The Football Daily at the People World Cup 2026.
With Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith. Live from L.A.
Hello, this is the Football Daily with Rick and Lloyd. And there's no point dancing around it. I'm absolutely gutted, mate. I'm absolutely... Well, not only am I gutted, I'm also quite cross. You're gutted, you're cross.
I'm gutted, cross, sad.
Disappointed. Disappointed. Yeah. Yeah. You know when people say, I'm not angry, I'm disappointed? Yeah. I'm angry and disappointed. We should probably just let the listeners know that if they don't know what we're talking about. I feel like if they're listening to the football today, they probably know what happened. Oh, right. So you're saying that my... Yeah, go on. I was about to say my mum, but my mum was... Yeah, I know your mum was. I've seen the photos of her with her friends. My mum was texting me some fantastic stuff.
Some fruity language in there, actually.
Very fruity language, which we'll go through maybe in a minute. England lost 2-1 to Argentina in the FA Cup.
What?
Have you lost your mind? I wish it was the FA Cup. I have absolutely lost my mind. England lost 2-1 to Argentina in the FA Cup today, if anyone was wondering. The World Cup semi-final. Oh, my goodness. I mean, that just sums up. This is last day of a stag day for you. Yeah. Well, it's one of those where it's inexplicably a three-day stag do. So you've had a great time on the first two. And on the third day, everyone's like, why aren't we home? Do you know what? I wish I was home. Also, as well, because we're here and we're here to the very end, this basically has the vibe of it's a week-long stag do, but the stag got really badly injured on day two, had to be airlifted back to the UK. We're still here. We're still here.
And the best man went with him, so you've just got four or five strays. And we don't necessarily even know each other. No. And we're going, should we still go paintballing? Are we going to go paintballing in New York? It's what he would have wanted.
How did England react emotionally after their World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina?
He's not dead. Well, we don't know that. Anyway. Yeah. So we went and watched it in the Irish pub that we've watched a few other games. And it... All right. You shut up. Not in the mood for that. an oink cheers me up thank you mate you know I like that and it was really it was really tense because Argentina came out and they were aiming to ruffle England's feathers they did and it was quite dirty the ref I thought was abysmal I don't know what he was playing at and it was obviously part of Argentina's game plan And it, well, it sort of worked. But then, you know, after 55 minutes, Anthony Gordon scored. It's a great goal. We went absolutely ballistic. And it was a fantastic feeling. And I honestly thought, we've kind of, we've gone through it.
We've done the hard work here. We've done the hard bit. Now you protect it. Now, what I wasn't expecting is Thomas Tuchel to try and protect it in the way that he did. which is bring on every defender he had at his disposal. And so just sit in a line at the back. Genuinely, did every... I'm so cross. Did every defender come on? I'm just going to have a little look at the start line. Well, Konza came on for Gordon. Yeah, okay. Dan Byrne came on. Poor old Trevor Chaliba. Oh, Trevor Chaliba. Trevor Chaliba was like, oh my, get on it. Yeah, I've got a chance. Oh my God. Get Kane off.
Get Kane off. He's blowing.
He's blowing. Just going up to Thomas. Hey, look at Kane. Look at Kane. I'm checking. Look, we'll just go four in the middle and then a couple of fullbacks as well. I'm checking for scores. It's live. They're giving him 5.6, Thomas. Let's get him off. Get me up top with Dan Byrne. Yeah, I mean, that's what it was reduced to at the end. And then sort of bringing on Ivan, Tony and Rashford with sort of three minutes left. You know, that's pointless, mate. You were wearing your Grimsby shirt. It's been lucky up to this point. Not anymore. So we're going to have to burn it. Well, do you know what? There was a little bit where you thought the new Grimsby shirt that came out the other week is a replica of that old one.
