It’s a quality squad, one of the best in the tournament, with probably the worst manager there. 

Who got us to the World Cup Semi Final and has got us out of the Group with a game to spare.A very young team who can only improve.Have you seen the chances the World Champions have missed today?Pope would have had a hat trick if he had been French and in the team.

In the World Cup we beat Tunisia, Panama, Colombia on penalties and Sweden, has anyone had an easier run to get to a semi final of a World Cup.  Getting to that semi final from how the draw unfolded was the minimum expectation, there is no way we should be losing to any of those with the players at his disposal.  We lost 3 out of 7 matches played.

We have tried that route with Eriksen and the Italian fella, 

I said quality......Guardiola or Klopp would get us challenging, yes we are not going to get them but there are other good managers with an ounce of tactics about them who are better than Southgate. 
Southgate is out of his depth but he has made basic errors....trying to take 4 right backs, only 2 centre forwards, he has 5 wide strikers and only 1 attacking centre midfielder, 3 holding midfielders of which 1 is injured. Then he rests champions league finalists but does not pick them, our best player in the friendlies has had less than half an hour in 2 games as he has been dropped for a player very much out of form. Playing players in friendlies who he has not put in the squad when it is important the squad start to gel.

Belgium (far from today's Belgium)

Cameroon

Spain (far from the spain 2008-2012)

Denmark

Ecuador

Columbia

Sweden 

Since (and including) the 1990 world cup, they're the teams we've beaten in the knockouts of either the world cup or euros.

Two of those were via penalty shootout. 

I think certain managers haven't been the best but we don't half throw the "world class" thing around too freely imo.

May as well not have Rice on the pitch, he was awful. The amount of time Scotland found an easy pass to someone unmarked in front of our defence was a joke. Rice is excellent for West Ham but naff for England.

 

Yeah, Rice for West Ham and the one that runs out for England is a completely different. I can only think he's doing what Southgate asks, because for West Ham I see him running with the ball every game at certain times. He never attempts to do that for England.

To be fair, our record against Sweden was/is absolutely rotten and so for us to beat them (and we did convincingly) in the Quarters was quite an achievement at the time.

Seems the only thing that stops Pope scoring in L2, the Bundesliga and now on the international stage is when he actually plays! England were poor, there can be no argument, but it's not the strikers. It's the offensive approach, as we've seen with Vale for far too long
