England fans chant for Southgate as hopes of World Cup victory are restored

England's time at the 2018 FIFA World Cup has been one for the books as they find themselves edging much closer to the final - and to victory - than the country has since the Nineties.

Gareth Southgate, the coach for England's national football team, has one career moment that will follow him forever. At a crucial moment during England's semi-final Euro 96 match against Germany, Southgate went up to take a penalty kick - and missed. 

Now, as the coach of the current English team participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Southgate is putting on a performance that is fast erasing anyone's doubts about his ability to perform under pressure. 

The Guardian reported on Southgate's "five months’ work preparing for the prospect of a shootout" - and judging by England's performance thus far, Southgate knows what he is doing. 

So impressive has his performance as coach been that England's fans have given Southgate his very own chant. Set to the tune of Atomic Kitten's "Whole Again" the tune celebrates Southgate's efforts.
