If he wins the Euros, he could ride off into the sunset as a true England legend, but I'm sure the competitive nature in him would want one more crack at the world cup, and go down as a world legend. If he doesn't win the Euros though, I think it would be best for everyone to start fresh.

f me i,m 50 and we have been to more finals semi finals and quarter finals in the last how many years than anyone ever call him lucky or whatever but he is getting us there give the bloke a break.And come england 1 more game

God I hope not he is a terrible manager. He is a good coach, not a manager. Players love him, he gets them motivated, great BUT in game management is terrible, doesn't know how to pick a team, it's a bunch of talented individuals following a terrible plan, then towards the end throwing caution to the wind and doing what they know what to do to win. Give praise for the subs? I was shouting for Watkins in the first half and once Foden ghosted for Palmer too. How he cannot see the glaring hole on the left side and still refuse to play Gordon is beyond me. Talk about experience? He was player of the tournament for Euros u21s last year. He knows how to win. He is just playing his favourites, even if it is out of position. Imagine what a PL proven manager could do with this squad of players and then tell me he's the right manager.

I am not English nor European. But please do not go too much ahead. It is time for him to focus the upcoming match.

3 out of 4 semi finals speaks for itself. Everyone will agree it hasn’t been pretty to watch but Southgate overcame the criticism and got the results

The most annoying part of this is that the last two games we've played in the system we have. I have for once enjoyed watching England

Being a manager ain't all about tactics just look at Ferguson its about getting players loving and wanting to play for you, its called man management and Southgate is brilliant at it

Ridiculous for Southgate to go, who’s the alternative? Someone tell me a good alternative? We’re not choosing between Southgate or not, we have to choose someone else and given the teams results since his tenure, he is still the man for the job

9:04 Jonathan almost bursted into tears when answering this question lol

If he wins the Euro, he should stay till the next World Cup in 2026. If they lose, then give someone else the chance, like Eddie Howe.

"Thats not how international football works!" - Some random guy in his bedroom

How can they think of getting rid of Southgate?? It's insane how good he has been! Only young gen want him gone every over 30 knows what a genius he is!

You can only talk about Gareth Leaving the job if you have someone else lined up that is tactically better and has experience of international football tournaments. Unless you have someone better, then why would you fire Southgate?

Ngl thought the title said "Back Passes"

I love Southgate as a personality and for the passion he shoes England, but I do think he should step down if we win. It would be the perfect ending for his tenure. Like the boys said, he can only win or lose the World Cup after, better to end on a high. Would be awful if we went out badly in WC2026 and that was the last time we saw him as manager.

perhaps you should ask the question AFTER the final

I have never heard so much Tosh from this article, fans and pundits alike. Narcissistic, Nihilistic Tosh. What an entitled and green eyed world we live in 🥵

FA love him. He can stay as long as he wants. Where would he go? £5million a year. Great crop of players. Who could blame him?

Regardless of how Southgate plays, 2 finals in his tenure the only ones since 1966 is an amazing achievement. Short memories from the old golden generation who failed at every QF…

For five millions pounds a year i think he might stay on no-one else is ever going to pay him that much.

No matter what gareth does he will be gone people are just not happy with him even

Southgate.. has become the 'Tournament' master class.. conserving the players through group, honing in on formation and increased energy in knock outs... its a tournament!! How many WC's have Germany won via this philosophy? .. Spain will fall apart.

It seems a shame to let Southgate go after he's led England to the finals twice, but his leadership is questionable. The players seem to do well despite him.

I just want England to win, so I can see 'know it all' Jonathan Liew shake his head in disbelief.

Good question.

Didn’t Spain and Germany DRAW?? They won in extra time

The players should want to win the Euro's for England, not Southgate.

I think Southgate should retire if he wins this… so much criticism for achieving more than any other manager for 60 years… If it isn’t good enough, then f’em.

Back to back finals along with a semi final and a quarter final where we were playing better than an on form France team. We’d be fools to look for greener grass after the way we’ve built and grown into this current tournament. Why risk it? If we had gone out to Slovakia in ro16, yes. Now that we are in the first ever final on foreign soil, absolutely no. Players seem to love him. We played unbelievably well against the Netherlands and with system/set up that got the best out of our star players. I hope we win it, and then he has to stay on. Remember it’s not just him, it’s his entire set up and team that we buy into, or out of, if he leaves. We had a so called ‘golden’ generation that did ABSOLUTELY nothing, so the claim that ‘anyone’ could, or should, be winning tournaments with this team is just not correct and us as Englishman (and women) should all be a bit more humble in accepting this, I think. Just an opinion. COME ON ENGLAND!!!!

he forgot to pick a left back

I think its time for him to move on, for himself as much as for a fresh start. But he's earned another world cup if he wants one. 3/4 SF and 2/4 Finals is an immense record, and the idiots calling it 'lucky' (normally the same people calling for the European Golden Boot winner to be dropped as he only scored two goals and a penalty so far) don't understand how football works. Is Southgate's football pretty? No. Is it frustrating? Yes. Is it effective? Clearly.

Start Harry Kane and bring on Ollie Watkins in the 2nd half to cause some problems for the Spanish 🇪🇸 COME ON ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Yamal and Williams will have it harder against the English defenders.

The USA have just sacked their manager - don’t be surprised if Southgate is linked to that role. I mean - he’s got us to two finals and the Yanks will pay him more and he’ll get less hassle. So don’t be surprised if he’s linked to that.

Lets be honest where gonna bottle it to spain

The hate I feel for this commentary is beyond the heat of the sun. Typical corporate spin.

Klop for England manager

Stay 🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

These pundits don't have a clue about the FA and Southgate relationship. They rumble on with speculative so wrong options. Southgate doesn't reveal his personal business 😊😅

Why is everyone talking up this Spanish team ? If you look at the players England are man for man far superior. They were sixth favourites to win before the tournament started. Many here psychologically giving Spain the trophy. Imagine if it was the other way around, with Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka etc in the Spanish team then we'd be bricking it. Lew to state that England would only win 25% of the matches is way out. At worst it is 50/50 due to Spain's better form.

NO!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

why this guy stutter so much

Please no !!!

Full time spain 0 England 0 additional time 1=1 and penalty england 4 spain 3

I’m

Regardless of the result on Sunday, Southgate has to go. The FA show that they accept failure and mediocre performances, If they keep Southgate as manager, they simply are okay with zero trophies.

All the Muppets with the ‘Southgate out mid tournament and drop Kane’ nobs, where are you?

We need someone new

No thanks give someone else a try

What’s he on about ‘Alpha Male’ role?! Pure BS talk

predictions for next Monday: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 will lose to 🇪🇸 in Euros, then GS stays, still 😜

England wil win 🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🇯🇲🙏🙏🇯🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Id rather us lose and him go than win and him stay

That group of players would perform way better with no manager! Southgate jacks them up with his awful tactics and instruction.

Bring Back Roy Hodgson

Nobody with any knowledge of good football wants Southgate to stay in charge after this tournament. Gareth Southgate is a snooze, boring in pressers and just boring all round. He should move on after this summer, not least because he's already overstayed his welcome.

Please no.

He needs to go win or lose. I can't take any more anti football.

Absolutely not...HE NEEDS TO GO 😮

Not watched the video but please for the love of god no, he should of gone a couple of years ago. He was great a few years ago, bringing the team together playing his negative football as an underdog, gave us a bit of pride back as a nation but this style of football is not what the nation wants to watch. This is a league 2 manager with league 2 tactics at the international stage, his only accomplishments to date are getting relegated. Of course its a difficult situation for the manager as he wants to play defensive football when he has a squad full of attackers because he plays not to lose 99% of the time instead of playing to win and that is what is pissing off the majority of the nation. Personally I'd be behind the team if we tried to play football and lose but the games are currently background noise because who watches that trash

God, no, if you want proof of how a team can win without a manager just watch england play, they stumble along on a wing and a prayer , while Southgate tells them to pass it back to the goalkeeper, we have a top team of players but failed manager his CV he has won nothing in his career, relegated clubs he managed and the old tie brigade, thinks the best man 😂😂 the FA have tried to Polish a turd and you end up with shite
