What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is a global production.
It was fun, wasn't it? All those decisions that Tuchel made, whether it's emotional, whether it's tactical, whether it's selectional, they all seem to be paying off because he is an elite A-list manager. Kane was just the tactical mastermind for this England.
Should we be concerned at all, do you think, about Decker? Because of the slight kind of aggravation on his back?
What makes Tuchel's management style effective for England?
He's like that Monty Python knight. I mean, you can chop all his limbs off and he'll still be going up for corners. Tis but a scratch.
Mbappe arriving, Haaland arriving at the World Cup, Messi. Come on, you've got to do this, Harry. You've got to join this quartet here. The big global stars have arrived.
Welcome to the sports agents. Hi, Gabby.
Hello, Mark. Are you buzzing? Are you on the hype train? Are you feeling like it's coming home? Are you already kind of, you know, working out kind of where you're going to watch the World Cup final? Because you're working on it, aren't you? But yeah.
No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Are you not doing radio? No, I'll be at the golf. Oh, God. I'm doing the open golf that weekend, and then I will drive back from the open golf listening to Kelly and the build-up on the radio, and then I'll catch some of you on the telly.
So you're going to be at the golf. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I love the golf. I know you do. And I know you'd never not do the golf, but that could, that could be an extraordinary day, couldn't it? So what time will the golf finish? She's now, she's now worrying about this schedule.
gone straight into diary mode normally I don't know actually because strangely enough I haven't looked at the protocol for the open yet I've got to get through I think they might change their tee off times if England are in a world cup final yeah they could bring everything forward a bit if I mean normally it finishes between six and seven I would imagine if England or Scotland are in the final they may want it to finish between five and six but I haven't
Yeah, right there. I'm just demonstrating how ahead of ourselves we get. But I think we have a right to be excited about this England team because they last night played such a brilliant brand of football that we, you know, we don't always see in tournaments. And you were there with our three amigos, Joe Hart, Wayne Rooney and Micah Richards afterwards. And, you know, Wayne was part of what possibly was one of the lowest points in terms of a performance, the Algeria game in 2010 in England.
uh in Cape Town and and that the the difference in the way the players played last night was incredible he was also part I was we were talking last night he was also part his very first tournament in the was the Euros of 2004 when uh the England beat Croatia and I think it may have been 4-2 actually and France were in that group um and there was a there was a real spring in their step in that tournament and they had a great group stage um Yes, yeah. So I suppose that shows we have had some good moments before, but in pockets, but also how quickly things can change in a tournament. But they were very positive last night, all three of them. I mean, it's unusual for Micah not to be positive, but Joe and Micah and Wayne, very positive, and particularly positive about...
Tuchel side of things and messages and substitutions and not retreating into a shell but still wanting to go for it let's uh let's bring Henry Winter in football journalist who's in a departure lounge in Dallas uh where England beat Croatia um It was fun, wasn't it?
Brilliant word for it, fun. I've been covering England for, I think I've done 400 of their 1,100 games, and fun doesn't often feature high up on the agenda. I was actually thinking World Cup-wise, I'd probably have to go back to Denmark 2002 when Owen was flying and England won 3-0 against a good Danish side to think of a... When I walked out of a stadium and I talked to England fans, I'm at the airport here at Dallas, the gloriously named Love Field, and bumping into some England fans, and they're just smiling.
