Ian, a very warm welcome. Thanks for having us. I think the England shirt suits you.
It's lovely. What is this, 82, is it? Yeah, I think so. Is it an old one? 82, that's when you're in your prime. Slightly before my time.
Well, you are a senior now, aren't you? Yeah, I am, unfortunately. Are you a senior next week?
Yes, US Senior Open next week. My first Zimmer frame's coming out. You used to play a bit of football when you were young. Did you have a trial with Tottenham? I did. Only one, though. They said I was shit. It's OK, I'm an Arsenal fan. What position? Look at you there. Centre-half. Look at the shin pads.
Wow, they're amazing.
Unbelievable.
So... Good year for Arsenal. You must have enjoyed this season.
Yeah, it was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I mean, the run they've been on over the last few years and I was nervous the last five or six games. I think all Arsenal fans were. Very nervous. But, you know, to see him get over the line was amazing. Yeah. if that had done the double, if, that would have been icing on the cake. But I mean, it was pretty amazing. I was happy for the lads and, you know, really to see them, you know, Declan and the boys get.
You were at the England game today. It was a wet one. You had the poncho on, didn't you? It was nice, yeah. Another picture of that as well. There you go. Look at that.
It was cute. I did have a hairdo about 20 minutes before that.
What were Ian Poulter’s first impressions from the England match day experience?
It just went all floppy. But it was good. First World Cup game was this week. I went to the Ghana game.
Went to the Ghana game as well?
Yeah.
So the family, which was pretty... After about an hour of this one, you thought, are you ever going to see a goal?
I was like, oh no, I can't wait 50 years to do the World Cup and I can't see two draws in a row.
Alan, you were at the game as well. You were doing the radio. Radio core comms. Good atmosphere.
Yeah, it was a really good atmosphere, yeah. I think the big picture is they won the game, they won the group, that's what they set out to do. We can pick the bones out of what we felt was good and what we felt was not so good. We'll do that shortly. Three outstanding performances, Elliot Anderson. Jude Bellingham being man of the match, absolutely, with his goal and the assist. And Harry Kane as well, I thought, were very good.
I might add Marcus Rashford. We'll talk about that in a little while. You were here, Rob. Emotional support for you, yeah. I know. Shoulders to cry on. Yeah. No, no, no.
Did you see the picture of him? I saw it when I came back from the game. It was on my social media. When he jumped up, when Harry scored as if to be all happy for you, you were fucking devastated. Genuinely, genuinely.
Michael's got his wish. I'm not devastated at all. I had the record for 40 years. I was getting bored of it. Anyway, lots to talk about from today's England game. But first, let's hear what our friend Harry Maguire made of it. I caught up with him at full time. Harry, nice to see you again. Tell us where you are.
Yeah, I'm in Portugal, just in a villa, just chilling out a little bit, doing a bit of training, a bit of golf. Missing you guys in New York, but I had to get away and get myself training again.
Yeah, you've got to get fit for a new season. What did you make of the performance, Harry?
Listen, I think these games are tough. I really do think they're tough. I mean, I think the most important game in the group was the first game against Croatia. Um, and they'll take the positives from that, knowing that the, they'd probably be the, the, the second strongest team in a group convincingly. Well, so these games are tough and they are the moments what decide these games. And, um, set plays are massive I've played in many of these games and when you're on top it's crazy how many times a set play opens the game up for you and we have players who can score from them and I think Jude was the best player on the pitch tonight and again once again he's proved everyone that he should be starting for England and he's going to be a big player in this tournament for us
