Football Daily · World Cup: Wayne Rooney On England v Argentina · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

And I think that's certainly there at the moment.

And yeah, the players, they've been in big games, haven't they?

The two-year-old championship finals.

Some of them players have got that experience of being in big games.

And I think that definitely helps the team this time around.

Yeah, you're enjoying it more if you win, obviously, but I think that's one of my regrets.

And it's what I always say when you get asked, you know, what any advice to young players and stuff is, you wish you'd enjoyed the moments more than the occasion a bit more because you can get tied up in the pressure of the game and...

and obviously there is a lot of expectation so I think for the players there'll be a lot going through their minds at the moment and sometimes it's good to just step back a little bit and understand what they're doing and if they know what I'm sure they do they know what the belief in the hope from from the fans back home I certainly see it through my children and how excited they are and that's what they're giving to a lot of fans back home and and hopefully they can

somehow found a way to enjoy it.

I think just recognising where you are and what you're doing and what you're trying to achieve and maybe just taking a bit of time to yourself and understanding that because the players will feel it's all or nothing, it's do or die.

And I suppose it is in some ways, but actually...

When you've come out of the game, you look back, you think you should have enjoyed your time.

You know, you're playing for your country, representing your country at the highest level.

You need to try and take it in a bit and, you know, take that experience in.

And for them players, it'll be very difficult.

And so there's no answer of how you enjoy it.

But I think just taking it in and trying to have that freedom to help you on the pitch as well.

So hopefully they've found a way.

And listen, there's all kinds of sports psychologists out there as well who I'm sure the players will have to try and help them deal with that and enjoy it a bit more.

I think his handling of Bellingham has been very calculated starting from last year in terms of leaving him out of the squad.
