England FA resolves to not win any trophies for the next 2 years. Tactical geniuses of r/soccer discuss how this is a good thing, actually

Good. He’s done good work with this side and there’s no guarantee anyone else would do any better.

I’m fricking sick of all the results-based analysis on this sub, criticising all his decisions on the back of the fact we lost. If Kane hadn’t taken that second penalty and someone else had missed you’d have shredded Southgate for it. If Saka had continued to struggle and not been subbed you would have whined and moaned about how Southgate left him out to dry when he was clearly spent.

England played a strong match against the reigning and likely back-to-back world champions, and were unlucky to lose. They had an excellent record at the tournament going into that game and did the country proud with a positive, attacking performance, like everyone had been asking out of Southgate’s England.
