Gate102 Podcast

A podcast going through the 102 games Sir Gareth Southgate managed for England. Hosted by @chaztiddy08

[Gate102 Podcast @Gate102Pod]

New Episode:🎙️

I spoke about England's ten goal demolishing over San Marino back in November 2021. It was the perfect end to what had been a year to remember for Southgate's side.

2024 0-0 Vs Slovenia
2022 0-0 Vs USA
2021 0-0 Vs Scotland
2016 0-0 Vs Slovakia
2014 0-0 Vs Costa Rica
2012 0-0 Vs Italy
2010 0-0 Vs Algeria

Now tell me you're surprised by the result against Ghana.

It's not time to panic for England fans.

Only 3 of the 18 World Cup winners ever have won all 3 group games.

Brazil 70, France 98, Brazil 02.

It's a rarity to win every single game against defiant opposition.

England have only won all 3 group games once, way back in 1982.

A draw v Ghana will just enable an early learning curve for the Three Lions, and particularly for gaffer Thomas Tuchel. 🦁

England 0-0 Ghana - Let's hear from you.

A reality check? 2 points dropped? What went wrong?

England would not be here in Dallas today in this better shape and with this quality of player and mood without the vital work Gareth Southgate did in tackling a distressed team and dysfunctional system. He made the talent pool deeper. He made players and fans care about England again.

As FA’s head of elite development in 2011 and 2012, Southgate persuaded counties to have kids playing smaller-sided games, enhancing technique. He worked with academies on developing more technical players. He worked with the Under-21s (37 games), building a supply-line of talent.

On becoming England head coach, he worked on rebuilding the relationship between players and fans broken amidst the pain and anger of Nice at Euro 2016.
Southgate worked on England’s culture and restored some identity. He ended club cliques, improved relations with England club managers and their medical staff. He went into club boardrooms and rebuilt trust and support between owners, directors and England.

Southgate smoothed the pathway from Under-21s to seniors and made reporting for international duty something to look forward to again. A joy, not a chore. He brought focus and some fun, real togetherness with inflatable unicorns. He worked on penalties. Marginal gains and more.

He took England from 13th in the world to third. He took England to a World Cup semi-final and quarter-final and to back-to-back Euro finals (102 games, 61 wins, 24 draws, 17 defeats). He just couldn’t get England over the line whether through quality of opposition player and manager or tactical. Like many, I was critical of him at times, in crunch moments of games. But his impact is undeniable and should be respected and celebrated.

England continue to struggle against top-20 sides. France and Argentina yesterday showed the scale of the challenge for Thomas Tuichel and his team here at the World Cup. But England start their latest World Cup finals journey with more belief and quality because of Southgate’s work from 2011 to 2024.

Southgate will doubtless be watching his dear England from afar, wishing them well. He will doubtless take pride in players he knows well. And, although he is too self-effacing and team-minded to talk about it, let alone shout about it, Southgate should certainly take quiet pride in his own immense contribution to England becoming a respected force again. #ENG #FIFAWorldCup

Last night was class and huge credit to Tuchel and the team. But for any fans trying to use last night to belittle Southgate, just a reminder England scored six goals in one game in both of Gareth's world cups.

[Gate102 Podcast @Gate102Pod]

We're winning 4-2 and with a few minutes left Harry Kane is making defensive blocks in his own 18 yard box. That man is simply different level, what a captain!! #Englandcroatia

[3lionspodcast @3LionsPodcast]

Not long to go now, get the Croatia preview where I'm joined by @Gate102Pod and @croatian_footy. #WorldCup #England #EngCro

[Finley Crebolder @FinCrebolder]

In case anyone doesn't know...

- Led Curacao to become the smallest nation to make a WC
- Resigned to be in the Netherlands for his daughter, who had cancer
- His daughter's health improved & his replacement resigned to let him return
- Now he's the oldest WC manager ever

Gareth is a big reason why we are in a position where we could win.

We've all I imagine questioned the continued selection of Jordan Henderson for England at various points over the last couple of years...

Me personally? I love Henderson, but I personally wanted Wharton to go. I thought his forward-thinking, brave passing would have been a real asset off the bench.

But then you hear Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers, two young stars with the world at their feet, calling Jordan Henderson "probably the best person they've ever come across in football."

How could Tuchel not take a character like that?

Shout-out Hendo, what a man!
