Spot on Ritchie. The arrogance of the pundits really takes the biscuit.
France had a real off night last night and i thought for once Southgate got the tactics right and pressed the French centre backs and was getting a lot of joy from that. But as the game went on i thought the french would find a way to win when Southgate couldn't change it , as all the good sides do... and they did.
Englands record against the top nations is really bad under Gareth in the competitive games. They are good at avoiding banana skins in the groups and qualifiers but they always falter eventually against the top ten sides.
