I feel like this is going to be a game where we're going to miss Trent Alexander-Arnold.

No, we can't, actually.

No, there's nothing wrong with that.

I think the round of 16 is a really difficult game to be honest.

I think I am intimidated whichever opponent they might face if they get past DR Congo because it's either Mexico in Mexico at altitude or it's Ecuador in Mexico at altitude and they're used to playing at altitude and I think that could be the conditions.

We spoke a lot about the conditions pre-tournament and it's not quite felt in terms of the heat at least.

it's not quite felt like that's had that much of an impact on England just yet but this could be a real test I'm slightly worried about it to be honest but imagine they get past that I think they're a better side than Brazil I think I'm I think I'm I think I'm fairly confident on that I think I worry about Norway if it's Norway but I think they're a better side than Brazil I think they can be a better side than Argentina on the day and I think that look if it's France in the final they absolutely smash them because France aren't all that so um

No, I said runners-up pre-tournament.

I said runners-up pre-tournament to Spain in the final, and I don't think I've changed that too much just yet.

I've not packed one with me, sorry.

So I am nothing if not a total hypocrite. voice-verified

So I decided this is what a 35-year-old in a replica shirt looks like. voice-verified

It's a peace offering to the haters. voice-verified

I hope you're happy. voice-verified

I bought this when I was 15. voice-verified

I can't explain it. voice-verified

It was totally mindless behavior, but there you go. voice-verified
