England got to the Euro championship final last year and lost on penalties. England were the better team. What went wrong was the the manager, Gareth Southgate, ten minutes from the end, brought on subs , defensive players to make sure we didnt lose.
And the match went to penalties, which England lost.
The problem is that Southgate has a yellow streak a mile wide on his back. When we needed a charging kinight with a lance charging, we got a mouse. I dont expect you to understand football tactics, but an England player never got behind the USA back line.
The instruction must have been to " tuck in", which translated means get behind the ball at all times. Translated again is play defensively.
In regards to the group, not losing meant England progressing to the next round. Hence the USA disaster. The past is an indication of the future, so if Southgate gets to the final, and we need Grealish or Rashford to win the game, he will choose not to lose. An expression of fear.
In any sport, if you dont go for the jugular, you will lose. Southgate doesnt get it, and England will pay. Before the tournament, there were calls for his sacking, it should of happened.
If the USA game was a one off knock out game, you would have lost, badly. Having said that, Southgate would have been in charge, so maybe not. When faced with fear, attacking is the way to go, its whether your manager had the nous to do it.
