On this episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete and Sids record from New York following England's heartbreaking World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina, reflecting on an emotional night that saw Thomas Tuchel's side come agonisingly close to reaching a World Cup final. The lads discuss the incredible atmosphere surrounding the tournament, the unique experience of covering football across America, and why this World Cup has delivered some of the most memorable stadiums and fan experiences they've ever witnessed.The boys break down exactly where England's semi-final slipped away, debating whether sitting too deep ultimately cost them, the tactical decisions made in the closing stages, and whether the substitutions should have been more attacking. They discuss Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham's performances, Declan Rice's importance to the side, the emergence of Jed Spence and Dan Burn, and whether this England squad should ultimately be remembered as a success despite the painful exit.Former England defender Gary Neville then joins the pod for an honest and emotional reaction to England's defeat. Gary explains what it feels like to be knocked out of a major tournament, why players carry those moments for the rest of their lives, and analyses Thomas Tuchel's biggest decisions. He also discusses England's defensive approach, whether the criticism of Tuchel is justified, the positives to take from the tournament, and why this World Cup has been one of the best football spectacles in recent memory.There's also another ridiculous challenge as the boys swap footballs for darts with Morgan Rogers. Meanwhile Chris Stark dials in a special interview with the Blossoms as they discuss their new music and thoughts on the world cup so far.Wrapping up with the latest Paddy Power Predictions League ahead of the World Cup Final, Tom's predictions from afar, and plenty of classic TPCP chaos—including power cuts, questionable New York backdrops and the usual nonsense.As always, leave your predictions in the comments below and let us know who you think will lift the World Cup.00:00 - New York catch-up & World Cup reflections03:07 - The best stadiums of the tournament05:04 - England's semi-final heartbreak07:39 - Gary Neville joins the pod09:24 - Where England lost the game13:53 - Tuchel's substitutions analysed20:00 - The positives from England's tournament22:51 - Life after football & Gary Neville37:12 - Darts challenge with Morgan Rogers41:09 - Chris Stark & Blossoms!01:06:52 - World Cup Final Paddy Power predictions01:10:13 - Final thoughts from New York01:11:13 - EndFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Tom Fordyce:Twitter - https://twitter.com/tomfordyceFor more Steve Sidwell:Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell14Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Despite taking the lead, Thomas Tuchel's side retreated into a defensive shape and ultimately paid the price as Lionel Messi provided two assists.

There's some transfer chat as Julian Alvarez interest continues, discussion of William Saliba's back injury which threatens the start of his season, the risible half-time show planned for Sunday, and lots more.
From Lions to Pussies? Time to SACK TIMID TUCHEL NOW! #England #WorldCup #ThreeLions #FootballReaction #JonGauntTV #SackTuchel #Argentina I've had enough. Last night was a disgrace, and I'm not holding back. In this video, I'm breaking down exactly why I believe it's time to sack TIMID TOMMY and stop the rot. I'm sick of seeing the Three Lions playing like pussies when we have the talent to take on anyone. Was it the tactics? Was it the lack of passion? I'll tell you exactly what I saw from the touchline and why that timid approach after we scored cost us everything. It's time for some home truths about the state of the national team and why we need a total overhaul if we ever want to see a trophy again. What I'm covering today: My raw, unfiltered reaction to last night's defeat. Why I think the tactical setup was a total failure. Why did he park the bus so early? The argument for why we need a new leader at the helm right now. My vision for how we actually "bring it home" next time. I want to hear from you. Am I being too harsh, or are you as fed up as I am?

In this electric live reaction episode of The Cooligans, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros broadcast straight from Dallas, Texas, to break down Spain's masterclass 2-0 victory over France in the World Cup semifinals. The guys dissect an astonishingly clinical Spanish performance that completely neutralized the French powerhouse, restricting them to zero shots on target in the first half and a measly 0.3 XG over the entire match. They evaluate the major fallout of the result, including the end of Didier Deschamps' historic cycle as France manager, a devastating non-contact back injury to William Saliba, and how Lamine Yamal's unassuming brilliance consistently unhinged France's defense. Arsenal and England legend Ian Wright joins the show to share his emotional experiences traveling across America during the tournament and running his grassroots Airbnb training experiences. Wrighty delivers pure entertainment as he recounts a hilarious story of accidentally headbutting a broadcast trailer wall while passionately watching Arsenal. Transitioning to elite tactical analysis, the legendary forward provides an invaluable striker clinic for USMNT's Folarin Balogun, laying out the exact micro-adjustments needed to take fewer touches, tighten up movement inside the box, and reach a world-class international status. He also weighs in on the controversy surrounding Erling Haaland's disallowed goal for Norway and fiercely defends Jude Bellingham from out-of-context post-match media spin. Finally, the hosts pivot to the remaining blockbuster semifinal fixture: a highly anticipated, historically charged showdown between England and Argentina. Christian and Alexis debate England's heavy reliance on Bellingham and Harry Kane, look at how Tottenham's Cristian "Cuti" Romero transforms into an absolute beast when wearing his national team colors, and analyze whether Enzo Fernández can control the tempo of the midfield. The episode wraps up with official score predictions, debating whether Lionel Messi's veteran squad will succumb to exhaustion or if the Three Lions will march into the final.

There's also a link to a back-up goalkeeper, some thoughts on Santi Cazorla after he announced his retirement, and lots more.Here's the Sid Lowe interview with Santi Cazorla mentioned in the pod - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe

This is Clarence Seedorf as you've rarely seen him before - thoughtful, uncompromising and still analysing the game with the same intensity that defined his playing career.Seedorf joins Rio at his Airbnb in Los Angeles and delivers a fascinating assessment of the current World Cup, explaining why England fans are often too tense watching their team, why Jude Bellingham reminds him of an old-school footballer, the one personality trait he'd love to see Declan Rice add to his game and why Elliot Anderson is worth £100m. He also discusses the Netherlands' chances of winning the tournament, whether Virgil van Dijk belongs amongst the greatest Dutch defenders ever and the reasons why the modern game is producing fewer creative players compared to previous generations.There's brilliant insight into some of the biggest stars in football too, with Seedorf defending Cristiano Ronaldo's place in Portugal's team, explaining why Kylian Mbappé hasn't yet reached his ceiling and sharing stories about the extraordinary talent of Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo Nazário Fenômeno. He reveals why R9 was capable of things even team-mates never saw in matches, compares different types of elite strikers and explains why football sometimes underestimates players who make those around them better.The conversation also revisits some pivotal moments from Seedorf's own career, including the phone call that convinced him to turn down Manchester United and sign for Inter Milan instead.
