@@suhaibghazi7673 yeah Henderson is a good midfielder, but not who you need if you're trying to get a goal....but him along with another CAM would've been perfect.
I honestly think that Foden and Wilson would be a really good partnership. Foden to help carry the ball from around the half way line to the last third and the Callum Wilson to run in and finish it.
I agree. I just want to mention this before I say what I am about to say, I am not comparing Wilson to Haaland. Foden and Haaland have such a good partnership together at Man City. Wilson while not being as good as Haaland is, he does share some similarities in the fact that he is quite quick and strong for a striker. It could work, Foden would be feeding Wilson balls on a plate, because he is that good.

@@ecaeas4439 i agree especially with Iran getting that win over Wales. But, I hope our manager makes some adjustments .. formation wise, and I want Jacob Sargent starting, i can not stand us as a 4-4-2 , i mean a 4-3-1-2 is basically the same thing but id like to see the 4-3-3 tried again, shoot we have Yedlin, and Dest. I know Yedlin is a RB/ RWB usually but ive seen him at LWB under a 3-4-1-1 and that could be done well against IRAN ...but the 4-3-3 (against Iran) i think would be best. McKennie also won't be so freaking full of nervous energy , he an Pulisic if they get back their good chemistry whilst playing together it could be a seruously entertaining game.
Neville was right in the post match analysis. Any top team/manager would have Foden and Trent in their starting 11. Build the team around your most creative technical players.
yea idk why Foden was not playing that guy is a nightmare to play against espicaly as a United fan i am well aware of the damage he can inflict not just goal scoring but the passing and creativity this guy has to set up other players
@@leem195 you could make the argument Trent shouldn't have started in favour of a safer RB but it's inexcusable to keep him on the bench in the last hour an hour when you're chasing a goal. He's one of the best creative players in the world and Southgate doesn't use that at all
I’m an American and I was happy to see the lineup and the subs. That being said, I don’t want to take too much away from my team. Pulisic controlled the game and kept pressure on England.
The warning signs were there after he said we were sloppy at the back. After that it was straight back to dull slow pass back and every player defend defend defend
As an American, my hope was in Southgate's inability to manage the moment, and perhaps a bit of slack from ENG following their very impressive first match. Forturnately was right on both accounts.
Harsh to single out Trippier. Watch Trippier for Newcastle. The majority of his passes go forward, many of them defence-splitting. Why? Because he has Miguel Almiron ahead of him, and who runs at full-pelt for fun, and is always available for the pass. With England, there's no movement ahead of Trippier so he passes sideways and back. It's boring, and it ends up with the back four playing keep-ball. The midfield was absent, and Kane is sooooo obviously off the pace. Trouble is is that he's an icon and the main man when it comes to FA branding. Like Shearer playing at Newcastle three years longer than he should have, Harry's peaked.
Spot on. The midfield was the problem - Mount and Rice were ineffectual and lost to their US counterparts. No team can build effective attacks without a firm midfield - it's probably why Maguire looked so good, because he had to defend more than usual. And Trippier is decent.
He might actually be learning on the job. Results are the ultimate metric and the USA tied England. We’ll see how he handles irans low block and jail break counters.
Not surprised that, as an American, you do t realise that Hendo was needed at that point. You were cutting through our midfield, Bellingham was chasing shadows. We were much more solid after he came on. That being said we needed more attacking options on too like TAA and Foden. Well played nevertheless and good luck against Iran 😊
@@nevermindthebollocks1171 I don't have anything against Henderson my point was England needed a goal and instead of bringing on Foden Rashford or Grealish he decided to bring a defensive midfielder first. Sure England played a bit better with him but I think that had more to do with USA tiring out than Henderson . To bo fair if England had brought on Foden and the other attackers earlier on I think they would have won but as an American I'm not complaining
@@NutraFit87 he’s an arrogant spaz why did he think usa would be easy they were gonna be well up for it and give it everything - goldbridge knows nothing about football
@@cooknaris No, its because half of your team are, frankly, not good enought to be in the WC. Just because you are english and play in the PL doesnt mean you are a top player like most of you seem to think. Despite doing sod all for decades (EC doesnt count since you got that served on a silver plate) and you still seriously think England is a contender for the WC? Jesus man. Brazil would run rings around England.
I know Maguire did well but the reason for that was because we rarely left our half and Harry had all the support in the world. It's a strange thing but when the team does bad, he does good (for the wrong reasons) and when the team plays well pressing high and aggressive, he does bad.
Cap. Maguire is the defender that plays as a wall. So mostly he tries to win aerial attacks and sometimes slide tackles but near the goalkeeper . It's just that if he missed the tackle everyone is like " OOh mY gOd HaRRy maGuIrRe SuCkS"
I believe you are right. Good for maguire being man of the match but if England played attacking football he would struggle same like he does at United. He shined today because of the defensive football they are playing yet it is obvious England's strength is in attack.
I just hate this England team and manager tbh. I have zero interest in this World Cup. The hypocrisy amongst the media, managers, players and pundits is sickening.
@@Intz51 Southgate isn't the answer... but give me a realistic manager that's gonna come in and do better than a semi final and a final because Unless you win it then it's no better than what the country has done since 2018... don't say Potter, Howe,Tuchel either Realistic
Southgate was happy not losing. He actually might be looking for 2nd place for different run in. Shocking stuff. Look at Ecuador in other game. Dripping wet and out on their feet. Imagine England players giving it that
Yeah agree, he is just a defensive manager and unfortunately it’s never to change. He learnt from defensive managers and has always managed underdog defensive clubs. If we as fans don’t believe he can win a tournament then I’m sure the players know that better than us and think the same. Would love if he proves us wrong and goes and wins the WC 😂
England are lucky that the US didn't put early crosses in and take advantage of the height difference between Trippier and Timothy Weah. The same like Juve once did with Manzukic* against Carvagal. I thought they would figure it out in the second half. They played bravely and confidently as well.
It’s quite remarkable the difference between National football and Champions League football. I keep having flashbacks in my head of what it’s like. It’s like the difference between PL and League Two
Eddie Howe is managing a top 4 premier league team, why would he manage an international team? Name one manager that has been successful domestically and internationally.
When I heard Southgate is the best paid international team manager of them all nowadays I almost choked to death with the chicken I was having for lunch
this would be even more embarrassing than 2014 if they go home now because at least in 2014 they had Italy and Uruguay 2 pretty decent teams but they have one of the easiest groups ever and are still struggling
@@innerarts4091 Yes they were absolutely shocking in that tournament. But as whole italy were and still is the one of the best teams in the world.

@@innerarts4091 Italy was a average team in 2014 and still are today, difference is Italy plays as a team and wins things...England have overrated overpriced players and you see that in performances and this is coming from a italian
Agree completely with your take, Goldbridge. Outside of playing the USA, I watch England. I feel bad for those on the bench that could have completely changed the pace and outcome to the game. England has too much talent to be playing counterattack tactics when they should be on the front foot. I thought Southgate said the shackles were coming off only to put the boys in concrete shoes
As an Irish man looking on I can say without doubt Southgate is totally mis using your very talented group of players he has no clue how to get the best out of them
I’ll admit I don’t know much about the tactics of football, so genuine question: why does England’s biggest talent Phil Foden not get a kick for his national team? I don’t understand it, surely the team should be built around someone with this much creativity and ability? I can’t see it happening elsewhere.
Like most of the squad, he plays for a club that centres on possession based total football philosophy. Southgateball is more defensive minded in nature, more negative and less creative. A player like foden can't shine in a team that lacks the technicality, confidence and most importantly chemistry to deliver a proper ball to him. Doesn't help that he's very small either, so not much of a target man
@@Iz78867 i never said he needed perfection to shine, but statistically speaking, the more chances you create, the more goals you're expected to score. That's literally what xG means. You can't expect foden, kane or even raheem to do much when you have the likes of trippier, shaw and mount playmaking for them. I support chelsea, so trust me. We've been dealing with this issue since hazard left.
USA did have a good defensive game. Do remember that a few months ago England was relegated in the nations league. With the players England got they should win the world cup.
They are poor at the back, come on. They are a high pressing team, but the defensive line is vulnerable, and I see Iran getting goals against them. If Harry Kane was trying to get a goal and not constantly marking Adams, we would have got something. And that is how Southgate sets us up. That is why we will not win anything. It is horrible tactically. Mark is spot on I think.
@@t.c.4321 the usa have been one of the best defensive teams in the tournament so wtf are you on abt?😂😂a stupid mistake is the only reason wales scored
United got a terrible backline 36 year old pensioner team ream and MLS defender zimmerman is a very weak backline Robinson and Dest are ok but we have to penetrate that backline
@@jadenn216 So by your logic, every team that finished 0 - 0 after match day 1 has a better defense than the USA? There's been at least 5 boring 0 - 0 draws. Will he funny to watch Iran steamroll you but.
Would any team in the Premiership choose Mount over Foden? Not one! But Southgate does. He would never survive at any Premier League club. Trippier has had a fantastic season (backed by stats) but because of the Southgate's tactics or lack of them has no outlets. Just one example of Southgate's inadequacies. p s. Southgate seemed happier at the draw than the win against Iran because we conceded 2 goals. That says a lot about him. Sort of the Steve Bruce of international managers 🤣
I completely agree with you goldbridge, England need a attacking manager with that squad it's criminal how he sets them up and worse they believe him 😩🙈
Southgate and Gregg Berhalter are kind of similar in terms of favoritism and tactical inflexibility, but Gregg going 4-4-2 with McKennie on the wing (where he has played quite a bit for Juve) was really smart. Still hope we move on from him after the World Cup, but he out-coached Southgate today.
Southgate was playing for a draw. It was obvious the entire game. England players passing it lazily betweenthe back line, not contesting for set pieces (aside from Harry maguire...), playing sloppy passes in midfield and inviting pressure on themselves whilst laying off the US when they were in possession. These players know how to play possession-based, progressive football. Gareth Southgate doesn't know how to play that type of football, so he goes with whatever is "safe".
Southgate: this is the world cup and we got a point. Goldbridge: "As England, our target should be to win the world cup and were struggling against teams whose target is to make it out of the group" Couldn't have said it better mate 👍 👏
As an Irishman I’m quite happy looking at England being quite poor. As a footy fan, it’s criminal to see such good players and there talent being wasted by a manager who shouldn’t be managing a pub team
Completely agree. So frustrating. We didn't turn up at all. Maguire was immense. We were fortunate not to lose. So poor from Southgate not to use Foden. AGAIN.

@@ecaeas4439 i agree especially with Iran getting that win over Wales. But, I hope our manager makes some adjustments .. formation wise, and I want Jacob Sargent starting, i can not stand us as a 4-4-2 , i mean a 4-3-1-2 is basically the same thing but id like to see the 4-3-3 tried again, shoot we have Yedlin, and Dest. I know Yedlin is a RB/ RWB usually but ive seen him at LWB under a 3-4-1-1 and that could be done well against IRAN ...but the 4-3-3 (against Iran) i think would be best. McKennie also won't be so freaking full of nervous energy , he an Pulisic if they get back their good chemistry whilst playing together it could be a seruously entertaining game.
I’m English but USA deserved to win 💯
@@JustFlexing1 stfu speak for yourself we deserved the win but the referee was blind
Safegate playing Sidegate football again. Was Kane even playing as a striker? Hardly saw him in the box.
Nope my man play cb the whole game 😂
Man had more touches in our box then theirs
Kane had 3 touches in their box
Haha I.thought the same must be a new position, Defensive midfield striker. Will have to try it on my FM save
Kane was in Tim reams pocket so he tried switching to a different position
Neville was right in the post match analysis. Any top team/manager would have Foden and Trent in their starting 11. Build the team around your most creative technical players.
yea idk why Foden was not playing that guy is a nightmare to play against espicaly as a United fan i am well aware of the damage he can inflict not just goal scoring but the passing and creativity this guy has to set up other players
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Yeah Foden is England's best player, and Trent can split open a defence with ease. The US were there for the taking
Neville said that after he was saying trent shouldn't play
@@leem195 you could make the argument Trent shouldn't have started in favour of a safer RB but it's inexcusable to keep him on the bench in the last hour an hour when you're chasing a goal. He's one of the best creative players in the world and Southgate doesn't use that at all
Foden yes. But Trent cannot defend.
As an American I'm blown away they didn't bring Foden on.
Doesn't take much.
I’m an American and I was happy to see the lineup and the subs. That being said, I don’t want to take too much away from my team. Pulisic controlled the game and kept pressure on England.
geo reyna not playing is a crime
I think The USMT deserves all the credit,Tyler Adams And Musah shut down the England’s midfield
The warning signs were there after he said we were sloppy at the back. After that it was straight back to dull slow pass back and every player defend defend defend
Good point.
spot on
Crap defending, too
@@alexanderhowarth6460 You’re clueless!
@@alexanderhowarth6460 thought Maguire did OK. Southgate is too negative, why have Sako not alongside Kane and Sterling..?
As an American, my hope was in Southgate's inability to manage the moment, and perhaps a bit of slack from ENG following their very impressive first match. Forturnately was right on both accounts.
Berhalter did a fine job. Don’t get the hate for him. He’s managed this team well during the WC
Spot on. Total coward of a coach. Never win with him. Another wasted golden generation.
Harsh to single out Trippier. Watch Trippier for Newcastle. The majority of his passes go forward, many of them defence-splitting. Why? Because he has Miguel Almiron ahead of him, and who runs at full-pelt for fun, and is always available for the pass. With England, there's no movement ahead of Trippier so he passes sideways and back. It's boring, and it ends up with the back four playing keep-ball.
The midfield was absent, and Kane is sooooo obviously off the pace. Trouble is is that he's an icon and the main man when it comes to FA branding. Like Shearer playing at Newcastle three years longer than he should have, Harry's peaked.
Spot on. The midfield was the problem - Mount and Rice were ineffectual and lost to their US counterparts. No team can build effective attacks without a firm midfield - it's probably why Maguire looked so good, because he had to defend more than usual. And Trippier is decent.
Maddison came to get a tan, how he Wilson and foden ain’t getting on the pitch is crazy
Maddison injured but Foden is the question
Gagfsfvf
Man said Wilson lmao
@@Iz78867 harry Kane lacked pace and urgency wouldn’t have minded a Wilson sub tbf
Harry Kane has been useless, he should’ve brought Ivan Toney along as another attacking option
Tyler Adams is one of the fastest center midfielders in the world. You see the way he tracked down Saka?
He's been unreal for Leeds this season.
When Gregg Berhalter of all people isn't the worst manager on the pitch at a World Cup fixture, then yeah you've got a really serious problem.
He might actually be learning on the job. Results are the ultimate metric and the USA tied England. We’ll see how he handles irans low block and jail break counters.
I come and watch your videos everytime I am frustrated with England's performance
I can’t believe that some of the most talented and valuable footballers looked worse than a bunch of soccer players.
As an American I was so worried about the subs then I saw Henderson 😂😂🎉
At that moment I realized Southgate really is the English version of Gregg 🤣
Not surprised that, as an American, you do t realise that Hendo was needed at that point. You were cutting through our midfield, Bellingham was chasing shadows. We were much more solid after he came on. That being said we needed more attacking options on too like TAA and Foden.
Well played nevertheless and good luck against Iran 😊
@@rlubin9356 you mean champions league , premier league , fa cup , league cup , world club champion winning captain Henderson ....
@@nevermindthebollocks1171 I don't have anything against Henderson my point was England needed a goal and instead of bringing on Foden Rashford or Grealish he decided to bring a defensive midfielder first. Sure England played a bit better with him but I think that had more to do with USA tiring out than Henderson . To bo fair if England had brought on Foden and the other attackers earlier on I think they would have won but as an American I'm not complaining
You got a draw you yanks bum imagine celebrating draws.

"2-0 at least". 😂
@@esseffsee so you're saying we shouldn't be beating USA? The reason we didn't win is because of Southgate boring defensive tactics
@@cooknaris No, its because half of your team are, frankly, not good enought to be in the WC. Just because you are english and play in the PL doesnt mean you are a top player like most of you seem to think. Despite doing sod all for decades (EC doesnt count since you got that served on a silver plate) and you still seriously think England is a contender for the WC? Jesus man. Brazil would run rings around England.
I know Maguire did well but the reason for that was because we rarely left our half and Harry had all the support in the world. It's a strange thing but when the team does bad, he does good (for the wrong reasons) and when the team plays well pressing high and aggressive, he does bad.
He does bad when team plags good? U didnt see the match against Iran???😑 learn to put some respect he is improving
Bro. Go rewatch the Iran game.
Cap. Maguire is the defender that plays as a wall. So mostly he tries to win aerial attacks and sometimes slide tackles but near the goalkeeper . It's just that if he missed the tackle everyone is like " OOh mY gOd HaRRy maGuIrRe SuCkS"
@@erasedspirit114 lol all fun and games till the "wall" plays against experienced attackers and not Timothy weah and Iran attackers
I believe you are right. Good for maguire being man of the match but if England played attacking football he would struggle same like he does at United. He shined today because of the defensive football they are playing yet it is obvious England's strength is in attack.
Great commentary. I was squeaky bummed all through the match. Absolutely ridiculous performance by England. USA did an awesome job
I just hate this England team and manager tbh. I have zero interest in this World Cup. The hypocrisy amongst the media, managers, players and pundits is sickening.
when a game actually winds you up you know it's bad - Listening to Harry Maguire makes me feel like punching the telly.
I do love how Southgate only makes subs when there's only 15 or so minutes left to play!
He is clueless. He is no tactician. Our players are talented and coached well in their clubs, nothing to do with Southgate. He needs to go
It’s a trick he learned from Solskjær
@@Intz51 yeah let’s get in a real tactician like capello he’ll bring it home
@@Intz51 Southgate isn't the answer... but give me a realistic manager that's gonna come in and do better than a semi final and a final because Unless you win it then it's no better than what the country has done since 2018... don't say Potter, Howe,Tuchel either Realistic
shouldve brought on foden and trent around the 60 minute
Southgate was happy not losing. He actually might be looking for 2nd place for different run in. Shocking stuff. Look at Ecuador in other game. Dripping wet and out on their feet. Imagine England players giving it that
Yeah agree, he is just a defensive manager and unfortunately it’s never to change. He learnt from defensive managers and has always managed underdog defensive clubs. If we as fans don’t believe he can win a tournament then I’m sure the players know that better than us and think the same. Would love if he proves us wrong and goes and wins the WC 😂
England are lucky that the US didn't put early crosses in and take advantage of the height difference between Trippier and Timothy Weah. The same like Juve once did with Manzukic* against Carvagal. I thought they would figure it out in the second half. They played bravely and confidently as well.
As an American I was disappointed we didn't win. With the way they played.
I agree 100% with your analysis. I feel exactly the same
he was about to say united stand hahaha
Monday- England walking this tournament
Friday- Southgate out 😂😂😂
England fans for you 😂
I was still Southgate out on Monday and didn’t get carried away
We’ve been southgate out since before the tournament started
On Monday it was coming home. Now everything's wrong lmao
I don't think any premier league club will hire Southgate post world cup. He's not on the level the media and English Pundits potrayed him to be.
It’s quite remarkable the difference between National football and Champions League football. I keep having flashbacks in my head of what it’s like. It’s like the difference between PL and League Two
"if USA were Brazil or France they would have beaten us" Unreal stuff, cheers Michael Owen.
If USA were better in front of goal, they wouldn't need France or Brazil.
Mark my words England are going to get to the semi-final by beating easy teams and lose to Japan somehow
It's still just a group match. They are on 4 points. So what's the big problem unless what you see is an eventual loss on penalties in the quarters.
@@nmz3450 Watch Japan win it all... lol
Maguire has be very good so far in the tournament. Would be good if we had a player like that for ManU.

Spot on. Eddie Howe would be my vote as next England manager but he will want to go as deep as he can with Newcastle.
Hands off our Eddie m8
Eddie Howe is managing a top 4 premier league team, why would he manage an international team? Name one manager that has been successful domestically and internationally.
When I heard Southgate is the best paid international team manager of them all nowadays I almost choked to death with the chicken I was having for lunch
Is that counting what the other country's teams chip in?
Before USA game... it's coming home 🍻
After USA game ... we're coming home 😂
this would be even more embarrassing than 2014 if they go home now because at least in 2014 they had Italy and Uruguay 2 pretty decent teams but they have one of the easiest groups ever and are still struggling

@@innerarts4091 Italy was a average team in 2014 and still are today, difference is Italy plays as a team and wins things...England have overrated overpriced players and you see that in performances and this is coming from a italian
Agree completely with your take, Goldbridge. Outside of playing the USA, I watch England. I feel bad for those on the bench that could have completely changed the pace and outcome to the game. England has too much talent to be playing counterattack tactics when they should be on the front foot. I thought Southgate said the shackles were coming off only to put the boys in concrete shoes
Hardly counter attacking. Did you watch the game?
So much potential in the squad and a boring manager at the helm. What a waste.
As an Irish man looking on I can say without doubt Southgate is totally mis using your very talented group of players he has no clue how to get the best out of them
One of the most boring matches I’ve ever seen

Why is Foden ignored?

Why is Southgate a manger?
Shocking
I’m happy England got humbled. England fans acted like their team was the best team at the tournament after beating Iran.
100%
This is more about you than England fans.
Why did foden not play? He’s literally our most promising player by a long way
USA is a real good young squad, praying we beat Iran and make a little run after groups, we need to finish better, lacking a solid striker.
I’ll admit I don’t know much about the tactics of football, so genuine question: why does England’s biggest talent Phil Foden not get a kick for his national team? I don’t understand it, surely the team should be built around someone with this much creativity and ability? I can’t see it happening elsewhere.
He's mid for England
@@Iz78867 the guy's only started about 2 games smh
Like most of the squad, he plays for a club that centres on possession based total football philosophy. Southgateball is more defensive minded in nature, more negative and less creative. A player like foden can't shine in a team that lacks the technicality, confidence and most importantly chemistry to deliver a proper ball to him. Doesn't help that he's very small either, so not much of a target man
@@Stinkmeaner420 Good players don't need the perfect ball, perfect pass, perfect team and perfect chances to shine
@@Iz78867 i never said he needed perfection to shine, but statistically speaking, the more chances you create, the more goals you're expected to score. That's literally what xG means. You can't expect foden, kane or even raheem to do much when you have the likes of trippier, shaw and mount playmaking for them. I support chelsea, so trust me. We've been dealing with this issue since hazard left.
Foden not getting any mints was like Reyna not getting any mints vs Wales
its not good to be chewing while running
Did his breath smell
USA did have a good defensive game. Do remember that a few months ago England was relegated in the nations league. With the players England got they should win the world cup.
They are poor at the back, come on. They are a high pressing team, but the defensive line is vulnerable, and I see Iran getting goals against them. If Harry Kane was trying to get a goal and not constantly marking Adams, we would have got something. And that is how Southgate sets us up. That is why we will not win anything. It is horrible tactically. Mark is spot on I think.
Nations league is irrelevant when players are trying to win the epl and champions league
@@t.c.4321 the usa have been one of the best defensive teams in the tournament so wtf are you on abt?😂😂a stupid mistake is the only reason wales scored
United got a terrible backline
36 year old pensioner team ream and MLS defender zimmerman is a very weak backline
Robinson and Dest are ok but we have to penetrate that backline
@@jadenn216 So by your logic, every team that finished 0 - 0 after match day 1 has a better defense than the USA? There's been at least 5 boring 0 - 0 draws. Will he funny to watch Iran steamroll you but.
Phil foden is just a player profile like dybala
They need freedom on the ball and southgate doesn't know to use them
Would any team in the Premiership choose Mount over Foden? Not one! But Southgate does. He would never survive at any Premier League club.
Trippier has had a fantastic season (backed by stats) but because of the Southgate's tactics or lack of them has no outlets. Just one example of Southgate's inadequacies.
p s. Southgate seemed happier at the draw than the win against Iran because we conceded 2 goals. That says a lot about him. Sort of the Steve Bruce of international managers 🤣
Grrr I want my night back. And I want Southgate’s face on a turnip
I completely agree with you goldbridge, England need a attacking manager with that squad it's criminal how he sets them up and worse they believe him 😩🙈
Southgate and Gregg Berhalter are kind of similar in terms of favoritism and tactical inflexibility, but Gregg going 4-4-2 with McKennie on the wing (where he has played quite a bit for Juve) was really smart. Still hope we move on from him after the World Cup, but he out-coached Southgate today.
Southgate was playing for a draw. It was obvious the entire game. England players passing it lazily betweenthe back line, not contesting for set pieces (aside from Harry maguire...), playing sloppy passes in midfield and inviting pressure on themselves whilst laying off the US when they were in possession. These players know how to play possession-based, progressive football. Gareth Southgate doesn't know how to play that type of football, so he goes with whatever is "safe".
High standards Mark, love it. That's what makes great teams great.
Like United?
I think Southgate was chosen as the PR manager, but there was a mix-up and he ended up being the coach. The only logical reason for him being there.
😂😂😂 he just took it and ran with it. The press conferences are world class though
Southgate: this is the world cup and we got a point.
Goldbridge: "As England, our target should be to win the world cup and were struggling against teams whose target is to make it out of the group"
