The ridiculous over the top hype the media frenzy would have gone on would have been unbearable.
The players would have been lauded as way way better than they are, there would have been a knighthood for Southgate and probably Captain Kane.
Rather they lost to save us all that nonsense. Long since disassociated myself from Inguralnd.

I'm glad Hendo went off, although I'd have fancied him to score a penalty given what I was from Rashford, Sancho and Saka
I was pretty sure England wouldn't win, with Southgate's 1990's tactics, I felt sorry for Hendo, played England's 2 most incisive passes of the entire game, putting Sterling through twice and he absolutely HAD to score the first one, perfect ball, perfect weight, no defenders anywhere near him, all he had to do was take a decent first touch out of his feet in front of him, putting him in a position to slot it past their keeper near or far post, but he showed himself to be a big time bottler as ever
No pressing game, zero, none, nada, that's the 1990's tactics reference, it's Roy Hodgson Crystal Palace tactics, sitting off with numbers behind the ball not pressing until a player becomes active in your half, Hendo attempted a few times to get a press going, then realised none of the other players were joining him in it
Can't blame the penalty takers, Sterling had THE golden chance to win the game when Hendo put him through and bottled it
England haven't played any decent football all tournament, Southgate's 1990's tactics of keeping numbers behind the ball, only pressing players when they become active in your half and relying on set pieces and the odd decent ball to release your quality forwards and hope they work their magic is good enough and was good enough for the dross they played up until the final, but not having a pressing game in the modern game just isn't good enough, England won't win a single thing with Southgate's dated tactics and methods

Better group, better teams in the knockout stages and England wouldn’t get this far.
Harry Kane also noting them parking the bus.
As Miller says, the media wankfest is ridiculous. Doubt any other country goes this over the top?
Ferdinand blaming Southgate, SheArer blaming Kane. It’s civil war in the studio

The treatment of Henderson was ridiculous hes clearly not fit.. He shouldn't have gone to the Euros.

Who needs Porn after that?
The tears of all these Brexiteer fans who wouldn't shut their yaps about it "coming Home" will be the most wonderful lubricant.

Said he didn’t have a touch in the 18 yard box all game and should be doing more as a CF and Ferdinand saying “maybe he’s being told that” I.e by the manager

Mount, Sterling, Kane (2nd half) didn't really produce and Rice and Philips were being over-run in the middle. Late subs (Grealish and Sancho) and lack of response to England dropping deeper is on Southgate. He was found out by the Italians.

Southgate “I decided who was going to take the penalties”
