Description
The pressure on the shoulders of England football's been likened to what the All Blacks often endure at a Rugby World Cup.The Three Lions are playing in their first final at a major tournament since their famous World Cup win 55 years ago, in tomorrow morning's Euros decider against Italy.Renowned football commentator Clive Tyldesley told Miles Davis different things can happen in knockout sport."The expectation All Blacks carry into every World Cup is probably similar to the expectation England have carried."Also feeling the pressure will be Gareth Southgate, who has managed the side to their first final at a major tournament since 1966.Tyldesley says they are longtime friends, and he doesn't blame people thinking they got lucky with Southgate."He's kind of one of us, he's an everyman. When he speaks, he speaks with consideration and sensitivity."He's very 21st century. If any of these young players have got an issue, they can knock on his door."LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
