can anyone remember an England world cup game where you can feel absolutely confident and no nerves..? I just went and made a cup of tea - never done that during play in an England competitive game before EVER!
I wanna win the group. Will do the confidence wonders and you've gotta beat the best at some point anyway.
Sod all this plotting the easiest route nonsense.
You won't be saying that when we end up in the same half as Brazil, Germany, France, Argentina, Portugal & Uruguay while Belgium get Spain, Croatia, Russia, Mexico, Switzerland and Denmark!

The best thing about it is we will know what half each of those teams will be in by the time we play Belgium because of being in the later groups.
So good to see a team with no apparent arrogance. Comes from the manager I guess, who seems unassuming. Feels like you can really get behind them as a group. Even if they don't go all the way, it makes a change to enjoy England in a world Cup.
I love Southgate. Doesn’t just say what people wanna hear. We won 6-1 and the first thing he done was say he wasn’t happy with the start or the goal. Even if we don’t progress far in this tournament he should be able to build and mature as England manager.

The amount of people moaning when he took over, I said it then and will say it now he was and is the perfect choice

Difference to Southgate and every other Manager since Hoddle is the fact he wants to do it properly
Eriksson was a good Manager but like the others after him, no one was prepared to do the graft and really study the U21s or deal with England as a long term project, more it was always about the next Tournament and not what lay in the future
Southgate on the other hand is the complete opposite, he doesnt just care about current batch yet also wants to ensure that the likes of Dasilva or Mount (who have trained with the Seniors) dont get missed
He'll be bettered tactically a few times by better Managers and opponents but be disappointed if he's not leading us in 2026 to be honest unless he does drop in terms of results as our standard of player is rising

Has he even been mentioned
