Oh please will you all stop with 'lucky' tag. A team does not reach 2 consecutive Euro finals because they are lucky A team does not win 3 consecutive matches from losing positions because of luck

he isn't a tactical genius - no one ever said he was, but he understands International football where his predecessors didn't

Scoring in the last few minutes shows good fitness and battling to the end. When Man U did it they called it Fergie time, not that he was lucky. Cos his teams persevered and kept going to the last seconds, fighting to win

so whats your point then ? You don't like England whether achieve or underacheive

what people don't consider is Spanish players play their natural way like they do in la liga whereas prem football is very different to international football so they have play a different way that they are used to

oh i see, Southgate is really lucky, all other England bosses unlucky? We won 1 game and scored 2 goals v USA, Algeria and Slovenia cos we were really unlucky?

disagree, almost every team we played put every man behind the ball and played non football, the Netherlands came to win and was an open game

consider this: in 2010 Crapello had the easiest group of all time: England Algeria Slovenia Yanks Labelled "EASY", he managed one win and finished 2nd which meant we had to play Germany, who humiliated us Southgate won his group, arguably harder, so we avoided Germany and took the easier...

Why didn't the golden generation get to finals in spite of Sven then?

which team, Spain aside, have blown you away with great football?

So you wouldn't have picked a world class striker, a wealth of international experience, top bundesliga scorer with 36, could have broke the all time record had he not got an injury in the last few matches? Good call

remember when we were 4-1 down to Germany and Fabio Crapello brings on Emile Heskey in the 85th minute? That was after we finished 2nd in a group containing USA, Algeria and Slovenia? That deserves criticism There are so many examples of inept management decisions from former England...

You make your own luck, if you have more possession you will get more opportunities and the chance of luck is greater Same as if you make silly errors you get punished like Gary Nevile giving away a silly pen v Romania in the last minute or Gerrard carelessly heading back not realising Henry...

what about Spain in 2010? Arguably one of the most talented squads taken to a WC, yet they weren't pleasing on the eye, they just mastered the art of keeping possession and not giving their opponents a sniff. Most of their games were boring and I think they scored 8 goals?

it's called backing what you say with context, examples and evidence, rather than simply resorting to knee jerk insults

actually I didn't think it was a pen but you make your own luck. It was harsh but if you have your studs high in the penalty area, going into contact you are asking for trouble. The thing I didn't get was how the ref didn't see what happened?, everyone knew what happened, VAR made him change...

because Kane and Watkins is like for like

and so every manager since Alf Ramsey up to Southgate were all unlucky?

wrong, simple example / brought on Palmer who assisted, brought on Watkins who scored the winner. They changed the game / Masterstroke Fine margins. compare and contrast Sven Gormless Idiot gambles on an unfit Owen who gets injured after 5 mins, brings on Jamie Carragher (?) to take a...

No. His tactics were spot on, all the criticism was way over the top and in the end he proved the critics wrong We're in the final how can any England fan still be critical ? Just admit you were wrong
