    It is. "The football can't have been turgid because it was better than what they normally serve up". No. It was still turgid. It's just usually absolutely eyebleeding.

    So in your metaphor rape and sexual assault is turgid? My point being comparing those to Southgate’s style of play is an odd choice.

    It's an analogy not a metaphor.

    The only comparison is that just because something was previously worse doesn't mean it can't still be bad.

    The playing style isn't the problem. It's his inability to change anything during games, which, ultimately, is an equally important part of tournament management.

    Well, I didn't expect this analogy/metaphor when I started discussing this.

    With England, we are dealing with a relatively low bar here, this is true. But all we can expect is improvements in terms of performance and results. Southgate has delivered both. Unless there is someone out there who can deliver further improvements, then replacing him is pointless.

    Agreed. He was through on goal, if he had just chosen to keep running.

    Why is the final kicking off at 3 when all the previous games were at 7? Caught me right out. Infantino has to go.

    I thought it would be 7 too. It’s clashing with a hurling match now so I’ll only likely catch the last 10 minutes.

    Taking time to think about his future was such a flange/genius move. The discussions should have been whether we wanted to keep him, instead he span that to it all being down to him to decide despite already having signed a contract to take him to 2024.

    I keep saying this: England do not sack people over an expected Quarter final exit. It was never on the cards for him to walk or get pushed.

    I always thought it was a bit odd that mostly because of the "I dunno Jeff" moment he because the butt of all jokes on Soccer Saturday then you'd stick Sunday Supplement on and he'd be there being one of Sky's best pundits.

    I don't think I've watched the Sunday Supplement since the days of Jimmy Hill. Cracking flash back to the hungover Sundays of my 20's.

    Sunday Supplement was cancelled a while back, a pity really as it was the only place on Sky where you'd get any kind of informed opinion. Goals on Sunday (which Ian refers to) is still going but Shepherd/Kamara are gone.

    Sky have been desperately cutting costs on the talent for about 7/8 years now and it shows in the quality of their output.

    If this doesn't go Argentina's way I can see a few meltdowns. Either way I'd like massive controversy, please. But more than anything, allez la France.

    He can win every World Cup until he retires and he'll still be a chump unless he goes to a proper league.

    Mbappé should join Arsenal. Would be worshipped by their mong fans, decent baguettes at Upper Crust at most major rail hubs. Eurostars back to Gare du Nord whenever he likes. The chance to own a team but be in a proper league.

    Instead of that he'll join Real Madrid, do less well than Ronaldo did (even a goal a game for ten years would be less well than Ronaldo did) and remain in the shadow of those before him.

    When Messi goes off to a retirement home to be managed by Phil Neville, he assumes defacto best in the world status. We'll only know the rest in about 15 years time.
