Yes, I remain #SouthgateOut as I don’t rate him or his in-game management or selections, but I can acknowledge that things are going well and we do indeed have a chance against France. No we’re not favourites in any way, but we should feel a degree of confidence in our chances of beating them. If we beat France, that’s fun and we can look forward to losing the final on penalties. If we lose to France, Southgate can go. There’s no real lose-case here.Shout-out to RyanB with the stunning take that Mbappe is the new Messi while Haaland is the new Ronaldo. What next, Arsenal try to walk it in the net?
But pedantry isn’t really the point of this mail. It is more to ask why this myth has prevailed? The 1982 World Cup is barely mentioned without reference to Bryan Robson scoring the fastest goal at a World Cup after 27 seconds. If you Google ‘Bryan Robson fastest world cup goal’ you get thousands of articles all saying the same thing. Why?
I have started to warm to this current team – having failed to do so over the last couple of tournaments despite how well we’ve done – it just hasnt felt the same. Which makes me sad tbh.
In the end I am thoroughly behind Southgate keeping his job at least and perhaps beyond the end of his contract.Any one else thinking France could really mess with our heads and stick Mbappe on the right?Ally McCoist stands out as a football commentator in the UK for two reasons; 1) he genuinely does enjoy it, and 2) all the others are so dull and boring that he stands out by default.
