Nobody in the world has been upset that they watched Ted Lasso, other than to say “I wish i’d watched that sooner.”
Wow.

Tangentially, I find the Southgate Discourse boring and generally annoying because it’s rooted in a belief that England should be winning more than they are. Which, like, they’ve been super successful under Southgate and none of their tournament loses have been upsets. I’m sure if England switched to Potter right now they’d get a new manger bump for 12 months…but I kind think England is just a high level but not dominant squad at the moment. Which is really good and all but a handful of countries would swap places with them right now.

He did a lot of good for the national team and it's unquestionable that he's the second best manager in their history. But it's time.
I think a lot of people forget that just before he took over they had bombed out against Iceland in humiliating fashion and could still be counted upon to muck up any PK situation. He imbued a ton of confidence in the players, improved their PK taking and approach, and generally got much better results than his predecessors. He's limited tactically and that eventually proved to be his ceiling.

Can we give Domino's Pizza UK the Golden Boot? They've been in off the top rope every single tweet.
That said, I wouldn’t hire him to make pizza. He’d used ingredients past their expiration date, then do something like put the cheese directly on the peel with the dough on top.
I think his biggest flaw as a pizza maker is that he’d put too much pepperoni on one part of the pizza and too little on others.
Bild are suggesting Tuechel has interest in the England job. It would be hilarious for him to lead this team on a blitz through qualifying next summer, get England dreaming, and then have a massive public falling out with the FA that leads to him resigning in December 2025.
He'd be so afraid of burning the pie that it would come out all soggy in the middle.
This was rumored a bit after the Lionesses won the Euros, that Wiegman would get a shot at the men’s squad after Southgate…would the English FA really do it???

With Southgate gone i'm really hoping Steve Clarke does the decent thing and steps down, even though he's got two years left on his contract. It's shit being the worst team in the tournament. I watched in total about an hour of Scotland's anti-football and even that was too much for me.
Two months later, UEFA confirms what anybody with eyeballs and a functioning cerebral cortex knew at the time - Cucurella should have been called for handball and a penalty in extra time against Germany. PL ref/VAR duo Anthony Taylor and Stuart Atwell felt otherwise.
