There in proves my point. Liked by the media and the public. Is that important? Surely you appoint the "best man" for the job, with the best knowledge and tactical acumen.
As stated that's not Gareth's fault but he shouldn't be close to the England job.
We weren't outclassed by Croatia, far from it, we were out-thought tactically and then resorted to stereo-typical English teams of yesteryear by suddenly hoofing it 70 yards down field and hoping. I dont think its crass, mis-guided or embarrassing to expect more from my national team and its management when they are paid TOP dollar.
We will now gloss over all the faults there are with English football for the next decade and bask in the fact we got to a World Cup Semi Final for the next decade.
I hope i'm very wrong, but dont expect to be.
