Could Gareth Southgate get sacked even if England wins EURO 2024? | ESPN FC Extra Time 

Why does everyone feel sorry for Southgate? He's made 40 million in 8 years working 3 months a year with almost no technical ability. He is a legend lol.

France and England have played the worst football I can remember in an international tournament. Spain deserves the trophy for playing attractive football.

It would be hilarious if Southgate left as the most successful manager in Englands history

Ask a Scotsman a derogatory question about anything English and what do you expect as an answer?

A few years from now, Gareth Southgate will publish his autobiography and he will remind everyone that he is the England manager with the best record of recent times since 1966. It is rightly so if England wins this Euro 2024. If not, will he be reminded that the England should have won more in an era when Brazil, Germany, Italy and Netherland had struggled for almost a decade? Is it faire to say that his England team should have won the Euro at home in 2020 against an Italian team that could not qualify for the world cup? It has been evident that Southgate is who he was as a player, defensive and reactive. It may not be his fault but it is his limitation that he does not know how to play total attacking football or how to force his opponents to react to his tactics not the other way around. Perhaps at the end of the tournament, nobody would care how much credit he will take if England wins it. It is fully possible that the talents England have can carry him over the finish line despite he's been the constraint and shortcoming. But if England doesn't win it, Mr. Southgate please do not publish an autobiography!

He has taken England to a semi-final, or possibly a final... the FA are happy, he will go on. Now, no one in the world outside the British Isles envies England's game, no little boy is looking forward to buy the Three Lions shirt, no England player is worth more today than yesterday, no major federation is considering hiring an English manager to copy Southgate's style. Except for the countries fighting for the title, the rest of the world wishes or recognizes that this euro should be for Spain.

Soouthgate is lucky man, his tournament draw always good, he needs a good assistant to help him

Everyone who’s not English or French wants a Spain Netherlands final

His team is carrying him. With great talent and great coaching they would be smashing it. With great talent and horrible coaching you get lucky, which is where this team is at

I hope he goes to MU😂

USMNT should replace Gregg Burkhalter with Gareth Southgate.

I don’t think that England fans will care about their mediocre performances if they end up winning the EUROs playing the way they’ve played all tournament. When you have some of the most talented players on the same team, of course you’re expecting them to play a proper brand of football and you want to see the best version of a team, if they had been eliminated, the narrative around them will be about Southgate being a fraud of a manager and how he can ruin a team with very good players including a Ballon Dor contender. They’re in the semifinals despite struggling to win games in 90 minutes and majority of their performances haven’t looked convincing and also they have been outplayed during certain periods of the game. If they’re able to win the EUROs, it wouldn’t matter for them because you want to play well which is true, at the end of the day, football is about winning trophies and you can win a trophy while playing some of the most boring football ever yet you’re able to manage games and grind out results.

I just want Southgate gone, but I have absolutely no faith in the cretins at the F.A to appoint a decent replacement.

As punishment for 115 man city sould appoint southgate

The funny thing is he's their best Manager ever too 😂😂

Death by PowerPoint is a good metaphor for for English football

Frank is so proper.. he sits straight & never lean back .. that's an example of a very healthy individual.. .

He's leaving regardless of if they win the Euros or not.

Tactically Southgate is good at all But he just world class players

Gareth Southgate is the best Manager England ever had after Alf Ramsey but still it's not good enough to win England Major Trophy.

If we magically beat Netherlands just luck tbh 💀😭

Good players, crappy coach and tactics. Another 120 minutes of this and I´ll go into a coma

Spain deserve to win.. they been outstanding throughout the tournament

I love how relaxed these four are. I wish you would keep them permanently 😢

It turns out Saka has the exact same penalty record in the PL as Frank had - 10/11

One can only hope this is Southgate’s last stand. It’s a disgrace. England have the possibility of winning a trophy without playing any football.

I just love Frank the French man. I never new that he ever played for Chelsea fc. Now that I know, I love him the more

Even if Southgate was sacked after winning the Euros, it would still be a fine capstone on the C.V. Getting England a first European title and second international title in a long while. He would have the pick of whatever offers came his way. And there would plenty of offers.

In order to win, England will have to improve. If they do find that improvement and win the trophy there will be no earthly reason to sack Southgate, but I don't think he'll stick around anyway.

Southgate is more likely to be kept on when they go out, than sacked if they win.

It’s funny! If England win the Euros 😅 Spain are gonna be champions! They are by far the best team left in it! If England somehow get past the Dutch they will never ever beat Spain! 🇪🇸

I want England to win playing terribly and get our first trophyin 58 years simply because it would be hilarious to see people react by saying 'Well we didn't win convincingly enough! Sack him!'

England through to the Semi. Good for them. Tough team to beat. Great responses when they went down. Need to find that same mentality for 90 minutes.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 HE REACHES THE SEMIS WITH VERY AVERAGE TEAM TO BE FRANK HE DID A GREAT JOB

Gonna be hilarious if Southgate is sacked and Gregg berhalter is allowed to keep his job

It’s really funny to me how many excuses a player of Phil Foden’s caliber gets whenever he drops a stinker for his country. I agree that going from Pep Guardiola to Gareth Southgate is a massive drop off as there’s a massive gap in quality between the 2 managers and being surrounded around the right system and players who play to your strengths he’s a prime example of it. He is still struggling to produce his best form for the England national team and once again at the EUROs despite some odd flashes of glimpses, he’s still short of his best form. In the first couple of games of the tournament, he was uncomfortable playing as a left winger and that’s clearly not his position as everyone knows that he’s more of a central player as he wants to get on the ball and make things happen in areas of the pitch where he thrives the most. Today against Switzerland, Gareth Southgate changed the formation and he played Foden as a double number 10 where he played decently which is a fair assessment of him, fell short of expectations for England yet again and he’s yet to truly gel in the same team alongside Jude Bellingham. When you’re supposed to be the best player in the premier league and you’re in your prime, yes it’s true that he has underperformed for his country and no matter what position they play him in they don’t get the best out of him and we should acknowledge that and also we have to stop making excuses as well because Foden has been underwhelming with England for years and other players are making an impact for their country and some of them aren’t even playing in their position and going into the semifinals, if he’s gonna be a passenger in the team and show up in glimpses, then don’t play him, if you want to play him make sure that he’s involved in the game.

Oh god I hope so 🙏🙏🙏

As Arsenal fan want Saka to just get a rest, but yet again he is the main man.

Of the 4 teams left, there's only one I enjoy watching - Spain. Anyone know if Pedri will play again in the semi, or final? Holland are average, but ENG & France are dour. The biggest entertainers were Turkey, scored great goals, attacking team who gave their all every minute, of every game, they'll be missed. Georgia was also entertainers, with speedy dribblers. Surely of those 4 'big' teams left, with 3 games to play, they must give us at least great game! I dread to think of a ENG-France final, which is an infuriating bore-draw, with 2 bore-draw managers punching the air for getting to PENs.

Starting to feel like last Euros. England laboured to the final whilst on the otherside Italy was playing well.

Southgate is the best ever manager to manage England. He's also better than Klopp and Pep

Should have been sacked after the world Cup or earlier even. Always playing negative football and turns to react when his team is down. England should not be struggling with the talent at his disposal.

Don’t rush Arda, he will be great but he isn’t ready! Seen a lot of fans preferring Arda over Rodrygo now but it isn’t his time. He will get more minutes but not as a immediate starter

I didn't understand the stranger Craig joke??

July 14 final!!!! 14= Johan Cruijff... final is Netherlands - Spain💯 coincidence doesn't exist.

Fantastic performance however all our players are trying to accommodate Harry Kane & he is just to slow. We need pace up front & Oli Watkins would work wonders for us.⚡⚽🏆🧡👍

Sir Southgate the centurion genius

Frank and craig great pundits

Frank wearing a AP Royal oak 😮

If the English desire to win the tournament. Keep the last winning team as starters. 🙌 bringing top guns 2 minutes to end not smart ?

The poverty of the football😂

please lower down the background noisy beating music 🥁🤢

England will not win the Euro judging how they have performed this far. They were fortunate to be in an easier bracket or else they would have been out a while back.

😅😅as kong as England keep winning i dint get what's so bad?? I mean they in the semis again 🤷

Yes. Finally. After 8 tiresome years.

It is ridiculous

I think Pep would be great for England. Southgate's time is up.

Who tf asked that guler question 😂 valverde is proven and clear of him and can play both positions himself

They’re winning. That’s all that matters

Get rid of him, we’ve outgrown him. Thanks for everything Gareth but we now need to go up a level

He absolutely should.

Craig talks like he was some sort of football messiah lol he wasn’t good enough to clean stevies boots ffs!

He wouldn't get sacked even if he got knocked out by Koeman.😂

Scotland did qualify for Euro 92 when there were only 8 teams. Get your facts right

I haven't been seeing Ale Moreno lately

My family were immigrants to Scotland from Ireland

Southgate need to go. He is a bad manger

He should get sacked after the tournament ends regardless because all he has bought to the team is toxic favouritism and ignorance to probably the best England squad ever assembled. Good riddance.

On paper southgate does great with england....just on paper

If France or England somehow fumble their way to the trophy I think I'll laugh myself into a coma 😂

Through to the Semi Final but the morning after and ESPN are more concerned about Southgate getting sacked? Welcome to ESPN FC.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Who really cares if he does or doesnt

He should.

Foden should definitely be left out. Was the worst player on the pitch yesterday. Looked lost. Similar all tournament. But he won't be dropped, of course.

If England end up playing Spain in the Final, how will they even touch the ball?

Please McManaman instead of eveyone

AS IF ENGLAND PLAYERS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD THEY ARE AT BEST AVERAGE

Hes smart, there is no way England is gona win the Euro...

Honestly I don't care about winning anything any more, I just want Southgate gone. He has destroyed any enjoyment I used to get from watching England.

Plezase more Mcmanananananananaannana and Stivie

Scotland did qualify when it was 8 teams smh😂 in euro 92. Anyway I don't watch this show for any insight...they're decent banter ha

I'd sack Him now before the final which he'll blow like the Italy game

Question for everyone: would you rather have rodrygo or saka as your RW

Sakaaaaa

If we know United they will hire him after the EUROs. They always make the worst signings

Sack southgate if he win euros. Brung in potter .. He did well wirh Brighton....

I was already shocked that everyone attacked him when England won the group and was at the top. Now they have advanced this far people and England own population still attack him. Before i did not care if England won or not. Now i root for England too win just because how toxic everyone including England own fans have been

I don't enjoy watching this England team. I really don't care if they lose.

England fans are cringeworthy. At least it must have depressed the Reform vote.

THE TEARS 😂😂 FOOTBALLS COMING HOME

Dechumps should be sacked. I can see England going out in the semi final (because he aint no Koeman and relies too much of the deadweight Kane)- what sort of job would Southgate get then?

International football is more defensive.

Southgate has been awful, his team has spluttered its way past mediocre opponents, and the s*** is about to hit the fan.

He leaves anyway

England always gets the easier path to the final and they never get there. Cant wait to see them cry

He is the worst manager you can pick for any team, especially England, with these talents and squad. I think he should be fired even if they'll become champion

ANTHONY TAYLOR FOREVER !!!

This is the worst European Championship in history. UEFA greed has finally ruined the competition. Every time the number of teams is increased the quality of the tournament suffers. Sixteen nations is the absolute maximum number that should be allowed to qualify, although the EUROs was at its best when it was an eight team tournament.

This community is bad on ball knowledge and also quick to forget! how horrible Bruno was for us last season! Bruno is amazing but he is replaceable. he’s not in his early 20s as well and getting in his 30s. Bruno has been here for couple of years now and he’s not won us any major trophy! so we need to really chill out! Give me 200mil and he’s gone!! I can buy both Dani Olmo and Wirtz to replace him in a heart beat!
