The England football team take a Marxist approach. Has Southgate resolved remaining contradictions in the team?
Guardian Letters 1st July 2021
In taking the knee against racism and injustice, the England football team embraced one of the basic principles of Marxism – solidarity. Their 2-0 victory over Germany (Report, 29 June) suggests they have now progressed further and understand that success in the struggle is not about heroic individuals but the collective action of the team. If Gareth Southgate can address remaining contradictions in the side, this could be their year.

As a footnote to Keith Flett’s analysis, both goals against Germany came from the left wing.
