FRANKFURT. — Gareth Southgate has come under fire for his tactics at Euro 2024 — but his biggest mistake could be his wardrobe.
And the England manager may want to look at the stats below ahead of Sunday’s last 16 clash with Slovakia.
Two beer cups were hurled towards Southgate after the drab draw with Slovenia on Tuesday.
And, if Southgate was superstitious, then he could be thinking about ditching his now more casual look in favour of going back to the look that made him a national hero.
Southgate’s lucky waistcoat at the 2018 World Cup became a big hit as he led the Three Lions to the semi-final for the first time since 1990.
At the following Euros, he ditched the waistcoat but kept the shirt and tie as England went all the way to the final, only to be beaten on penalties by Italy.
When it came to the 2022 World Cup, Southgate started to relax a little more when it came to his matchday attire.
He opted for a quarter zip-up top and jacket for those games in the Middle East – but England were beaten 2-1 by France in the quarter final.
Southgate wore a similar quarter zip-up and jacket for England’s opener against Serbia.
However, the two bore draws that have followed have both seen him ditch the jacket as he watched on from the dug-out in a white zip-up. — The Sun.
