It was a dead rubber before England kicked off against Slovenia and nothing except England’s ability to disappoint and their fans to stir up entitled outrage on it.
ITV were covering them for the first time, presented by Mark Pougatch somewhat grizzled veteran of such occasions. Roy Keane, Ange Postecoglou, Ian Wright and Gary Neville are tonight’s pundits in an overloaded panel of four. An interview with Southgate resembles a hostage video. He announces a predictable side, despite the game being a free hit. No experimentation. Roy says he thinks Foden will ‘do the business’. Which sounded like and was a hostage to fortune. Karen Carney and Laura Woods are pitchside to discuss the mood. Men in the big seats, women on the fridge on the pitch; a bad look. Karen calls the ever fertile Kyle Walker ‘ a weapon’ . She meant it in a good way.
Interviews with Declan Rice and Southgate interspersed with old footage of old managers and pundits bemoaning England was especially good, particularly Mick Channon’s mullet. Rice treats criticism with mockery, seemingly unaware he’s only rich because of our attention. He says the team will be on the front foot. They’re not.
It all goes to show that fans and pundits are very predictable and say the same cliched things year after year, seemingly without realising. You wonder when they’ll realise the players, when put together, are just not good enough. That’s a fact they don’t seem able to accept and blame the manager instead, all 17 since Sir Alf.
‘If you’re not performing, you get criticised,’ says Roy, who thinks the modern players are too sensitive. He looks as disgusted as we all feel. Good old Roy. He doesn’t go along with all the usual guff about the players mentality.
