At least Gareth Southgate did not suggest he is better off just sticking to the football.
At least the England manager showed he is aware of the many social issues which are surrounding the World Cup 2022. And fair play to him for talking about them as well.
Sometimes, he probably wishes he could just turn up at a press conference like Mike Bassett to announce: “Ladies and gentleman, England will be playing four-four-f******-two.” And leave it at that. Instead, the modern-day national coach has to be across all manner of subjects. It really is like no other job in football.
