He's almost un-English in that sense, isn't he?

England have always lost heads in those big moments and Harry Kane doesn't do that.

Watching Spain the other day as well, because I had Spain right up there as a contender.

Suddenly now I'm like, I actually reckon England look way better than Spain, to be honest, against a far better opponent as well in Croatia.

I got stressed from the first half because I was Googling the new fella and then I just went to bed.

I think we don't think enough about like transitions between managers because like it's almost one of these like things that falls into the black and white really doesn't it like we think that a new managerial regime should almost be like a rip it up and start again so you know manage to get down with faint praise in the same way that Arne Slott was by the way when you know he wins the league with what everyone calls Jurgen Klopp's team like

a transition between managers if you're the person who's in charge of appointing a manager should be we want to build off what the last manager did well and you know sort of continue that with a new manager but plug in the new managers you know strengths to this and I think that's what England have managed to do with Tuchel really like I think Gareth Southgate really like sort of harnessed this like almost togetherness in the England squad but they were a bit too almost like boring to watch at times I think it was

occasionally like good tournament football but maybe you'd say that there were too many of those big games when England fell short where they didn't go and seize the moment enough really and that's what they seem a bit more set to do under Tuchel I think him being a bit of a colder manager helps like he's almost been compared to Capello really hasn't he but I think when you hear all the lads who played in Capello's team talk

they maybe needed someone who did like harness the togetherness a little bit more and not someone who was who was cold who kept cold factions of the squad apart from each other really so you can definitely see how he works with this England side he's making big decisions I mean obviously the people he left out is the first one but did you see Rooney at our time yesterday or it might have been pre-game talk about Bellingham and how he took Bellingham off the side six months ago

Yeah, it's a celebration of togetherness, isn't it?

And the World Cup is probably the biggest one of them, I guess, in any sport around the world.

Really, like it's the one that brings the most people together into one place.

And it's like, you know, Keo was saying before how good a time the Scotland fans are having in Boston.

I can imagine that they're sort of like as much as being...

a group of Scottish people in like one square or one place I can imagine they are like mixing with the locals as well and that's the kind of like nice thing about it and like you say it is hard because there's a part of you like as you start to enjoy it and you start to like you know get get into like the football side of it especially rather than just like sitting on social media and scrolling through like content of fans

When you're watching the football, you sort of do the David Mitchell thing of like, am I the sports washer who either baddies?

Because that's kind of, you know, it's the reason that these like sports washing enterprises do attach themselves to unfortunately like joyous and, you know, together things like the World Cup is because while you all have a nice time here and, you know, celebrate your togetherness here, we're going to be doing this really sort of evil and conniving thing in the background.

And Infantino has, of course, been very much a part of that with,

Donald Trump without getting, you know, uber political about that side of things.

And that was like the sad build up to it, but it was all we had in the build up.
