The Bill Simmons Podcast · Messi Takes England Out of the World Cup, Plus Preparing for Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' With Ian Wright, Anthony Dabbundo, and Sean Fennessey · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Don't you dare disrespect him.

The protection he's got,

But the respect he has for that team as well, where he can say, right, I am going to step out.

I'm not going to go involved, get involved in there.

I'm going to step out to this right-hand side.

Now continually get the ball to Messi.

And this is where we made a massive mistake.

We should have seen it.

It's game intelligence from his point of view.

I'm going to stay out here.

And if someone comes with me, okay, then I might have to take them on.

But if they don't, then I'll just keep crossing into that area.

And let's face it, you talk about Messi at 39, my friend, still getting the ball, especially for the winning goal, getting on the outside of our players at 39, crossing with his weaker foot, pinpoint the Tara Martinez scores.

You know, just somebody that knows is great enough to know that I can cause my problems out here and is magnanimous enough to give somebody else the credit in respects of winning the game for them.

So, you know, I mean, I just... I'm disappointed with the manner in which we lost.

You know, I'm not saying that we had the most difficult run to the semifinal.

We didn't.

But I think that...

When you look at our history and we get to these latter stages, I think the World Cup in Qatar when we lost to France, Harry missed that penalty and we lost.

We played a much better game than this.
