Spain beat the three favourites which is kind of impressive maybe if you’re into that sort of thing.

Hope the Basque separatists bomb Madrid and there’s a rice famine. Oooh we pass the ball really well and have loads of pace out wide. Pathetic. It was our time to win it on Hitler’s turf and they should have appreciated that.

They were very good though, so there’s that.

Southgate: "... there was a lot on Kane's shoulders at this tournament..."

Yes - but you didn't help lighten his load ... in fact, the opposite

He might not have been fully fit, or he's now just that slow - either way it was his 'game time' that needed managing, not that of the younger players ...

... and you also played a system that really exposed his lack of mobility and left him to be bullied by younger defenders ... but more so, you had players in Watkins and Toney far better suited to that system ... but were too stubborn to both admit it and to give them a proper opportunity

As for Harry - he'll get his long sought after trophy at Bayern, I'm sure - and deservedly so...

He’s a problem rather than the only problem. He’s been gifted runs of teams other England teams and managers would have got through too and been bailed out by individual brilliance when we were two minutes from a result worse than Iceland. There was nothing to fear at this tournament and again he’s played to not lose as soon as we face a good side- a side not close to as good as some of the best international sides down the years. He’s drab. His tactics are drab. His blind loyalty to ****ing Kane was drab.
