Southgate's mentality midget tactic of sitting back the moment they equalize is fucking egregious

There's a really interesting (if a little overblown) piece in The Guardian - basically arguing that England's entire failure can be attributed to (or at least embodied by) one throw in that Kyle Walker took not long after the equaliser. Instead of chucking it into the box, he threw it 40 yards back to Stones, who gave it back to keeper, and England didn't touch the ball in Spain's half again for about 15 minutes.

Yeah they had a bit of momentum, gave the ball away and spain refused to give it back
