As a hypocrite (I mean we are all hypocrites, it comes with the package of being a football fan
) England fan, I can confirm that I have always loved Pickford and will never love Alexander-Arnold. He scored the decisive penalty, but he is still a myth of a footballer.
I have a respect for Southgate, he has instilled a team mentality. I am all for am pragmatic style of football as well, but this tournament he has taken it to a new level, especially considering the attacking options he has in the squad.
However, we are in another semi-final, so if this is the way to win it then so be it.
