We've built football up to be such an important thing and the most important thing in our lives here But when it comes to things like your baby being born and family and life or death, it should really put it into perspective actually. It's really good. It's a great thing. we love it. but there's more things that are more important and family is definitely one of those things , you know, Joe's been talking about gun on a few like escapades Yeah, we're got to do so.

Well, you're either late or you don't attend or when you're there, you don't do it right. So why are whyy do you think we're on to you? Ho man, relelax. We're in LA baby we've got Air andV, I mean we've got the sun here we're here to enjoy, man So he's going to hate it. Yeah I'm there for it. Good. Heate what?'t worry M. So, where do you want to start with this episode? We went to the Belgium Iran game. But you know I want to speak about Jerem Madocku' situation You heard about that, like it's crazyist We're going to get into that. We'll look at England's next game and We'll be chatting out about front freez. We got to talk about because front freezes is where it gets excing for me. That's why get me off my seat. After nearly all the big players have played and add is some sort of impact we can start now judging them and really formulating a front three across the whole tournament. Yeah. So we'll get into that, man. Now you've mentioned it, Aria Let's start with the attacking options. Like you said, big topic of conversation The majority of the big strikers have scored. What are you saying? who you've been impressed with the most? G to Alise Those two for me sow out for France. Yeah. I thought they were both outstanding. and Bape with he' finishing E Lise with his creativity U Messy obviously on a hatit. you can't even look put no further than messy ridiculous to coming at these age thirty eight years old. and dominate People think, you know what he's gone to America, shut down all over, Chilling out now Sippers around on. That's what I thought. He came here pretty honest and said, no, no, no Patrick first day, let's go. Those three of my standouts. Harry Kane againgain, got two goals as well. O verses look good Hvertss look good. Havertss look really good as well. Yeah, I agree Dia Monday in the first game I thought was outstanding. Yeah. secondecond game not as influential. St got it' still got assist,? O assist Yeah.' not as much what it goes, it's got threeree assist. Yeah these good as well. Yeah Yeah quite lot in that It's quite a Like Harlland as wellland Yeah got his Yeah Hand got his customary couple of goals. It's not you expect from him But I think the outstanding was Lemin Yamao again against Saudi stepped up and said, yeep I'm here guys, don't forget me. Yeah Azabel scored a couplees well Razab'sah. I mean, the reality is I want us to pick a top three, right? B at the tournament so far, but there's a single rule one from each country. all right. So You can't have, for example, Emba and Eisa and a team because they're from the same nation. That makes you a bit easier enough for I mean highlight that. Shall I go first? go first? Do you fall free My font free. I'll give a good do it. I'm going Elis on the right I'm going Messy is my false number nine and I'm going Balligan on the left. Okay. can't in the midle Mati on the right be on the left I's the same as yours. but yeah I see. U That means they're right, I want to switch out, bo I can't argue I definitely agree I think you could put five or six players in that free and be quite happy to have your argument about it and you' be quite a convincing can. But I think the reason why I think you're right is because at least say one game, but what a game that was. No one can argue with that. Messy you know, like my man made it look super easy. There's no arguments that he weren't even He weren't even like down for top goal scorer first started. So. And then you look at Batigan and you go, wow, is this the player that left arsenal You can't argue with that. I think I think that's the best front three possible so far Yeah, we'll take up Yeah obviously there's a biger mission in all that Cristella Ronaldo Stump the gaffow a little bit What do you make of the whole respondse to it I don't expect anything less. I've got to be honest with you. I may not agree with elements of it, but I wouldn' not expect Cristiano Ronarddo to play good bad or indifferent and not get huge headlines. So and I think He accepts that as well. He knows that. You may not like it. You won't like it, but I think he accepts it because he knows how big is. is I think he looks at it like because I am the biggest player in the world I am going to get criticise if things aren't going to plan and I don't know. Yeahah, I think he is a bit crazy one game You got to remember everyone's gone he shouldn't play why he's messing their squad up I would go as far as to say if he didn't play in the qualifers, they don't get there because these goals got on there We had this discussion over there won of the tournam I think they're a better team without him right now And you can say they wouldn't have been there without him. That's cool rightight now I think he's His job has got to be close a game out for us. I'll come on and win it last thir. alsoso, if a okay, so if if if one player has been so integral in getting you to a tournament Is it normal that you would go actually once we've got here now, he's not really the guy for us. That doesn't really happen. but what you do have usually happen is like the one hundred eighty of that where you' ask someone like Look at sheer in ninety six, hadn't scored for like, was it over a year or something like that? prior to ninety six, but the guy was always going to play because he was always going to be the number one The Ronaldo situation is almost like the flip reverse of that in terms of he got us to the qualification, but maybe he's no longer the guy that he was. As got to remember it's also an age thing. notot everybody goes into the tournament into the World Cup being forty one years old. I mean, even if you look at the situation with Joe Nevvers, he's getting a lot of heat for his quote, which he said He is just another player here to help, right right He is no different from the others. He is here to contribute just like the rest of us So then everyone's giving him flat for that online. Do you think he should be getting heat for that? To me, it sounds fair, but I just think that quote, if he had it again and said it again, it'd probably give it a bit more context. And I think without the context, people can start pulling it apart And I think he's somebody, I've met him. I've interviewed him. the kids got a huge respect for players that have gone before him and players that he plays alongside now. there's no way I think he's sitting there trying to discredit or played down the importance of Cristiano Ronardo within his squad. Yeah. He would have grown up as as having Cristiano Cristiano Ronardo as his idol. as his icon. So. He deffinitely wasn't trying to slack Cristiano Ronalarddo. I just think people twist things massively. and what he's basically saying is that where will we equal within our squad If they're going to win And Christianoonardo will tell you this himself. I don't go into this squad thinking that I'm bigger and better than everybody else and you got to put me on the pedestal and I've got to be over here and everything's got to be different for me Criano Ronaldo heart is a team guy. Absolutely. Yeah, he wants to score all the goals that God sends. He wants to be the man that wins the game for you, etcetera Around that he's a real team guy . you're not buying it. but you're not buying it but you've not been in a chang roer with him. so you need to relax. You. You could pull the Ronaldo c of me as much as you want. But I'm just saying I'm just saying what I've seen. I hear you, right But Every about how he sets up and the way he is doesn't. doesnn't strike me as he's the most team guy player. He is about records. He is about doing it himself. I've seen many a times when he scores or someone else scores by the way, he's upset if it wasn't him, you know, like to me That's not really team friendly is it? M I've seen many players do that. just some people can hide it better than others So let's not pretend that he's the only person doing that. I was on a plane with England on the way back from a game Yeah and David Nuent nicked one of Defoe's goals that was going and he's nicked it on the line Germaine Foe wanted to kill him was almost crying on the plane because he's Why did you took my goal Like it happens. this is normal, but this is what strikers. this is how they live and breamer really. So to think that you're going to go oh I'm going to actually strike this guy down because he's like that. And you know what it is? Maybe he shouldn't show it. Maybe it is better if he contains it and put leaves that inside of himself. but I don't think Cristiano gets anywhere, guess where he is right without being the emotional kind of Um guideer who sometimes lets it out and for people to see. Do you think that Messi is less passionate. than Cristiano Ronaldo or less demanded of people or less demanded of himself than Cristiano Ronaldo Pe might go, o yeah, I think so, but only because he doesn't show it as much. He doesn't show that emotion. doesn't mean that he isn't That's my point Christianarello gets gets the heat because he's the one who shows it and is is quite like He doesn't care. He says, this is me. Everything's thatadays heart's on his sleeve What do you think? You're a bit quiet. I'm thinking R iss definitely secured part to interview with R. we're doing herear in it. Oh man, listen, but I want to move on. You were both at the Belgium versus Iran game today. Wait hold sorry, before you go on, just to go back to that point. No I've been sitting here saying louder than anybody. if I was in charge There'll be games that I wouldn't start Christiano in. I'm not sitting there saying you should start every game and play ninety minutes. No way He's forty one years old. I thought that's what you were saying No, you didnist't listen to previous podcast or, didn't you?. Selective hear again. Selective. o, cool. I want to move it back on to the Belgium versus Iran game. You guys were there celebrating without me. What was that game saying today? Two things George Wayer We saw Sir George W. A you said No. Yeah. Sir George. Yeah. he gave me his Taylor's number actually because he was looking slick. I said, whereere do you get that from So just my Nigerian tailak gone is his number b bom Growing up in that era of football Players like that meant everything We' talking about in the way. We' talking about the retro ACa Lanu bit of gold to my gosh. Do you still get Giddy feeling when you see someone like Sir George hundred percent. L, you saw when I saw him. It's pis' like. Sir George. Sir George, where? Sir George come here that night Thatusts like I don't know, there's certain guys that ev like certain feelings and memories and take you back So he's one of them like For an African gu guysy to come to Europe and win the Ballonor, like he will never be forgotten. Right man, we' got low still to comea out on this pot. We'll be back shortly after this If you've felt stuck trying to lose weight, you're not alone. Enter weight loss by Hers.

He's got a great record for Belgium What's going on? I don't think their teams as good as it was before. Don't forget other teams were playing against them before you ha't decate at alls like defending D Brona, a fit firing D Brona. Hazard mean? And then you got Lakaku, probably the third one and people is getting one more one the ones They played a many players in the backline today even kept in front of him. So he didn't have much spaces to be honest with you. everyvery pass into him had to be inch perfect. Yeah would say his touch was off as well to refer to him But he didn't look himself But Belgium didn't themselves. I mean real said it in the in the game Tross Had was probably the best player on the pitch in a Belgium shirt De Bron was like for peopleople want to talk about the way DeBron creates chances and the way Brunel Fernandez creates chances, he was a bit right. Dony DeBron, he was kind of just slinging it in without a lot of care, really Trusad was the one that looked like he was It was going to do something andntillman Tillman was fantastic. And the young one that got sent off was probably the other one that was in with a shout U and gu I even Iran defended They had a back five, which was completely shut and down. It was two or free around Lakaku at all times. That had disallowed gold as well, right? It was unreal. What a goal that was. Great work free kick Yeahah And that that was that' I mean, I don't know if that would have made the game even worse to be honest if they' have scored that because they wouldn't have even attempted to do anything. But yeah, it was It was a frustrating game to watch because it was kind of like a attack versus defense for most of them How amazing is the stadium because from Watching it from TV.ow. It looked incredible. I'm going be going to the next USA game, right I just want to know what should I be expecting? What's the atmosphere say? Expect the best stadium you've ever set foot into. It's the best in terms of getting around in there. It's the facilities, the Wi Fi evens ridiculous, Cicker in your house. is phenomenal what they've got in there. The actual the actual Wherever you sit, everything just looks like you're in four K Yeah, you said that' so every color and everything' so vivid The ambience in the stadium' is great. I love it. It's a great stadium. It's like eight levels It's mad because there was only sev was there was only seventy thousand in there. It feels so much bigger than seventy thousand I think it's because each of the levels is not quite donon't go far back because you think that old traffer and stuff it goes real far back each other tears, don't it whereereas they don't They don't really do that. but it is an unbelievable stadium You were talking earlier on about the Jeremy Ducku thing, you wanted to ask R a few questions. I don't know I can't remember exactly what you were saying. So a French journalist has absolutely stuck it on him. I think he was a French journalist anyway. I don't understand where she's coming from the ignorance of that comment. Listen, I've been in this situation where I had to make a choice. I was playing for for United I think we had a cup semif final or fine or I don't know what it come and what it was And yeah, you do like have those moments and you're fitt in your head like am I letting down my teammates, the manager, the fans, the club And I when I spoke to the manager, and any so llicenens and do what he you feels best. I can't tell you what to do. It's your family. you decide. And at the end of the day My misses called me about I think it was it was midnight or something just before midnight Um, I got in the car,rove booted it straight back up to Manchester from London I got there, I missed a birth by about twelve minutes. A killer. But the intention is what I'm talking about. how important it is to you as a person to go and be with your family, to be with the person who's having your baby, your kid's going to be born. There's so many things that can go wrong potentially as well So this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see your baby be born How are you going to be told that you shouldn't be there for your baby? and I don't know, I think it's a horrible comment especially in the circumstances that we're in where all of the new news feeds are now talking about him and putting pressure on him I hope he stays strong and does watch true to himself and goes to see his misss. You know what's crazy is our research team has just brought up her actual quote from the French presenter. she said what fo You're living out a childhood dream yet you're going to walk away from all of it to attend the birth of your child Dgusting moment. she said If you pardon the expression where that that is completely useless That bit at the end where the dady iss completely useless, I don't understand that bit, but I just feeled it like Listen, we build football up to be such an important thing and the most important thing in our lives ye. But when it comes to things like your baby being born and family and life or death, it should really put it into perspective actually. It's really good. It's a great thing. we love it. But there's more things that are more important and family is definitely one of those things. we don't know how much his wife would have wanted the support. it's ridiculous, man. She has since apologized. My one weren't quite as big. I left us hotel, traveveled back mred Berth by about twelve or thirteen minutes, drove back again and played the game. You get the rest of Yeah the other are the rest of the busirs? I've seen the rest of the busur, yeah. I was there You know what's funny? he actually missed today's game because he had a chest infection, so it wasn't of anything but he had already scheduled to miss the quarter final game or pential quarterf final game because of the birth. do you know what Don't worry about it from that performance I saw from Belgium today. You ain't going gonna be missing anything Okay, cool. So you got England playing Ghana next Black stars. You already know what that's going to be like in London Rio. It's going to be crazy. What do you want to see different from this game when it comes to England The only thing is just a quicker start If they start the game the way they started the first the second half. the last game, there willll be no problems. I think Ghana are going to be a different type of proposition to the to this England team because physically they're going to be capable And they're going to be a much more dynamic team than Croatia. Um And I think they'll ask different questions of England. but I don't see England have any problems in this game if they continue to play the way they did. And I think that are interested to see what he does with a with a forward line. Does he mix it up? Do he mix the two wingers up and start The two boys are finished, Saka and Rashard That'll be nice to see. I think just fresh legs again. I'd love to even see Cobby Manu maybe be come in there and just play some minutes and give some people some minutes, but Yeah,'mm I'm confident in this England team after what I saw in the first game Any think you would want to see more from the England Payers Th now that you're a secret fan? Mar for fun. An obvious one. I'd like to see better playing out. I'd like see him point repeatedly get over the halfway line from goal kicks more often because that was frustrating. I'd like to see a change in the back fouro, to be honest with you I'd like to see Gay brought in anyither stones or Cra alongside him. I just think that that makes the most sense. I mean I could make a case to drop every single one of the back fors, to be honest with you, they were all poor in different ways. they all made mistakes, but I don't think swapping all for of them is going to happen. So I think us bring in M g and hope that kind of sell it down a little bit and just you, give them the confidence, he obviously did not at half time. Sounds like the halftime team talk was exactly what England have needed for thirty years, tos be honest with. It's muchud because talking of f call and the halfime team talk You've seen the clips he is on people in training. He's on to people. he's in the game.'s he was ono Pickford Like he's hugely demied on these players, but I love it. I love that. He was onto our boy, Jed as well, really? Yeah just s Wake up J up, wake up. It's been five minutes already. Wake up, my boy. Oh my goodness. I have to say though, you see the analysis that you made on this show when it came to the Sener backs and playing from this side
