That was embrassing. The French ref didn't help.

Doubt there's a rush for the job mate

It's interesting how Gareth Southgate has become such a victim of his own success. He's managed England to a semi-final and a final in successive tournaments, after England had managed only 2 semi-finals in the previous 50 years. Even after recent disappointments, he still has the second best win rate of any England manager. But inevitably he's raised the bar by which he's judged, so that the tournaments in which England performed poorly in the past or didn't even qualify for are now completely forgotten. People's only expectation is that Southgate continues his run of great success and he will be roundly criticised if he doesn't.
