That said, whilst it would be crazy to sack him, it seems like based on the group set up towards the finals we avoided typical major national teams like France and Germany until Italy in the final. Sure, Croatia and Denmark are good teams, but are they up there with the best, probably not. Southgate gets credit taking them to the final and giving it a good go until penalties, but they had a favourable route to the final, but then again, they can only beat who’s in front of them. My opinion is that the favourable route (with big teams being knocked out along the way) meant that this was a rare chance for them to get a trophy, but they lost it to penalties where it mattered again. I wished Southgate played DCL more, and played him against the old and tired legs of the Italian defence, but Kane seems to be his favourite, non droppable player. I hope DCL stays in the next World Cup squad.
