For Gareth Southgate, it’s been an unusual feeling, but the main question is whether it will be an influential one.

“I don’t enjoy losing football matches,” he said after England’s surprise 1-0 defeat to Hungary. “It’s a long time since we actually got beat across 90 minutes, so I don’t like that feeling one bit, and the players are very disappointed in the changing room.”
