00:01You can reach out and touch the huge anticipation around this showdown of a semi-final.
00:09The footballers of Germany and England have not produced a decisive outcome.
00:23He recently forced his way into the England side Southgate.
00:26He does everything right. Let's hope he can do this right as well.
00:41And Cook is fighting. England go out.
00:52Germany breached the final of a major competition for the 11th time that Gareth Southgate has to bear the brunt
01:00of it all.
01:01The English dream is over.
01:06An extraordinary night at Wembley.
01:09A devastating night.
01:11For one of the truly decent people in football that are plenty of them.
01:16Southgate is such an outstanding young man.
01:22And in the third step was hurt, I'm sorry.
01:45And tonight, England need to find their goal scorer and touch here on the Riviera, against
01:51the underdogs, Iceland, England can't beat Iceland, there's something wrong.
02:00This will look down as the worst result in the history of English international football.
02:05Well that was the worst performance I've ever seen from an England team, ever.
02:09We haven't got leaders, they don't communicate, they don't communicate on the pitch, they don't
02:12communicate off the pitch, you can't get anything out of them, that's why we're no good.
02:16We just go through them out and at the end of the tournament will be, oh we're getting
02:19ready for Russia.
02:20Good luck.
02:21Pack your bags Roy Archer, we've had enough of you.
02:23We've had all the talk, we've had all the...
02:44You bloody joking?
02:45I'm afraid not Sam.
02:46No Sam, I'm afraid not.
02:47You want me to voluntarily resign?
02:51And that's different from being sacked exactly?
02:54How?
02:54Help me out.
02:55It isn't.
02:57It's a somewhat less humiliating way for a man of your stature, a manager who's had a hugely
03:01positive impact on the game.
03:03Humiliating?
03:04It's you lot who get humiliated.
03:06I was brought into rescuers after losing to Iceland.
03:09I mean Iceland.
03:10For years it's been, get big Sam in, give Sam top job.
03:14And now this.
03:15Gone.
03:16After one game.
03:17One.
03:17What this is, is a newspaper recording you giving illegal player transfer advice while
03:24England manager and over a pint of wine.
03:27Why is everyone going on about that?
03:29There's photos.
03:29The optics.
03:31Why a pint?
03:32This is your lot's problem.
03:34You don't realise what folk want in the manager.
03:37England manager.
03:38Pints of wine.
03:39This is your chance to show this lot.
03:42You'll stand by your man.
03:43Otherwise who else you gonna get?
03:45Eh?
03:46Who'd want to take on this poison chalice?
03:56Good luck kid.
04:07They're ready for you Gareth.
04:12Thanks Emily.
04:14How was your weekend?
04:18So Gareth, good to finally meet properly.
04:21Greg Clark, new chairman.
04:23And you know my outgoing predecessor Greg Dyke.
04:27You don't have to be called Greg to run the FA but it helps.
04:31Just ignore me.
04:33Just a bit of continuity as we transition.
04:35It is his ship.
04:36He is the captain.
04:37It's a maiden voyage.
04:41Anyway, yeah.
04:43Poor Sam.
04:44Yes, poor Sam.
04:45But we are where we are.
04:46A difficult time.
04:47Yeah, it's a fucking nightmare, eh?
04:49Not exactly how I would have.
04:51But, yes.
04:53World Cup in two years.
04:56Press foaming at the mouth.
04:58Press foaming at the mouth.
04:58Fans on the rampage.
04:59And your work, Gareth, managing the under-21s.
05:03So, we're looking for someone to man the fort temporarily until we find a permanent replacement for Sam.
05:09Oh, okay.
05:10Right.
05:11Of which, sorry if you don't mind me saying Greg, you will also be in the running for long term,
05:17of course.
05:17But, just to say it out loud, no caretaker manager has ever gone on to actually be the manager, have
05:23they?
05:23Well, you never know, you know, you're like, oh.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Well, I would obviously only be able to manage the team in a way I'd want to do it, even
05:36on a temporary basis.
05:38And to work on the things I think urgently need to be done.
05:41Of course.
05:42And what do you think needs to be done?
05:46I think there's something really wrong here.
05:49Something has gone wrong in England.
05:52And it's more than just a series of setbacks, more than just tactics, talent, technique, I think.
05:59I think we're stuck.
06:02Doesn't it feel like we're stuck?
06:04I mean, how can we have all this history, this talent, be the home of the sport and find ourselves
06:10so lost?
06:12It might mean asking some probably uncomfortable questions about how we run.
06:17And manage and play and think about and even feel about the very nature of English football itself.
06:27Oh, for fuck's sake.
06:32Look, Gareth, we get it.
06:35All that stuff.
06:3630 years of hurt.
06:38Well, it's 40, isn't it?
06:4150.
06:42We get it.
06:44But right now...
06:45We're in nearest port in a storm territory.
06:48You know, there's VE Day dreams of a new Jerusalem in this green and pleasant Moor Dunkirk.
06:53Get as many out as we can, sort of thing.
06:57Gareth, you're smart.
06:59You don't wind anyone up the wrong way.
07:02People like you.
07:03You're calm.
07:04You're reliable.
07:05And we think that that is what England needs right now.
07:08A period of calm.
07:16Just to say it again, what I think it needs is change.
07:24Careful, but quite radical change.
07:27Yes, of course.
07:28No, totally.
07:29Oh, yes, but you accept.
07:34Who do you guys think the next permanent England manager should be?
07:38Who would you want to see take over England?
07:40I think people are just trying to reclaim how Great Britain was.
07:42We're still living in the past, man.
07:44It's 2016.
07:45But I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our
07:49country
07:49to its next destination.
07:51Following the referendum, we face a time of great national change.
07:55They've got a way with not listening to the working class people for so long.
07:59The politics has got a lot to do football.
08:00It's always going to ignite nationalistic feelings in individuals.
08:04Listen, let's see what he can do.
08:06Is he the right man for the job?
08:07And is he capable of leading a nation and a country?
08:18To prepare you, in terms of parliamentary, as it basically goes, the royal family, then
08:22the government, then the England manager.
08:24Ready?
08:34Good morning.
08:35Good morning.
08:36Good morning.
08:40Yeah, just really to say, I've realized the last week has been a very difficult one.
08:44Certainly for our organisation the reason I'm here is I always feel it's important to step forward into a leadership
08:50position when asked.
08:52Gareth, would you like the job full-time?
08:54Amy.
08:54Were you shocked by what happened to Sam?
08:57Are you shocked to be here?
08:58I can't pretend that...
09:00Look, I didn't know that when I turned up to work on a normal Tuesday morning,
09:03this would be my life Tuesday afternoon.
09:05But in football, things change quickly.
09:07You get used to that and rise to the challenge.
09:09Why do you think the FA made you caretaker?
09:11Were you shocked by the situation surrounding Sam?
09:13Dan.
09:15Gareth, your only previous significant experience as a manager
09:18was with Middlesbrough, who were relegated.
09:21Simple question, really.
09:22Do you think you're up to this?
09:24It feels like what England need right now is a proven winner,
09:27and your own history with England is defined by a particular...
09:32How, for the moment, is this woman impersonally...
09:41Yes, I believe I'm up to this.
09:55Oh, hello. Sorry to keep you on. I'm Gareth, and I'm not the person you expected to see here,
10:01but here we are, so...
10:03All right, boss. Pleasure to, etc.
10:05Mark Webster, performance coach. I was brought in under Sam as a potential number two, but...
10:09Of course. Hi, Mike. This is my number two. That's Steve.
10:14Steve Olin.
10:14Yeah, of course. Your reputation is someone.
10:16Yeah, how are you doing, Mike?
10:18This is Phil, Physiophil.
10:19Hello.
10:20All right.
10:20Hi.
10:21How was the firing squad?
10:23Hmm?
10:24Press conference.
10:24Fine. They come with an idea of you, you know, and they try to make that image stick.
10:29Sure, yeah. Is he tough enough? Is he too nice, that bollocks?
10:32Exactly, yeah. That bollocks, yeah.
10:37I bought some muffins for everyone.
10:39Well, that's very sweet, you go.
10:40Do you know what? Actually, not for me. I need to set an example to the...
10:45Is that an almond croissant, though?
10:47Ah, shit.
10:49I'll tell you what, I'll just... I'll tear off a little...
10:51Actually, fuck it. I've touched it now. I might as well have the old thing.
10:55So, to set out my main goal, then, well, it's to get people smiling again.
11:03To get circles?
11:05To get people happy.
11:07Oh.
11:09Oh, right.
11:10Look, we've had what many thought was a golden generation of players.
11:13Gerard, Lampard, Rooney, and at the same time we've had a series of our worst results almost ever.
11:17How can that be?
11:21It's okay to speak freely.
11:25Honestly, you're free to say anything.
11:33Okay, look, I'll speak freely.
11:36It's the players.
11:38I'm sorry, but a lot of them, they're arrogant.
11:40You know, they just don't care.
11:42It's not like it was in your day, Gareth.
11:44This lot, they're a bunch of millionaires who get pampered and spoiled.
11:47They just don't feel it in their guts anymore.
11:49You know, that pride that men used to feel playing for their country.
11:53A lack of...
11:55No, no, let's be honest, mate.
11:56Right?
11:56They need a firm hand.
11:58A fucking good talking to.
11:59I'm just saying.
12:02Okay.
12:04All of you.
12:06The clock's ticking.
12:08Qualifies and all that.
12:09Assume you're sticking with the squads.
12:11The same players.
12:26You all right?
12:27Right, Wayne?
12:28Are you all right, Gareth?
12:30Ah.
12:31Ah, shit, sorry.
12:32I suppose it's boss now, innit?
12:33Aye.
12:35Nah, we don't need to...
12:37Do all that.
12:41Anyway, congrats.
12:44I can't believe it.
12:45It's getting to the point where the managers are young enough or I'm fucking old enough to
12:49play with them.
12:51It's mad.
12:52It is getting to that point, Wayne.
12:56I do think this is sort of like a moment for a fork in the road, if you know what
13:03I mean,
13:03for the side.
13:06Where if we're going to properly try something new, reset, then...
13:13What, the gate?
13:14I look at you.
13:16Giving out orders.
13:19I'm sorry.
13:21Fifty-three goals for England, Wayne.
13:23The most ever.
13:25Any player.
13:27No silverware to show for a die.
13:34All right.
13:40Wayne.
13:42What?
13:43What's...
13:44What's going wrong?
13:45What are we getting so wrong?
13:46Look, Gareth, I'll be honest with you.
13:49You know, the lads, they don't want to play anymore.
13:52Like, no one here will tell you that, but I will.
13:53They don't want to play?
13:54For England.
13:56Right, it's changed.
13:58At your club, you make a mistake and it's shit, yeah?
14:00But, you know, you're back again the next week.
14:03Like, but England.
14:05And these moments that you know about.
14:08Right?
14:09Too much.
14:11For what?
14:12Like, a few weeks ago, I came off to pitch to them booze and no one said anything to me.
14:19I went back to my hotel room alone and I just decided, fuck it.
14:24Went on a bender for two days straight until I couldn't feel or think anything.
14:28You know, and I'm...
14:30I'm not proud of that boo, but it is what it is.
14:33You know, I've never met anyone who can change that, mate.
14:37Like, so you can make a back four into a three or you can have to keep red instead of
14:41fucking white.
14:41But, like, some questions are just too big or frightening enough to ask at it.
14:46So good luck.
14:52When was the last time you were scared?
14:55The last time you were overwhelmed with waves of worry and anxiety?
15:01Don't get me wrong, some fear is necessary.
15:03It helps protect us when we're at real risk from harm.
15:07But fear can also force us to make poor decisions in the moment.
15:12If those decisions come from a place of panic or terror.
15:17For me, the real tragedy of being afraid isn't what it does to us.
15:23It's what it takes.
15:25It robs us of joy.
15:28You know, that job we didn't apply for.
15:31Never telling that person how we feel.
15:33In your workplaces, without knowing it.
15:37You might have assembled whole structures around avoiding tough choices because of fear.
15:44As leaders then, how do you cultivate an environment where you empower your team to make impactful decisions in the
15:53moment?
15:59Dr. Pepper Grange?
16:01Oh, Gareth Southgate.
16:03I hope this doesn't feel like an ambush or have to tackle from behind.
16:06I know we've been calling trying to, I'm just a fan of your work.
16:09I'll now feel really bad declining your interview.
16:13It's just, I don't think it's for me.
16:16I get that, I do.
16:17There's a lot about football I don't like or agree with people.
16:20And I know it hasn't always been as open to mental health, you know, or psychologists.
16:24I was a performing psychologist.
16:26Now I'm more of a culture coach.
16:28Looking at the whole culture of a place.
16:30Okay, well, that's exactly what I'm...
16:33You see, I've been put in a car already going 100 miles an hour whose entire engine I want to
16:37change but I'm already driving it.
16:39So I need change makers from the outside and, well...
16:44Okay, what is it you're actually asking for? Brass tacks?
16:48I just, er...
16:50Well, I'd settle right now for the team feeling better.
16:52They're not in a good way, but the pressures and the expectation on our lads.
16:57It's everything I know you know about.
16:59And everything you know about, right?
17:02What you went through all those years ago.
17:05I'm sorry, that must have been hard.
17:09Honestly, thanks but I'm okay.
17:12I am Pippa.
17:13I, I, I actually am.
17:16And I know by saying I, I, I three times makes it sound like I'm not, but...
17:22I know with help, I can help prevent any of those young lads going through that.
17:27Hmm.
17:30Is that a good hmm? Or...
17:33England you say?
17:35Yeah.
17:36Come help fix England with me.
17:42So does Southgate have the players available to reach the final stages of major tournaments?
17:47The job at the moment is a thankless task.
17:49Don't feel that we've got the players to compete at the top level at international football.
17:53Oh my God.
17:55I can't believe it, seriously!
17:58Are you, you're here for me?
18:01We are Harrogate.
18:02You're Harrogate now, aren't you Harrogate?
18:04I am.
18:05Ah, I'm Sheffield.
18:07Ah, is this er, what an hour down the A1?
18:09I'd avoid the A1 if I were you boss.
18:11Let's go the A61 down Shadwell, change on the A6120 and circle back on the M1.
18:15Oh, okay, er...
18:20So?
18:21England?
18:23Really?
18:24Yes Harry.
18:26It's all about the players.
18:28Have we got the players? I'm not sure we've got the players.
18:31That's the problem, I don't think it's the managers, but it's the players.
18:36Trust me.
18:37Let's give it another go.
18:39Make the right decisions for the right reasons.
18:41I think he will be successful.
18:44You know, it's tough because everyone expects in this country even to be up there, you know, challenging the top
18:51team in the world.
18:53But realistically, we don't really have the depth of squad of players at our disposal for us to be able
18:59to do that.
19:00So it's a tough, anxious job, I think, but I hope we don't work.
19:03Stop it.
19:15It's tough.
19:30It's tough!
19:33Okay. Morning, team. Morning. Have a seat. Sit down. Welcome to St George's. Some of you for the first time.
19:42Now, I know you know who most of us are, but if I could just...
19:48Hey, sorry. Hi. Hello. It took me ages to some way.
19:53This is Dr Pippa Grange, our new head of people.
19:56Well, she's head of all the people.
19:58She's a psychologist, Ellie. We're going to be working on your mental resilience, as well as our performance and other
20:05things.
20:06Now, one of the things I wanted to talk about is stories.
20:12Stories.
20:13Yeah, you know, once upon a time.
20:15Yeah, sort of. Myths, legends, folklore. These can be a source of pride.
20:19Right. But sometimes, some of them can wear you down, imprison a place, or the people in it.
20:29And for some reason, that does something to us.
20:33So, let me tell you something.
20:36We are probably not going to win the World Cup.
20:41That's good. Very funny.
20:44But what I mean is, I mean, we could.
20:46You never know.
20:47But we really probably are not going to win this World Cup.
20:52The fuck is our list, man?
20:54Yeah, and the good news is, no one else expects us to either.
20:58And why should they?
20:59Why do we believe England can and should win every time?
21:06And what evidence?
21:08The tournament after 1966, we came 8th.
21:11Then in 1974, we didn't even qualify.
21:151978, we didn't qualify.
21:18Then we came 6th, then 8th, then 4th, 9th, 6th, 7th, 13th, and most recently, 26th.
21:30But, in the press, in here, every time, we'd better come first, this is our time, don't cock it up,
21:40and it paralyzes us.
21:42It stops you expressing yourselves.
21:50Do you know what makes up a story?
21:53A three-act structure.
21:56Beginning, middle, and end.
22:00And do you know what I think our problem has been?
22:03New lot turn up, a new team, and everybody expects us to be instantly here,
22:08always on the cusp of victory, without properly building from the ground up.
22:12So, what if we relieved ourselves of that pressure?
22:20What if we planned for a longer journey?
22:28So, what's happening in 2,251 days?
22:32That is the World Cup final in Qatar, three tournaments away.
22:39Beginning, middle, end.
22:41What if that's what we aim to win?
22:44A long-term plan.
22:45So, now, you can just breathe.
22:50Create your story, your history.
22:53Now, we don't have to come up with all the answers right now,
22:55but I would like to go on a quest with you over time to discover that.
23:00Yeah?
23:00And, speaking of, you've all heard of King Arthur and his knights at the Round Table,
23:06their great quest to bring home the Holy Grail.
23:09And these knights were defined by their bravery, yeah, to pull the sword from the stone, if chosen.
23:18But also, by their honour, decency.
23:26And when I see a lot of that in you guys, I do.
23:28So, maybe that's something we can think about.
23:32Pippa, Pippa, a few words.
23:34Yeah.
23:35I mean, only to say, I'm available, one-to-one, of course, any time you want to chat.
23:43But Gareth would also like to protect some time when you're all together, like this,
23:47to share things as a team.
23:49Some of the doubts, worries, anxieties you're all feeling.
23:58Awkward silence.
23:59Oi, don't be rude, man. Come on.
24:01Oh, cough, Endor. You weren't saying anything evil.
24:02You're just being rude, man. You're being fucking rude.
24:04It's okay. It's just something to try, yeah?
24:06To dip your toe into.
24:09Tell it.
24:10Me?
24:14Nah, I don't do doubts or whatever.
24:17You know, it's about being positive, innit?
24:20You know, no offence, but I don't think I really want some of the lads in here
24:23getting inside my head, you know?
24:25Bro, I don't think anyone wants to be inside your head.
24:28Say it again?
24:31Oh, relax. I'm joking.
24:32You're starting with me.
24:33Oi, lads, come on.
24:34Say it again.
24:34Sit down, lads.
24:35You're the big man now.
24:36Calm, Mike.
24:37Like, why are you so sensitive?
24:38Wait.
24:39What, when you're crying, we've got red cards?
24:41No!
24:42Hey, hey, hey, hey!
24:44Hey, hey, hey!
24:47Absolutely not!
24:48Love us in, Mike.
24:49Not that!
24:50Not here!
24:51Oh, you're still getting wound up, Dave.
24:53Sit down.
24:53It's okay.
24:54That's enough.
24:54It's okay.
24:55We're all just, uh, trying to find our feet with this.
24:58It's okay.
24:59Nine goals all season.
25:00Mike, Steve?
25:02Dele, Raheem, Eric,
25:04take ten.
25:05Everyone else outside.
25:07All right.
25:07Tick-tock, tick-tock.
25:08Let's play some football.
25:09Let's go.
25:10Roll for it.
25:16So, that went well.
25:19These aren't waters they've waded into before.
25:23They're facing their fears.
25:28Oh, penalties.
25:29Jesus, really?
25:31Yeah, Gareth, has asked us to look at them.
25:33I can't even watch them.
25:34I'd say my back look away to torture.
25:37And yet, most managers in the past haven't talked about them.
25:40Practiced even.
25:41And yet, it's increasingly the way we exit tournaments.
25:46So, Steve.
25:47England have never, ever won a penalty shootout in a World Cup.
25:51We lost on penalties in 1990 against Germany.
25:5798 against Argentina.
26:02Against Portugal in 2004.
26:05Against Portugal again.
26:07Fucking hell.
26:07In 2006.
26:10We lost against Italy in 2012.
26:15And not forgetting 1996, Gareth.
26:19Yeah.
26:22Now, look.
26:24England take their penalties the quickest in the world.
26:30An average of 2.8 seconds between the whistle and the kick.
26:33And the Germans, the best in the world, take three times that.
26:38Three times as long before they shoot.
26:42Englishmen go so fast, we're basically the premature ejaculators of penalties.
26:46But why?
26:48Sorry.
26:50Why did they take them so fast?
26:52Why the rush?
26:53It's not possible to measure why.
26:55It just is the case.
26:57Forgive me, Pippa, but how's your penalty taken, by the way, can I ask?
27:00Me?
27:02I don't think I could take one to save my life.
27:03Mike, Pippa knows coaching is your guy's department.
27:07But when it comes to psychology...
27:07I'm just joking.
27:18I'm just joking.
27:33Good question.
27:34Everyone wants to know always about who would have taken them, who didn't want to take them.
27:38I will take them to the grave with them, because we were collective responsibility right away through.
27:44Southgate actually looked as if he was looking at me, where one or two maybe wasn't.
27:48And I think it's a matter of the pressure he's on.
27:54And he missed the penalty.
27:58And that was it.
27:59And I could only feel for Southgate, because I was a penalty taker.
28:03And just in a league match, if I missed a penalty, I mean, I missed, I think, the two penalties.
28:08And you just feel like you let everyone down.
28:10You don't even think about yourself.
28:12You just think, oh, everything's resting.
28:14But here is pressure.
28:16The odds.
28:21The odds.
28:36The odds.
28:38The odds.
28:41The odds.
28:44When I blow it for a second time, you come back up.
28:47If anyone breaks the surface before my whistle,
28:50back you go.
28:52Got it?
28:53Yes, sir.
29:12What are we doing?
29:14This is bullshit.
29:16It's team building.
29:17Be a team.
29:20I don't know, man.
29:22I think I look pretty, like, fucking dashing.
29:25You know, I've got my Call of Duty Black Ops shit going on.
29:30Alright, lads.
29:32I think it's this way.
29:33Are you sure?
29:34I think so.
29:35You alright, Pickers? You out of breath with your little legs?
29:39Piss off, Billy.
29:39Come on, let's get it done. Concentrate.
29:42What goes over here, you out for the season?
29:45Wow. Amazing. Amazing impression.
29:47Two Jordys, both good Jordyn.
29:49What's that about them?
29:50Why, who say you calling me, Jordy?
29:51Muck thems, you dick.
29:53Mackies?
29:53Sparks you, I'll tell you, I swear.
29:54You know what? I came to play football.
29:57Now, what's this Marine suck?
29:59Seriously, waste of time.
30:00Need a shit.
30:02Fucking joke.
30:03How short is your short?
30:04Well, they're talking.
30:06Taking the piss, yeah, which is a start, I suppose.
30:08You don't think this is a good idea?
30:09I used to love the skirts.
30:11Working together, bonding.
30:13Well, no, I'm a big fan of bonding.
30:15I'm not sure lack of grit is the problem.
30:16Might be the problem.
30:18Can I ask you a question?
30:20Of course.
30:21When we were back at St George's, go on through, fellas.
30:23We'll catch you up.
30:24When we were talking about penalties, you asked why.
30:29Why is England who struggle the most?
30:33Do you have any idea on why us?
30:37Really want to know?
30:40Yeah, yeah, I do.
30:41All our players react the same way.
30:43When they miss, they literally curl up into a ball.
30:46Like a fetus.
30:48They make themselves small.
30:50Like Eric, everyone thinks that footballers are overconfident, arrogant.
30:54It's not that they don't care.
30:56They're afraid.
30:58They do feel completely alone when they're standing on that spot.
31:03They don't know how to ask for help, and we don't know how to give it.
31:06I think I know where you're going with this.
31:12Do you ever wonder if there are sort of alternative universes out there?
31:17Like one where I picked a different spot.
31:20Yeah.
31:21And where that England is a happier, more confident place as a result.
31:25I don't know, maybe.
31:28We don't live in that England, do we?
31:30No.
31:30We live in this one.
31:32The one where you fucking missed.
31:34Shit.
31:36Shit.
31:36Shit.
31:37All I'm saying is, if you don't go there, Gareth, they never will.
31:41I found one.
31:435,000, 5,000, 6,500, 6,500.
31:44Who's the?
31:48But you're not sure.
31:50It's fine.
31:52It's fine.
31:52My self, it's fine.
31:56It's fine.
31:56It's fine.
31:56So, the world's dzisiaj, you're not sure, the world's here.
31:59It's fine.
31:59You're not sure.
32:02It's fine.
32:02It's fine.
32:02It's fine.
32:03It's fine.
32:03I'm sorry.
32:18All right, fellas, settle down a second, please.
32:22Pippa spoke back at St George's about sharing the doubts and fears that we all have.
32:30And I feel that should include me as well as you,
32:33because, well, I have everything on the line here.
32:36Two, right?
32:38So my thing that I'd like to share comes from what happened when I played for England in 96.
32:46And everybody in the country was so happy.
32:49There were parties, people were smiling.
32:53Then came the semi-final.
32:54We were against Germany, of course.
32:57We scored first early, Shearer 1-0.
33:01But then Kunst equalised for Germany, making it 1-1,
33:04staying that way till extra time, which then meant penalties.
33:09All the other players before me, they all scored theirs, the first five,
33:13and Germany scored theirs.
33:15So it was sudden death.
33:19The first player to miss their team was out.
33:29And there was a silence in our huddle.
33:36Who's going to go first?
33:40So I put my hand up.
33:44And so I began that walk.
33:47Yeah?
33:49That long walk.
33:51To the spot.
33:55My legs were so weak.
33:59The whistle went.
34:01I ran up.
34:05Kicked the ball softly.
34:06Like, so, so soft.
34:08And the keeper rolled gently towards it.
34:10And that was it.
34:16And I just wanted to disappear.
34:19I can't tell you.
34:20I knew I was responsible for ending millions of people's dream.
34:30No one knew what to say to me after.
34:32I didn't want them to say anything anyway.
34:33I couldn't bear it.
34:35It was really just a very bad time.
34:40It just was.
34:43It nearly stopped me from saying yes to this job, Mr. Truth.
34:46Because, um...
35:01I'm afraid of hurting people.
35:07Hurting myself.
35:11But I'm here.
35:13And...
35:14I haven't let those fears...
35:18Stop me...
35:20Doing what I love.
35:22There.
35:23Um...
35:24That's it.
35:26Wow.
35:29Sorry.
35:32Dave, you don't have to put your hand up.
35:36Was there really a player called Cunts?
35:40Deadly, you've got to.
35:42Yeah, there was.
35:43Yeah.
35:50Hey, hold up.
35:51Wait a minute, guys.
35:51Fellas, down.
35:52You're doing it again.
35:53You're in your clubs.
35:53United Spurs.
35:54Mix it up.
35:55Come on, let's cross over.
35:56That's it, Harry.
35:56And again.
35:57Let's start again.
35:57You're a team, yeah?
35:59We're all one.
36:00Back round again.
36:13Yeah!
36:43Yeah!
36:45WHISTLE BLOWS
37:10They all seem a bit more, you know...
37:13Yeah, they do.
37:15So, any thoughts on our potential captain?
37:28Three, two, one...
37:31One, please, go, go, go!
37:46Sit, hold it!
37:47Stay together!
37:49So, it's journal day.
37:51Handing them out, you're getting them.
37:53They're going to be your best friend.
37:54Don't be scared of them.
37:56Guys, use these to share your thoughts, your fears, your doubts.
38:00You never have to talk about what's in there.
38:04Come on.
38:05Yes.
38:08Turn it.
38:11Come on!
38:14I want you bunch of bastards.
38:16I'll have every fucking one of you.
38:18Come on!
38:19New idea, Jordan.
38:21Rather than the taker having to fetch the ball himself,
38:24you're going to hand it to him.
38:27Come on.
38:40I like 96 and the frightened lad who stuck his hand in the air.
38:45We will know in advance who is taking the pen and in what order.
38:51So those players, every one of them, will be completely ready.
38:58Lovely.
38:59Turn it.
39:00Turn it.
39:01Turn it.
39:02Now the wizard has.
39:04A standard pair of the new values of our new team,
39:08our New England captain, Harry Kane.
39:10We're here tonight and England are set for Russia.
39:18It's Kyle Walker's loss.
39:20It's terrific.
39:21It's Harry Kane.
39:23Captain Kane in stoppage time.
39:25And England are Russia back.
39:28Let's get to the good there.
39:29Hey, congratulations, Harry.
39:34Here, let's have a toast, everyone.
39:38To the new permanent England manager.
39:42To Russia with love.
39:45To Russia with love.
40:01Right in big thoughts, are we?
40:04No, just, uh, join.
40:16I had a little go.
40:19A few years and shit.
40:23Me dad had, um, cancer and his fraud.
40:26I thought, like, I'm sorry, that's fine.
40:31I'll talk, but, um, yeah, in terms of, like, that was one for me.
40:40You know, he'd never even let us see him, like, and he was for a year.
40:46He just wanted to be with it all by himself.
40:49Just pride in it.
40:52Deal with things alone.
40:53Suffering silence.
40:55All of that.
40:58My folks.
41:01I'm dead lucky.
41:06Like, they worked for UEFA.
41:11So, I don't know.
41:13You feel like you have to earn that bit, you know?
41:17That opportunity.
41:18Yeah, that's, that's probably one of my biggest, not fears, but, not being useful.
41:27Yeah, I'd, um, yeah, I'd hate that.
41:39When we say you're part of a team, we don't just mean the lads you see around you now.
41:45But part of a continuum that goes back and back.
41:50Harry Kane, did you know, for example, we've established that your England legacy number is 1,207?
41:57That's your place.
41:59You are the 1,207th player to ever put on this show.
42:06Reign number 1,190.
42:11Beckham.
42:12Shearer.
42:13Rooney, even I have one.
42:16A legacy number.
42:18Dara Southgate.
42:191,071.
42:21Going all the way back to number 1.
42:23Pickers, Robert Barker.
42:25No.
42:26What, the keeper?
42:27First ever.
42:28For England's first international against Scotland.
42:31In 1872.
42:35And I want you to think about that before we depart to Russia.
42:42The team that you are in, this team,
42:48and the one stretching back and back
42:54over 150 years, guys,
43:00of stories.
43:01Beckham has scored for England.
43:03He's done it again.
43:04Great round by Michael Lewis.
43:05Oh, it's a wonderful goal.
43:07One goal by Kelly.
43:08He finished from Courtney Carr.
43:10And a half to the guard.
43:13England are the world champions.
43:15I can't believe it.
43:23We had a team that was our love.
43:25Didn't really seem to enjoy putting an English shirt on.
43:29He's actually just changed the whole culture.
43:31I think it's a good choice.
43:32He fits the bill.
43:33He's been there.
43:34Whether it's the one to go into the finals,
43:36that remains to be seen.
43:38Can we go there and get through the group stages
43:40and eat into the competition last 16 quarterfinal?
43:43And these players that we see week in, week out,
43:45can they produce their best moments on the big stage?
43:48Yeah.
43:49Why are you looking so surprised at that?
43:50Wow, Paul.
43:51Yeah.
43:51Look at his friend.
43:52Enough of that.
43:53An English gentleman.
43:54I know.
43:55An English gentleman.
43:56Okay.
43:57Jacket.
43:58Right.
43:59Come on, everyone.
44:00Let's go.
44:00Let's go.
44:00We're running late.
44:03Dare to dream.
44:04England are ready for their opening game
44:06of the 2018 World Cup.
44:14Gareth Southgate's team kick off against Tunisia
44:17in the city of Volgograd.
44:20It's the youngest England squad since the 1962 World Cup.
44:24And they arrived in Russia unbeaten in over a year.
44:41Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Volgograd.
44:46It is a place rich with history.
44:49It has a very different feel to the relative Western familiarity
44:53of the capital Moscow.
44:55This is real Russian.
45:04And Tunisia had bodies around it.
45:06Still, Mingo has got a shot away.
45:10Floated in by Young.
45:12Has that got a cross?
45:13Oh, he came.
45:15Captain's goal for England.
45:16The three Lions have flown out of the traps.
45:21Penalty.
45:22Foul by Walker on Fakradin Ben Youssef.
45:25And he scores.
45:27And he gives thanks.
45:29And Tunisia are level.
45:31The first African goal of World Cup 2018.
45:42And his ankle tacks.
45:44He'll have a free kick and he'll make you a change.
45:47And here, in place of Raheem Sterling,
45:51is Manchester United's wide-wire Marcus Rashford.
45:55Duke is head to surrender a corner
45:57as we head into four minutes of stoppage time.
46:01Trippier's out, swinger.
46:30England's biggest win in major tournament football season go through.
46:34And here, well, they absolutely gave him a huge standing ovation.
46:38Hands above their heads.
46:39Now you know how it feels to win.
46:40England through to the knockout stages.
46:43It's sudden death from here to the final.
46:45It is hard not to dream.
46:47For those who remain very hard,
46:49with every passing day,
46:51with every falling giant,
46:52the possibilities appear to blossom.
46:58The referee's seat of the punch and get a penalty.
47:01Kane is having to demonstrate the nerves of a warrior.
47:07Harry Kane is England's priceless gem.
47:13Colombian pain.
47:15Perhaps English progress.
47:18See down beneath we've in England are preparing their first change.
47:21Eric Dyer has appeared in the company of Steve Holland.
47:27And as he goes off,
47:28Dele Alli can only implore his teammates to see the job through.
47:33Embraced by a manager who has a lot of belief in him.
47:37Contrano takes!
47:38And he's first!
47:40Colombia save themselves at the last!
47:43We're now in the 119th minute.
47:47Penalties approaching.
47:49Throw in for England.
47:50Trippier into the box.
47:51Flicked off by Maguire.
47:52Whacked away for Colombia.
47:55By Mina.
47:58So there's going to take the time.
48:00I think they've accepted Colombia.
48:02It's going to go to a shootout.
48:07One minute of added time.
48:09We have 60 seconds.
48:10Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
48:13Late in the evening in Moscow.
48:14We are one minute away from a penalty shootout.
48:19Between England and Colombia.
48:21For a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
48:24I think my heart rate has just increased.
48:26Insane, those worlds.
48:32That's it.
48:34Colombia won.
48:35England won.
48:36After extra time.
48:37And you know what that means.
48:39It's penalties for England at a World Cup.
48:43Okay.
48:44Listen up.
48:45This is it.
48:47We all know the order.
48:48That's not going to change.
48:49You've all chosen where you're shooting.
48:51That won't change.
48:52Which means we are in control of the things we can be in control of.
48:56Okay?
48:57Yeah.
48:58Okay?
48:59Come on!
49:01Come on!
49:02Come on!
49:03Come on!
49:03Come on!
49:03Routines that are scripted.
49:11Remember.
49:12That whistle is not for you.
49:15It's for them.
49:18You can take as long as you need.
49:26You're a wizard, are we?
49:29Visualize the one pain you've practiced.
49:32And no matter what the Keeper does to spook you.
49:36Stick to that.
49:46Hurricane.
49:47Hurricane.
49:481,200 or so.
49:51And so for England.
49:53King Cain.
49:56Cain again!
49:59And it's 1-1.
50:02Brilliant.
50:03I think he's fantastic at them.
50:06You are not alone on that spot.
50:09There is an invisible thread linking you all.
50:13Connected.
50:17Marcus Rashford.
50:19Young.
50:20Raw.
50:2120-year-old kid from Manchester.
50:25Marcus Rashford.
50:261,250.
50:36Rashford, that's good too.
50:39Know for certain, no matter what the outcome,
50:41you'll be welcomed back into the team
50:44the same way as all the others.
50:47The wall will send it all away.
50:49It'll be a link 3-2.
50:53They'll sound counterintuitive,
50:54but one fear that players who miss have
50:57is turning back to face the rest of you
51:00with your heads down,
51:01is tossing your bottles to the ground.
51:04And that fear can manifest in you
51:06the very thing you're afraid of.
51:08For England now,
51:09a native of the North East.
51:12John Henderson.
51:14On dogs on 170.
51:26Was it all bad?
51:43The Self is terrible.
51:45And yield if I can!
51:51Trivia to level it up.
51:58In effect, so better.
52:03Three each are done for each.
52:06Slight right.
