Absolutely (except her name is Sarina!) and let's not forget that the USA national team recruited IMO the best female coach in world football, Englishwoman Emma Hayes, and she led them to an Olympic gold medal.
I can imagine that being copied to some Scottish fans forum followed by a line of laughing emojis.
With the players we currently have we are a country that should be quarter finals of major tournaments absolute minimum, but, in reality should be final 4. We have, however, no God given rights to beat the likes of France and Spain (in Euros or WC), Argentina or Brazil. So in that respect Southgate achieved exactly to our potential, and multiple times.
If your overriding tactic is to play out from the back, Jason Steele is a perfect example of a player who should play rather than Pickford or Pope.
100% which is why De Zerbi used him so much. But I don't see Tuchel playing prime RDZ ball.
Exactly. Pick a formation, tactics and style (with in-built flexibility) and then pick the players to implement the plan. FFS avoid the endless Gerrard /Lampard, Foden/Bellingham wankfests. If a big name (or several) needs to be jettisoned then so be it.
Unfortunately opposition players like to shoot at the goal.
Ok so that's one person. Can we get a few thousand more so we can state it as what England fans thought?
Why the f*** not! He’s definitely the best English keeper with a ball at his feet. It’s an example of where the national team always f***ing fails. IF (IF) a national coach wants the keeper to be a playmaker then don’t play Pickford, Pope et al and if Jason Steele (a premier league keeper) is the only choice… f***ing PLAY HIM
slight misrepresentation of what I said, i'm not merely cherry picking specific games, I am saying I only consider performances at tournaments disregarding qualifying. I don't see how, post poor tournament and assesing what went wrong, how we qualified for said tournament bears any relevance.If you're going to base your opinion on just the 4 games of one tournament and not consider the other 38 of the 42 games that Capello took charge of, then I'd politely suggest that that you're picking and choosing to fit your argument.
But I'll play along. Seeing as it's Germany we eventually went out to in that 2010 tournament, let's use that country with another of England's foreign managers. Having seen the Albion lose at Sixfields the night before, I was there in Munich and witnessed England's 1-5 win firsthand. So using your style of argument, I'm just going to pick one game to say that Sven was our greatest ever manager because it was probably our greatest ever away win and especially the context in which we did it. What do you mean when you say that's unrealistic to ignore the other 66 games that Sven took charge of? That doesn't matter - I'm just going to pick the one I like the most to fit.
Now I don't know how long your lifetime has been, but as disappointing as 2010's exit was despite not losing a group game, it wasn't the worst.
In the 20 years and 10 tournaments after Euro 96 and before Southgate took charge , here's how we did with the manager in charge.
WC 1998 - R16 (Hoddle)
Euro 2000 - Group (Keegan)
WC 2002 - QF (Eriksson)
Euro 2004 - QF (Eriksson)
WC 2006 - QF (Eriksson)
Euro 2008 - Did Not Qualify (McClaren)
WC 2010 - R16 (Capello)
Euro 2012 - QF (Hodgson)
WC 2014 - Group (Hodgson)
Euro 2016 - R16 (Hodgson)
The 4 tournaments with foreign managers? 3 QF and 1 R16.
The 6 tournaments with English managers? 1 QF, 2 R16, 2 Group and 1 DNQ.
So the foreign manager experiment didn't fail then. Very much the opposite.
Quite simple really. Football (mens) is the National Sport. It carries more weight, more history, and more fans than the rest of the sports you list put together. It means more to more people.
It would be strange, but given the actual individual, it was entirely predicted.
Ah yes, the old 'Southgate is just lucky' chestnut, I beg to differ. Southgate's cautious tactics, whilst not pretty, ensured we won our group and hence, avoided bigger nation i.e. Germany, in the 2nd round = good management. Compare and contrast - Crapello 2010, despite having the EASYest group imaginable, still finished 2nd (behind USA), as a consequence drew Germany, and got thumped = bad management.
If you want. One senior player’s entitlement is enough for me.
