Italy should never have won. My Italian colleagues couldn’t believe that a team as poor as that had won. It wasn’t so much that Italy won, more a case that we lost.
The point i think people are missing is that beating Italy now is not the same as beating Italy ten years ago, it’s the same with Germany. They are in the doldrums whereas we have the players but still can’t get it over the line.

world football has been in the doldrums for the last two tournaments. Italy, Holland, Germany, Brazil to name a few are all complete dogshit, we on the other hand have some of the most exciting players in the world coming through and the time ripe for a trophy, so Southgate picks donkeys. It’s...
