    It’s frustrating because England played really well in the first half when they were playing positive and moving the ball quickly. And they’ve got the players to do that successfully.

    Why don’t they do that all the time?

      I think they actually could and win the entire thing but Southgate has them drilled to only attacking in certain situations and he seems happy with even when almost anyone else would want to be at least 2 goals up.

      I don’t think anyone can deny England have amazing players the trouble is they only play when it meets Southgates OK.

      I fully expect them to get knocked out by a late goal or one on extra time. I think the strategy mad and if it actually pays off I’ll be shocked.
