I like to keep a record.

Software developer based in Sheffield and semi-obsessive logger of things.

Rough way to go out after a generally positive tournament. Despite going full Southgate for the last 25 minutes I think Tuchel has been a good change and should stay. Might just have a rough ride with the press and pundits for the next few weeks..

We're setup for a good final at least, ¡Vamos, España!
