What did the hosts say in the opening about England’s first post‑World Cup match?
Hello and welcome to the Rest is football with Alan Shearer, former Premier League winner, Micah Richards, and me, Gary Lineker. England have played their first game since crashing out of the World Cup semi-final versus Argentina. And although we've lost again, chaps, to the world champion Spain, there were lots of positives for Thomas Tucker to take. We'll come to that shortly, but how's how should we? We can be Micah.
Guys, I knew you were gonna start with this. Nothing has changed. Can we see it? There's been nothing from the Premier League. Man City stances just still the same statement that they released in 2023. And until then. You're still a Premier League winner. Exactly. So until then, I will hold my judgment until everything is announced. Oh,
what a
mess.
Incredible. Obviously we're jest on here, but it has serious um implications and ramifications, this whole thing. Um it's not official yet, like you say, Micah. So I don't think it's something that we'll we'll go into in depth now. But as soon as um it is official, and it does appear that that would be um very likely that they've lost pretty much all of um all of the cases of the one hundred and fifteen. So we'll cover that in due course, but more important things, Alan, another wedding yesterday, another daughter gone.
Yeah. How was it? Slightly blurred this morning, guys, a bit of a hangover. Yeah, it was an amazing day. Um I loved it. Uh we all had a great day and um Obviously very happy the the the new couple. Um so yeah it was um it all went really well. The weather was great, everything was um was brilliant, had an amazing day.
Now it's quite unusual to have two daughters married in uh just over a month apart. Yeah. Did they get a bit competitive on over the wedding who had the best wedding? Or did you No,
no, no, they're not. They I mean they're very different girls. They're not like that at all. Obviously one we had uh last month was in France and Provence, and this one here is in North Yorkshire where I'm still here. So the celebrations are still ongoing um and will be until uh until tonight. So God, I'm looking forward to a holiday. They're on the bank balance this summer's taking a
Well can I just kind of um pull you up on some? One got one a wedding in Provence, as you pronounce it, and one's in Yorkshire. How does that work out?
Your neck of the woods. Are you saying Provence is better than Yorkshire? Is that what you're saying? I I didn't I didn't say I just said we
intimated it. You intimated it. There are stark differences between Provence and you put on this silly accent and then you say Yorkshire. So I'm guessing
I'm guessing there's a difference. No, they were very different weddings, yeah. Obviously you saw the pictures of the ones in in France. Yeah, very different. But I have to say the weather yesterday was amazing, blue sky, so the pictures I'm sure will will be great, yeah. Um what about your speech? What do you do do you do
both
speeches? Did you get emotion? Did you do the same? I mean I I got emotional e before I even said a word yesterday, I just looked at my daughter when I had my my speech ready to go and I just looked and I went, I could s I could feel myself welling up. So um yeah, very emotional. Really, really is.
I suppose having got emotional with the first one, if you hadn't with the second, you'd have been wrong. Yeah. No, it's not a good idea. You don't care enough to say about me. Anyway, um congratulations um um to to all concerned. Let's turn our attention to the England game, a defeat um against a very, very good side, Micah. Oh, I mean
Spain uh excellent. I just love you know in the first 10 minutes of the game. Yeah. I was looking at tactics, what they do. Because I know we all know the brilliant players, but what do they do differently? So the center rafts go really deep to get the ball. At one time I saw Simone rolling the ball just to draw England out a little bit. Then they will go pop to the left, pop to the middle, right, and everyone is so comfortable on the ball. It was a job. To watch, and even if it didn't happen, where it would have got cut out with England's press, they would try it again and they would try it again.
