Lets be honest - whilst we had a lot of the ball - i cant remember too many chances we had. We had decent positions but not enough creatively.

Here we go then, there's the narrative - it's all Harry's (and by extension somehow Tottenham's) fault.

Fact is, England shouldn't be so consistently reliant on penalties to win big matches. Let's give Southgate another 4 year extension anyway though
I don't really see how Southgate can be blamed for this one. Two dodgy decisions and another penalty miss.

We faced up to France and took it to them. Referee was shocking. Heads held high lads.

The average England fan seems to detest Kane, so they'll gobble this up.

Both Rooney and Beckham have cost England before at major tournaments yet neither of them have a lasting hatred from the fans

Where to go though?

City have Haaland and Kane wanna stay in the PL to be the all time top scorer.
Bayern have made him their top target, so I suppose it would be a question of whether he cares more about trophies or an individual record.

Liverpool and United both need strikers, and each has been linked with a purchase by an oil state, so I wouldn’t count them out either. Regardless, Kane holds all the cards with his contract situation.

And we've created loads in this game. Can't blame the manager when chances are created but not finished.

What's Southgate done wrong here? People thought we were going to lose tonight prior to the tournament anyway and probably though France would run riot, which they haven't. Yes we lost, but we could easily have won.
