Fact is they rode a soft path while playing their games at home and still needed a blatant dive to even get there. Runner-up is a flattering result overall.
And their fans are probably the biggest group of assholes in the world so it was great to see them blow it. Cant go anywhere without seeing video of them beating people up in the stadium or racially abusing players.

I agree with the soft path, but I also think that Southgate did not utilize what he had available very well. Rather than use that safe path to get some rhythm going, he played it safe and defensive all tournament, with a roster that, imo, has some pretty good attacking talent.
