The Football Daily at the People World Cup 2026. With Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith. Live from L.A.
Hello, welcome to the Football Daily with me, Rick Edwards, and back again, Lloyd Griffith. Yeah, it's nice to have you back actually. Honestly, I missed you a tiny bit. No, I listened to the podcast whilst I was away and you did mention me quite a lot. If anything, I'm honest, it was a little confidence booster because I was listening in and I mean, you obviously, you know, you know, throw a few little jibes my way. Yeah, that's absolutely fine. But then, Guillaume Balaguet. who I love, thinks I'm absolutely hilarious. He's been to see me do stand-up a couple of times and he was bigging me up and I absolutely loved that. Second language, isn't it? Well, I can do comedy in two languages now. Can you? Well, I mean... As in English or English?
In English or... English for a Spanish speaker. Or Steve McLaren, that kind of thing. And then also, another little confidence boost, that Dion Doblin thinks I'm that much of a good actor. He didn't realise it was me that was playing Steve from Gillingham. Yes, I think it took me half a second. Well, yeah, because we spend all day, you know, with each other and stuff.
Yeah, we do.
And I've heard you're Steve from Gillingham before. Is that how you wake me up in the morning? No, no, I booked a table for six people. I want you. Also like an audition for a Guy Ritchie film. If he's listening, Guy. Which he's not. I know he is. He's not. But it was nice that Dion thought I was a fantastic actor as well. He didn't say that. He didn't have a clue. Slightly different. Anyway, enough of that. I'm back. And what a day to come back. Did you win any money, by the way? Oh, let's not talk about that. About $600. Did you? Well, give or take $600. Well done, mate. Thank you. I won. I won $50. $50. Okay. Can I take that back? Yeah. I am absolutely full of, I think, adrenaline. Yeah. And cortisol. Is that the stress one?
Yes. And various other things. My body is a maelstrom in here. We've just had a mad two hours. Oh, my. Man alive. That was insane. It was a lot, wasn't it? It really was. It was too much. It was too much for me. 11 minutes. I mean, we knew it was going to be 11 minutes extra time. Ref, we've only got 10 men left. You sent one of our fellas off. It's not fair. And the goalkeeper shouldn't be on the pitch. No, you were quite keen on that idea, weren't you? I didn't enjoy the fact that he stayed on. No, you didn't at all. Didn't even get a card. Yeah, bring D on him. Come on, big man. Come on! Come on! Come on! That's disgusting. Are you... I mean, beyond stressful, Dion. Beyond stressful. That was an extraordinary game of football.
So, England... It was horrible to watch, wasn't it? It was... Horrible to watch. It was a few minutes that were lovely. Two in particular.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah. But it was... Like, the last sort of 40 minutes of that were agony. That was... an extraordinary game of football so England it was horrible to watch wasn't it it was horrible to watch it was a few minutes that were lovely two in particular yes yes yes exactly yeah but it was like the last sort of 40 minutes of that were agony so England beat Mexico just 3-2 and it had it basically had absolutely everything red card two penalties five goals a load of VAR stuff Dan Byrne Dan Byrne coming on which was, I think, surprising, but worked. Bodies on the line at the end. Relentless, relentless pressure from Mexico. Us having literally zero out ball at all. It was just like, as far as you can. To anyone?
No, no. Just as far as you can. Doesn't matter. Takes up a few seconds.
Get it away from your goal.
Takes up a few seconds. It felt like clay pigeon shooting.
