In response to Southgate's post match interview about letting his teammates down at euro 96.
Brilliant stuff. |  | | |  |

I find it strange that Southgate's penalty miss is the one that's remembered, I guess because he's manager now and it was a tournament in England? England have lost multiple penalty shootouts. Having a look through the following have missed penalties in shootouts that England lost at major tournaments:
Pearce
Waddle
Ince
Batty
Lampard
Gerrard
Carragher
Beckham
Vassel
Young
Cole
Hopefully everyone (including Southgate) can move on now. |  | | |

Because of the status of the game - same reason that Pearce and Waddles are remembered more than others on that list |  |

It's also crazy that such blame is attributed to the individual. A football match is a sequence of events and many mistakes really. I wonder if Muller's miss will be remembered in 25 years time, or had he scored, I wonder if Sterling's loose pass that started that move would've been.
Very harsh, and Southgate (or any other penalty missers) have absolutely nothing to apologise for. That's football, it takes balls to step up and take one. |  |

Still baffles me how David Batty and Darius Vassell got caps. |  |

Because England "fans" as a collective are never happier than when they're miserable. We love to be self-deprecating and pick at old wounds. You only need to look at all the criticism of our performances so far in this tournament. It's insane and is undoubtedly one of the major contributing factors for why we have underachieved down the years.
Southgate seems to have fixed that mentality within the team, which is why we are now seeing a more professional approach and a little self-belief. Long may it continue. [Post edited 1 Jul 2021 9:22]

No one remembers Vassel missing a penalty because they're too punctilious...
Vassell on the other hand... |  |

David Batty was Pele's player of the tournament
I just googled this, and it's quite possible I dreamt this at some point and then forgot it wasn't true [Post edited 1 Jul 2021 9:39]

David Batty was a very good player, certainly international class and certainly better than Rice and Phillips are currently |  | | |

Is this not an emotional defence position? Expect the worst and anything else is a win? |  | | |

I think this shows why Shearer was a great captain really. He may seem a bit boring on MOTD at times, but if you were sh**ting yourself before a big game, I recon an arm round the shoulder from Alan was the perfect tonic. |  |

I tried, I really did - but I just don't see that at all. Phillips was one of my favourite players on the pitch vs Germany, he was absolutely fearless. | |

I always thought it was hugely unfair on Southgate at the time. I remember watching Ince literally turn his back on it all despite being one of the few players left on the pitch who should know what its like to at least try and score. |  | | |

that 96 team had some really good leaders.
Pearce, Adams, Ince, Shearer, Southgate.
Neville, Campbell who were young and probably not at their most experienced/confident enough to impress their personalities either. | | | |
