England's New Identity

from The England Pod Hosted by The England Pod

Ali, George and Dave reconvene for a calmer, deeper look at England's 4-2 win against Croatia in the World Cup opener. They discuss Thomas Tuchel's influence on and off the pitch, the second-half transformation, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's leadership, the impact of Elliott Anderson, and why England's attacking structure looks very different to recent tournament teams. Plus: Post Match Speakpipes, Wonderwall, rooftop celebrations, the defensive concerns that still need addressing, and whether England may have discovered a new tournament identity. -- Send the pod a voicenote to help us with the more sober debrief tomorrow: https://www.speakpipe.com/TheEnglandPod -- Sign up to SBK here to get £50 in Free Bets when you sign up and place your first bet of £20: https://bit.ly/TheEnglandPodxSBK T&Cs apply. 18+.
