i pity them because they are so emotional without knowing the fact that they have been abused by the professional footballers.
fans can cry but footballers continue to earn millions.

Footballers getting paid millions = getting abused? What is the logic?

I do not understand Gareth Southgate's rationale to use the two much younger susbstitutes to take penalties
They have a few other mire senior, and hopefully more seasoned and less nervous less stressed players to take penalties.
Say H Kane, Maguire, Sterling, Walker, Philips, Stones
He was naive to think younger players are fearless and can handle the pressure better ..

He's must still be carrying the dark memories of missing the penalty kick in euro96.

WC in Qatar in Nov & Dec will favor the S American teams. Climate wise its their summer months anyway...so acclimatization is no issue.
the European teams will suffer...they are in the midst of their regular season and they need to get used to hot temperature.

Europe teams will once again become props to the stage where S American teams will shine.

Compared to Mancini, Southgate is a rookie in terms of international football management. Mancini has managed in England, knows how English players play.
Sure, England has appointed previously non English coaches and failed to sparkle. Its both the players & manager.

How many England first starters play in non English league? Only Trippier.

Jude & Jadon don't even get to start. Jadon don't start is good....at least he will be fresh for Man U next season. :tongue:

Look at italian team - Jorginho, Emerson, veratti are playing outside their home countries.

Sure English league is lucrative but such inwardness is costing them.

The italians' experience over Ingerland was obvious. It was really a game of men versus boys. They deserve the trophy after clawing back from an early goal.

But this english team is still young and can improve. I agree their lack of overseas exposure will cost them if they only play EPL. But more will play in Champ and Europa league and get used to it.

I think Southgate is the best manager for his country. Although he's tactically naive his relationship with the players and support from his countrymen are invaluable. The FA can always get someone more experienced like Holland to assist him. Bo pian... The other players of his generation rather be guest TV pundits (Shearer/Mcmanaman/Owen/Fowler) than take the managerial route.

Also I still cannot forgive Sven Erikson and Capello for squandering the chances of the last Golden Generation. England needs an Englishman at the helm
