    While conveniently ignoring that he said Italy were the weakest team in the other half and wouldn't get past Belgium.

    I'd say he's more or less doing what was expected, a lot of England fans fancied us to do well this summer. We've got a blinding team of players and the depth to go with it in most areas.

    We're probably in/ reaching that situation that Spain had 12+ years ago or what Belgium had for the last 5-6 years, a potential golden generation. Hopefully Southgate follows in Aragones/ del Bosque's footsteps with Spain and not Martinez's with Belgium.

    Well he's reached 2 semi's which is a lot better than our previous golden generation managed, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Depth at CB and Up front as a CF is a bit short. We have loads of modern attacking options but could do with the more traditional big lad up top style

    He's a ****ing legend is what he is. A proper Englishman, quiet, unassuming...

    ...and a winner.

    You're a Spurs fan ffs, haven't you had enough of "characters" and "big personalities" in the manager's seat?

    None of those are my country.

    I support and get behind my teams. It will feel amazing if/when we win the tournament.

    I'm not sure I'd feel entitled to celebrate if all I done was always slag off my team/country and put down our chances all the time.

    It's not about predictions being wrong, that happens all the time.

    I'm just grateful for all the laughs you've given the rest of us over the years.

    I quite like Nuno btw. And his beard.

    I think he's done a fantastic job with them, never been sure of his tactical acumen, juries still out on that, but no one can deny that this is one of the most 'together' squads we've had. I don't see any egos out there, just players that trust, and will play, for each other. That's down to him, and in a choice between a tactical genius and a manager that inspires, I'll take the 2nd every time, and that's what we've got.
    Pickford still worries me though.
