Inexperience , naivety , fatigue , failure to get more then a one goal lead and to top it off another stinker of a referee.
Well done Croatia for reaching the final but even more well done to England the youngest side in the tournament as despite what some others say they certainly did not bottle it as our boys did us proud.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Southgate out, Wenger in.  I have faith in this team but I think they're capable of so much more, Southgate said the same thing. I just really don't believe he's the man to bring that out. Bloke has done a great job but I can't deal with waiting two years for him to be sacked at Euro 2020.
We can forget all this though for a bit and look to something else. This is the most united I've seen the nation since the 2002 World Cup. Extraordinary turnout around the nation for England this year. |
