00:17You can reach out and touch the huge anticipation around this showdown of a semifinal.
00:25But the footballers of Germany and England have not produced the decisive outcome.
00:41Recently forced his way into the England side Southgate.
00:44He does everything right.
00:45Let's hope he can do this right as well.
01:11Germany has reached the final of a major competition for the 11th time.
01:16And Gareth Southgate has to bear the brunt of it all.
01:20The English dream is over.
01:25An extraordinary night at Wembley.
01:29A devastating night for one of the truly decent people in football.
01:34There are plenty of them.
01:36Southgate is such an outstanding young man.
01:42And in a sense that will help it for him.
02:06And tonight, England need to find their goals.
02:09Good night Trevor.
02:10Enjoy the game.
02:21This will go down as the worst result in the history of English international football.
02:27Well, that was the worst performance I've ever seen from an England team.
02:31Ever.
02:31We haven't got leaders.
02:32They don't communicate.
02:34They don't keep going on the pitch.
02:35They don't communicate off the pitch.
02:36You can't get anything out of them.
02:38That's why we're no good.
02:39We just go through them out.
02:40And at the end of the tournament will be,
02:42Oh, we're getting ready for Russia.
02:44Good luck.
02:44Pack your bags Roy Austin.
02:45We've had enough of you.
02:46We've had all the talk.
02:47We've had all the...
03:08You're bloody joking.
03:09I'm afraid not, Sam.
03:11No, Sam, I'm afraid not.
03:13You want me to voluntarily resign.
03:16And that's different from being sacked exactly.
03:19How?
03:19Help me out.
03:20It isn't.
03:22It's a somewhat less humiliating way for a man of your stature,
03:25a manager who's had a hugely positive impact on the game.
03:28Humiliating.
03:29It's you lot who'll get humiliated.
03:32I was brought into rescuers after losing to Iceland.
03:35I mean, Iceland.
03:36For years it's been get big Sam in, give Sam top job.
03:40And now this.
03:41Gone.
03:42After one game.
03:43One.
03:43What this is, is a newspaper recording you giving illegal player transfer advice
03:50while England manager, and over a pint of wine.
03:53Why is everyone going on about that?
03:55There's photos.
03:56The optics.
03:57Why a pint?
03:59This is your lot's problem.
04:01You don't realise what for.
04:02Wanting the manager.
04:04England manager.
04:05Pint of wine.
04:06This is your chance to show this lot.
04:09You'll stand by your man.
04:11Otherwise, who else are you going to get?
04:12Eh?
04:13Who'd want to take on this poison chalice?
04:24Good luck, kid.
04:36They're ready for you, Gareth.
04:41Thanks, Emily.
04:43How was your weekend?
04:47So, Gareth, good to finally meet properly.
04:50Greg Clark, new chairman.
04:53And you know my outgoing predecessor, Greg Dyke.
04:57We don't have to be called Greg to run the FA, but it helps.
05:01Just ignore me.
05:03Just a bit of continuity as we transition.
05:05It is his ship.
05:06He is the captain.
05:08It's a maiden voyage.
05:11But anyway, yeah, poor Sam.
05:14Yes, poor Sam.
05:16But we are where we are.
05:17A difficult time.
05:18Yeah, it's a fucking nightmare, eh?
05:20Not exactly how I would have...
05:22But, yes, World Cup in two years.
05:27Press foaming at the mouth.
05:29Fans on the rampage.
05:31And your work, Gareth.
05:32Managing the under-21s.
05:34So, we're looking for someone to man the fort temporarily
05:38until we find a permanent replacement for Sam.
05:40Oh, OK, right.
05:42Of which, if you...
05:44Sorry if you don't mind me saying, Greg,
05:45you will also be in the running for long-term, of course.
05:50Just to say it out loud,
05:51no caretaker manager has ever gone on
05:54to actually be the manager, have they?
05:56Well, you never know, you know.
05:57You're like, oh.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Well, I would obviously only be able to manage the team
06:07in a way I'd want to do it,
06:09even on a temporary basis,
06:11and to work on the things I think urgently need to be done.
06:15Of course.
06:16And, um, what do you think needs to be done?
06:20I think there's something really wrong here.
06:23Something has gone wrong in England,
06:26and it's more than just a series of setbacks,
06:29more than just tactics, talent, technique, I think.
06:34I think we're stuck.
06:36Doesn't it feel like we're stuck?
06:38I mean, how can we have all this history,
06:41this talent,
06:42be the home of the sport
06:44and find ourselves so lost?
06:47It might mean asking some probably uncomfortable questions
06:50about how we run
06:51and manage and play and think about
06:54and even feel about
06:55the very nature of English football itself.
07:03Oh, for fuck's sake.
07:07Look, um, Gareth,
07:09um, we get it.
07:11Um, all that stuff.
07:12Um, 30 years of hurt.
07:15Well, it is 40, isn't it?
07:17Well, 50.
07:18We get it.
07:20But right now...
07:22We're in nearest port-in-a-storm territory.
07:24You know, let's VE Day dreams of a new Jerusalem
07:27in this green and pleasant Moor Dunkirk.
07:30Get as many out as we can, sort of thing.
07:34Gareth, you're...
07:35You're smart.
07:37You don't wind anyone up the wrong way.
07:39People like you.
07:40You're calm, reliable,
07:42and we think that
07:43that is what England needs right now.
07:46A period of calm.
07:54Just to say it again,
07:57what I think it needs
07:59is change.
08:01Careful,
08:03but quite radical change.
08:06Yes, of course.
08:07No, totally.
08:08Oh, yes, but you accept.
08:13Who do you guys think
08:14the next permanent England manager
08:16should be?
08:17Now, who would you want to see
08:18take over England?
08:19I think people are just trying to reclaim
08:21how Great Britain was.
08:22We're still living in the past, man.
08:23It's 2016.
08:24But I do not think
08:25it would be right for me
08:26to try to be the captain
08:28that steers our country
08:29to its next destination.
08:31Following the referendum,
08:32we face a time
08:33of great national change.
08:35They've got to wear
08:36with not listening
08:36to the working-class people.
08:38For so long,
08:39politics has got a lot to it,
08:40football.
08:40It's always going to ignite
08:42nationalistic feelings
08:43in individuals.
08:45Listen, let's see what he can do.
08:46Is he the right man for the job
08:47and is he capable
08:48of leading a nation
08:49and a country?
08:59To prepare you
09:00in terms of parliamentary
09:01as it basically goes
09:02the royal family,
09:03then the government,
09:04then the England manager.
09:05Ready?
09:08Ready?
09:21Yeah, just really to say
09:23I realise the last week
09:25has been a very difficult one,
09:26certainly for our organisation.
09:29The reason I'm here is
09:30I always feel it's important
09:32to step forward
09:32into a leadership position
09:34when asked.
09:35Gareth, would you like
09:36the job full-time?
09:37Amy.
09:37Were you shocked
09:38by what happened to Sam?
09:40Are you shocked to be here?
09:41Well, I can't pretend that...
09:43Look, I didn't know
09:44that when I turned up
09:45to work on a normal
09:46Tuesday morning,
09:47this would be my life
09:48Tuesday afternoon,
09:49but in football,
09:49things change quickly,
09:50you get used to that
09:51and rise to the challenge.
09:53Why do you think
09:54the FA made you caretaker?
09:55Are you shocked
09:56by the situation
09:57surrounding Sam?
09:57Done.
09:59Gareth,
10:00your only previous
10:01significant experience
10:02as a manager
10:02was with Middlesbrough,
10:04who were relegated.
10:05Simple question, really.
10:07Do you think you're up to this?
10:09Feels like what England need
10:10right now is a proven winner
10:11and your own history
10:13with England
10:13is defined
10:14by a particular...
10:16How big a moment
10:17is this being impersonal?
10:19The England job
10:19has previously been
10:20spoken about.
10:26Yes, I believe
10:27I'm up to this.
10:41Oh, hello.
10:42Sorry to keep you on.
10:44I'm Gareth,
10:45and I'm not the person
10:46you expected to see here,
10:47but here we are, so...
10:49All right, boss.
10:50Pleasure to, et cetera.
10:51Mike Webster, performance coach.
10:53I was brought in under Sam
10:54as a potential number two,
10:55but...
10:56Hi, Mike.
10:57This is my number two.
10:59That's Steve.
11:01Steve Olin?
11:01Yeah, of course.
11:02Your reputation and so on.
11:04Yeah, how are you doing, Mike?
11:05This is Phil, physio Phil.
11:07Hello.
11:07All right.
11:08Hi.
11:08Good.
11:09How was the firing squad?
11:10Hmm?
11:11Press conference.
11:12Fine.
11:13They come with an idea of you,
11:15you know,
11:15and they try to make
11:16that image stick.
11:17Sure, yeah.
11:18Is he tough enough?
11:19Is he too nice,
11:20that bollocks?
11:21Exactly, yeah.
11:22That bollocks, yeah.
11:25I bought some muffins for everyone.
11:27Well, that's very sweet,
11:28you Gareth.
11:29Do you know what?
11:29Actually, not for me.
11:30I need to set an example
11:32to the...
11:32Oh.
11:34Is that an almond croissant,
11:35though?
11:36Oh, shit.
11:37I'll tell you what,
11:38I'll just...
11:38I'll tear off a little...
11:40Actually, fuck it.
11:41I've touched it now.
11:41No, I might as well
11:42have the whole thing.
11:44So, to set out
11:46my main goal, then,
11:49well, it's to get people
11:50smiling again.
11:52To get...
11:53Sorry, boss.
11:54To get people happy.
11:57Oh.
11:58Oh, right.
11:59Look, we've had what many thought
12:01was a golden generation
12:02of players.
12:02Gerard, Lampard, Rooney,
12:04and at the same time
12:04we've had a series
12:05of our worst results
12:06almost ever.
12:07How can that be?
12:12It's okay to speak freely.
12:15Honestly, you're free
12:16to say anything.
12:24Okay, look,
12:25I'll speak freely.
12:27It's the players.
12:29I'm sorry,
12:29a lot of them,
12:30they're arrogant.
12:32You know,
12:32they just don't care.
12:34It's not like it was
12:34in your day, Gareth.
12:35This lot,
12:36they're a bunch
12:37of millionaires
12:37you get pampered
12:38and spoiled.
12:39They just don't feel
12:40it in their guts anymore.
12:41You know,
12:41that pride
12:43that men used to feel
12:44playing for their country.
12:45A lack of...
12:46Let's be honest, mate.
12:48They need a firm hand.
12:50A fucking good talking to.
12:51I'm just saying.
12:54Okay.
12:57All of you.
12:59The clock's ticking.
13:01Qualifies and all that.
13:02Assume you're sticking
13:03with the squads.
13:04The same players.
13:20All right.
13:21All right, Wayne?
13:22Are you all right, Gareth?
13:24Ah.
13:25Ah, shit, sorry.
13:26I suppose it's boss now,
13:27isn't it?
13:27Aye.
13:29Nah, we don't need
13:30to do all that.
13:34Well, anyway,
13:35you know,
13:36congrats.
13:38I can't believe it's getting
13:39to the point
13:40where the managers
13:41are young enough
13:42or I'm fucking old enough
13:44to play with them.
13:45It's, um,
13:46that's mad.
13:46It is getting
13:48to that point, Wayne.
13:51I do think
13:52this is
13:54sort of like
13:55a moment
13:56for forking a road,
13:58if you know what I mean,
13:59for the side.
14:02Where if we're going
14:03to
14:05properly
14:06try something new,
14:08reset,
14:09then...
14:09not a gate.
14:10I look at you.
14:12Giving out orders.
14:15I'm sorry.
14:1753 goals
14:18for England, Wayne.
14:20The most ever.
14:22An E-player.
14:24No silverware
14:25to show for a die, eh?
14:31All right.
14:37Wayne?
14:39What?
14:41What's...
14:41What's going wrong?
14:43What are we getting
14:43to have wrong?
14:44Look, I...
14:45Garrett,
14:45I'll be honest with you,
14:46you know,
14:47the lads,
14:48they don't want to play anymore.
14:50Like, no one here
14:50will tell you that,
14:51but I will.
14:51Don't want to play?
14:52For England.
14:54Right?
14:54It's changed.
14:56Like, your club,
14:57you make a mistake
14:57and it's shit, yeah?
14:58But, you know,
15:00you're back again
15:00the next week.
15:02Right?
15:02But England,
15:04and these moments
15:05that you know about,
15:07right?
15:08It's too much.
15:10For what?
15:11Like, a few weeks ago,
15:13I came off the pitch
15:14to them booze
15:15and no-one
15:17said anything to me.
15:18I went back
15:19to my hotel room
15:20alone
15:20and I just decided,
15:22fuck it.
15:23Went on a bender
15:24for two days straight
15:25until I couldn't feel
15:26or think anything.
15:28You know,
15:28and I'm...
15:29I'm not proud of that,
15:31but it is what it is.
15:33I've never met anyone
15:34who can change that, mate.
15:37Like, so you can make
15:38a back four into a tree
15:39or you can have to
15:40keep red
15:41instead of fucking white,
15:42but, you know,
15:43like, some questions
15:44are just too big
15:45or frightening enough
15:46to ask, Garrett.
15:47So good luck.
15:53When was the last time
15:54you were scared?
15:56The last time
15:57you were overwhelmed
15:58with waves of worry
16:00and anxiety?
16:03Don't get me wrong,
16:04some fear is necessary.
16:05It helps protect us
16:06when we're at real risk
16:07from harm.
16:09But fear can also force us
16:11to make poor decisions
16:13in the moment.
16:14If those decisions
16:15come from a place
16:16of panic
16:17or terror,
16:19for me,
16:20the real tragedy
16:21of being afraid
16:22isn't what it does to us.
16:26It's what it takes.
16:28It robs us of joy.
16:31And that job
16:32we didn't apply for.
16:34Never telling that person
16:35how we feel.
16:36I mean,
16:37in your workplaces
16:38without knowing it,
16:39you might have
16:41assembled whole structures
16:43around avoiding
16:44tough choices
16:45because of fear.
16:47As leaders, then,
16:50how do you cultivate
16:51an environment
16:52where you empower
16:53your team
16:54to make impactful
16:56decisions
16:56in the moment?
17:03Dr. Pepper Grange?
17:05Oh,
17:06Gareth Southgate.
17:07I hope this doesn't feel
17:08like an ambush
17:08or have the tackle
17:09from behind.
17:11I know we've been
17:12calling,
17:12trying to...
17:13I'm just a fan
17:13of your work.
17:14I now feel really bad
17:16declining your interview.
17:17It's just...
17:18I don't think
17:19it's for me.
17:21I get that.
17:22I do.
17:22There's a lot about football
17:23I don't like
17:24or agree with people.
17:25And I know
17:26it hasn't always been
17:27as open to mental health,
17:28you know,
17:28or psychologists.
17:29I was a
17:30performing psychologist.
17:32Now I'm more
17:32of a culture coach
17:33looking at the whole
17:34culture of a place.
17:36Okay,
17:36well,
17:37well,
17:37that's exactly
17:37what I'm...
17:39You see,
17:40I've been put in a car
17:40already going
17:41100 miles an hour
17:42whose entire engine
17:43I want to change
17:44but I'm already
17:45driving it
17:45so I need change makers
17:46from the outside
17:48and, well...
17:51Okay,
17:51what is it
17:52you're actually
17:52asking for?
17:53Brass tacks?
17:55I just,
17:56well,
17:57I'd settle right now
17:57for the team
17:58feeling better.
17:59They're not in a good way
18:00with the pressures
18:01and the expectation
18:02on our lads.
18:04It's everything
18:05I know you know about.
18:07And everything
18:07you know about,
18:08right?
18:09What you went through
18:10all those years ago.
18:12I'm sorry,
18:13that must have been hard.
18:17Honestly,
18:17thanks,
18:18but I'm okay.
18:20I am Pippa.
18:21I, I, I actually am.
18:24And I know
18:24by saying I, I, I
18:25three times
18:26makes it sound
18:27like I'm not,
18:28but...
18:31I know with help
18:32I can help prevent
18:33any of those
18:33young lads
18:34going through that.
18:36Hmm.
18:39Is that a good
18:39hmm?
18:41Or...
18:42England, you say?
18:44Yeah.
18:46Come help
18:46fix England with me.
18:52So does Southgate
18:53have the players
18:54available to reach
18:55the final stages
18:55of major tournaments?
18:57The job at the moment
18:57is a thankless task.
18:59Don't feel that we've got
19:00the players to compete
19:01at the top level
19:02of international football.
19:03Oh my God.
19:05I can't believe it.
19:07Seriously.
19:08Are you,
19:10you're here for me?
19:11We are, Harry, yeah?
19:13You're arrogant now,
19:14Aunty Gareth.
19:15I am.
19:16Oh, I'm Sheffield.
19:18No, it's just, uh,
19:19what, an hour down the A1?
19:20I'd avoid the A1
19:21if I were you, boss.
19:22Better to go the A61
19:23down Shadwell,
19:23change on the A61 20
19:25and circle back on the M1.
19:26Straight Adunction 34.
19:27Oh, okay, yeah.
19:31So?
19:33England?
19:35Really?
19:36Yes, Harry.
19:37Really?
19:38It's all about the players.
19:40Have we got the players?
19:41I'm not sure
19:41we've got the players.
19:43That's the problem.
19:44I don't think it's the managers.
19:45I think it's the players.
19:48Trust me.
19:49Let's give it another go.
19:51Make the right decisions
19:52for the right reasons.
19:53I think he will be successful.
19:57You know, it's tough
19:58because everyone expects
19:59in this country
20:01even to be up there
20:02challenging the top teams
20:04in the world.
20:06But realistically,
20:07we don't really have
20:08the depth of squad
20:09of players at our disposal
20:11for us to be able to do that.
20:13So it's a tough,
20:15anxious job, I think,
20:16to be down.
20:16I hope he does well.
20:48Okay. Morning, team. Morning. Have a seat. Sit down. Welcome to St George's. Some of you for the first time.
20:57Now, I know you know who most of us are, but if I could just...
21:03Hey, sorry. Hi, hello. It took me ages to sort my...
21:09This is Dr Pippa Grange, our new head of people.
21:12What, she's head of all the people?
21:15She's a psychologist, Ellie. We're going to be working on your mental resilience, as well as our performance and other
21:22things.
21:22Now, one of the things I wanted to talk about is stories.
21:28Stories.
21:29Yeah, you know, once upon a time.
21:32Yeah, sort of. Myths, legends, folklores. These can be a source of pride.
21:36But sometimes, some of them can wear you down.
21:43Imprison a place or the people in it. And for some reason, that does something to us. So, let me
21:52tell you something.
21:52Yeah. We are probably not going to win the World Cup.
22:00That's good. Very funny.
22:02No, what I mean is, I mean, we could. You never know. But we really probably are not going to
22:08win this World Cup.
22:11The fuck is our list, man?
22:13Yeah. And the good news is, no one else expects us to either. And why should they?
22:19Why do we believe England can and should win every time?
22:26And what evidence? The tournament after 1966, we came 8th.
22:31Then in 1974, we didn't even qualify.
22:351978, we didn't qualify.
22:38Then we came 6th, then 8th, then 4th, 9th, 6th, 7th, 13th.
22:45And, most recently, 26th.
22:51But, in the press, in here, every time, we'd better come first, this is our time, don't cock it up,
23:01and it paralyses us.
23:04It stops you expressing yourself.
23:11Do you know what makes up a story?
23:15A three-act structure.
23:18Beginning, middle, and end.
23:22And, do you know what I think our problem has been?
23:25New lot turn up, a new team, and everybody expects us to be instantly here,
23:31always on the cusp of victory, without properly building from the ground up.
23:35So, what if we relieved ourselves of that pressure?
23:43What if we planned for a longer journey?
23:51So, what's happening in 2,251 days?
23:56That is the World Cup final in Qatar, three tournaments away.
24:03Beginning, middle, end.
24:05What if that's what we aim to win?
24:08A long-term plan.
24:10So, now, you can just breathe.
24:15Create your story.
24:17Your history.
24:18Now, we don't have to come up with all the answers right now, but I would like to go on
24:21a quest with you over time to discover that.
24:25Yeah, and, um, speaking of, you've all heard of King Arthur and his knights at the round table, their great
24:32quest to bring home the holy grail.
24:35And these knights were defined by their bravery, yeah, to pull the sword from the stone, if chosen.
24:44But also, by their honour, decency.
24:52And when I see a lot of that in you guys, I do, so maybe that's, uh, something we can
24:57think about.
24:59Pippa, a few words.
25:01Yeah.
25:02I mean, only to say, I'm available, one-to-one, of course, any time you want to chat.
25:09But Gareth would also like to protect some time when you're all together, like this, to share things as a
25:16team.
25:17Some of the doubts, worries, anxieties you're all feeling.
25:26Awkward silence.
25:27Oi, don't be rude, man, come on.
25:29Oh, cough, Endor, you weren't saying anything either.
25:30You've been rude, man, being fucking rude.
25:32It's okay, it's just something to try, yeah, to dip your toe into.
25:38Deli.
25:39Me?
25:42Uh, nah, I don't do doubts or whatever.
25:46You know, it's about being positive, innit?
25:49You know, no offence, but I don't think I really want some of the lads in here getting inside my
25:54head, you know?
25:55Bro, I don't think anyone wants to be inside your head.
25:58Say it again?
26:00Oh, relax, I'm joking.
26:02You're starting with me.
26:03Oi, oi, lads, come on.
26:04No, say it again.
26:04All right, sit down, lads.
26:05Get a big man now.
26:06Calm this, Mike.
26:07Like, why are you so sensitive?
26:08Oh, fuck off.
26:09Wait.
26:09What, when you crowned, we've got red cards.
26:11No!
26:12Hey, hey, hey, hey!
26:14Hey, hey, hey!
26:18Absolutely not.
26:19Embarrassing, man.
26:20Not that.
26:21Not here.
26:22Oi, stop getting wound up, darling.
26:24Sit down.
26:24It's okay.
26:25That's enough.
26:25It's okay.
26:26We're all just trying to find our feet with this.
26:30It's okay.
26:309 goals all season.
26:32Mike, Steve.
26:33Delhi, Raheem, Eric, take ten.
26:37Everyone else outside.
26:38All right.
26:39Tick-tock, tick-tock.
26:40Let's play some football.
26:41Let's go.
26:42You roll pops.
26:47So, that went well.
26:49Yeah.
26:50Things aren't waters they've waded into before.
26:55Facing their fears.
27:01Oh, Penoeys.
27:02Jesus, really?
27:04Yeah, Gareth.
27:05There's asked us to look at them.
27:06I can't even watch them.
27:07I'd say my back look away to torture.
27:10And yet, most managers in the past haven't talked about them.
27:13Practiced even.
27:14And yet, it's increasingly the way we exit tournaments.
27:19So, Steve.
27:20England have never, ever won a penalty shootout in a World Cup.
27:24We lost on penalties in 1990 against Germany.
27:3198 against Argentina.
27:36Against Portugal in 2004.
27:39Against Portugal again, fucking hell, in 2006.
27:44We lost against Italy in 2012.
27:49And not forgetting 1996.
27:53Cara.
27:54Yeah.
27:58Now, look.
28:00England take their penalties the quickest in the world.
28:06An average of 2.8 seconds between the whistle and the kick.
28:10And the Germans, the best in the world, take three times that.
28:14Three times as long before they shoot.
28:18Englishmen go so fast, we're basically the premature ejaculators of penalties.
28:23But why?
28:25Sorry.
28:27Why do they take them so fast?
28:29Why the rush?
28:30It's not possible to measure why.
28:32It just is the case.
28:34Forgive me, Pippa, but how's your penalty taken, by the way, can I ask?
28:38Me?
28:39I don't think I could take one to save my life.
28:41Mike, Pippa knows coaching is your guy's department, but when it comes to psychology...
28:45I'm just joking.
29:01I'm just joking.
29:12Good question.
29:13Everyone wants to know always about who would have taken them, who didn't want to take them.
29:17I will take that to the grave with him, because we were collective responsibility right a ways through.
29:23Southgate actually looked as if he was looking at me, where one or two maybe wasn't.
29:28And I think it's a matter of the pressure he's on.
29:34And he missed the penalty.
29:38And that was it.
29:39And I could only feel for Southgate, because I was a penalty taker.
29:43And just in a league match, if I missed a penalty, I missed, I think, two penalties.
29:49And you just feel like you let everyone down.
29:51You don't even think about yourself.
29:53You just think, oh, everything's resting.
29:55But here is the pressure.
29:57The odds.
30:03I've got to play back.
30:20Calm down, lads.
30:21Calm down, yeah?
30:22This is my instructor, all right?
30:23Once again, when I blow the whistle, every man submerges themselves.
30:27When I blow it for a second time, you come back up.
30:30If anyone breaks the surface before my whistle, back you go.
30:35Got it?
30:36Yes, sir!
30:55Oh, my God, what are we doing?
30:58This is bullshit.
31:00It's team building.
31:02We're a team.
31:04I don't know, man.
31:06I think I look pretty, like, fucking dashing.
31:10You know, I've got my Call of Duty Black Ops shit going on.
31:15Oi, lads.
31:16Think it's this way?
31:18Are you sure?
31:20Thanks, pal.
31:21You all right, pickers?
31:22You out of breath with your little legs?
31:24Kiss off, Dali.
31:25Oi, oi, come on, let's get it done.
31:27Concentrate.
31:28Uncle goes over here.
31:29You out for the season?
31:30Yeah, for the season.
31:31Wow.
31:31Amazing.
31:32Amazing impression.
31:33Two Jordies, both for Jordan.
31:35What's that about, then?
31:36Oi, who's he calling me, Jordy?
31:37Mack them's your dick.
31:39Mackies?
31:39Spark you, I've done it, I swear.
31:40You know what?
31:41I came to play football.
31:43Now, what's this marine stuff?
31:45Seriously, waste of time.
31:47Need a shit.
31:48Fucking joke.
31:49How short is your short?
31:50Well, they're talking.
31:52Taking the piss, yeah, which is a start, I suppose.
31:55You don't think this is a good idea?
31:56I used to love the scouts.
31:58Working together, bonding.
31:59Oh, no, I'm a bit fan of bonding.
32:02I'm not sure lack of grit is the problem.
32:04It might be the problem.
32:05Can I ask you a question?
32:07Of course.
32:08When we were back at St George's, go on through, fellas, we'll catch you up.
32:11When we were talking about penalties, you asked why.
32:17Why is England who struggle the most?
32:21Do you have any idea on why us?
32:25Really want to know?
32:28Yeah, yeah, I do.
32:29All our players react the same way.
32:31When they miss, they literally curl up into a ball.
32:35Like a fetus.
32:36They make themselves small.
32:39Like, Aaron, everyone thinks that footballers are overconfident, arrogant.
32:44It's not that they don't care.
32:46They're afraid.
32:47They do feel completely alone when they're standing on that spot.
32:52They don't know how to ask for help, and we don't know how to give it.
32:56I think I know where you're going with this.
33:02Do you ever wonder if there are sort of alternative universes out there?
33:07That one where I picked a different spot.
33:11Yeah.
33:12And where that England is a happier, more confident place as a result.
33:16I don't know, maybe.
33:19We don't live in that England, do we?
33:20No.
33:21We live in this one.
33:23The one where you fucking missed.
33:28All I'm saying is, if you don't go there, Gareth, they never will.
33:42Well, that's right.
33:44I don't know.
33:46I don't know.
33:49I don't know.
33:50I don't know.
34:11all right all right fellas uh settle down a second please thank you um pippa spoke back at
34:17st george's about sharing the the doubts and fears that we all have and i feel that should include
34:25me as well as you because well i have everything on the line here too right so um so my
34:34thing that
34:34i'd like to share comes from what happened when i played for england in 96 and everybody in the
34:42country was so happy there were parties people were smiling then came the semi-final we were against
34:50germany of course we scored first early shearer one nil but then kunst equalized for germany making
34:58it one one staying that way till extra time which then meant penalties all the other players before
35:07me they all scored theirs the first five and germany scored theirs so it was sudden death
35:16first player to miss their team was out
35:26and there was a silence in our huddle
35:33who's going to go first
35:37so i put my hand up
35:41and so i began that walk yeah that long walk to the spot
35:53my legs were so weak
35:57the whistle went i ran up
36:03kicked the ball
36:04kicked the ball softly like so so soft and the keeper rolled gently towards it and
36:12that was it
36:15and i i just
36:17wanted to disappear i can't tell you i i knew i was responsible for ending
36:24millions of people's dream
36:30no one knew what to say to me after i didn't want them to say anything anyway i couldn't bear
36:33it
36:35it was uh really just a very bad time just was
36:44nearly stopped me from saying yes to this job is the truth because um

39:02WHISTLE BLOWS
39:18They all seem a bit more, you know,
39:20Yeah, yeah, they do.
39:23So, any thoughts on our potential captain?
39:37Three, two, one...
39:40One, three, go, go, go!
39:50Two, two, three, go!
39:56There, holding.
39:57Right together!
39:59So, it's journal day.
40:01Handing them out, you're getting them.
40:02They're gonna be your best friend.
40:04Don't be scared of them.
40:06Guys, use these to share your thoughts, your fears, your doubts.
40:10You never have to talk about what's in there.
40:16Yes!
40:19What is that?
40:23Come on!
40:25I want you bunch of bastards, I'll have every fucking one of you, come on!
40:30New idea, Jordan.
40:32Rather than the taker having to fetch the ball himself,
40:35you're going to hand it to him.
40:41I'm not fetched, but I quite like presents.
40:43Don't want to die, but I quite like heaven.
40:45Want a good place, but I don't like waiting.
40:47Want to go crazy, but I'm not patient.
40:49Want to be fit, but I don't like running.
40:51And I see you and I'm with you.
40:54Unlike 96 and the frightened lad who stuck his hand in the air,
40:57we will know in advance who is taking the pen and in what order.
41:04So those players, every one of them,
41:09will be completely ready.
41:11Starblade.
41:13Go.
41:13Go.
41:15Go.
41:16Go.
41:16Now the wizard has...
41:18Stand up there for the new values of our new team,
41:22our New England captain, Harry Kane.
41:24We're here tonight, and England are set for Russia.
41:29We've got a real vibe.
41:30We don't know what we're doing when that feels right.
41:32It's Kyle Walker's class.
41:34It's terrific.
41:35It's Harry Kane.
41:37Captain Kane in stoppage time.
41:40And England are Russia bound.
41:42Now, let's get to the cupbear.
41:44Hooray!
41:45Congratulations, Harry.
41:49Here, let's have a toast, everyone.
41:53To the new permanent England manager.
41:57To Russia with love.
41:59Brought in back.
42:03Oh, allowish.
42:07Oh, fangh!
42:10Shaun aOW!
42:17Yeah!
42:18Writing big thoughts, are we?
42:21Nah.
42:21Just drawing.
42:24This year.
42:33I had a little go, for years and shit, me dad had cancer in his throat, like, I'm sorry,
42:48that's fine. Yeah, in terms of like, that was one for me, you know, he never even let
43:01us see him, like, and he was for years, wanted to be with it all by himself, just pride in
43:09it, deal with things alone, suffering silence, all of that.
43:18My folks, I'm dead lucky, like, they worked for UEFA, so, I don't know, you feel like
43:34you have to earn that bit, you know, that opportunity, yeah, that's, that's probably
43:41one of my biggest, not fears, but, not being useful. Yeah, I'd, um, yeah, I'd hate that.
44:00When we say, you're part of a team, we don't just mean the lads you see around you now,
44:07but part of a continuum that goes back and back. Harry Kane, did you know, for example,
44:13we've established that your England legacy number is 1,207. That's your place. You are
44:22the 1,207th player to ever put on this show. Raheem, number 1,190. Beckham, Shearer, Bruni,
44:37even I have one, a legacy number. Gareth Southgate, 1,071, going all the way back to number
44:46one, because Robert Barker. Nah, you weren't the keeper. First ever, for England's first
44:53international against Scotland in 1872. And I want you to think about that before we depart
45:04to Russia, the team that you are in, this team, and the one stretching back and back over 150
45:20years, guys, of stories. Beckham has scored for England. He's done it again.
45:29Brought by Michael Owen. It's a wonderful goal.
45:32Brought in one goal by Denny, finish from Courtney Baird.
45:36And up to Negaard.
45:39England are the world champions. I can't believe it.
45:49We had a team that was out of love. Didn't really seem to enjoy putting an England shirt on.
45:55He's actually just changed the whole culture.
45:57I think it's a good choice. He fits the bill. He's been there. Whether it's the one to go into
46:03the finals, that remains to be seen.
46:05Can we go there and get through the group stages and eat into the competition lasting steam, quarter-final, and
46:11these players that we see week in, week out, can they produce their best moments on the biggest stage?
46:15Yeah.
46:16Yeah? Why are you looking so surprised, though?
46:18Wow, Colt. Look at his friends.
46:20Yeah?
46:20Enough of that.
46:21An English gentleman?
46:22I know. An English gentleman.
46:24That's a good one.
46:24Okay. Jack, if you...
46:26Right.
46:27Come on, everyone. Let's go, let's go. We're running late.
46:29Let's go, let's go, let's go.
46:32Dare to dream.
46:33England are ready for their opening game of the 2018 World Cup.
46:43Can our Southgate's team kick off against Tunisia in the city of Volgograd?
46:49It's the youngest England squad since the 1962 World Cup, and they arrived in Russia unbeaten in over a year.
47:11Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Volgograd.
47:17It is a place rich with history.
47:20It has a very different feel to the relative Western familiarity of the capital Moscow.
47:26This is real Russia.
47:35And Tunisia had bodies around it.
47:38Still, Mingo got a shot away.
47:42Floated in by Young.
47:43Hasen got a cross.
47:45Oh, he came.
47:47Captain's got all three guns.
47:49The three Lions have flown out of the traps.
47:53Penalty.
47:54Fouled by Walker on Fakreddin Penusef.
47:58And he scores.
48:00And he gives thanks.
48:02And Tunisia are leveled.
48:04The first African goal of World Cup 2018.
48:15And his ankle tacks.
48:18He's going to have a free kick, and he's going to make a change.
48:21And here, in place of Raheem Sterling,
48:25is Manchester United's live-wire Marcus Rashford.
48:29He's had to surrender a corner
48:31as we head into four minutes of stoppage time.
48:35She appears out, swinger.
49:00This England team have excited a nation.
49:04England's six and all.
49:06England's biggest win in major tournament football season go through.

49:14Hands above their heads.
49:15Now you know how it feels to win.
49:17England through to the knockout stages.
49:19It's sudden death from here to the final.
49:22It is hard not to dream for those who remain very hard
49:26that every passing day, with every falling giant,
49:29the possibilities appear to blossom.
49:35The referee see the caution down.
49:37A penalty.
49:39Kane is having to demonstrate the nerve of a warrior.
49:45Harry Kane is England's priceless gem.
49:51Colombian pain.
49:53Perhaps English progress.
49:56See down beneath me that England are preparing their first change.
50:00Eric Dyer has appeared in the company of Steve Holland.
50:05And as he goes off, Dele Alli can only implore his teammates to see the job through.
50:12Embraced by a manager who has a lot of belief in him.
50:16Contrado takes!
50:18And he scores!
50:20Colombia save themselves at the last!
50:23We're now in the 119th minute.
50:26Penalties approaching.

50:29Trippier into the box.
50:30Tricked off by Maguire.
50:32Whacked away to Colombia.
50:35By Mina.
50:38That's how this is.
50:39It's going to take the time.
50:40I think they've accepted Colombia.
50:42It's going to go to a shootout.
50:48One minute of added time.
50:50We have 60 seconds.
50:51Ladies and gentlemen.
50:52Boys and girls.
50:54Late in the evening in Moscow.
50:55We are one minute away from a penalty shootout.
51:00Between England and Colombia.

51:08Insane, those worlds.
51:14That's it.
51:16Colombia won.
51:17England won.
51:18After extra time.
