When there is one person in these drunken EM days on whom the English rarely concentrate all hope, all pride and an almost animalistic joy – then this is Gareth Southgate. Kane penalty kick, sterling swallow. Whether England won the victory over the Danes fairly is only useful as a footnote for the annals, if at all.
Southgate’s success goes far beyond sporting in a country where every template is used to attack the other political camp. And at the same time after the grueling Brexit years and the catastrophic Corona months long for something that brings all sides together.
The British pop band Atomic Kitten has released one of their greatest hits for the coach with a new text about the popular English national coach. “Southgate You’re The One – Football’s Coming Home Again” is a remake of the 2000 single “Whole Again”, with which Atomic Kitten topped the charts in Great Britain and numerous other countries, including Germany.
