Daaammmnnn. When you put it like this, it's pretty telling. You can say 'can only beat what's in front of you' but it really pours cold water on Southgate's 'success'
Wenger for the England job
Boss will get them the world Cup
He’s been extremely lucky in both tournaments he’s faced so far.Daaammmnnn. When you put it like this, it's pretty telling. You can say 'can only beat what's in front of you' but it really pours cold water on Southgate's 'success'
I'm a Wenger stan so I'm for this.
A lot of these teams have defensive/cautious managers, attacking minded managers can exploit that. It's hard to shift back into attacking mode when you're being overly cautious (Switzerland - France, England - Italy).
Wenger knows English culture, he's practically a London boy now. Great man management. France won't give him the job, England might as well.
Low key why I respect these Americans. Ruthless country as soon as you're out of the womb. England being too kind to the likes of Grealish, Henderson, Southgate, and Sterling.
USA 2026, written in the stars, if they get a real manager.
I think England should make the call for Wenger. This is the perfect time for him.I'm a Wenger stan so I'm for this.

This. Last WC they faced a James-less Colombia to win on PKs. When they got to Croatia they folded. Even lost in the 3rd place match to a B-side Belgium.
This Euros the only decent team the faced was Denmark and even then they won on a dubious penalty.
Germany wasn’t the same of old and even then the match was even, Muller and Werner score and it’s 2-2.
And this Croatia side is a far-cry from WC’18.

When you look at the teams Italy faced on their way to the final, if England had faced the same teams, they’d have been knocked out at the quarter finals to Belgium. Italy vs Spain to me was the real final. The quality in that game was insaneThis. Last WC they faced a James-less Colombia to win on PKs. When they got to Croatia they folded.
