GARETH SOUTHGATE had reached the end of his tether before Euro 2024 had even started.
Which meant that win or lose, he had decided to resign whatever happened on German soil.

It's a shame he fell short of being able to do this and having the loudest last laugh of all.

He looked drained before the knockout stages started. He took one broadcast journalist to task in his pre-match press conference ahead of the semi-final against Holland.
