Should have, would have, could have don't count, though do they. Whether or not you are regarded as the "best" team in the competition, you have to go out and perform or you end up regretting it as England did in that final.
That said, I agree with OLM that Southgate was overall very good for England. Not sure we can take reaching the latter stages of tournaments for granted much longer - who's stepping into Kane's shoes when he retires from International football?
Well McBurnie has already played for Scotland so that rules him out
I think part of England's problem is they keep getting piss easy qualifying groups and it comes as a shock when we have to play good teams.
