There is no way United fans would accept Southgate.
Last time England was entertaining Beckham was sent off for lunging at a Argie. Why I refuse to what this Isosceles school of football.
I didn’t bother to watch England because of the reasons given by others. However I support Argyle and will watch them regardless of tactics etc. I might not always like what I see but that is all part and parcel of being a lifelong supporter.
I was watching last night, trying to have a weekend away from the stresses of strains. Telling myself 'don't compare to Argyle, don't compare to Argyle, don't compare to Argyle' when my son turned to be and said 'they play just like Argyle do!' 🥱
Hard to drive any car quickly with the handbrake yanked up.
Have to say a few of us discussed the game last night and boy the synergies.
Boring, low risk and waiting for something to happen against Brazil reserves. Those England players should have been going for it but were held back by dull tactics.
Definite synergies between them and us although the levels are completely different 🤣

How do you include Beckham in that list? If ever a man made the most of his talent it is Beckham. Without his outstanding enthusiasm and willingness to go the extra mile the teams of his era would have been even poorer. If some of the rest of your mavericks had shown the same effort and enthusiasm they may well have earned more caps. I would also say that he is the only one in your list that was not blessed with a natural talent. He made the very most of what he was given and worked hard to improve it. He certainly wasn't stifled in that match against Greece when he covered every single blade of grass in search of qualification in 2001, culminating with that superb free kick.
Simple answer... Southgate ruining England and preventing them reaching their full potential (i think if we swapped out Southgate before the last 2 tournaments we would have won atleast one of them).
Ditto the above for Foster with Argyle at a much lower level/ standard of course

This is so tedious. Another excuse to knock Foster. Any chance we could change the record?
i think "elite" in this context is self proclaimed.pleased to say i haven't watched england for more than two decades.
It is frightening how both teams, have brilliant attacking players, but that we are both so toothless.
Apparently, Foster said England were "immense" and executed the game plan perfectly...
What the heck are the FA doing at St Georges Park to come out with such dull, boring and negative tactics?
We have fantastic attacking players but pretty average defenders, especially at CB. We're always likely to concede but we have enough attacking potential to out-score anyone. So with the likes of Foden and Bellingham, etc. surely England should be looking to get forward and take the game to the opposition.
Yet Southgate chooses caution every time, even against arguably the weakest Brazil side in anyone's memory who were coming off 3 straight defeats.
The upcoming Euros will no doubt follow what has become a familiar pattern from England under Southgate.
A couple of "flatter to deceive" wins to get everyone excited followed by a lack-lustre and negative display against one of the better sides in the knock-out stages.
The sooner he takes over at Old Trafford, the better.

The weather here has been indifferent this weekend - sunny periods, but heavy showers and spiky hail and a cold wind. I would have liked to have got onto some garden areas but very wet. So all in all, it has turned into a bit of a boring weekend - IF has a lot to answer for hasn`t he ? I looked in here to see `what`s on` I find this thread . IF stands no chance does he when some ( how many ? ) are prepared to `stick the knife in` at every opportunity - like a load of spoilt kids I think sometimes. I was going to reply to the OP and use the word `prat`, but the mods would likely delete that and so I have not used it !! Grow up some people and if the `caps fits` you will likely reply in a certain way !!
