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.

    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.
