The Football Daily Podcast. At the People World Cup 2026.
With Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith.
And we are up and running.
What was the outcome of England's first World Cup match?
England got their first win of the tournament 4-2 against Croatia. It feels good, doesn't it, Lloyd? It feels very good. I mean, it was a lot of stress. But first off, we were reasonably stressed. Which we will talk about later. Now we are in Ye Olde King's Head as normal but we're in a slightly different location today because as you can imagine this is the main English pub in Santa Monica. It was absolutely rammed and they weren't prepared to give us a section of their pub. Which I understand.
Completely understandable.
So we have filmed already earlier on in, well, basically a shop, the sort of back of a shop. Yeah, so Ye Olde King's Head has a few sections. It's basically got like the sports bar, the main bit. Then they've got a little restaurant. restauranty area then they've got a little tea room like an afternoon tea room which is quite regal which is what we're in now that's what we're in now yeah and then there's also a gift shop yes ye olde kingshead gift shop and so we were in the we were in the back of that next to the fridges with the with the drinks and the cakes Yeah, basically eye level with a Bakewell tart. Yeah. And then actually mouth level with a Bakewell tart. Because we both had a Bakewell tart.
And now belly level with a Bakewell tart. There was a lot of people coming in and stocking up, actually. I was quite surprised. And then just seeing two blokes by a fridge speaking to an Exington goalkeeper. Yeah, it's fairly... I mean, it's all quite surreal, isn't it? Very surreal. We actually watched the game in a different bar. Jameson's, just up the road. Irish bar. Very nice. Quite... But weirdly, when we arrived, we thought it was going to... Because we'd been past and seen people watching games in there. It's been packed. We cycle past every day. Yeah. And so we were like, oh, that'd be a really good place to go and get for a bit of variety. And when we turned up, and we turned up probably an hour or so before kick-off.
Yeah, about 40 minutes. And we thought, well, there's no one here. No. And we were about to turn around, then another couple of English lads just came over and said, oh, no, this will be good. It's just they all turn up. sort of at the whistle. But it meant that we got fantastic seats in this pub. And then it did get really, really busy. And then it was, I mean, it was brilliant. It was brilliant. It was a really great, really great pub. Loads of atmosphere, loads of English fans in there. And some Croatian fans. And some Croatian fans, yes. It made a bit of noise. It was great. It was really great to experience an England game in America. In an Irish pub. There was a lot going on. There was a lot going on. And we had a great time.
I mean, it was quite a nerve-wracking game, as I said at the start. Obviously, the first half more so than the second. And there was a load of Americans in there as well, just enjoying it. But most people were supporting England. I didn't see many just sort of casual observers. Yeah, there was a few just to your left. I didn't look to my left at any point. Oh, did you not? No, no. I was absolute eyes on the screen. There's a funny thing that Simon Peach, who's the chief football writer at the Press Association, said. Booze ring around the ground as the teams go off for the Powerade hydration break. in an air-conditioned stadium under a roof and it is sort of ridiculous but there was a a wonderful moment where you needed to uh we were drinking non-alcoholic lager we were to try and sort of get into the spirit of it but without actually drinking obviously because we're professional and um after about 20 minutes you're like oh i really need to you know but and i was like
The hydration break. I suddenly realised it's perfect. It was absolutely perfect. So whilst the players are taking on liquids, I'm doing the opposite. Yeah. To be fair, it's great. I mean, it's not great.
