Southgate is a nice guy but I have zero faith in winning anything with England because he is a mediocre coach, so England will lose a game when they meat a team with a good coach. So I strongly doubt England will win the Euros. It is not his fault he is still in the job, it is just the English FA are not ambitious, brave or bold to make the change for England to become one of the best two teams in the world. Southgate is the English Marc Wilmots. Wilmots was the former coach of Belgium at the peak of the golden generation and squandered the talent he had because he was a mediocre coach who only got the job because he was Belgium, so despite the fact he had the strongest squad in the world, he couldn’t win games against big countries and lost in the quarterfinals in the euros to Wales a clearly inferior team due to his bad coaching. The Belgium FA where brave enough to fire Wilmots and say he wasn’t getting enough good results for talent he has and got a slightly better coach and Belgium started beating big teams and became number 1 ranked team in the world. While cowardly English FA want give Southgate even more time to fail and waste a generation because they think England is winning because of him when the fact he has the strongest and deepest talent England team in their 150 year history and is out of his depth picking bad players over players who have potential to be world class.

Why do you keep spamming this nonsense? Do you just like getting insulted?

@@GIBBO4182 Because I have to educate people like you, people who have a British risk averse football mindset. You need to be educated because you like boring, direct, kick and rush, park the bus, hoof the ball, TonyPulis style of prehistoric, fossil, outdated, anti football. You care about athleticism and physicality way too much and you don’t care about skills, technicality, football intelligence, teamwork and tactics at all.

@@thierryhenry674yeah, leave Rice and Kane out…genius! Watch out Pep, this guy thinks he’s a football savant! He even thinks he can pick a player who’s said he doesn’t want to play for England!

[@thierryhenry674]

@@GIBBO4182 White doesn’t want to play for Southgate and his staffs. England need a skillful, tricky, tekky, silky and creative false 9. Rice can’t do what Busquets, Rodri, Fernandinho, FDJ or Kimmich could do on the ball. His passes are not progressive. He can’t dictate the tempo like a midfield maestro/metronome, he does not have silky touches, close control, vision and tiki taka possession keeping mindset like those Spanish midfielders.

Slow, methodical, structural thinker! Great traits for a town planner not a frontline manager!

I don’t rate Southgate but PepGuardiola is the most methodical tactician in the world with structural thinking.
