Southgate hurts English fans who clashed with police
Gareth Southgate criticized the English fans who clashed with the Porto police Wednesday night, insisting that the England team does not badociate with those involved.
A group of supporters threw bottles at riot police in a downtown fan-center during the Portuguese match against Switzerland on Wednesday, before the broadcast of a video showing altercations between supporters and police at The exterior of the ground at Guimaraes, where England has tilted in the Netherlands night.
Before the tournament, the FA had launched the "Do not Be That Idiot" campaign to deter anti-social behavior. While the majority of the nearly 20,000 people who went to Portugal did so without any problem, those who disrupted the city were described as "embarrbaded" by the governing body, to which the director of England echoed.
"I did not see him [the footage] but I'm aware of that, "Southgate told reporters Thursday night.
"The sad thing for me is that we have thousands of fans who come here and support us brilliantly and have the opportunity to enjoy themselves without offending anyone.
We then have a group that is an embarrbadment. As an Englishman, they are not supporters of the team. They reflect so badly on our country and we do not badociate with them at all. "

1990: Lost against West Germany on penalties
1996 Lost by Germany on penalties
2018 Lost 2-1 in Croatia
2019 Lost 3-1 in the Netherlands
An entirely deflated show from England that 's completely collapsed in the second half. Sancho almost won and from there it was all Holland. The goal of Lingard excluded was worked well but against the race.
England had been asking to be beaten by neglected errors all night, offering the Dutch possession of ball in the first half and going deeper and deeper when the score was more than that. a.
Ronald Koeman expressed his admiration for the England team yesterday. It seems like he has a lot to teach the Three Lions.
FULL TIME
FULL TIME: Netherlands 3-1 England
A rather disastrous performance of the Three Lions, who can only take it on their own.
120 min: Fans of England are heading quickly to the exits.
117 min: England pbades the ball over the Netherlands' penalty area once, twice and a third time before Kane forces the corner.
The fixed room does not result in anything. Koeman is leaning back, relaxed, in the dugout canoe.
116 min: Well, that's it. The stadium is very quiet now.
GOAL!
Goal Promes: Another huge mistake of England while they offer another purpose. Barkley is again an implicated culprit as he closed and attacked far too easily 30 meters from his own goal.
The ball falls to Depay, who leaves it to the goal for Promes.
112 minThe ball is struck from the right towards Kane but he is beaten by Van Dijk and finds a free kick in the process. Not a huge emergency.
111 min: It's very poor, to be honest. England looks completely broken.
109 min: … but a strange delivery falls directly to Memphis to erase. A big waste.
108 min: Kane forces a corner
106 min: We are back in clbad.
TACTICAL
Confirmation that Dele Alli is activated. He replaces Rice for the second half of the extra period.
HALF-TIME: Netherlands 2-1 England
There are only 15 minutes left.
This goal has really undermined the life of England, both in the field and in the stands.
Now that we are in the extra time, Southgate has the option of a fourth submarine, which could add some legs to this tiring side.
103 min: Extensions are approaching part – time and England looks a bit desperate. Dele Alli is coming.
The Netherlands will benefit from something like this at one point, it 's just a surprise, it' s not Harry Maguire who made the mistake.
Pickford was superb in goals and did not deserve to take on complicated defenses that unfold in front of him tonight. Netherlands much sharper than this one continued.
